Last Minute Musicians Reviews

"Thank you so much to the Black Velvet Band Ceilidh Trio, they were excellent from start to finish! They were easy to book and the communication was clear and fast. Everyone loved the band on the day and they made a special effort to organise a first dance for our families. We’re so glad we booked them! "

"We can't express our thanks for last night. The whole band were outstanding from start to finish. The organisation leading into the wedding was so easy and straightforward and we couldn't have been happier. So many of our guests mentioned how good you were and many said it was one of the best live gigs they had ever seen. Last night you really brought the feel good factor and completely made our night. The first dance was something we will never forget so thank you from the bottom of our hearts. Lots of love Nathan & Chloe."

"We were absolutely delighted with Astri Strings (Victoria & Jude), who played at our wedding. From the very start, communication with them was so easy and stress-free — they were professional, warm, and accommodating to every request. Their repertoire is incredible, covering everything from classical and jazz through to modern-day hits. One particularly special touch was when they learnt and performed the song I wanted to walk down the aisle to, even though it wasn’t on their list. That meant the world to me, and it was played so beautifully. They performed seamlessly as our guests arrived, throughout the ceremony, and into the drinks reception, creating a lovely atmosphere from start to finish. So many of our family and friends commented on how stunning the music was, and we couldn’t agree more! We would 100% recommend Astri Strings to anyone planning a wedding or any other celebration. They were an absolute joy to work with and such a memorable part of our special day. Ayesha & Fred x August 2025 Worton Hall, Witney "

"My wife and I first met Clea when she played at a regular spot at a bar I used to work at. Her voice was so strong and beautiful. Every song she sang sounded as though it was sung from her heart. Clea is a huge talent, both vocally and musically (as we found out she is an incredibly talented song writer and guitarist). She was always our first choice to perform at our wedding and we hoped we could persuade her to sing our song for our first dance (“Songbird” by Eva Cassidy). The song was one she had not performed before, but she absolutely blew us away with her rendition. The guest’s at our wedding were constantly telling us how much they were enjoying listening to Clea and my only regret was not booking her for a longer set! She created such a beautiful atmosphere during her performance and this continued to grow right up to her last song and the rest of the night.​My wife and I feel blessed that we managed to get Clea to perform at our wedding and we are sure it would not of been the same without her."

"Dear Pivotal Strings Trio. Thank you so much for playing at our wedding ceremony. It was such a beautiful moment when you played pachebel’s canon when my wife walked down the aisle, and your playing of ‘over the rainbow’ for the signing was just as stunning. I will certainly be recommending you! "

"This lady sang at my father’s funeral. She sang all of the hymns during the church service beautifully, people commented on how good she was. I booked her at short notice and the communication with her was great. I would recommend her and would definitely book her in the future. Thank you. "

"Thank you so much for playing for my party yesterday and helping to make it such an enjoyable day. I'm very sorry I didn't get a chance to say thank you to you properly before you left but I wanted you to know how much we enjoyed the music which really created just the right happy relaxed mood for the occasion. Everyone was very complimentary about your playing, thank you very much for contributing to such a successful event! "
