Last Minute Musicians Reviews

"Our daughter's wedding had to be special, and that included the music. Groove Army were more than special, starting with the jazz sax/piano during the meal, and then the dancing in the evening. Unconditionally recommended!"

"Will played beautifully at Examiners’ Cocktail Party in July. He gauged just the right level of sound and helped create a wonderful atmosphere in our enclosed courtyard for our guests at a canapé and drinks reception, who numbered around 90. The set he played was seamless and the tone and style of music perfect. Will was well presented, in perfect time and was so polite and easy to liaise with. I can highly recommend him!"

"Charted Territory were phenomenal throughout. From setting up, to sound check, to the incredible performance on our wedding day, they were fantastic. Our guests loved the music and we have been delighted by the comments we have received from our guests. The musicianship, the perfect sound and the choice of songs were all spot on. Can only say a massive 'thank you'."

"We hired Kit for a solo gig at our clients 70th birthday event and he was absolutely brilliant. A professional and a pleasure to work with, he practiced specific tracks requested by our client and added some that were perfect for the Hollywood theme. On arrival he completely impressed with his classic jazz attire and stage set up. My client loved every track as did her guests bopping away to various numbers. The evening was an absolute success and i wouldn't hesitate to book Kit or his band for future Ollie Polly events."

Thanks Amy! I got some nice positive feedback from your client and her guests and I was very impressed with how well-organised and professionally you got everything done - including my payment! A pleasure to work with you too and I hope that we get to repeat the experience before long! - Kit Packham.

"We booked Chris to play for the full day of our wedding in November 2023. He was amazing and I would highly recommend! Chris was extremely helpful from initial contact right up to the day of the wedding. Chris set up and played for our ceremony, drinks reception and full dinner meal. He plays piano and also sings, which was so lovely and created a lovely atmosphere for the full day! We are delighted that Chris was part of our wedding day and would highly recommend!"

"I booked Liam to sing me down the aisle and then whilst we were signing the register and exiting our ceremony. I asked for three songs none that are typically played acoustically, I cannot describe how utterly amazing Liam’s voice and presence is. He had everyone in tears he sang the songs beautifully and they sounded so unique as if they were his own. We were so lucky to have found someone so professional but also so warm and friendly. I emailed Liam (a lot) in the run up to the wedding and every time was met with kind words and felt reassured. Thank you so so so much Liam for making our ceremony absolutely magical you were amazing we thought so and so did all our guests! Lauren & Billy xx"

The band went out of their way to ensure our wedding celebrations went smoothly - they helped us with the cake cutting, our first dance and had a lovely surprise for us at the end! Highly recommend."

"Hello Anne, Thank you and apologies for such a late reply we have not long returned from our honeymoon. I cannot begin to express how much we loved the musicians, they were beyond amazing, the minute I heard them playing from my room it brought a tear to all our eyes it’s just made our day that little more magical. Please pass on our thanks to them and how much we lived listening to them we lived every minute. Thank you so much. Mr & Mrs Clent "

"From the moment we first reached out to Ellen, we knew we were in safe hands. Her communication was prompt, warm, and incredibly professional, and it was clear right away that she genuinely cared about making our wedding day as perfect as it could be. Nothing was ever too much trouble; even the smallest questions or requests were met with kindness, patience, and enthusiasm. Ellen’s professionalism and expertise stood out from the very beginning. She guided us through our song choices and helped us select the perfect pieces for the key moments throughout the day. She was incredibly organised, yet so easygoing and relaxed, which made working with her such a pleasure. She truly took all the stress out of this part of the planning and brought a wonderful calm energy that we deeply appreciated in the lead-up to the big day. And then came the music. We already knew Ellen had a beautiful voice; we’d listened to recordings and seen clips online but hearing her perform in person was something else entirely. Her voice is simply breathtaking, and the emotion she brings to every note made each moment feel even more special. She added such a magical, heartfelt presence to our ceremony and reception that it’s hard to put into words just how much it meant to us. Ellen was warm, friendly, and genuinely excited to be part of our day. She felt more like a friend than a supplier, and we’re so grateful for the kindness and warmth she showed; not only to us but to all of our guests as well. Speaking of our guests; they couldn’t stop talking about her! Everyone was absolutely blown away by her voice, her energy, and the atmosphere she created. We had so many people come up to us to say how incredible she was, and several even asked for her details for future events. She was, without a doubt, one of the most talked-about and loved parts of our day. One moment that really stands out was a last-minute change we made to our song list. With very little time, Ellen learned it and performed it beautifully as though it had been part of her repertoire for years. That small act meant the world to us, and we’ll never forget it. (Please don’t put the same stress on her though! 😂) Ellen, from the bottom of our hearts, thank you. You helped make our wedding day more magical than we could have ever imagined. Your talent, your warmth, and your professionalism were everything we could have hoped for and more. It was truly an honour to have you there, and we will forever be grateful. "
