"We had Jeff perform at our wedding on 23rd October. He was fabulous. We booked him a couple of months before the wedding. He had everyone up on the dance floor… 1000% recommend!!!"

"I just wanted to say a big thank you for playing at our wedding at Lulworth Castle, you guys were absolutely brilliant and were everything we had hoped for. You perfectly captured the mood of the day and everyone said how much they enjoyed the music and dancing along. I only wish Luke and I could have stayed longer to dance more! Luke and I are still so thrilled about our day and how perfect it was for us and your music at the reception drinks and in the evening played a huge part in making it just as we had imagined. I think two of your biggest fans are my grandparents who amazed me by not only lasting the whole night but also dancing on several occasions – my grandma called me up on Saturday to sing Chattanooga Choo Choo down the phone at me because she said she has been singing it every day since the wedding!

"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

"Meredith is a wonderful harpist, she recently played at my husband's open air natural burial. She stepped in for me two days before the service as I was let down by another musician. Meredith went out of her way to visit the burial ground the day before so she would be punctual, she sent me a long list of ideas of music choices and was just wonderful! She plays beautifully, the music was wonderful and just made the service special. I would recommend Meredith for any occasion. Thanks Meredith. Hayley "

"We booked George before for our Nans' Birthday and just had to have him back to our Burns Night. Nothing was too much trouble he even Addressed the Haggis for us after I gave up trying understood the words. He's lovely, we need another party to book him for."

"I was looking for something special and different for the golf club when I discovered Joanne on the internet and that is what I got and more. Joanne's professionalism and voice quality were exceptional and had the full attention of the audience of some 140 members and guests who went out of their way to thank me for booking her. The content of the music set and the timing was left to Joanne after I had outlined what the night was all about and it turned out perfectly. From my initial contact with Joanne everything went without a hitch and I anticipate that we will be inviting her to make the long journey to enthrall us again. "

"Mica played at our wedding in May and it was so wonderful! Her set list was perfect, but we were able to choose some songs also that she learned especially. All our family commented on how great you were, thank you for making our day so special!"

"Matt, I wanted to thank you for playing at our wedding. You were amazing on the saxophone and provided a great atmosphere during the drinks reception and the wedding breakfast. Everyone commented on how good you were and how professional/organised it was. (I think you got more comments than my wife!) I would recommend you to anyone; your communication was excellent throughout and always kept in touch."

"Just a quick note to say thank you for such a wonderful job yesterday. Everyone absolutely loved the music and it created the perfect ambience. You are v talented as I’m sure you know, and although you probably don’t love playing at people’s houses, we will definitely use you again in the future! Charles, Orpington, Kent, July 2013"
