"Andrew accompanied me on the piano for my solo singing at my friend's birthday party this weekend. We had never met before and only had a quick run-through before the performance - his playing was immaculate. I had total confidence in him - it was a great pleasure to perform with him and I would happily do so again."

Birthday party, The Habadashery, Glasgow, Oct 2023

"Andrew played at my 50th Birthday Party and he was fabulous. He has a great repertoire and played while people had drinks and during the meal.
I also asked him in advance if he could accompany two songs sung by guests and he went out of his way to accommodate this, paying attention to detail and preparing in advance with two rehearsals as well.
I cannot recommend him highly enough."

Birthday party, The Habadashery, Glasgow, Oct 2023

"If you are looking for a pianist for your wedding or any event I would highly recommend Andrew. From the moment we booked with him right up until our wedding he communicated well and had a short response time. Andrew also liaised with our venue directly which was a huge help. He has an eclectic repertoire and we requested a song for the processional which was not in his list however he advised he could play it. We got so many compliments from our guests too. Thank you again Andrew :) "

Stephanie

Wedding, Mansfield Traquair, Sept 2023

"We booked Andrew to play piano during our drinks reception for our wedding and we could not have asked for better. Previous to the wedding, I handpicked songs from Andrew's repertoire that I would like to have played, merely as a request, and he played each of these songs plus two different songs I had requested that were slightly 'out there'. So many of my guests commented on how incredible Andrew was and were so pleasantly surprised to hear artists such as Metallica played classically. He was so lovely to my husband and I - taking the time to introduce himself and say goodbye. Would absolutely recommend Andrew's services for any event."

Kali

Wedding, House for an Art Lover, Sept 2023

"Andrew was fantastic! We booked him to play as part of our wedding ceremony and all our guests commented about how he really added something special to our ceremony. Andrew was really open and flexible when it came to planning on what we wanted and then was able to communicate with the venue himself to arrange set up. Very professional and just a fantastic pianist!"

Callum

Wedding, Leith Custom House, July 2023

"Andrew was absolutely fantastic at our wedding. He learned 2 songs for us, surprisingly enough as his repertoire is very vast. However, he played them excellently and our guests really enjoyed him. Thanks Andrew!"

Victoria

Wedding, Crossbasket Castle, May 2023

"Me and my wife started out looking for a pianist to play at our wedding..... We came across Andrew's page, and we are so thankful we did.

Working with Andrew and having him play at our wedding was amazing, he is very professional and amazing at what he does, having a huge playlist & also learning songs to play that we requested just to make our big day perfect. I really can't praise Andrew enough. He is very responsive and also welcoming when we had questions..... and most importantly talented when it comes to the piano.

We wish you the best Andrew & thank you for making our big day perfect."

Graham

Wedding, Gleddoch Hotel, Apr 2023

"Andrew played at our wedding ceremony and reception and he was brilliant. Ahead of the day, he arranged an acoustic cover of our favourite song for walking down the aisle, which our guests loved. He was a great addition to our day, really professional and accommodating. Highly recommend if you're looking for a pianist!

Hazel

Wedding, Dundas Castle, Mar 2023

"We spent a while looking for someone to play the piano at our wedding ceremony and drinks reception. We were really pleased when we found Andrew as he seemed very experienced and competitively priced. We requested a particular song for me to walk down the aisle to, which Andrew was more than happy to learn. We chose a further two songs from Andrew's extensive repertoire list and then left the rest up to him. Andrew did a fantastic job and we received lots of compliments from the guests. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend Andrew for any function."

Tovah

Wedding, Melville Castle, Jan 2023

"Andrew performed during the ceremony at my wedding. Very helpful and communicative throughout the months leading up to the wedding. Even put together a song for me walking down the aisle and played it perfectly. Everyone was making comments on how good he was and how amazing the music sounded. I can’t recommend him enough :)

Lauren

Wedding, Cornhill Castle, Dec 2022

"Andrew really added the ‘wow’ factor at our 40th Anniversary Celebrations & entertained us all with his wide ranging repertoire, so beautifully played.

"Andrew played a set during our wedding drinks reception and dinner. He was professional, warm and an incredible performer. The repertoire was perfect, switching between jazzy tunes and pop classics; his style suited the ambiance of our venue perfectly. He really added an X factor to the whole night! During our correspondence, Andrew was courteous and very responsive. I can’t recommend his services enough!"

Giancarlo

Wedding, The Savings Bank, Glasgow, May 2022

"We booked Andrew for our wedding day fairly last minute as my previous pianist cancelled and wow! I cannot sing Andrew’s praises enough! He played excellently all day, what a talent! He learned my entrance song and the signing of the register song and the exit song and played them perfectly for me walking down the isle. He then travelled to our reception venue where he played for all our guests and everyone commented on how brilliant he was. I also just want to mention that Andrew was able to accommodate a very last minute request to change the signing of the register song which just shows what a professional he is. Thank you so so much for being part of mine and Colins special day."

Sarah

Wedding, Gleddoch Hotel, Nov 2021

"Andrew has recently played my wedding & all I can say is what an amazingly talented & helpful man, Andrew was always fast to reply to my emails while taking the time to learn a few new songs for me & my wife. Everyone at the wedding was blown away by his playing, he plays everything from guns n roses to classical to modern day pop. He arrived long before anyone else and left long after dinner. I can’t recommend him enough. Please please please if you need a man to play piano really consider this man you won’t be disappointed."

