| About Sarah Lawson - Classically Trained Pianist |
"Thank you for the beautiful music you played at my 60th birthday party. All the guests commented what a lovely touch it was." Mr D. Hall, Sutton Coldfield
"Sarah played for our Wedding Dinner and her playing was fantastic. She played an excellent selection of songs / tunes from modern day and some old classics. All of our guests were very impressed and I know that many of them passed their thanks onto Sarah directly on the day. Being a pianist myself I can confidently say that Sarah's playing was excellent and I would have no problem in recommending her to anyone. Thanks Sarah, you really added a special touch to our day." Simon & Stacey
"I can't recommend Sarah more highly. She played beautifully throughout my wedding ceremony and drinks reception and so many of the guests commented on how much they enjoyed the music. Sarah was also very thoughtful in providing suggestions for appropriate pieces for the ceremony and was flexible in enabling us to personalise the wedding with music which was meaningful to us." L. Greenwood
