He exceeded all our imaginable dreams by his amazing performance and we both are so so so grateful. Everything from the first phone call was so straight forward, open and honest. But more importantly he just added to the excitement of the preparations by sharing his ideas of what would work for us. His knowledge about how to create the right balance and atmosphere was really invaluable. I just felt like I did not have to worry as he had the experience to adjust things as needed with his amazing portfolio. Chris got back to all my emails amazingly promptly, guided me on what I needed to do and just made the whole thing so easy for me (fantastic for me as a busy doctor bride-to-be). I particularly loved his kindness and enthusiasm about being involved with our day. He more than exceeded all our requirements for the day: arriving early, setting up his very smart equipment and then performing to such an amazing standard. The atmosphere he created was amazing and really made the rooms come alive with a real buzz. I had tears in my eyes full of emotion as he played our choice of bridal entrance music - the sound was amazing. The balance of drinks reception music he played was brilliant. The style, volume and choices were really perfect and it was such a lovely atmosphere that he created. We were delighted and so were our guests. The music was beautifully played and we really were blown away. In summary, I was delighted to have found Chris, he delivered an amazing performance and made our wedding day so special. Needless to say 10 out of 5 throughout as 5 out of 5 does not reflect how impressed we were." Claire & David 2. "Everyone was so impressed by the diversity and high standard of the music played. Without doubt it was one of the highlights of our day." Tom & Sarah 3. "You played so brilliantly at our wedding breakfast. Everyone commented on how good you were and what a change it was to hear real music. " Lorraine 4. "Christopher Langdown is destined for a long and glittering career as one of the world's top pianists". Divine Art Records 5. "Strongly recommended". Fanfare Music Magazine, USA