Steven

Wedding, Oran Mor, Oct 2021

"Andrew played for our wedding in October 2021 and we would highly recommend him. He was professional and quick to respond and has a wide ranging repertoire that he shared with us. He also offered to learn music that was personal to us for walking down and back up the aisle. On the wedding day he arrived early and sounded amazing. All of our guests commented on how much they enjoyed his music and the sound was fantastic. His services are great value and he really added that extra something to a fantastic day."

Fiona

Wedding, House for an Art Lover, Oct 2021

"Andrew played the piano for my wedding reception and meal - and I can truly say he was absolutely incredible. He is so immensely talented playing everything from beautiful classical , to well know chart hits. His communication from the very start was excellent and he even was able to play a special song we requested that wasn’t on his list. Andrew was great with my daughter and also didn’t mind when my one year old decided to play a duet with him. I looked into a few different pianist for my wedding day but Andrew immediately stood out and he was one of the highlights of my day!"

Laura

Wedding, Carlowrie Castle, Oct 2021

"You should not plan a wedding without booking Andrew first. Was a great communicator and was happy to learn new songs to ensure our wedding had that personal touch. Every guest was raving about how great he was. Andrew helped create an amazing ambiance throughout the reception to the breakfast dinner that carried throughout the day."

David

Wedding, Citation, Glasgow, Sept 2021

"I got married just this Friday and Andrew kindly provided the music for not just our wedding breakfast but also for me walking down the aisle and during our drinks reception - he was amazing!!

His piano playing added to the whole day, he played not just requests by David & I but from our guests too. When Andrew took a break our guests wondered as to where he was as they missed his music!

Such a professional from start to finish and we can never thank him enough.

Highly recommend for any function you may need an amazing piano player who knows how to really please a crowd! THANK YOU!!"

Kuldeep

Leanne

Wedding, House for an Art Lover, Glasgow, Sept 2021

"Andrew played at our wedding in the Dalmeny Park on 8th august 2021. He was absolutely amazing, setting a really beautiful atmosphere. He played me down the aisle and then played during the meal and drink reception. Loads of guests commented how good he was and even the resident piper at the hotel said he was by far the best pianist he had heard.

When booking Andrew he replied quickly and helped us pick songs for walking down the aisle to. He made the whole process so stress free.

Couldn’t recommend him enough, thanks again!"

Claire

Wedding, Dalmeny Park House Hotel, Aug 2021

"Andrew was very professional and provided an exceptionally high quality service to us from start to finish. Andrew was extremely helpful and supportive when we were making changes to our day due to Covid-19. He provided us with his repertoire of music and gave us the option to choose 3 songs for him to learn which added an extra personal touch to our day. Andrew is extremely talented and the music he played during our ceremony and register signing created the perfect atmosphere in the room. I would highly recommend Andrew to friends and family. Thank you Andrew"

Steven

Wedding, Old Course Hotel, St Andrews, Oct 2020

"Andrew played the piano at our wedding on the 2nd of October. I can not sing his praises loud enough. He was utterly professional before and during, and was so accommodating and understanding with all the last minute changes, and even more changes resulting from covid.

His piano playing was absolutely wonderful and so perfect for the event. Our wedding was streamed far and wide and I honestly think every single person paid compliment and asked about the "outstanding piano player"

The things you sweat about when planning a wedding seem endless, but if you want a truly magical day, with a musical ambience that brings the whole event to life, then book Andrew Edmond on the piano! Thank you so much for being such an integral part of our day. Ruth & Steven xx"

Erin

Wedding, Dunblane Hydro Hotel, Feb 2020

"Andrew was an absolutely fantastic addition to our wedding day. Before the wedding day he was extremely friendly, helpful and always replied to my questions promptly. Andrew was also happy to learn new songs for our ceremony. He contracted our venue before hand and made his arrangements for set up etc which I was really impressed by as it gave us one less thing to worry about on the lead up to the big day. On the day, lots of guests commented on his amazing playing. He was flexible with music timings and fitted into the ceremony flawlessly. Andrew then kept everyone entertained during our drinks reception! Andrew is a real gem and my husband and I both couldn’t recommend him any more! He really does go that extra mile!"

He took the time to visit our wedding venue before we actually booked him so he could provide a detailed plan for our day. He was also very accommodating in letting us hear some snippets of our specific song requests for our Big Day.

The music was fantastic on our wedding day and we would highly recommend Andrew to anyone looking for a pianist to play at their wedding".

I can honestly say that it was an absolute joy to work with Andrew - right from the beginning he was an incredibly professional and kind person to speak with and graciously learned a number of pieces we had in mind for our ceremony along with our chosen hymns. We received an overwhelming amount of comments on the day and in the weeks that followed with guests asking who ‘the amazing chap playing the piano so beautifully’ was. Our Minister in particular was extremely impressed and commented on Andrew’s talent, professionalism and his ability to make everything flow so perfectly. Having Andrew there added a huge amount to our church wedding - he really was just wonderful.
