"Vitalia played for my daughter's wedding reception and wedding breakfast. Her playing was beautiful and the most perfect special addition to a wonderful day. I only booked her a few days before the wedding but she rose to the occasion and played all the music on my "special playlist", some of which she did not know before. Vitalia was a very glamorous element to the day and I would love to book her again, but only have one daughter. Thank you Vita."

"The best band ever! We absolutely loved having The Will Blake Band at our wedding. They were one of the absolute highlights of the day! every said they were amazing! Will’s beautiful red piano immediately catches your eye, and the energy and professionalism of the whole band was incredible. The female vocalists looked fantastic in their gold glittery dresses, and the guys had subtle touches of gold too - they all looked polished, fun, and ready to put on a show. We opted for the six-piece band! During dinner, Will played the piano beautifully, it felt like we were in a classy, fun jazz bar with low lights and great music. Guests at the table next to him kept giving requests, and honestly, Will is like a human jukebox. During the drinks reception, the saxophone performance was fantastic, and before dinner, Will had everyone up on their feet for our entrance song. We trusted him to choose the perfect track, and he nailed it, it couldn’t have been better. Their performance exceeded all expectations. They don’t just play the songs they perform them and Will on the piano is the star of the show. Their customer service was brilliant, their professionalism was spot-on, and the energy and talent they brought to the stage was perfect. If you’re considering booking them for your wedding or any party, do it, you will not regret it. Everyone was on the dance floor all night - a really great mix of songs and you can let Will know if you have any specific ones for your big day. Thank you so much to Will and the whole band for making our day so special. Absolutely AWESOME. 10 Stars!!!!"

"Where to begin! Goldsworth gerry played at our wedding on Friday, we were absolutely blown away with how fantastic they were live! Through covid we have only been able to watch online videos of this awesome duo, and they did not disappoint! Nearly every guest has commented to say how great you were! Our first dance song was perfect and learnt especially for us by Stuart and Martin and was beautifully sung! They were fantastic to deal with when we had to postpone our first wedding, compassionate yet professional. We honestly couldnt recommend you highly enough! Thank you both so much!"

Hi Hollie and Cory. Many thanks for your kind and thoughtful review. We are so happy to hear that you all had a great night and that, after having to postpone the original June date due to covid restrictions, we were finally able to provide you with the night you wanted! We wish you both a lifetime of happiness together :-) Best wishes, Martin and Stuart

"We wanted to say massive thank you for Saturday night. You were exceptional & just made the evening. All of our guests commented on how excellent you were and we feel privileged to have had you play at our wedding. We thought you were absolutely fantastic & it was a shame the night had to end, as everyone was having a great time dancing & singing along with you!"

"I booked The London Dollz for a 1940s street party. They were the perfect addition and my guests absolutely loved them! They really took us back in time with the costumes to match. "

"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 !
