""I would like to say thanks to Rory for being with us on our wonderful day. With so many other things to worry about on the day it was reassuring to know that my guests where being looked after when they arrived by the sweet jazz music of Rory. I had several comments saying it was a nice surprise to be greeted by Rory when they arrived. Rory and the team was also very accommodating to myself and my wife as we were running a little late on the day and he stayed behind for an extra hour to make sure that we had a nice arrival when we stepped out of the car. It's my pleasure to give the short testimonial to Rory and the whole team who worked together to make our special day a little bit better. Thanks, Mr and Mrs Nwigwe"

"I booked Rory for my 50th birthday celebrations on the recommendation of a close friend. He was hugely helpful in choosing the right music, and nothing was too much trouble - even a last minute request to be added to the set! Rory is a an amazing and talented musician who created a brilliant party atmosphere, and I couldn’t have asked for more. He totally made the night, and I was so glad we had him entertain us. I could actually listen to him all day! I would highly recommend Rory to others - he is delightful to work with and a real gentleman." Andy and I have just watched a video of you and it was just such an amazing night, I loved it and would do it all again tomorrow, so a huge thanks to you Thanks Emma Emma Bradbury, Birthday Party, Birmingham, Rory @ X O Lounge, Sutton Coldfield, West Midlands, March, 2025"

Hi Emma, Wow—thank you so much! That’s absolutely perfect, and it means a lot to me. I really appreciate you taking the time to write such kind words. I’m so glad you and Andy and everyone had such a fantastic night—it was an absolute pleasure to be part of it! I’ll transfer the mixes over now so you can relive the evening anytime. Thanks again, and hopefully, we’ll do it all again sometime in the future! Cheers Rory

"Carlito sax was outstanding. He played at our wedding for our 'Ibiza hour' alongside our DJ and it was incredible!!"

"Absolutely amazing!! We hired Mariachi Las Valentinas for a Mexican Day of the Dead party and were totally blown away by the quality of the music and the talent of the musicians. They really made the party go with a swing, and played a really good mixture of fast songs that had the audience up and dancing, and some slower songs that gave people a chance to catch their breath. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend them, they brought so much joy to our party - more than happy to personally recommend if there's anyone out there in two minds about whether to book them, just contact us via thephoenixgarden.org and we'll give you any extra details you need. Totally brilliant and we just can't thank this wonderful band enough - we had so many comments from local families who attended the event and told us how much they enjoyed the music. It almost felt as though we'd got some old friends to come and perform for us. If you're thinking of music for your party we'd wholeheartedly recommend Mariachi Las Valentinas - just please don't book them for any Day of the Dead events, because well be needing them again!!"

""Thanks for your performance on Sunday. The feedback from my friends especially the ones in Paris and New York including myself is that you were a fluent saxophonist and performer. You maintained professionalism, joined as scheduled and added to the birthday ambience and energy. We look forward to future bookings." Mo Queen, July, 2020"

Hi Mo, Thank you so much for your feedback! That’s fantastic and very warmly appreciated. I didn’t realise you were in New York! LOL. Thought you were in London. Oh wow, I’ve done a gig in New York! 👍👍👍 I'm delighted to hear you were happy with the service, and I'll passed on your kind feedback to Sophie who will be happy to liaise with you regarding any future bookings. Meanwhile, I would like to once again thank you for the opportunity, and I send you our warmest wishes. Thank you again, Best wishes Rory

"We had London Smooth Trio for the Mother's Day event. It was fantastic and all our guests loved it. We had around 200 guests for this event and they played really good music and entertained the guests to the fullest. The band played a variety of tunes and the lady singing had a beautiful voice which people just wanted to listen more off. I would highly recommend them to anybody."

"Hi Rory, Was a pleasure to meet you and I loved the band. Just wish I could have stayed longer and had a bunch of my dancers and Latin music fans with me to also enjoy! I'll definitely bear you guys in mind when we need a Latin Band. :-) Regards, Shahid - Salsa Buena, June, 2019"

Hi Shahid, Thank you so much for your lovely feedback. It was great to meet you and participate a bit in your class too. It was a terrific event and I’ve just emailed the bride some photos and videos, which I’ll share with you. Let me know if not received! Hope to see you again soon, All the best Rory
