Reviews of Alan (Classical Guitarist)

Alan played for us at our wedding at Eastwell Manor a couple of weeks ago. It was everything we hoped for. Our celebration was a small intimate event, and after the wedding breakfast - we just wanted some relaxed chill guitar music in our private bar to set the scene before we cut the cake.

Alan is a very gifted guitarist who brought such a special vibe to the space. Being able to choose from his extensive set list, meant that every tune meant something. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him, and would have him again in a heartbeat. Thank you for adding the extra something to our day.

Alan played at our corporate event at Pennyhill Park where he matched the vibe entirely. His choice of music was spot on and really added a wonderful ambience to the evening. Alan was a great addition to our event, creating the perfect background entertainment for our guests and I couldn’t recommend him enough to anyone looking for an exceptional guitarist at their event. ’

Thank you!

Dear Alan,

We just wanted to say a huge thank you for being part of Kate and Matt’s wedding day.

Your guitar playing was absolutely wonderful and added such a beautiful and special atmosphere to the day. The music was perfect for the occasion and really helped create the relaxed, warm and happy feeling we had hoped for.

We had so many lovely comments from our guests about your playing, and it was clear how much everyone enjoyed listening to you. You helped make those moments of the day even more memorable, and we’re so grateful that you were there to share them with us.

Thank you for all your hard work, for being so lovely to deal with, and for helping make Kate and Matt’s wedding day so incredibly special.

With our very best wishes and heartfelt thanks,
Beverley & Kate

We cannot thank Alan enough. From the minute we enquired, his communication was amazing and he was super patient as I was very indecisive!

He was open to ideas, and even learnt our aisle song which honestly meant a lot to us! Music is so important to me and especially the wedding it had to be special.

His flamenco is incredible, very talented but clearly works very hard and has a passion for the craft. My family from Spain came over and even they, asked me where I found him thinking he was Spanish! All of them were mesmerised by him and his really cool guitar!

Thank you Alan, you made our vision come to life and made it so special!

Alan played at our wedding at Pembroke Lodge and was absolutely incredible from start to finish. During our drinks reception he created such a lovely atmosphere with chilled acoustic songs, and then brought a really fun energy to our cocktail hour with more upbeat music that everyone loved.

Alan was also super responsive throughout the planning process and knew the venue really well, which made everything feel seamless and stress-free on the day. So many of our guests commented on how brilliant he was, we’re so glad we booked him!

We were absolutely delighted with Alan at our Christmas party. His music created the perfect atmosphere, and everyone commented on how much they loved both his playing and his choice of songs. Alan is incredibly talented and he added something really special to the evening. Thank you for helping make our celebration so memorable!

Wishing you a wonderful Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Kindest regards
Lara

Alan was incredible - both in the lead up and the day itself. He recorded our aisle song for us and shared it ahead of time and even added a new song to his repertoire for us. He was also incredible on the day, and looped part of the song when we had a slight mishap with a relative that meant the precessions were delayed! 10/10 would recommend.

Hi Alan,

I just wanted to say a massive thank you for your music last Sunday at our wedding Lapstone barn. Your music was absolutely superb and we both loved it.
So grateful 🙏 and appreciative of you being part of our special day.

Regards Marc & Claire

Alan was the perfect addition to our day at Oakley Hall. When we first heard him play at the wedding fair, we knew he would create the atmosphere that we were looking for - and he really did! During the reception Alan's music was elegant and heartfelt, then during the drinks reception he added a relaxed yet sophisticated touch, with guests commenting how much they enjoyed it throughout. He was a joy to work with and made our day even more special. We would highly recommend Alan to anyones wedding day!'

Thanks again.

Hi Alan, just wanted to drop you a quick line to say a huge thanks for playing at our wedding at The Ravenswood. It was amazing that you learnt a new song for us, so it could be played during the signing of the register. Having you play during the wedding breakfast made it so much better than just having an album playing music in the background

We had so many comments of how great you were and how it was a really nice addition to have you play throughout our day

All in all, you really helped make our day the most special day we could have imagined

Thanks so much again
Mr & Mrs Philpott

After seeing Alan perform at our friends’ wedding we knew we needed to book him for our wedding at Buxted Park Hotel. Alan played throughout our welcome drinks and wedding breakfast, and he was amazing! Alan was really easy to communicate with and quick to respond to any queries we had leading up to our big day. All of our guests commented on how great Alan was and we would definitely recommend him to any couple looking for a guitarist for their wedding day.

