We booked Cate for our wedding and we were not disappointed! We loved how accommodating she was, and the personalised service she offered us. So many guests commented on how great she was. If you are looking to book a pianist for your wedding I would highly recommend "The lady on the piano", you won't be disappointed.

Cate, thank you for making our day so special.

It was a pleasure dealing with Cate as the pianist for our wedding. She played for the ceremony and after at the drinks reception in the hotel. She was very accommodating when discussing the music we wanted playing and delivered it excellently. She was a joy to work with and we'd definitely recommend her! Thank you!
