Review Centre: Solo Musicians

"wedding & reception music October 2019 I am so pleased that I found Emily. She was friendly and professional from our first contact and gave me complete confidence. Emily not only played her own compositions and traditional cello pieces but also created an arrangement for a specific track at my request, as a surprise for my husband. In addition, Emily prepared a further arrangement at our request, to play alongside our 17 year old son, who accompanied her on the ukulele. Emily and George were only able to run through this piece a couple of times on the day, directly before guests began to arrive and it was wonderful to hear them master it together so quickly. Our guests burst into spontaneous applause after they had played this piece for the recessional! I cannot recommend Emily highly enough! Lisa S "

"We booked Mark a longggg time before our wedding, probably one of our first vendors - we had carried out a lot of research, watched videos and read reviews and Mark came out on top, for everything including prices! From the start Mark communicated fantastically - he genuinely cared and wanted what’s best for us. He took song requests, helped us straight away with any questions and worked alongside our DJ without batting an eye lid. We felt safe in his hands. After having other performers pull out last minute it never for a second felt like this with Mark, he even messaged me the day before our wedding wishing us luck. Now on the day of performing he filled the whole room incredibly - absolutely amazing, all of our guests were raving about this and couldn’t believe how fantastic hewas on the sax. He read the room, played to the guests who were dancing and interacting with them while constantly smiling. It felt like he genuinely wanted to be there with us. I would 100 times over always recommend Mark. Thank you Mark, you are awesome!"

"The Songbirds entertained at my 50th birthday party last Saturday (8th November), in my local village hall, a smallish venue. They brought all their own equipment and set up quickly and efficiently and all they needed was a 3 pin plug. The ladies were immaculately turned out, and were incredibly friendly. They were fantastic! They sang songs that were really appropriate for the audience, and my guests and I thoroughly enjoyed them. Throughout the evening, so many people asked me "where did you find them?". I strongly suspect they will be invited back to my village by others. I would recommend them without hesitation. Thanks again both for making my 50th a very memorable and entertaining evening. "

"Through the 11 years that I have known Rory both as a friend and colleague, I have found him to possess many excellent qualities. He is extremely organised and pays close attention to detail. I have worked in his band Latina Carnivale since 2013 and found him to be very efficient in running his production company [management]. The events are always diligently co-ordinated with all the operational info sent out well in advance, so we always know what to expect. I have found Rory to be very reliable and always keeps his word. I think he would be a great asset to any music or arts organisation. He has a wealth of knowledge to impart to peers from his years of music-making. His approach is fun and engaging whilst bringing lots of ideas to the table."

"Just would like to say a massive thank you to you both for your performance last night it was absolutely fabulous! Everyone enjoyed it so much and the comments from people were all very positive. I can say without a doubt you will be getting bookings off the people that attended. Hopefully will need your services again sometime! Thanks again, Suzanne."

"Hi Julian, Firstly I just wanted to apologise about not paying you on the day but lee made payment yesterday so if you could check that would be fab! Secondly I just wanted to say a HUGE thank you to you and the band! You guys are the talk of the wedding! Honestly - the atmosphere and vibe in that courtyard was incredible and wouldn't have been the same without you there. I just wish we had been able to enjoy it a little more instead of being photographed haha but I know we will be pleased to have the photos in the long run! Anyway we really really cannot thank you enough for what you did on Friday it really was just perfect! Thank you for playing so beautifully in the ceremony too, when I pulled up and heard somewhere out there from American tail I just lost it haha- one of my all time fave films and such a love song! If you could send us your address so that we can send you a card when we get around to doing them that would be great! Kind regards, Katie BURGESS :)"

"We were privileged to have North East Serenade for the first part of our son's wedding. This helped create a great atmosphere pre and post ceremony. They have an extensive repertoire from which to choose and will even arrange requests as long as they are given adequate notice. We are very pleased that they were able to attend and would not hesitate to recommend them."

"The Medley Doctors were absolutely incredible! We weren't sure what to expect at first but after reading so many positive reviews we decided to book them and we are so glad we did. From the very start they were easy to work with. We had a FaceTime before the wedding where they explained everything clearly and on the day they were punctual, professional and had everything set up smoothly. Their energy and talent were outstanding and they had all our guests of every age up and dancing. So many of our friends said they were the best live act they had ever seen at a wedding! I would agree :))) If you are thinking of booking then do it, you will not regret it! We are still talking about how amazing they were and how much fun we had. Thanks so much guys!"

"We hired The Ed Team to play our school fundraiser and he was absolutely perfect! He was great at communicating and working with us prior to the event and on the day arrived in plenty of time to set up all his equipment. Joseph does an amazing Ed Sheeran tribute act and sang all the hits so well and extremely professionally - all our guest loved him and it set us up for such a good night. I would without a doubt use Joseph again for future events and would highly recommend him."

"Martin played at our wedding 2 weeks at Madingley Hall near Cambridge for the drinks reception after the ceremony and again later in the day to welcome our evening guests to jazz and bubbly. He did a brilliant job with his various saxophones and created a wonderful atmosphere on what was a perfect day. He played a wide variety of music for all tastes and we had many compliments from our guests. We would have no hesitation in recommending him to others and would use him again for other events."

"Fingal Ship Edinburgh, 25/05/2024 Mira & George added a very special touch to our amazing wedding onboard the Fingal ship in Edinburgh. Their voices are superb and distinctly outstanding, and the music choices superbly selected to suit the event. A highly talented duo, perfect for any wedding, anniversary, birthday or corporate event. I would love to have them perform again at any celebration we may have in the future. "

"Absolutely amazing!! Robert played for our wedding and was just super. Arrived early, all prepared and just left him to perform. He knew when to take breaks and each song led perfectly to the next. Can’t recommend enough. Thank you 😊 "

"This is our third event with David now and he just gets better and better. 60+ people of ages 2years up to 90 years and David had something for everyone. His voice is absolutely amazing but the man himself is one of the nicest guys you ever will meet. One word sums him up really, fabulous. Thanks once again David and hope to see you in July/August. Have a great Xmas & a healthy, successful 2022.xx"
