"We spent a wonderful afternoon listening to these two highly skilled musicians - Corinne on wind and Haruko on piano. Their passion for music was so obvious and Corinne's commentary on the different pieces, and the five different instruments that she played, just added to the overall pleasure. Our audience demonstrated their appreciation with enthusiastic and elongated applause. Simply wonderful!"

"Cecily was incredible! She was most helpful throughout the process, replied promptly and gave great advice re: song choices etc. Cecily provided an outstanding performance at our wedding and I cannot thank her enough! Guests were blown away and we could not have asked for more."

"Gemma's performance at my corporate event was absolutely incredible! I cannot recommend her enough. She made our evening super special as her voice is absolutely stunning! She captivated the audience from start to finish with an engaging and at times extremely relaxing repertoire just as I requested for we had a black tie dinner going on as well later in the evening. Thank you Gemma, you left everyone speechless and you were a fantastic presence!!"

"We contacted Malcolm to play my dad on his final journey and can’t recommend him enough. From the first call he was really easy to deal with and nothing was too much trouble. We arranged for 4 songs to be played. Malcolm arrived 30mins early, walked the route my dad would be taking. Then stood and played for 20 mins before the hearse arrived. His professionalism made what has been the hardest day of mine and my family’s life more bearable and the send off he helped us give my dad was one he would of been proud of. I can’t thank you enough."

"Beci was absolutely brilliant. From start to finish when we were organising a surprise birthday gig she was great to deal with, helped with choices, and a really lovely person to deal with. Then the performance was just incredible. Really relaxed feel, amazing voice, used guitar, added in loop pedal and then did Rick Astley Never gonna give you up on the violin - pure genius. Wouldn’t hesitate to book Beci again, super talented, amazing voice, and to be honest simply a lovely person."

"Dear Lynden, A little note to say thank you again for wonderful music on Saturday. Your performance really gave so much atmosphere and made the whole evening a relaxed and fun time. Many of our guests praised you and loved the sax - even my brother who is not given to compliments! You made it very easy for us by being so flexible and accommodating as things changed as the evening progressed. We had a most happy and special time, which you certainly contributed enormously to - I don't think I stopped smiling all evening. We are more than happy to recommend you to anyone who is holding an event and would be quite happy for you to put folk in touch with us if they want a personal commendation. We have already given your details to the lady who does the booking for Cecilia Hall. Having praised you to her, she then emailed me for your details. All good wishes to you for the future. Sue"

"We booked Jen to play the violin during our wedding ceremony and reception drinks. Jen was very courteous on the day and flexible with our schedule when things ran behind. Jen had a large set list, which we could pick our favourites from and also allowed us to choose any 3 songs for the ceremony which she learnt and played perfectly. Jen was very professional, friendly and organised throughout the planning process and on the day, we couldn't have asked for more! The atmosphere Jen created for our special day was perfect and our guests loved everything too!"

"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."

"Just wanted to say THANK YOU! The music was great! Some of the guests have said that this was the best ending of a wedding ceremony they have ever heard. [As well as playing Bach, Brahms and Rachmaninoff before the service, the playout music I was asked to play was 'Gonna Fly Now', the theme from 'Rocky'. Great fun!]"

"Chris was absolutely professional and incredibly easy to work with. Chris' beautiful playing set a lovely atmosphere for the occasion and he was able to put together a wonderful repertoire perfectly suited to the evening with very little guidance. Performances at regimental dinner nights can be quite heavily criticised if not done just right but there were only positive comments on this occasion Thank you Chris! Would definitely recommend this very talented pianist."

"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. "
