booked Gary Preston for their Wedding at Nutfield Priory

“Gary played both before and during our wedding service. Many people in the congregation - including musicians - complimented his performance. In planning for the day Gary was very helpful with suggestions for music. He specifically learnt a song for my wife to walk down the aisle and played it perfectly, having sought out the original music and deciding with us the best bit to play for this part of the service. I would strongly recommend Gary for a wedding service or a party - he is friendly, professional and a great pianist. ”

booked Gary Preston for their event

“I found Alive Network an excellent company to work with. I was unsure of exactly what I wanted but Clare (My Alive Co-ordinator) was excellent in advising me with what was available and then providing excellent information on each on the artists. Alive Network are a very professional company as was the artist I booked via them. Gary Preston was fantastic and delivered exactly what we asked of him. I would have no hesitation in recommending Alive Network to friends and family in the future. Thank you for all your help and making this part of the wedding organising a very easy part! Kind Regards Michelle ”

booked Gary Preston for their Wedding in Cornwall

“I found the whole booking experience with Alive Network quite easy and straight forward. There was a choice of artists available but Gary's reportoire appeared to match our requirements exactly and he certainly didn't dissapoint on the day. Having spoken to Gary ahead of the wedding to finalise timings, music and dress he demonstrated professionalism straight away. On the day he was exactly what we had hoped for, an accomplished piano player who played a range of music of music to accompany the day and keep all guests happy. Very helpful and very professional.

booked Gary Preston for their event in West Sussex

“I booked Gary for our Silver Wedding lunch - I've had so many compliments to pass on to Gary for setting the right tone of specialness without it being stuffy and playing, so beautifully, music that appealed to all ages. It made the whole atmosphere absolutely delightful. Thank you so much. Just wish I could think of another excuse for a party and ask him to join us again. Gemma was very professional, helpful and responded very quickly to my initial enquiry - it was all sorted and booked within an hour of my first contact. Helen & Richard Daborn ”

booked Gary Preston for their event in London

“I was searching for a Pianist with an extensive repertoire for my Father’s 90th Birthday Party & found Alive Network on the web. I felt Gary was the man for the evening’s additional entertainment – especially after speaking with him on the phone! – and I’m delighted to say that neither I nor my partygoing guests were disappointed! We had several generations of family & friends who’d travelled significant distances to be there - Gary’s varied programme catered for all of the guests & their various musical tastes – they were extremely appreciative of his expertise, professionalism & his ability to play at a level which was not intrusive but enabled them to enjoy his obvious talent. Gary certainly helped make the event truly unforgettable! ”

booked Gary Preston for their event in London

“Clare, The event was a complete success, thanks not only to the one day of summer we seemed to have had (!) but also in large part to Gary, Laura and Gabriel. They created a wonderful atmosphere which was just the thing we were looking for. Gary and the band arrived well before time and were helpful, pleasant folk. It was a joy to work with them. They brought all they needed and were very satisfied with the facilities we provided. The standard and quality of their sets was excellent, with a wide and varied repertoire and complimentary comments were received all evening. I would have no hesitation in recommending them, or indeed in using them again in the future. Many thanks for your help. Martin”

“Hi Rebecca, Thanks for your email! I would like to say thank you so much for organising Gary Preston to play the piano at our wedding on 19th July. The music was brilliant and all our guests commented on how nice it was to have such a good pianist play during the wedding breakfast, it really set a nice atmosphere. Gary was very professional in the run up to the wedding as well as on the day making sure that everything was to my liking and everyone had a tear in their eye when he played Imagine by the Beatles as we exited the ceremony room! Once again, many thanks and pls feel free to use my feedback for your website. Kind regards, Eithne”
