The Manchester Piano Trio - Piano Trio Feedback

“The whole process from booking to event was seamless. The trio were absolutely outstanding. Everyone commented on how good the music was. The bride herself was delighted to walk done the aisle to her favourite tune played live. The mix of music played was again superb. I would have no hesitation in recommending the trio for any event ”

Beth Parrish, Lancashire Manor, Wedding (November 2021)

“The act was everything we hoped for and so many people commented on how wonderful they were. They were punctual, easy to communicate with and accommodated all of our requests. Even finding extra music to play when the bride was late due to traffic! Booking was easy and would definitely recommend. ”

Bethan Cappelli, , none (August 2019)

“We hired The Piano Trio to provide our wedding music in December 2014. They were very professional and catered exactly to our requirements. They even arranged a piece of music that was not in their repertoire at our request. As for the big day, they arrived on time, required minimal input to set up and organise themselves, and surpassed our expectations. The music was played beautifully and many of our guests told us how much they enjoyed the music. They played before the ceremony as the guests arrived, during the ceremony and afterwards during the drinks reception. If you’re planning on live music at your wedding, I can’t recommend The Piano Trio enough. Weddings are an administration nightmare, and this band played exquisitely, had a good price and were stress free. Thanks again to the Trappini Trio. ”

Richard Dufton,

“We booked The Piano Trio for our wedding this summer to play both before and after the ceremony in church and during drinks at our reception. They specially arranged the music we chose for the bridal entrance – which created a beautiful atmosphere and made some of our guests shed a tear! They were versatile (playing a tango arrangement for my Argentinian husband), were organised and very easy to work with – many people commented on their music afterwards. Highly recommended! ”

RJ Caso,

“Ben and I would just like to say a massive thank you to you all for playing so beautifully at our wedding ceremony in Ranmoor Church and then at our Tipi reception in the woods on Saturday. Everyone, including ourselves of course, were blown away and throughly enjoyed listening to you play! ”
