Reviews of Tom Butterworth

We highly recommend Tom, we booked him for our Wedding Ceremony and Wedding Breakfast - Nov 2018. He was absolutely perfect and added so much value to our celebration, it just would not have been so amazing without him playing. From the moment we asked him for details he was quick to respond, nothing was too much trouble, he is so flexible and versatile, friendly and easy to talk too. Prior to the day I asked Tom for a few additional elements, ie a song he did not yet play/sing to walk down the aisle to, two songs that I wanted the crowd to sing a long too and a song ready in case my grandchildren wanted to sing to it - he covered all of it without hesitation. So many of our guests gave such great comments about Tom. He so looked the part too. On the day Tom was magic. Thank you so very much Tom, it would not have been quite the same without you, your guitar and your voice, Deb & Julian

What a wonderful musician - volume and repertoire pitched just right, an invaluable contribution to our event! Would not hesitate to recommend Tom every time.

Hi Tom
Thank you so much for your lovely playing/singing and ensuring that great music continued throughout the evening...I thoroughly enjoyed listening to you and everyone absolutely loved you.....Kirsti really enjoyed singing with you.
I look forward to having another party and getting you to play again!
Again....many many thanks!
Kind regards
Jo-Anne

Just wanted to say on behalf of Seema and myself a massive thank you for doing such a great job on our wedding day.
The acoustic pieces you played were all fab, not to mention the added bit of Carpenters related fun we all had. Hopefully you have stopped having nightmares about that song now!
Thanks again and all the best.

Just a quickie to say Tom was absolutely superb. Everyone said how amazing he was. He totally made the evening.
Tom is a sensational guitarist and vocalist and his participation of the evening was perfect so please pass on my personal gratitude to him and that of the bride and groom along with the wedding party he kept entertained,
Good job!

We just wanted to drop you a note to say thank you for playing at our wedding on Friday. It was lovely and really added a relaxed atmosphere. I'm sorry I didn't actually get to say hi but we really did appreciate it.

I am sorry for the delay in emailing you. I just wanted to say a big thank you for our wedding in June at Wiston House.
We have had so many comments from guests about your music. They loved it.
Unfortunately me and Stu didn't fully appreciate it as we were off doing photos etc but we did listen during the meal and it was fantastic.
Thank you again

Hi Tom,
we are back from honeymoon now and just wanted to say a big thank you for making our day so special. A lot of positive feedback from our guests and it was amazing to walk down the aisle to live music.
Many thanks

Hi Tom,
Just wanted to say thank you again for the music last week. We loved that you were so versatile and adapted according to the mood and location of the guests. All the music was great and we'd love to book you again in the future.

Dear Tom,
We would like to express our gratitude and thanks to you for your fantastic performance at both our wedding ceremony and drinks reception. Your music helped to dissolve any awkward silences between our guests, many of whom and never met. It was a wonderful backdrop that helped to create an enjoyable, relaxed ambiance.
We heard that there was adlibbing with some “classical” requests, i.e. teenage mutant ninja turtles, which went down a storm and helped make the day the fantastic occasion it was. I wish we could have been there to hear them!
Thank you so very much for making our very special day so much more special.
Very best wishes,
Andy & Kelly Richardson

Hi Tom,
Hope you are well. Just wanted to say a massive thank you for playing at our wedding. You were fantastic and we loved every minute of it. So many people complimented us on your music so thank you very much.

Firstly a very big thank you from us and all of our wedding guests. We had a wonderful day and we couldn't have wished for any more.
Everyone was very happy with the entertainment and we could not have done it without you, you were first class and we will be happy to recommend you to friends and family in the future.

Hi Tom,
Our apologies for such a delayed email of thanks regarding your performance at our wedding at Bartholomew Barn last September.
The music was beautiful and we had lovely feedback from the guests. We'll certainly be in touch if we can find another 'excuse' to call you! : )
Many thanks

Hi Tom,
A very belated but heartfelt thank you for playing at our wedding last July. Sorry we didn't get chance to chat on the day but you sounded brilliant and all of our guests enjoyed what you did. Thanks in particular for learning On Top Of The World, that made the ceremony even more special for us.
Best of luck for the future

Thanks again, a class act.

