"I had john play at my wedding. As I walked down the isle and at the drinks reception. He was incredible. We had a french theme and the music john played was perfect. All of our guests are still talking about it now. I would definitely recommend. Thank you john. "

"I just wanted to say thank you so much for providing us with such amazing music for our wedding on the 16th May. The music was just perfect and fitted so well with our French themed wedding. I adore French Gypsy Jazz. Everyone absolutely loved your music and so many people said that their time on the lawn with your music, the food and drinks (plenty of drink!) plus the great weather was their favourite time of the day. Thank you again for such wonderful music and for such great service. You have been a pleasure to work with. I will definitely recommend you in the future and would certainly contact you again should we need music for an event."

"It was great to be able to specify pretty much exactly the artist we wanted and also local to us. Phillipa is a great singer and everyone was keen to say how much they enjoyed her performance afterwards."

"Harriet was amazing from the day we first met at a wedding fair. To when we said goodbye after her magnificent playing at our drinks reception. Harriet was very welcoming and really seemed excited to be part of our day, which is amazing as it gets you even more excited. She also provided an extra guide that has some of her favourite suppliers and provided us with some great people to work with. Obviously, we choose Harriet for her musical ability. Which was out of this world! She calmed down the groom by playing his chosen music before the ceremony, before then bringing the emotions when the bride walked down the aisle. She had everyone tapping their feet and having a little shimmy whilst enjoying the drinks reception and made time to speak to any guest who had interest in her playing. I would thoroughly recommend picking Harriet for that extra special touch for your day. The sound of the harp is perfect for a wedding and the way Harriet plays only magnifies this. Thank you again Harriet!"

"“I recently had the pleasure of having Viva La Sax performing at my birthday party, and the experience was absolutely unforgettable. From the very first note, it was clear that we were in the presence of a truly gifted musician. The performance brought a unique and sophisticated atmosphere to the celebration, elevating the entire evening. Many of my guests commented on how much they enjoyed the performance. it was a highlight of the evening and gave the party a personal, refined touch. I couldn’t have asked for a better musical addition to my birthday celebration. I wholeheartedly recommend this saxophonist for any event where quality, professionalism, and passion for music are essential.” "

"Avoid this woman. We paid her £380 to play for an hour and a half in the woods during our wedding ceremony and drinks reception on Saturday 10th August, 2019. She played for half an hour before the ceremony and then wouldn’t play the remaining hour because she claimed the conditions weren’t appropriate. Her reasons are as follows... her fingers were too cold (it was 20 degrees) and a small branch fell on the wedding celebrant who was no way near Cecily (the celebrant carried on like a profession, I hasten to add). I asked Cecily for the money for the hour back and she refused. I therefore, am going to be looking into what legal action to take as I am not happy paying £380 for someone to play for half an hour! Cecily ruined our wedding day so don’t book her... she could ruin yours, too! "

N/B: Please note this booking was private and not through Last Minute Musicians. If it had, then the LMM contract would have made clear that the musician reserves the right to protect their instruments (and themselves) if the working environment become unreasonable or dangerous. On this day the MET office had issued a yellow warning for gale force winds and the weather conditions were a cause for concern. The wedding took place in a wood and as well as the celebrant being hit on the head by a falling branch, a much larger branch fell inches away from my harp after the ceremony. It is always difficult and upsetting to have to make the decision that it is unreasonable to continue playing when it is somebody's wedding day. I did, in fact, manage to play for 1/2 an hour before the ceremony and during the ceremony itself. When it was clear after the ceremony that there was no available option of moving inside, and after much consultation with ushers and friends of the couple, I made the decision that it was no longer a safe environment to work for me or the harp. I was assured by those I spoke to that the bride and groom would understand. The cold was a factor (high winds make the temperature feel much colder, and I would like to add several guests did put on their coats. I was also kindly offered a jacket) but not the reason for having to curtail this booking after 1 hour of playing. It is sometimes possible to deal with the ill effects of playing in the cold but the issue here was the lack of back up plan when the weather made the working environment dangerous. Nobody should be expected to work in an unsafe environment or put their extremely expensive and delicate instrument (as well as themselves) at risk when their livelihood depends on it. I would hope that having managed to play before and during the ceremony (and before the couple departed for photographs) that the decision made did not ruin anyone's wedding day. Naturally I am saddened when anyone feels dissatisfied with the service provided and I have never had a negative response to my performance at a wedding before. With best wishes, Cecily
