My husband and I came from the states for our wedding in Sligo and Sean made it really easy to organize and plan the music from afar. He was responsive and offered helpful feedback. His piano playing during the ceremony was beautiful!

Sean was so lovely to work with. We had him play for our wedding ceremony. I had been obsessed with this mash up of Ed Sheeran?s Perfect I found on YouTube and Sean well.. he played it perfect ;). He was so accommodating to the song request I wanted to walk down the aisle too. And he is just a super nice guy as well. You won?t be disappointed with Sean. Super talented pianist!

Sean played at our outdoor wedding ceremony in Connemara. He met with us beforehand to help us with song selection and had no issues playing outside. He was absolutely fantastic on the day, during the ceremony and after. He also took requests and played up to the dinner. We had many friends comment on how good he was and we would totally recommend Sean for any event and especially your wedding.

Se?n was set the task of providing piano music during the meal at our wedding. Although we knew what we wanted..in a broad sense...we were unsure of the finer details (music choices)..and so relied on Se?n?s knowledge &experience in this regard. We found Se?n to be extremely helpful & understanding. The choices that he enabled is to make, along with those he made on our behalf...were all that we wished for. Se?nwas prompt,, professional & personable. We were very pleased with the contribution he made to our special day. The request cards which he provided on all of the tables were a novel way, to encourage guests to become involved in the proceedings. Thank you once again Se?n for being part of our day. Best of luck to you in the future.

Sean played for our wedding ceremony and was nothing short of fabulous. From start to finish he worked with our singer who was already arranged, learned my entrance song from just a YouTube link to a version I liked. It was so completely stress free and easy to work with him, he needed no direction about what we were trying to achieve, he just 'got it' . Particularly with a very unique entrance tune (Star Wars) we were so lucky to find Sean. X

Hi Sean!

I hope you are well and having a lovely summer so far. Sorry I am only getting back to you now!

You were absolutely fantastic on the day, you really made the ceremony for us and we can't thank you enough!! I just left a review on your Facebook page.

Again, thanks for everything and being so easygoing and flexible! You would be our first pick again if we could do it over and as I said in the review we really wish we had kept you on for the drinks reception! :-)

Kindest regards,

Jennifer + Florian.

Hi Sean,

I am so so sorry only getting back to you now we were away on honeymoon since the beginning of July. We are home a few weeks but I Kept putting off emailing you because I wasn't sure how I could put into words how happy we were with our wedding day. We had the most amazing day, the music for the ceremony was absolutely amazing!! It was exactly what we wanted and just set the mood for the day. We are obsessed!!! keep watching the dvd???? We also have the Spotify playlist which is not quite as good as you but reminds us of how good it was.

You were a big hit with all the guests and I've had a few calls and texts wondering who you were again ???? A lot of our friends had never heard a piano played like that in the church before, one of Laurence's friends Shane said 'it was a game changer' he isn't engaged yet but be expecting a call ???????? My friend Elaine tried to book you for September actually but I think you were already booked unfortunately.
My mum and dad would be traditional enough but they thought you were so talented and the music was an amazing addition to the ceremony, they were very impressed!!

I hope you are having a lovely summer and keeping nice and busy.

I'll put up a review today once I figure out what to say????

Thanks you soooo much for making our wedding day so amazing . And you were so easy to work with, nothing was a bother , even playing along with a nervous 8 year old.

Lots of love

A heartfelt thank you for playing the music during our wedding meal on Saturday, 29th October 2016.
We are so glad we asked you to play the piano during the meal, it added a lot to the atmosphere. The music you played was fabulous and you managed to get our requests in too!!
One of my favorite moments of the day was when Shane and I went into the reception room early in the evening to see the cake and we had a bit of a spontaneous dance which you made really special.
There were lots of family and friends asking about you who were quite impressed!
The music played a huge role in our day so thank you very very much for agreeing to play at our wedding. You did a fabulous job, and you were always very pleasant to deal with. Looking forward to hearing you play again sometime soon.
Response from Sean Rowland Pianist
HI Niamh & Shane.....thank you so much for your review, I'm more than delighted with it and very grateful for you allowing me to be part of your big day. Yes that spontaneous dance was one to remember....you had some of the hotel staff in tears! Wishing you the best in the future and please do pop over if you see me playing around my regular haunts! Thanks again!, Sean

Sean was a fabulous musician and so professional he provided the most magical music for our church ceremony and reception drinks in the Clayton hotel in Galway. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him as he does not disappoint. I have already recommended him to everyone one who attended our wedding that inquired about him. He was such a pleasure to deal with.

