Based in Derby, England 9th September 2026 Tim Caldwell - Corporate Photo of Alex Lamb - Pianist Alex Lamb - Pianist "Alex was amazing. He played the piano at my daughter's wedding at Prestwold Hall. From the moment we booked him , he kept in touch and took the time to find out about the style of music we wanted, including our requests for some specific tunes. He sent us a video of himself playing the tunes so we got a real feel for how it would sound on the day. He was more than happy with any changes we made closer to the big day. He arrived promptly at the wedding venue, smartly dressed and was very friendly and approachable. He was right on cue with all the music changes and many of the guests conveyed to us how good Alex was. We cannot highly recommend him enough. Thank you Alex for being part of our special day."
