"Saw the band at a private event and they were brilliant! Good range of music and everyone was up dancing would definitely book them for any future events. "

"Mira made our 30th Wedding Anniversary party complete. Friends, family and neighbours sang and danced along to all the tracks. Mira compiled a fantastic playlist with all of our preferences, she’s a brilliant musician and I’d recommend you book her."

"Hi Christian, I just wanted to drop you a line to thank you for the most wonderful performance you organised for my Ladies Festival in May. Aside from your professionalism dealing with you prior to the event, I never dreamed that your performance would be THAT good!! The evening you gave us, filled with West-end tunes and film favourites delivered with such energy and excitement is still talked about by our guests. Personally for me, it was tremendous seeing everyone (young and old) on their feet joining in; you anticipated your audience perfectly, and gave us all an unforgettable night! I would not hesitate to recommend you to anyone wishing to bring a little star quality to their evening and would like to take this opportunity to wish you well Christian in all that you do."

"The most amazing music experience for our wedding day, setting the scene as though we were in a fairytale. I cannot recommend Kim and the string quartet enough for how immaculate the music was, and for playing for a considerably large chunk of the day. Of all the elements of the wedding day, we had by far the most comments about how incredible the string quartet were. With such a vast array of music in their repertoire it made it such an enjoyable experience to hear the different songs throughout the day. Thank you for making our wedding day so memorable!"

"On a day of great uncertainty about the weather, it was a pleasure to work with band to make sure our garden party had the right musical ambiance. They found just the right feel for the event, playing with very high standards and finding just the right music. I would be love to hear them again, whether in an informal setting like our party or on stage at a concert hall. "

"The wonderful Harriet provided the music for the ceremony and drinks reception for our wedding. The sound of the harp created the perfect ambience, and Harriet played beautifully! A very talented and professional musician."

"We hired Sam to play the accordion at my uncles 90th birthday. Sam arrived early and we discussed the plan for the session. Sam has a warming personality and was very flexible in supporting the order of songs to be played. We had a great sing-along and Sam was very entertaining. I would highly recommend Sam"

"Nigel is an adept and versatile pianist whose music is hugely appreciated by our audience members both pre-show and during the interval. He always makes the effort to ensure his sets are suited to each show which helps add to the wonderful atmosphere our customers enjoy when they visit us at Milton Keynes Theatre."

"We would highly recommend Emma. She played the harp during the ceremony at our wedding and also played the violin for when I walked down the aisle. She has a huge repertoire and also accommodated a specific request that we had. Lots of our guests commented on how much they enjoyed the music. Thank you Emma!"

"Very professional - good music choices and coped with several random requests. Prepared to stay on a bit longer and so gave good value for money. Booking process easy."

"We booked these guys for our wedding in May 2022 and in one word they were AMAZING!!! (apologies for the delayed review guys.. having technology problems) We wanted a ceilidh dance for a part of the night along with more modern and 'traditional' wedding wedding party songs later on, and to be honest we were struggling to find any groups that 'fit the bill. Then we found Ceilidh With Us. Right from the first contact we knew it was going to just what we wanted and all throughout the process they were so helpful, from organising the timetable of the evening, to working with our song lists and making it all fit together to create one hell of a fantastic night. Lilac performed our first dance song amazingly, we couldn't have been happier, and the ceilidh went down a storm (even if we all struggled with the dashing white sergeant - if you know you know). In short I can not recommend these guys more highly. You will not regret hiring them."

"Jon was AMAZING! He made our wedding perfect and everyone commented on how amazing he was. We asked Jon to sing before the ceremony, during the drinks reception and during the wedding breakfast and we cannot fault him. He had people singing along and dancing in their chairs. At one point he had all the guests singing along to 'Hey Jude'!! We're not sure that was what he was expecting but he loved it all the same! Everyone had such an amazing time and enjoyed Jon so much that there was outrage when he finished and after a few pleas from many a guest, we were fortunate enough to have him continue his set a little longer. One family friend loved him so much that he wants to know if he would just come and sing for him in his garden!! We suggested that he buy Jon's CD instead! We cannot thank Jon enough for his performance at our wedding. It truly was fantastic. He is extremely talented, has a beautiful voice and had the crowed eating out of his hand! We would also like to say a special thank you for learning a song that is not usually on his set list but is one of our favourites. Thank you Jon for making our day unforgettable and perfect." "

"Our father died aged 91 recently and as classical music had been his absolute joy throughout his life, we knew that we had to make it part of his small and very intimate funeral. How lucky (and delighted) we were to find through lastminutemusicians that a professional, Miriam, lives locally and that she would like to be part of this celebration of his long life. Miriam could not have been more helpful or sensitive in helping us to choose and adapt four very special pieces and she played them beautifully, especially as unlike a wedding there was so little time for preparation. We shall never forget the sound of her playing her arrangement for cello of Ralph Vaughan Williams' Five Variants of 'Dives and Lazarus' as my father's coffin was lifted and borne out of the chapel, and continuing to hear it as we followed it to his final resting place. It was the one piece that he had ever mentioned as wishing to include at his funeral, and it meant a huge amount to have it played live by someone who cared very much about her role in the service. He would have loved to have heard it, and who knows, perhaps he did. Our heartfelt thanks, Miriam."
