Peter S booked Dorel Oprea for their event in West Sussex

“The function Dorel Opera played at on 26 May was a Celebration of Life for my late wife held at the spectacular Bailiffs court Hotel in Climping, West Sussex. My daughters and I had 40 guests in a relatively small room with a buffet lunch and wanted gentle background music during the event. I submitted a list of 25 songs from the classic Broadway musicals which were a huge part of the theatre life my wife and I had together for over 40 years. Dorel did exactly what we wanted, played superbly all afternoon, and ran through the entire song list we had provided. A brilliant afternoon of background music which was exactly what we wanted. A lovely man and a fabulous pianist.”

Super Pianist

“Dorel was excellent. He instinctively knew what kind of music we required for the celebrations we had in mind. When we had spur of the moment requests, Dorel played them without delay! On top of that, he's an absolute gent.”

You saved the day!

Dan T booked Dorel Oprea for their Wedding in Hertfordshire

“I must start off by saying how amazing Dorel was on the day. He was thoroughly professional, played the right songs at the right time and was a lovely man! Prior to our wedding, Dorel's communication was spot on. He was really attentive and asked when to play certain songs at certain times etc. He played, with the grand piano shell for the ceremony, during the photos/ canapes & the wedding breakfast. It looked fantastic. And he was well dressed for the part aswell. As well as playing fantastic and recognisable songs for the whole day, he became our saviour at one point! During the ceremony, a nightmare situation happened. My wife had chosen a specific song she and the bridesmaids/ ushers were to walk down the aisle to. Unfortunately the sound system at the venue, for this crucial part, failed us and the song didn't play. Dorel looked at us, as aghast as I was. Then quickly sprung into action and played Ed Sheeren's 'Perfect', so that they weren't walking out into silence. He was our saviour at that point! And it was a perfect song choice aswell. He also played the specific requests at the right times (for the signing of the register, walking out of the ceremony, last song etc). A standout moment was when Dorel played the walking out song (the Harry Potter theme tune, no less) and our guests loved it!! Dorel was a crucial part of our day and really helped the day flow with his piano playing. Our guests all commented on how fantastic he was and I would definitely recommend him to anyone thinking of hiring a pianist for any special occasion. We can't thank Dorel enough.”

Exceeded our expectations in every way

Hannah E booked Dorel Oprea for their Wedding in London

“The whole thing was incredibly smooth from the very start. Cornel was so easy to communicate with and so enthusiastic about all of our ideas. He wasn’t phased by any of our special requests and gave us helpful tips when we needed them. On the day he really made our wedding ceremony even more special than it already was. He played beautifully, and all of our guests commented on how wonderful he was. I can’t quite express how happy we are with the whole experience.”

A Fantastic performance and a great addition to our wedding ...

Siobhan J booked Dorel Oprea for their Wedding in Bedfordshire

“Dorel played at our wedding three weeks ago and was super helpful even before the day. He provided us music to choose from that would help set the tone for each of the special milestones throughout the day . On the day itself we received so many compliments on his performance and we loved all the music that was played. I can not recommend him enough!!”