Many thanks
Sam and Charlotte

Alan was fantastic. We had the pleasure of having him play during our wedding breakfast, and he was absolutely fantastic. His acoustic covers of modern pop songs created the perfect classy ambience for the meal. He was friendly, polite, and incredibly easy to work with from start to finish. We wholeheartedly recommend him for any event.

Alan was just amazing! He played exceptionally well during our wedding ceremony and left all the guests mesmerized!
It was very easy to communicate with him during the preparations for the wedding. We couldn’t have asked for a better guitarist! I highly recommend him!

We just wanted to thank you again for being so amazing last night!
We had so much praise from our guests about you and you really did make it so special!

We'd wholeheartedly recommend Alan Oliver for wedding music. Alan played a range of songs on guitar during our wedding ceremony which were really beautiful. Alan is a very talented musician and even learnt Morricone's Love Theme for our wedding. His music really added something special to the day.

Thank you Alan for your amazing playing at our wedding! Our guests really enjoyed your music! Right from the start you have been very helpful and responsive which was great. You played all of our favourite tunes and set a really pleasant atmosphere for our wedding. You worked with us and knew exactly where to go and when, which was a huge help. We were able to thoroughly enjoy our wedding as a result. Thank you so much! We'd certainly recommend you to anyone who is looking for a guitarist in future.

Alan was recommended by our venue and with good reason as it turned out. He was there early and ready to go when we arrived and transitioned seamlessly to different rooms at different times of the day. He played both beautifully and seemingly tirelessly and many of our guests commented on how much they enjoyed the accompaniment, as did we. He was more than willing to learn new songs which we appreciated.

We are incredibly glad he was part of our day and he made it that much more special. We would recommend his services without hesitation.

We wanted to thank you so much for playing for our ceremony and drinks reception. You helped to create the perfect atmosphere on the day and we had so many guests commenting on how brilliant you were.

You went above and beyond for us by learning specific songs for our special day on our request. Nothing was too much for you and you were so accommodating and flexible.

It was very easy to communicate with you in the lead up to the wedding and we really appreciate that you worked with us when we had to postpone the wedding due to Covid.

We were so excited to find Alan available for our date. He was actually the first thing we booked after the venue. We had heard him playing at a wedding fair and there was no doubt we wanted him part of the day. Alan played me down the aisle and it was so lovely to have something that really meant something to us. Throughout the day the guests mentioned how beautiful the music was and we even caught a few singing as he played. I could listen to him playing all day. The music made our day even more special.

Alan was so helpful in the build up to our wedding and really quick to answer any questions. I honestly can't recommend him enough.

We were lucky enough to have great weather on our Wedding day which enabled Alan to set up outside and play. He was brilliant and played through a range of songs we were able to choose from ahead of our big day. Really great guitarist and a perfect accompaniment to reception drinks - really recommended!

We have now returned from our honeymoon and wanted to thank you so much for providing us with such excellent music at our wedding. You created the most perfect atmosphere during our ceremony and were everything we could have hoped for. Having you play in the afternoon during the canapes and drinks was also amazing, we recognized every song and have had many compliments passed to us from our guests for you. We really liked how you kept in touch and gave recommendations right up until the wedding so we knew what to expect with no stress at all. We would recommend you in a heartbeat to anyone looking for a musician for their special day! Thank you again!

Thanks so much for playing at our wedding, you were great! The guests said how fantastic you were - they all enjoyed singing along!
We’re so glad we booked you for our big day. The music was just what we needed for our drinks reception and wedding breakfast. Would highly recommend you. Thanks again.

Thank you so much for playing at our wedding. You added so much to the day. All the guests said what a lovely touch it was to have you playing. You set a beautiful, calming tone that put everyone at ease. Thank you so much. You did a brilliant job.

