"Durham Harpist performed numerous pieces on the harp for our wedding ceremony and reception. Playing so many pieces we asked for, including some personal requests. They were incredibly punctual and professional throughout. Thank you so much for making our wedding that bit more special."

"Scottish Violinist was one of the absolute highlights of our wedding ceremony at Inverness Botanic Gardens. Her talent, warmth, and artistry brought an unforgettable magic to the day. She played beautifully—every note was filled with emotion and elegance—and our guests were truly captivated. So many people commented on how stunning the music was. We can’t recommend Scottish Violinist highly enough; she’s a true professional and an extraordinary musician. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟"

"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 !

"Duncan played for us at a lunchtime celebration for our Silver Wedding. His music was superb - just brilliant - and exactly the type of music we wanted. Many of our guests commented on how much they enjoyed listening to him. He is a great musician - smartly dressed and has a quiet professional manner. We are so pleased we chose Duncan and would highly recommend him."

"We first heard Andrews ENCHANTING renditions in Canterbury and instantly my future wife agreed the music was just right for our wedding Ceremony & reception at Eastwell Manor Ashford. Problem solved and several cordial conversations later all was efficiently arranged, on our special day he rose to the occasion with aplomb. even the change to an outside last minute Ceremony didn't phase him with such great weather to match his violin, and the mix for the reception later was spot on and enjoyed by all. Andrew is a very talented musician and a man for all occasions Formal or Informal and of course Fun. RECOMMENDED. "

"I’m so sorry I didn’t get to speak to you on Thursday to say thank you for the wonderful music (on 8th October 2015 at Lothian Chambers, Edinburgh) , both Martin and I were caught up in the whirlwind of emotions! Thank you so much, it really made the atmosphere so special and I know our guests enjoyed hearing you play. In particular your version of ‘One Day Like This’ was amazing."

"On a sunny day in July we had the wedding of our dreams in the garden of our family home. The day was made even more magical by the sublime music, played with unobtrusive charm by Nathaniel. His guitar playing was wonderful. As one guest said, “I didn’t even get to the entry of the bride, I started crying for the beauty of the music!” We will always be grateful that he was a part of our day and he will probably never know what an important part he played."

"They were very talented and lovely girls and we enjoyed the music. All our guests were impressed so yes we would use them again and thank you. May have missed a trick in getting all the guests to stand and listen to a particular number so that there is full appreciation for their talent and more interaction. Thank you. Jeanette. "
