Links

Over the years, I have made a lot of friends who are involved in the wedding industry. Here are just a few of them. Apart from doing a good job, these are all nice people … I wouldn’t recommend anyone who isn’t!

Some have direct links, while others just have contact information. Either way, I hope you'll find it useful.

Organ/Piano - I play the organ at my church every week, but if you need an organist, or a pianist to provide background entertainment at your reception, don't ask me - ask my 2nd cousin Stephen. A graduate of Winchester College and an absolute genius on the ivories, he makes me sound distinctly average. Give him a call on 01424 203939.