Just wanted to drop you a quick e-mail before we fly off on our honeymoon to say thank you so much for playing at our wedding on Friday.
Your playing/singing was just amazing and so perfect for our venue and the relaxed feel we wanted for our day. We couldn't have been more pleased and received so many comments on how great you were.
I'm just sorry we didn't get a chance to thank you or to say goodbye on the day!
Thanks again

A lot of our guests said it was a lovely touch to have you performing there.
Thank you once again.

Just a brief note to say thank you so much for enhancing a wonderful and memorable evening that my dear friends organized me on Saturday. Heaps of thanks Tom, I hope that I have occasion to listen to you again.

Thank you so much for bringing your talents and sharing them so generously with us and our guests, who all so thoroughly enjoyed your playing. You were attentive to our requests, flexible and just hit the spot to perfection. Auntie Maureen was positively eating out of your hand! You certainly put a smile on an old girl's face, bringing back treasured memories of her time in Spain.
Fantastic job!
Once again, so many thanks. It really was a beautiful day, start to finish.

I just wanted say how much I enjoyed playing with you on Saturday. I didn’t get a chance to come and see you while you were playing for the reception, but I could hear you...it was lovely. You have a real, gift and it shines through when you play!
It made the day so much more special for me to be able to take part in the ceremony for Simon and Claire; many, many thanks for letting me play with you and being so welcoming.
It was a fantastic day, it all went far better than we could have hoped. Shattered now, but very happy!
Best wishes,

I wanted to thank you for playing so beautifully for us on Friday.
So many people commented on what an incredible selection you played, tirelessly, and how beautifully you played.
I'm so touched you learned the adagio arrangement, it was his favourite piece of classical music so I thank you so much.
Kind regards,
Myranda

Tom is an excellent guitarist and singer with an amazingly wide range of music. On top of that he is a delight to have around.

Dear Tom,
Thank you for playing at our wedding yesterday! It was beautiful! I have a video of my bridesmaids/page boys and me and my dad walking down the aisle to you playing and it sounded perfect, it was exactly how I had hoped it would be!
Many thanks again, Ruth

Tom.
Many thanks for playing for us on Friday, you really added to the success of the evening and people very much enjoyed hearing you sing. I was so relieved that you managed to find us! Hope you have a good summer, I expect you have lots of events to play at.

Hi Tom, I was amazed at how many comments I got about having you there, appreciate that you carried on past the agreed time that you would play to the end and was blown away, just wanted to say a bit thank you and if anything comes up in the future I may call on your services once again.

Just a note to thank you very much for playing so beautifully at our wedding on 18 December. And also to thank you for driving all the way in the snow and ice. Sorry we didn't get to talk to you much but I loved the music you played and everybody commented on how great you were and how lovely the music was so thank you for choosing perfect songs.

Just wanted to thank Tom for his wonderful music at our wedding last week, a perfect professional in every way with a repertoire and style that really helped make our day special.

Catherine and I would like to thank the pair of you for making our wedding so perfect. Your voices and acoustic set was just so perfect for us. The whole day was so fantastic and you just added the most amazing sound to accompany our special day. It was just so memorable.
Once again I would like to thank you so much for the sets and our last dance that will live for us forever. You were both definitely born to perform.
Thank you,
Matthew and Catherine.

On our wedding, we were running about like headless chickens in a blind panic. Tom took this in his stride, helped us set up, stayed calm throughout, and then played beautiful music for our reception and ceremony. He went to great lengths to learn special songs for us, and was generally excellent. We can't recommend him highly enough!

Hi Tom,
Just wanted to thank you for a great performance for our wedding. The music was great and we got lots of compliments about you.

A huge thank you again for being the star of the show on Friday and for being very understanding as you were continually moved in and out !
Hope you have a great holiday and look forward to seeing you again next Summer.

Tom, you were absolutely amazing! I just wanted to say thank you for being so brilliant in helping us set up, moving here there and everywhere, and playing beautiful renditions of our songs. You really made our ceremony and drinks reception very special, and everyone has been telling me how great you were and asking where we found you!

I just wanted to thank you very much for entertaining our guests on Saturday at Hayley & Billy's wedding,I'm sorry I didn't get a chance on the day. Everyone commented on how enjoyable your performance was, it really added to the occasion.
