Couples remember the music
Raphael and the piano truly made our wedding even more magical! We only wish we would have booked for even longer. Highly recommend!
AMAZING experience and so professional. So easy to contact and get in touch with. Gives great recommendations and does an amazing job! Highly recommend! Used him for my wedding I planned from Canada.
Excellent communication, so helpful in choosing songs and on the day his playing set the mood and a lovely background to our service and then after. Thank you Raphael.
Simply amazing! Raphael is such a talented man. He made our wedding so special. I would recommend him to anyone getting married. Our day was perfect. Thank you Raphael.
Excellent service! Raphael was very professional, flexible and responsive to our requests. I would definitely recommend his high standard service.
Highly recommend Sunset Piano Notes — beautiful music throughout our ceremony, really good price and was everything we wanted and more! I booked vendors direct myself which was a little more of a risk, but honestly I shouldn’t have worried at all. Everything was as planned.
