Last Minute Musicians Reviews

"Such a fantastic band! They appealed to all the guests at our wedding. Everyone, old and young, said how much they enjoyed the upbeat songs. They really helped to create the garden party feel we wanted for our day. They were also really lovely chaps and very flexible with last minute changes. Would book them again in a heart beat. Thank you!"

"Vintage Riffs were absolutely superb. A lovely group of musicians who exuded warmth and fun, were extremely professional and had the most amazing set. Everyone commented on how great they were. The dance floor was packed from start to finish. A wonderful end to a perfect day. The organising and booking procedure was very straightforward and stress free. I would definitely recommend - thank you!"

"Inês and the band were the perfect sound to our reception, and they were even able to play one of my favourite songs by Djavan. They were able to respond really well to the crowd too, I can’t wait to have another reason to hire them! We all had a great time dancing to them and the whole evening went perfectly."

"The very first time we heard Vera Voce sing, she performed "In the Arms of an Angel" on a YouTube channel. We absolutely loved her voice and knew she would be the ideal singer for our Christmas wedding in 2022, and we were so fortunate that our wedding date suited her diary. Little did we know, then, that Vera Voce would - in a metaphorical sense - come to provide those very angelic, reassuring arms for us on our wedding day, as we were faced with a number of unexpected challenges (including train strikes, snow chaos, and traffic delays). It all added to the stresses of the day, particularly for the bridal party, who were not sure they would even make it to wedding in time. However, the moment we entered the Church and were met by Vera Voce's soaring aria as she performed her opening song to the Groom ("Nella Fantasia"), any worries and anxieties magically disappeared. Instead, a wonderful sense of calm and serenity descended - like arms of an angel - where Vera Voce's song, accompanied on the piano by amazing Paolo Freitas, literally transported us to a breathtakingly beautiful, almost etheral, space in time. From that point, everything fell into place, and Vera Voce became our guiding light and steadfast beacon for the rest of the day and evening. Not only was she our amazing soprano for our wedding ceremony, singing five songs in four different languages (Italian, Latin, Portuguese and English!), but she single-handedly provided the full musical entertainment for our wedding reception, covering everything from Depeche Mode to Abba - and even led the wedding party in a surprise Les Miserables flash mob! We are indebted to Vera Voce for making our wedding day the huge and unforgettable success that it was; her work ethic and professionalism is second to none, and her warmth, great sense of humour and generosity of spirit is something we will never forget. We feel we did not just hire a singer for our special day, but a true artist who engaged everyone with her presence and creative performance, and who has become a friend for life. We cannot recommend Vera Voce enough. She will bring joy and light and life-time memories to any special events, giving 110% until the very moment the lights go out for the night. Perhaps the greatest testament to the lasting effect that Vera Voce had on our wedding day was when the Priest himself leaned over and whispered to us during the ceremony: "Where did you find this singer? She is fantastic." We would only like to add that choosing this lovely young woman to sing at our wedding, and at the reception, was one of the best, if not the best, decision, that we made when arranging our wedding. Thank you so much, Vera Voce. We love you xxx."

"Claire and Jerry were invited to play at our Wedding in Devon in September and it was an absolute pleasure to have them on our special day. While we were happy to only have Claire on the Violin we are very glad that Jerry was also available and the composition of the 2 made all the difference to the vibe of the event. Our guests loved having them play and their automatic choice of songs were on points with the feeling of the room. They were more than happy to learn our (somewhat unconventional) requests of music which added to the personal touch that is important with a wedding. Their professional, skillful and friendly service was a talking point for the day and we only wish that we could have had them there for longer. Could not rate them highly enough. Thank you Claire and Jerry :) - Love Colin and Cassie Malkin "

"So happy to have had Tom play the piano at our wedding reception. Talented and kind, as well as willing to accommodate our song choices and adapt to timing changes showcased Tom's professionalism. We're thankful for his contribution and the beautiful recording he provided for our wedding dance song, which allowed us to prepare thoroughly. Thank you Tom!"