Thank you for your performance at our Wedding on Monday, your talent shined and you have a great way of blending into the surroundings and creating a wonderfully pleasant atmosphere. We had several comments from our guests on how excellent you played and what a talent you have, having left the song selections to you, we were not disappointed with what or how you delivered in any way.
Outstanding, and we would highly recommend you!
Great job.

Alan is an outstanding guitarist, so much so that we have now booked him twice. Each time he has surprised and delighted our guests and is certainly the ‘talk of the town’ each time. His playing is professional and familiar and we loved being able to choose our favorite songs from his extensive repertoire. Everyone couldn’t help but dance or sing along to his playing and quite honestly he is the perfect wedding entertainment. We are already thinking of what we can book him for next! Thank you again Alan for bringing the fun in such a classy way!

Alan played at my wedding at The Granary at Fawsley in October.
I found his videos on Facebook and decided to message him to book and I’m extremely glad I did. Within a week of booking, Alan had learned the song we had requested and sent us the audio file. We had to postpone the original date due to covid but that was no issue and Alan extremely accommodating. We even extended the hours we wanted him for within 2 weeks' notice of the big day and he was fine with that too
On the day Alan entertained our guests on arrival and during the breakfast with a vast array of songs that were known to everyone. My guests were really impressed and made multiple comments about how good he was. He’s extremely skilled at what he does and we are grateful that he could make our day even more special.
Thank you.

Alan recently played at our wedding, this was a surprise for our guests and everyone commented on how good he was. Alan was professional he kept in regular contact and even sent us a preview of the song that myself and my bridal party walked down the aisle to. I would be sure to book Alan again for any future events.
Thank you, Alan, you helped make our day truly magical.

We hired Alan to play at our wedding reception.
Throughout the whole process leading up to the wedding, he was extremely responsive and engaging, as well as accommodating, as he even moved things around to be able to perform on our day.
He provided us with a long list of songs in different genres that he could play to help us choose the songs we wanted.
On the day, we had a lot of positive feedback from our guests regarding how well he performed.
His performance went a long way to help create an amazing atmosphere during the reception as well as the wedding breakfast.
We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Alan to anyone that wishes to engage in his services.
Thank you Alan for performing on our special day!

Thank you for being a total professional from start to finish. The communication was responsive and clear, and the selection of available music wide-ranging. It was really special that you were able to learn a piece of music that we requested, which added a fantastic touch to the day and you were so good about doing that for us. The standard of performance was extremely high, and the technical ability of the show was truly excellent. A 5-star professional and performer, and superb value for money. Thanks.

We would like to say a HUGE thank you to Alan for playing at our wedding in August 2021. We booked with him back in 2019 for our 2020 wedding. With the pandemic we had to push our wedding to 2021, Alan forever the professional had no problems with moving to our new date which we really appreciated.

Alan even took time to arrive early to rehearse with my niece who was singing at our wedding with Alan accompanying her. All of our guests were incredibly complimentary of Alan’s talent. We were grateful for the range of songs covered as there was something in there for everyone.

We would not hesitate to recommend Alan for any event, he was a fantastic addition to our wedding and was a pleasure to deal with throughout.

Hi Alan,

I just wanted to say thank you so much for playing at our wedding. Walking down the isle, while you were playing our favourite song was beautiful and made the day so special. During reception drinks, we had so many compliments on how talented you were and what a lovely addition to our day it was. Your communication throughout the whole process was outstanding and we thoroughly enjoyed working with you. Your song selection is amazing and very hard to chose from as there are so many great songs that you play! I would highly recommend you for the future.

All the best

Hi Alan

We just wanted to say a huge thank you again for playing at our wedding on Saturday! You were honestly incredible. Every single guest and supplier we hired came up to us at some point in the day to tell us how amazing you were playing. You are incredibly talented and made the atmosphere so romantic.

Our first dance song that you played for us will stick with us forever and we are so grateful that you were able to pull another lovely song out for us on the spot so we could do a dance with our mother's.

You were better than any DJ we could have hired and we wouldn't hesitate to recommend you.

Thanks again

Hi Alan,

Just wanted to say thank you so much for playing at our wedding, it was such a lovely touch.

Also thank you so so much for being so accommodating throughout the pandemic with having to postpone from last year, really appreciate it.

