We just found this blog! Thanks for everything Alyson! Your playing at our wedding was beautiful and you are so talented, making your own piano versions of other songs. I would highly recommend you for any event especially a wedding when you want someone not just very talented but so reliable, kind & generous. You seem to put a lot of thought into all of your work. Thank you again!! Jen and David Stoddart

You were amazing and we are so happy you helped us make our wedding so special. From the initial communication to the day, you were fantastic. I felt great confidence. You made me feel at ease and any silly question I asked you replied. You played beautifully throughout the ceremony and reception. Added a beautiful vibe to the day. We enjoyed listening to you and I loved all the Disney songs you played! You are amazing at what you do and I would recommend you to everyone! We cannot thank or recommend you enough!

Alyson played for our wedding on 25 April 2019. 5 stars is not enough, her talent and service is unbelievable.From first emails and meeting with Alyson she was so lovely and welcoming she couldn’t do enough for us. Do not hesitate in booking this incredible musician you will not regret it. Thank you Alyson so so much!

Alyson has been an absolute pleasure to deal with from start to finish and went out of her way to change the arrangement of songs for me. She also sent me recordings of our chosen songs before the wedding which was great and they’re lovely to keep. Do not hesitate in booking Alyson. Thank you again.

Thanks Alyson! It was a pleasure having you play at the wedding and every guest that attended praised you on your playing. You made our day so special and I’m sure you can tell your playing brought out the best emotions in all of us. Can’t recommend or thank you enough!

We booked Alyson for our wedding on 30th October 2019 in Corick House for both our ceremony and reception drinks. From the moment we booked, Alyson could not do enough to help us. You were able to create the most special moment for us and one we’ll cherish forever when you completed a beautiful composition of our two favourite songs for when I walked down the aisle which had Chris and everyone else in tears. You were so professional and helpful, sending us all of our chosen songs in advance so we could be sure of what we wanted. Even when I asked for a song you had not tried before, you did not simply play from sheet music but edited it so it would be perfect for our day. Everyone remarked on your performance throughout the day and we both cannot wait to hear it again in our wedding video where we’ll definitely include your recordings throughout. It made our day even more special and we both cannot thank you enough! Definitely recommend hiring Alyson for any occasion!

We just wanted to tell you that we had an absolutely fabulous night at the party. You played beautifully and the song selection was perfect. You really helped to make the night very special and one that will not be forgotten in a long, long time. Thanks again.

Thank you so much Alyson for everything. We couldn’t have asked for more. If anyone is looking for a pianist for their wedding or corporate function, this is your lady. Alyson is such a lovely person to work with. She listens to your ideas and produces amazing music.

Thank you so much for playing at our wedding and for all your work preparing music. We loved your versions of our song choices – especially the upbeat ‘Here Comes the sun’ – really great!

Jen and DavidThe Old Inn, Crawfordsburn

Alyson played at our wedding on 2 May 2019 and it was one of my favourite features of the day. Not only is Alyson a talented and creative pianist, she is so easy to work with, keeps you in the loop via email and she makes the music so personal. Our choice of music was pretty quirky but this wasn’t a problem for Alyson who spent time in advance arranging pieces of music to suit. Alyson, I really appreciate all the effort you put into making music such a special part of Jaime & I’s day so a massive thank you!!

I am an admin on a large wedding group on Facebook called Weddings, Brides, Dresses and More Original. I was very lucky that I was given the opportunity to review some of Alyson’s songs. I found the website super easy to navigate! Everything was clearly labelled and laid out. There was a vast variety of songs for us to choose from. I really loved how you could hear the songs before deciding which ones to choose – I found this feature the best! I was blown away with how amazing the music sounded. We could tell straight away what songs they were. Communication with Alyson was amazing and she made sure that we were happy with what we had chosen. We will be using the music in our upcoming wedding ceremony in August and I know our guests will love the music just as much as we do! Highly recommend to everyone!

It was lovely to meet you today and even lovelier to sing with you! You are a fantastic pianist. Your pieces were flawless and it was a joy to work with you! Maybe we will have the chance to work together again in the future!

Thank you so much for being here to play on this special day! So many tears have been shed listening to all the wonderful music you have prepared for us, no doubt even more will be shed today! The ceremony is the most important part of our day and having you play our favourite music means so much to us! Thanks again!

Booked Alyson approximately 6 weeks before my wedding as my original pianist was unable to attend. I couldn’t be happier with my choice and feel that we got the best deal out of a stressful situation! Alyson quickly reassured us that she could play any piece we wanted and in fact arranged a Tchaikovsky waltz specifically for us as well as two more popular pieces. The music was commented on by guests who all agree that it was beautiful and having her play through the drinks reception made for a lovely atmosphere. I would definitely recommend Alyson.

Terri and IvanThe Old Inn, Crawfordsburn

Thank you again for beautifully playing at our wedding. I will recommend you to my friends and family.
