Last Minute Musicians Reviews

"We booked Velvet Metal for our wedding reception and they absolutely blew us away. From the very first track, the whole vibe shifted—suddenly it wasn’t just a wedding, it felt like a proper metal show (in the best way imaginable). Their stage presence was electric, every song hit perfectly, and the energy never dipped once all night. Even our guests who had never listened to metal before were fist-pumping and dancing by the end. If you want something bold, powerful, and unforgettable, Crushed are the band to book."

"If you read only ONE line of this review...BOOK THE VINTAGE VOCALIST FOR YOUR EVENT! From the initial phone contact with Paula to her saying goodbye on the day, our time and experience was 100% positive in every way. My wife and I were able to choose from a huge set list of songs from various musical era's and genre's and Paula seamlessly organised all our favourites into a cracking party playlist for the wedding reception. By the third song, she had guests up dancing and by the second set, my 86 year old Auntie (who walks with two sticks), was throwing her shapes on the dance floor! Paula absolutely made our wedding day! We had guests from the age of 7 to 86 and we can honestly say that each and every one of them loved Paula's performance. Many spoke to her themselves to thank and praise her and many more told us how impressed they were and that they'd be either booking her themselves or would attend venues she'd be performing at in the future! Paula looked stunning in her classy vintage dress and her fabulous voice entertained our party and the local York residents, who sat out on their apartment balconies with a drink to lap up the free entertainment! What makes Paula so special, is that she instantly felt like a friend and a guest, not a singer we'd booked for our wedding entertainment. Her warm, open and down-to-earth personality, instantly puts you at ease and she has a brilliant Yorkshire accent and sense of humour! I loved that as I returned from the bar with a drink to keep her refreshed during her break, I found Paula sat amongst all my family, laughing and joking. We felt happy to see her enjoying the day with us and confident that our entertainment was in good hands. Our 8 year old son was desperate to sing a duet with Paula and we loved how accommodating and kind she was. Some artists would be precious about their professional set being gatecrashed unexpectedly, but Paula embraced the request and handed him his own microphone! Our family really liked and admired her for going with the flow and making the day special for everyone. So if you're considering booking The Vintage Vocalist and need a little persuasion to choose this incredibly talented Yorkshire lass, let me leave you with this... I showed my son the official wedding photo's and laughed at how happy he looked on his photo's with Paula and he turned to me and said... "What you laughing at Mummy?...I was living my BEST LIFE that day!!" I think coming from an 8 year old boy...that says it all."

"We booked Dave the guitarist for our wedding reception, he was great and has an amazing voice. Dave emailed me beforehand To find out what sort of songs we wa Wanted and he played for about 5 hours. Dave arrived very early as he was worried about traffic getting to our venue. Dave is a lovely man and was also very smart. We would definitely re book and recommend Dave. Thanks again Dave for make our night even more special. Rosie & Leon x"

"Hector, who is an old school friend got in touch with me when he heard my dad had passed and asked if we needed a piper for the funeral. We were delighted to take him up on the offer as he had also done my wedding many years ago. He arrived, immaculate as ever and just made the day that bit more personal. Many of our friends and family commented on just how special it made the whole day. My dad would have loved it. Thanks again Hector."

"Having seen Simply Sax at a family wedding that I recently attended, I have to say how wonderful it was to see a young lady playing saxophone. She played a great range of songs, some that I remember from my days as a youngster and plenty more that kept other younger guests entertained. A beautiful sound to listen to whilst we were having our welcome drinks. Thank you 'Simply Sax' for making the occasion extra special. I will definitely recommend you to our friends whose daughter is due to be married soon."

"You NEED Olly to play sax at your wedding! He played a huge part in our day and we are so glad we booked him. From getting the drinks reception going, to our wedding breakfast entrance, and starting the evening party - he brought all the energy! From start to finish, Olly was a pleasure to work with. Thank you!"
