"We organized a surprise birthday party for my sister, and this Latin duo absolutely stole the show. She was already emotional from the surprise—but when they started playing her favorite Latin classics from the ’70s and ’80s, she was completely blown away. Their performance turned what could’ve been a simple gathering into something unforgettable. The vibe was warm, intimate, and full of joy. At first people were just tapping their feet, but by the second set, the dancing had started—and didn’t stop. What really stood out was how personal it all felt. They interacted with the guests, shared a few words between songs, and even dedicated one to the birthday girl—which made her tear up (in the best way). Everyone kept asking where we found them. It wasn’t just live music—it was the heart of the party. We couldn’t have asked for more."

"Wow, what a singer! Lucy was an absolute star, travelling up from London with her guitarist to my party in the Midlands to help me out at short notice, as I was struggling to find an act I liked and was available for my birthday party. What I didn't realise was, not only is she absolutely lovely but she has an amazing voice, great range, a huge variety of songs and she even did me an Elvis number by special request. Her guitarist was a quality act too. I know there are lots of 10/10 ratings on here, but seriously I don't think you could give Lucy any less, if you hire her, she will make your event a special one.

"A huge thank you to you and your guitarist colleague for your excellent music on 28th June 2019 at the retirement party. The music was much enjoyed and there were many positive comments about the quality of the choice of music, playing and overall sound."

"Jaya and Sarah, we can’t thank you enough for playing for us at our wedding in Jersey. The music was outstanding, and loved by all our guests. Many commented on the wide range of your repertoire and the incredible arrangements. You made the day really special. From playing on the terrace (hope it wasn’t too hot!), the beautiful music during the ceremony and throughout the wedding breakfast, the wonderful music created a warm, relaxed ambience. To anyone considering Jaya and Sarah, the Chapel Hill Duo, for any event, including a wedding- do not hesitate for a moment. They play to an incredibly high standard, with a wide range of styles from classical, pop, film themes and folk. And play all of these styles equally well. They are two extremely nice, friendly people and a complete pleasure to deal with. I cannot recommend the Chapel Hill Duo highly enough. Booking the duo for your wedding is one of the wisest choices you will ever make!"

"Inês and the band were the perfect sound to our reception, and they were even able to play one of my favourite songs by Djavan. They were able to respond really well to the crowd too, I can’t wait to have another reason to hire them! We all had a great time dancing to them and the whole evening went perfectly."

"Oh, where to start. Just book them and relax knowing the music is well and truly taken care of. We initially booked Better Together to play our wedding ceremony and welcome drinks. But after going to see them we knew we needed to keep them around to get the party going in the evening too. We regret nothing! Brilliant musicians, brilliant professionals, and even better people. We can't thank you both enough for making our day extra special!"

"Flux Ensemble performed at a family celebration and were flawless - our guests thoroughly enjoyed a wide range of modern pieces for the younger guests and some classics for the older ones, and Flux were even able to tailor some pieces for the different ethnicities of the guests. I have no hesitation in recommending them and will definitely use them again. Apart from anything else, they are solid value for money."

"I just wanted to send you a message to say how fantastic Alba Ceilidh Band were at our party on Saturday night - a large number of our guests (quite a lot of whom are musicians) commented on how good the band were. And they couldn't have been friendlier or more accommodating with the way the evening ran. Thanks again - we would definitely recommend this band to friends and family."

"The Laurels were a pleasure to deal with from start to finish - polite, efficient and professional. Many of our guests commented on how great they were and what a beautiful voice Lucy has. All in all, I had no desire or budget for live music but we are so happy that we discovered and booked them, they made our drinks reception complete! "
