"It was superb and far exceeded my expectations.So many people commented on the excellence of the band and also on how they looked as if they were enjoying the evening as much as the guests. Gary's help in planning the evening was invaluable and immediately took the stress off my shoulders. I would sincerely recommend Eleventh Hour to anyone looking for a band to enhance their party experience."

"Andrew and I just wanted to reach out and thank you again for all the work you put into our wedding. It was a truly amazing day, and it wouldn't have been the same without you. Your music was absolutely incredible. You played all of our favourite songs, and you really got the party started. Our guests couldn't stop talking about how great you were. We were also really impressed with your professionalism. You were on time, you were prepared, and you were easy to work with. We didn't have to worry about a thing, and we could just enjoy our wedding day. Thank you again for everything! We couldn't have asked for a better band for our wedding."

"I would highly recommend both your booking service and Elliot Rooney. Booking was easy and professionally managed. Elliot delighted our guests, I had asked for him to gauge the audience and he find just that, all our guests commented how much they had enjoyed his mystic during the event and how lovely a tone Elliot had when he sang. Really pleased, thank you."

"Jonathan and his trio provided the music for a special party in July. This is the fourth time we have had the pleasure of his relaxed style of music and this time he brought a superb saxophonist. His repetoire is varied and he suits it to the occasion very well, even including special requests. Just need an excuse for another party!"

"It was an absolute pleasure and delight meeting you on Saturday, you completely blew me away with expectations. I know that you had not had the best of weeks prior to Saturday, but please don’t let peoples opinions or actions define who you are as a person, or your passion. You are extremely talented and is a gift. So many people came to me and said how amazing you are! "If you are considering hiring Rory for your event 100% do it. Rory played at our wedding and completely blew us and our guests away, such a talent. Before our wedding we collaborated on what vibe we wanted to set, songs, some surprises for our guests and Rory completely understood the assignment and just continued to surprise and bring pure joy. Rory made our wedding the most magical, joyous and beautiful experience possible."

Hi Lyndsey, Sorry to hear you’ve not been feeling great, although I can understand with the wedding and everything, with all the preparation and seeing so many people from your life in one go, it can be emotionally and physically draining. Do take plenty of rest and care of yourself. You deserve it! Thank you so much for your wonderful testimonial, really, it means the world to me! As you know, I had such joy contributing to your special day and I really appreciate your kindness and the energy of everyone at The Merlin. Thanks also for your understanding, Sarah-Jane was very supporting, she said that this wedding was what I needed right now, and like you said it was meant to be! It was great spending some time in Manchester again! It was a fantastic event, a true pleasure to be a part of, and feel free to give SJ a shout if you need any help with any future events. Many thanks and have a wonderful Christmas. All the best for 2025! Cheers Rory

"Just a note to thank you so much for last Saturday. You and the band were superb! You played with such energy which got everyone including the reluctant ones onto the floor. Your caller was lovely and very good humoured and patient with us which made a big difference too. I will send over some snaps including of you addressing the haggis, which I hope you will be able to use. We’ve had brilliant feedback and made over £3,700 towards our fund …... which exceeded our expectations! Very many thanks. "

"Lucy and Jack were amazing at our wedding. Everything we could have hoped for. They were great at learning my song requests for the whole day. Very reasonably priced for the incredible service they provide. Intimate and happy atmosphere created by their beautiful voices and musical talents! Completely perfected the musical genres we wanted of modern country and pop, with couple of older songs too. For any brides out there I highly recommend Lucy and Jack, and to have live singer whilst walking down the aisle, it was one of the most memorable parts of my day. "

They are a winning and magical admixture of instrumental excellence, captivating playing and singing ability, delectable stage presence, supremely well chosen eastern european repertoire and matchless original tunes... This a string duo bound for glory."

"We were truly amazed by the wonderful performance Laura and her fantastic pianist put on for our private event. Booking was super easy - we had a call to discuss some must-haves which Laura kindly included, and Laura also very kindly noted all the anecdotal detail I shared and built this into the performance, making it feel so special and thoughtful. They arrived perfectly on time to set up, were super professional yet approachable, and thankfully were able to extend the booking because we were not ready for them to leave! Laura’s voice is truly captivating and magical, and I am certain that we will have her singing at one of our events in the future. Thank you for setting the tone for our evening, and providing the most delightful and inspiring backdrop to the event."
