"Stevie played at our wedding ceremony and drinks reception at Prestonfield House in Edinburgh. He was absolutely fantastic. So many guests commented on his talent. He learnt a song just for us for the ceremony and he was absolutely amazing. He really helped to make our day special and he was so professional and easy going. Thank you Stevie! It was fantastic. "

"The musician was really talented however did not play the music requested so killed the entire vibe of the party. It was a party and we requested upbeat music alongside DJ but she used her own speaker and mellowed tunes... everyone obviously left the dance floor at this point and had to remind her of the request. She struggled with our requirements despite us being very specific on booking and even noted specific times on contract booking, did not fulfil contract and waste of £550"

Dear Hayley Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback regarding your recent event. I take all reviews seriously, as they help me improve my services, and I appreciate the opportunity to address some inaccuracies in your comments. The full fee you paid was £459, I understand that you felt the music selection did not align with the upbeat atmosphere you envisioned. However, I want to clarify that I arrived well-prepared with a curated playlist that included the specific tracks you requested, such as "Rebel Music" and "Ibiza Classics." Additionally, during our initial conversation, I offered to incorporate lively pop songs like "Havana," "Rather Be," and "Cheerleader" to enhance the party vibe. I left out your request to play Andrew Lloyd Webber/Starlight Express as I felt it didn’t align with the style of your event. Regarding the DJ sound levels, these were extremely loud throughout. I strive to maintain an enjoyable volume throughout my performances. While you noted that the dance floor, it was empty upon my arrival and throughout the ibiza classics with DJ last 30 minute set. I appreciated the positive feedback from many guests which indicates we’re enjoying my performances. As the event progressed, I was attentive to your requests, including the unexpected addition of a dhol drummer for the second set. I performed the "Morni" provided the Bollywood track to the DJ and performed alongside the DJ and which successfully energised the dance floor. I also addressed the issue with my electric violin volume being turned down by DJ immediately after he received feedback from guest complaining he couldn’t hear it! The booking was to perform 3x 30 minute sets I stayed on the dance floor except two 15 minute breaks and performed throughout the 2 hour duration. I made repeated requests to the DJ to play "Ibiza Classics," in line with your preferences, and I took swift action to address all requests throughout the night. The DJ consistently played track’s that were impossible for a violinist to play over such as Milkshake by Kelis. My goal is always to create memorable experiences for my clients, and I have consistently received positive feedback for over 20 years !

"Thinking what music to have at my mothers 100th Birthday event where there would be people with varying musical tastes I immediately thought of Luc . I had heard Luc some years previously and was amazed at not only how beautifully he played but the range of his repertoire which included Jazz, pop, and classical on the harp. Luc played for the whole afternoon and not only was my mother entranced as soon as she entered the room where Luc was playing but many of the other guests were amazed and delighted with the music both its quality and the range. Luc made all the arrangements extremely easy and apart from booking him and checking with the hotel that they could accommodate him Luc did all the rest. I would recommend Luc without hesitation to any event where you want to hear great music. "

"Ian is a very talented saxophonist. He made our drinks/meal reception extra special. On the wedding day itself and after our special day, many of our wedding guests have commented on how brilliant Ian was. Ian was a pleasure to deal with prior to our wedding day and on the day itself. It is clear that he really enjoys playing at weddings. We will be recommending him to all of our friends and families in the future. Thank you Ian for making our wedding day so special."

"It was absolutely amazing! I loved the glass violin and the shining light within it. I think she is extremely talented and her performance was perfect. I recorded some of the performance and I will definitely be showing the video to others to show how amazing she was! "

"Alan played at our wedding in September this year and was absolutely incredible. We had many guests complimenting the tunes he played, there was such a great selection and variety that were all perfect for our big day. Alan was also vary flexible with any changes we made to timings and songs for the day and we found him very attentive and fast to reply when communicating, which is very reassuring when planning such a large and important event. We highly recommend booking Alan for your event if you are looking for a highly professional and highly skilled guitarist with a huge range of songs to play. Alan, you were a huge part of making our day so special! Thank you!"

"We are an Irish couple living in Australia and got in touch with George to perform at our Santorini Wedding. From that moment onwards, George has been nothing but a dream to work with! Logistically the wedding was a challenge, but George made the entertainment planning the smoothest part of our entire wedding. He is super professional and does his very best to make the whole process as easy and stress-free as possible, bending over backwards to do all he can. On the day, he blew us away. Him and his percussionist George were fantastic and covered everything from ceremony to reception and party afterwards. They were both superb and from walking down the aisle to the final dance, they had everyone singing their praises. George even learnt a bespoke song to walk down the aisle to, and his version had everyone (including me) in tears! Do not hesitate to book George, you won't regret it."

"We loved having Joe at our wedding during the ceremony and the drinks reception. He was such a delight and we found him during our venue's open day. He managed to sing the songs we loved perfectly. Our guests loved him and so did we!"