We were lucky for our wedding that we had a close friend Sarah who is a fab singer so we looked to get someone to accompany her and came across Sean. I really can't praise him highly enough the effort he went to coming to our house to run through song choices and rehearse with Sarah. We were very indecisive on some song choices but Sean was extremely patient and gave his input on how different pieces would work. He also learnt the song I walked down the aisle to and created a beautiful doo-wop rendition of Hanson MmmBop (one of my favorite songs) for us to leave the church too. On the day of the wedding he arrived to the church early to setup and have a final rehearsal with Sarah. The both did brilliant and everyone comment on how great they were. Sean also played the reception at the hotel and really added to the atmosphere. Thanks for everything Sean, we'd recommend you to anyone.

Sean and Sara were simply amazing, We had a couple of "non traditional" wedding songs that Sean had absolutely no bother doing for us. They were so friendly and so professional. No request was too big or too small, and they created the absolutley perfect atmosphere.
I would 100% recommend musicmaster for any event not just weddings.
Response from Sean Rowland Pianist
Ah thanks Tina......we enjoyed your ceremony so much and your cool song selections :-) I now often play that version of "I want to Hold Your Hand" in my regular sets.....thanks for having us, delighted to be part of your big day and you looked amazing. Paddy didn't scrub up too bad either :-)

We had to get a pianist at fairly short notice when our previous guy let us down. This was lucky for us, because Sean was absolutely excellent. He was very helpful and reasonably priced. He took the time to sit down a few weeks beforehand and discuss what kind of music we wanted. He was happy to work with one of our bridesmaids who sang a few songs at the ceremony, and it worked out very well. The music was excellent and we got lots of people commenting on it. He also played at the hotel reception, it really added to the atmosphere there.

Overall, we would highly recommend Sean to anybody looking for music for their venue and/or reception.

I seriously cannot recommend Sean enough. Aside from being a pure gentleman and a pleasure to deal with, his music is simply fantastic and he really added something special to our big day.

As a bride from abroad I feel this added a little more stress on the proceedings but Sean really took us under his wing in terms of helping us choose our music for the day and pointing us in the right direction and he even went as far as to learn new songs/hymns that had special meaning to us. As a result I felt the music that accompanied our service was very ' us ' and unique and everyone I spoke to on the day had something lovely to say about it.

Do yourselves a favour and book Sean for your big day. I had no idea what a massive part the music would play at our wedding and upon reflection I am so glad that we paid as much attention to it as we did. The quality of Sean's work is outstanding and I would hire him time and again in the future.
Response from Sean Rowland Pianist
HI Michelle.....wow, thank you so much for your kind words!! I am very grateful and delighted of course that I could help in such a way! I will certainly remember ye and I wish you all of the very best in your life together, and all the happiness that brings! thanks Sean

We really wanted to set the mood for our civil ceremony and the music was so important to get right. From romantic for the entrance to uplifting and fun for our exit, Sean really helped us get the right mix and blend. We got so many compliments on the music. He was wonderful to work with from the get go, so relaxed and positive. For some music requests that were a little unconventional he had no problem getting to know these better and all the music was seamless despite the bride being just a tad late. Thanks to Se?n for helping make our day so memorable. All his reviews are 5 stars and this is well deserved. Mairead & Conor

We would like to thank Sean for all his help with organising the music for our wedding in Galway last year. We had a small reception and were looking for some acoustic music to set the mood, Sean listened to our playlist suggestions and was able to recommend a local musician who was more than suitable. Going on his recommendation we got exactly what we wanted and the music really added to our evening.

Not only is Sean a great musician in his own right but he offers a fantastic service to people looking for the right music for their big day.

We would highly recommend musicmaster.ie, thanks Sean!

We had the pleasure of having Sean playing at our wedding drinks reception at The Clayton Hotel in September. A piano player is a wonderful choice for a wedding as it adds a little something special and is always popular with guests.
From the first day we met Sean he was professional and very open to any songs we suggested, including Father Ted's 'My Lovely Horse' which went down a treat with our guests!
Sean has an extensive playlist of songs, both old and more modern, and we were delighted with the songs he did for us on the day, great selection of upbeat and slow tunes.
We would definitely recommend Sean for weddings, family functions, parties etc.
