"James was an absolutely amazing addition to our wedding reception. He created an amazing atmosphere and added such a vibe to the whole afternoon, all of our guests were loving it. We would recommend James in a heartbeat, he was so friendly, talented and charismatic on the day! He even played for us as we walked into our wedding breakfast which was so much fun! Thank you so much James xx"

"We were at your concert in Ilkley tonight and we were amazed at your vitality and musicianship. You gave the stage over to enthusiastic dancers which was a wonderful end to a superb evening we were lucky to be in the second row to your left. I was taken back to my youth and loved the evening. We do hope you will make a return visit to Ilkley. Our very best wishes Jacky and Colin Banyard"

"We contacted Sue at short notice to our daughter wedding as they were badly let down by the original saxaphone player booked.From the moment I spoke to Sue I was so hopeful she would be available on the wedding day, she did have plans but moved them to accommodate us which I thought highly of as she knew the wedding couple wanted a saxaphone player and after their upset she said she would be pleased to play. What an amazing player she is, everyone at the wedding said how brilliant she was and lots of people were on the dance floor all evening. If you want a Saxaphone player then you will not find any better than Sue so don't hesitate in booking her you will not regret it!! Thank you so much Sue for making our daughter and son-in-law wedding perfect, we wish you well for the coming months ahead and hope you have many bookings in the future, have fun and play like you did for the wedding you completely nailed it! X"

Hi Julie, thank you for that lovely review. It was a pleasure to entertain your guests and only glad I could help out…I hate to hear of a disappointed bride! Your daughter and son-in-law were a great couple to work with, and I wish them all the best. Regards, Sue

"From the first contact with Vera Voce she was very professional, friendly and listened to what we required. She was able to provide exactly what we wanted in terms of song choice. She made all the arrangements with the church organist, and at a time that was quite stressful we did not need to worry about the music for my father's funeral. She arrived promptly on the day, was very discreet in setting up her equipment and in speaking with the organist and church warden. She has an exceptional voice and sung so beautifully. So many people afterwards commented on her singing. Our family was very pleased and would like to thank her again for adding such an important element to our father's funeral. We highly recommend her in every respect. Thank you Vera Voce, best wishes from Pauline and the Trim family. "

"Zöe played the harp at our wedding. She played beautifully the brides choice of music. It was a surprise for the groom, but a very welcome one! Her prelude music was wonderfully calming and set the tone for the rest of the ceremony and the rest of the day. The bride enjoyed listening to the music before she came in... maybe a little too much! Having harp music made the service special; it touched lots of our guests and many commented on it afterwards. Our mothers especially enjoyed it. It is such an elegant instrument and very lovely music. In that way, she helped us make the service what we hoped it would be. We cannot recommend her highly enough!"

"You were absolutely fantastic on our wedding day and we have received so many compliments – in fact my colleagues were still talking about it today after we heard “Make you feel my love” on the radio. That piece of music you played as my bridesmaids and I walked down the aisle brought me tears and also to many of our guests – it was a very special start to what was a very special day. To have you play at our wedding filled the air with the sound of my favourite musical instrument and we loved what you played in the garden and the arrangements you put together for the ceremony. Thank you ever so much for being part of the beautiful day. Chloë Burston MRICS Associate Director Burston Cook"

"Traveling from Malibu to Scotland for the ultimate destination wedding was nothing short of spectacular due to the one and only Spud The Piper! Spud was the heart beat of our incredible wedding day -joyous, and absolutely full of life! Spud was a true hit with all 37 of our guests (they still talk about how much they love him); he is full of smiles, jokes, and laughter, in which brings a sense of warmth to any occasion. Spuds piping is so beautiful to the ear, we cannot wait to come back every three years to renew our vowels. First one in 2020 -I’ll hire Spud every time that we are in Scotland! Cannot thank you enough for making our day so unbelievably magical -Truly an asset to any event! xxx"

"What a party starter! Our guest still haven't stopped talking about how brilliant this band was. With a wide range of songs played from the more traditional to chart hits they got everyone moving and in a great mood for the rest of the evening. Gary was a pleasure to work with from start to finish - very efficient and reliable. I'd highly recommend this band for your event. "
