"Overall, it was a well-rounded performance that highlighted the beauty of both instruments. I left feeling uplifted and inspired by the talent and creativity displayed on stage. I’d highly recommend Vicki for both clarinet and saxophone. "

"I just wanted to write a review for the performance you did at my wedding- 31/3/18 at crystal plaza First of all the bridal entrance was almost fairy-tale like. You played my chosen song to perfection. The violin was played alongside the backdrop tune very well and even when I got to the stage and the clapping started you waited and carried on playing till the very end. Also I had booked you from 1- 2 but due to running late, my bridal entrance started at 2 and you still waited for my entrance. I would like to say you are a very trust worthy violinist who would make every brides wedding unique and one to remember. I can't thank you enough. Kind regards Sumera "

"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

"Ryan is without a doubt a seriously talented Musician! His piano and sax set provided the most incredible backdrop to the drinks reception at our wedding…a total professional, he was so thoughtful and helpful in the run up to the day and he played a fabulous choice of songs, perfectly selected by him, on the day. Honestly, we couldn’t recommend him more. I have no doubt that Ryan’s performance, set a wonderful tone for the rest of our day. Without hesitation we highly recommend, Ryan and we would love to book him again for our next party x"

"Well where do I start! I contacted Billy to book him as a surprise for my husband to be, Colin. Initially, I asked if he would play outside the registry office for the guests arrival. Billy asked if Colin would be leaving from a hotel, which he was, along with some of the guests who were staying there - they had all planned to take the 5 minute walk up the hill to the registry office together. Billy suggested that he could meet Colin at the hotel then pipe him and the guests from the hotel through the streets of Lincoln to the registry office - what a fantastic idea! I then contacted ALL the guests attending the wedding to meet at the hotel for the walk up to the registry office! Even better was to come when Billy also piped us all back down the hill to the hotel as a Married couple! It was amazing and highly emotional - everyone was blown away! I think that the general public were too. Billy joined us at our reception afterwards and mingled with us all which was a lovely touch - Billy was fantastic and nothing was too much trouble for him and he helped to make our day even more special. I would Very Highly Recommend Billy for any function. An Amazing gentleman"

"Oleg what an absolute star!! He played at our wedding last weekend, he had never been to the venue before at Silchester Farm and was professional from start to finish, so responsive to emails and such a lovely person. He is absolutely fantastic playing his saxophone and I would highly recommend him to anybody to have him at any event! Don't hesitate this is the best decision you will make! Thank you so much Oleg 5* ++ you are and looked fantastic too. "

"Simon was outstanding on our wedding day. From helping us choose the right pieces of music, to his professionalism and standard of playing, he went above and beyond to make our day memorable. I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone seeking to hire a top piper for their wedding. And he's a lovely guy too! Ten out of ten."

"Constance played the piano for our wedding ceremony: background music as guests arrived and then songs for important points in the ceremony. Constance played beautifully and is very talented. She was friendly and easy to communicate with when organising our big day and was very helpful with making suggestions with our music arrangements, making it much less stressful. I would definitely recommend her. :) "
