We would fully recommend to hire Iryna to play the piano at your event!"

Matthew Zelenin Music
"Matt played piano during our wedding cocktail hour, and he was absolutely amazing. His music created such a beautiful and elegant atmosphere while our guests mingled, and it truly elevated that part of the evening. So many people came up to us to say how much they loved the music.
Matt was professional, punctual, and very easy to work with throughout the process. We’re so grateful he was part of our wedding day and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a talented pianist for their event!"
Tim Scott
"After listening to Tim's music on Spotify and loving his unique style and incredible skill, my wife and I booked Tim to play at our wedding reception at Daisy Bank Manor earlier this year.
Tim kicked off by playing one of his own tracks - Magnesium Black - for our first dance, which set things off to a great start! He played an absolutely brilliant set, full of energy all the way through and kept people on the dancefloor all evening right up until we were kicked out! We and our guests had a great time, with Tim playing a perfect mix of classic dance hits, crowd pleasers, and some of his own songs, all with his unique guitar mashing to keep things really interesting!
Ahead of the wedding, Tim was very helpful all the way through, with prompt, clear communication, and really took the time to get an idea of what kind of music we wanted.
We highly recommend Tim Scott Guitar if you're after a brilliantly energetic and unique party!
Thanks Tim Scott Guitar!"
Vivian Perez & Luz D’ Habana
"Luz D’Habana played two stunning sets at our wedding! The first was a stripped back lounge set on the terrace post-ceremony, the second was a full band set after dinner which had all of our guests up and dancing from the first moment until the last. The quality of the musicianship was so high, it surpassed all of our expectations. The band were incredibly easy to communicate with, and everything ran very smoothly. I highly recommend booking them if you can!"
