"Paul performed during our wedding ceremony and was absolutely fantastic. I had quite a set idea about what I wanted to walk down the aisle too. Paul was so helpful and attentive and listened to make sure my dream became become a reality. His voice is amazing and it really set the tone for the rest of the day. I highly recommend him, he is such a lovely man to work with and will definitely give your guests something to talk about during any event- I reviewed so many compliments about him and will definitely book him again when the occasion arise .

"Craxton Strings were a fabulous addition to our wedding day. We booked the quartet only 10 days before our wedding and despite this the process was very easy. The group has a fabulous musical repertoire, all of which can be listened to online, and allows you to fully customise your music selection, a process we greatly enjoyed. On the day the group were very flexible, due to the weather they had to play inside and over the noise of 200 guests, not an easy task, however they remained professional throughout and received a great number of compliments from our guests. We would not hesitate to book them again. "

"Black Velvet Band Ceilidh Trio – International Student’s Ceilidh – July 2025 This is the second time we have booked the Black Velvet Band for our summer ceilidh, and it was such fun! The band ran two different dancing sessions for our international students and were very patient with explaining the dances and encouraging all students to participate. The music was brilliant and energetic, and all three band members were so kind and even paused for a photoshoot with the students. We are looking forward to next summer already. I’d absolutely recommend them for any event/party/celebration!"
