    Ben you're an absolute gem! So we pretty much found him last minute and he was super helpful throughout whole process. He accommodated our complex requests and played fabulously on the day at our ceremony and reception. Our guests loved him and we would absolutely choose him again if we could do it over! A true professional.

    We chose Ben to play at our wedding at Merrydale Manor in June 2022. From our first contact with Ben it was clear we had made a great decision! From telephone conversations leading up to the day and then the day itself, everything ran seamlessly. Ben is extremely talented, not only does he play beautifully but his ability to pick up a vast array of songs and make them flow without any awkward pauses or clunkiness is testament to what he does. Our guests commented on how the music was beautiful, but never intrusive. Ben is a pleasure to deal with and if you’re thinking of booking a pianist for your wedding or event, don’t look any further. Thank you Ben for being part of our special day in such a lovely way.

    I highly recommend Benjamin Clarke as a wedding pianist. He is AMAZING! He is so talented and can play so many songs. We chose to have film soundtracks and TV themes at our wedding breakfast. Our wedding was June 2022 and I still remember him playing the US office theme tune, it was so much fun! If there's any songs you want him to play thats not on his repoirtoire online just ask! Ben is very professional, friendly and efficient and even sent us a few recordings for us to listen to and the booking process is very easy too. 5/5, thanks again!

    Ben was a wonderful pianist at our wedding. He is very reliable and really easy to work with. Prior to the wedding we met Ben virtually where he demonstrated some of the songs we requested to play. He also provided some suggestions and advice on the playlist. Ben made an effort to research and play some of the bespoke songs we had requested for our wedding. On the day, he was on time and played everything flawlessly. If you need a wedding pianist, we would highly recommend Ben!

    Booking Ben for our wedding day was one of the best decisions we made. From the get go, he was so professional and had such a warm personality. We had a lovely zoom call to chat ideas and we instantly knew we had to book him when he played Harry Potter us 😏 He played beautifully during our wedding breakfast, and everyone loved singing along to Edelweiss in memory of my grandma. We just wish he could play to us every day!! Thankyou so much Ben, couldn't recommend you enough!! Loretta and Jo xxx
