Edward Dye played the organ for our daughter and son-in-law's Wedding at a small Church, Christ Church, Shooter's Hill, and then played the grand piano for the Wedding Reception, at a historic building, Charlton House.
He prepared carefully, including accompanying a solo singer, and his music was a great asset for the occasion. Juliet and Chris Johnson and family
We had the pleasure of arranging the wedding music for our special day with Edward. He listened to our ideas and through his experience helped us to select the ideal pieces to represent our vision. We were extremely happy with the final arrangement and because of his versatility we had a wonderful and joyous day. Adrian and Jennifer