Lastly, thanks ever so much for learning my favourite song to play as we were walking back down the aisle, was amazing! You are so very talented.

Lots of people said how amazing you were.

Thanks for being a part of our big day. You really made the ceremony music perfect for us.

Kind Regards,

Charlotte

We booked Alan for our recent Wedding at the Lensbury Hotel. We were not disappointed. From the ease of choosing our favourite songs to the day itself , the process was so easy.

Alan was ultimate professional;. We couldn’t have been happier. His playing and musical style suited our Wedding down to the ground. All our guest loved every minute and it really set the scene for our beautiful day.

I can’t recommend or thank Alan enough !!!

We booked Alan for our wedding. From the start he has been amazing. He went above and beyond in many ways, one of which was learning a song for our ceremony. Alan’s music was spectacular and all of the guests complimented his beautiful musical arrangements. I could not possibly recommend Alan highly enough. It was a pleasure to have him play at our wedding.

Hi Alan! Massive thank you for performing at our ceremony and drinks reception. From the start, Alan has been amazing and he’s been super patient and flexible as we had to postpone so many times. All of our guests complimented on how good he was. We highly recommend his services.

Alan was a brilliant addition to our wedding. He played guitar at our ceremony and reception. He was so helpful from the very beginning, learning a new song for us and was always quick to get back to us. We had so many guests comment on how well he performed and we loved the music choices too.

Alan played at our wedding in September this year and was absolutely incredible. We had many guests complimenting the tunes he played, there was such a great selection and variety that were all perfect for our big day. Alan was also vary flexible with any changes we made to timings and songs for the day and we found him very attentive and fast to reply when communicating, which is very reassuring when planning such a large and important event. We highly recommend booking Alan for your event if you are looking for a highly professional and highly skilled guitarist with a huge range of songs to play. Alan, you were a huge part of making our day so special! Thank you!

Very easy process to find an artist to play at our wedding. Alan was great at keeping in contact, and played just what we wanted. Guests commented about the great atmosphere that the music created. Thank you.

I just wanted to send a email to say thank you so much for providing us with Alan for playing guitar for our wedding day!
He was truly amazing and so many of our guests commented on how well he played! For us as Bride and Groom it was lovely to here him play whilst having our photos taken! We thoroughly enjoyed his variety of songs and I could not recommend him enough!! Thank you so much Roxy & Antony

Alan was excellent, very punctual and played beautifully, I wish we had booked him for longer

Alan was an amazing addition to our day. He played a great range of songs incredibly well and it was the perfect backing to the reception and wedding breakfast. I loved hearing some of my favourite acoustic songs as I looked out over the room filled with my nearest and dearest. Alan was amazing from the start - he gave us all the information we needed, responding to queries immediately, and was even willing to play a few more of our own requests. Everyone has commented on how good he was. He was the least stressful component to planning a wedding!

Great service and lots of people commented on how great Alan was.

Alan was exceptional, arrived on time, set up and delivered wonderful guitar music, it set the tone for our wedding. We had Spanish guitar for the service and modern tunes in the run up and for the drinks reception. Our guests commented on how good the music was and how much they enjoyed it. We would have no hesitation in booking Alan for further events and would thoroughly recommend him.

Thank you very much for last Sunday.
We had a fantastic day, all of the arrangements went like clockwork and the weather was very kind to us.
This was very much enhanced by your perfect performance on the day. Our guests went out of their way to tell us how they appreciated your guitar playing. Thank you once again it made our day very special.

Alan was so lovely and friendly, on time and absolutely unassuming and very a professional.
He has such an amazing talent and all the guests we so impressed by him. The music was perfect for the day in the garden, just the right variety and volume.
Alan, thank you and Sarah thank you for your assistance, your site was so easy to use and everyone for great to deal with,

He was friendly, polite and just blended in seamlessly to what was going on, adding that extra sparkle for us.

Thanks for a smooth and stress free organisation. Everything was perfect and Alan was excellent!

Thank you Alan,
You are a life safer to be able to one come out your way and support our Captains Charity day last minute, secondly everyone commented on how amazing it was to have around. We will definitely be looking to hirer you again! Honestly thank you soo much.

