"The musician was really talented however did not play the music requested so killed the entire vibe of the party. It was a party and we requested upbeat music alongside DJ but she used her own speaker and mellowed tunes... everyone obviously left the dance floor at this point and had to remind her of the request. She struggled with our requirements despite us being very specific on booking and even noted specific times on contract booking, did not fulfil contract and waste of £550"

Dear Hayley Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback regarding your recent event. I take all reviews seriously, as they help me improve my services, and I appreciate the opportunity to address some inaccuracies in your comments. The full fee you paid was £459, I understand that you felt the music selection did not align with the upbeat atmosphere you envisioned. However, I want to clarify that I arrived well-prepared with a curated playlist that included the specific tracks you requested, such as "Rebel Music" and "Ibiza Classics." Additionally, during our initial conversation, I offered to incorporate lively pop songs like "Havana," "Rather Be," and "Cheerleader" to enhance the party vibe. I left out your request to play Andrew Lloyd Webber/Starlight Express as I felt it didn’t align with the style of your event. Regarding the DJ sound levels, these were extremely loud throughout. I strive to maintain an enjoyable volume throughout my performances. While you noted that the dance floor, it was empty upon my arrival and throughout the ibiza classics with DJ last 30 minute set. I appreciated the positive feedback from many guests which indicates we’re enjoying my performances. As the event progressed, I was attentive to your requests, including the unexpected addition of a dhol drummer for the second set. I performed the "Morni" provided the Bollywood track to the DJ and performed alongside the DJ and which successfully energised the dance floor. I also addressed the issue with my electric violin volume being turned down by DJ immediately after he received feedback from guest complaining he couldn’t hear it! The booking was to perform 3x 30 minute sets I stayed on the dance floor except two 15 minute breaks and performed throughout the 2 hour duration. I made repeated requests to the DJ to play "Ibiza Classics," in line with your preferences, and I took swift action to address all requests throughout the night. The DJ consistently played track’s that were impossible for a violinist to play over such as Milkshake by Kelis. My goal is always to create memorable experiences for my clients, and I have consistently received positive feedback for over 20 years !

"Leanna made our wedding day so special! She was so helpful with song choice and was willing to play some that she didn’t have on her list. Even played songs that weren’t on the playlist on request during the wedding. I would highly recommend Leanna, she is very talented and created such an amazing atmosphere."

"Antony played for our 50 th Wedding Anniversary at Wrightington Hotel and Country Club, this was fabulous, Antony created a wonderful atmosphere with some of my favorite Jazz standards, Younger members’ of the family enjoyed the more contemporary selections. Can’t thank him enough."

"Aspen Skies performed for us in our garden on a gorgeous Saturday afternoon. Jayne's lovely voice soared above the murmur of the guests, complemented by the clever guitar accompaniment. Many friends and family complimented us on our choice. We let them choose their own set, but they were open to our suggestions and genuinely anxious to please. We loved having them perform for us and recommend them highly. It made a great day something special."

"Phil the sax was awesome, so very professional from the first contact. His music was just what I wanted, from chill out to Ibiza dance. Could not recommend Phil enough. "

"The restaurant is very spacious but with a romantic feel with the help of a fantastic guitar player. I normally prefer piano playing at restaurants, this was till I heard this one. It was amazing."

"We had luch sing at our wedding in January, he was fantastic! Our guests loved him and he sang beautifully, he sang a range of songs and suited the atmosphere incredibly Dealing with him was really simple and listened to some of his sample music on here and I knew straight away he was what I was looking for. He travelled far to sing for an hour but it was worth finding him and having him to welcome our guests into the reception If your looking for acoustic, classy and something different then luch is definitely the guy to book Sam and pierre "

"Matt delighted our wedding guests with his truly adaptable style; classic hymns during the service itself, iconic film soundtrack for the procession out of church - and a very helpful addition to any groom's speech; ten 1980s TV soundtracks seamlessly woven into improvisation whilst we awaited the arrival of the (very lovely) bride! I wouldn't hesitate to recommend."