Everything went well and I would like to give a testimonial for Alan. He was very popular!

Alan gave just the kind of unintrusive but interesting and entertaining background music that we wanted for our wedding day. An excellent selection of contemporary and classical songs was provided before the day (all wedding related in some way!) and we had no problem choosing 2 hours worth of material, including special songs for the brides entrance and signing of the register.

Alan is an exceptional classical guitarist, and proved very easy to work with before the ceremony - and many positive comments were received from guests during and after ceremony - I'd highly recommend him.

We enjoyed having Alan to play at our lunchtime event. He turned up promptly and played as requested. Several of our guests spent some time listening to and enjoying his performance, though we were rather preoccupied in engaging with our guests. Alan joined the lunch and chatted easily with his table companions. It was a pleasure to have him at our event.

Just wanted to say how great Alan was on our big day, he even learnt a new piece especially for me to walk down the aisle to. His advice regarding our choices was most helpful, he was very prompt in replying to my requests or queries I had.
I would certainly use him again and have no hesitation in recommending him.

Alan was consummate professional throughout. Arrived early, wonderfully courteous and respectful of the occasion. He chose great songs and played flawlessly throughout. Thank you, it really helped to make a fantastic day!

I just wanted to send through a few words for Alan who we booked for our wedding on 6th August.

I cannot thank Alan enough for his services at our wedding!
The moment I heard Alan play at Hartsfield Manor Wedding Fayre, I knew I had to have him provide our music! My friends who came with me were in just as much awe as me and the hairs on my arms stood up!
I wanted a particular piece of music and Alan went out of his way to learn it for me.

Alan communicated really well with me before the ceremony and on the day He arrived promptly and was very smart in his appearance.
His music contributed amazing to our special day and our wedding guests are still giving great feedback to me now.

Thank you so much Alan for everything you did and I cannot recommend Alan enough for your day.

Alan was quick to respond and accommodate our music queries and choices. He sent many sample tracks to us. He was well presented on the day and very well received by all our guests.

Alan is a very talented guitarist and a complete professional. All of our guests thoroughly enjoyed his music and the variety that he had to offer throughout the reception drinks.
I also appreciated him taking the time to learn songs that were not on his set list as this showed commitment and dedication to his customers.
I would highly recommend him to any of my family and friends.
Thank you for providing such wonderful entertainment.

Alan was excellent, from my initial contact with him through to his performance on the day! He was reliable, responsive and played really well. We were particularly impressed that Alan learnt a new song for our wedding ceremony, it made our day!! So many people commented on how good he was, even when all the kids were running around him in the courtyard he kept his composure! Thanks again, Alan.

We recently hired Alan for our daughter's wedding. Alan was extremely accommodating, emailing us beforehand to ensure that he had our requirements exactly correct and asking us for any particular requests. He learned a piece of music - 'The Portuguese Love Theme' especially for the occasion (as requested by the bride). On the day the music was excellent and received many compliments by the guests. Alan was punctual and highly professional.

Thank you for helping to make the day special.

Thank you seems a little inadequate for the stunning music (With Sarah-Jane Dale - Singer ) you all provided at Hartsfield for us on August 21st!

Thousand years sounded absolutely beautiful! And from them on everything was perfect. THANK YOU!

The service I received was perfect - I will definately recommend to friends.
Our musician Alan was very professional and played beautifully throughout our wedding breakfast.
with many thanks

I just wanted to thank you very much for the wonderful music you played on Saturday. Pachelbel’s Canon was perfect & thank you for learning the Queen of Sheba; that was also beautifully played. You truly added to Harriet & John’s big day.

Please make sure that Alan knows we really enjoyed his playing, his attitude and general manner. Everybody here has commented on his playing as he was enjoyed by everybody.

Many thanks for the music yesterday. Was absolutely what we wanted and added to the whole atmosphere beautifully. We had so many compliments about the music and that was all down to you.

Thanks Alan for performing at our Cocktail party, you provided a perfect atmosphere and would happily use you again. Simply beautiful music!

Alan helped create a beautiful atmosphere for our wedding dinner and we would definitely recommend and use him again.

Alan did a great job musically and a number of our guests spontaneously spoke well about his playing.
