"Thank you for playing yesterday. I got so many compliments - It was simply perfect. I am sorry however I didn’t even get a chance to say hello and thank you but it was such a surreal day and the day flew by. But from the bottom of my heart - thank you for making my special day perfect. "

"Can I say how wonderful the performance was! The bride wept at the surprise of the music being played as she entered the reception. The musicians were charming and the music superb. It was the best decision I made for the day and fitted so well with the vibe of the day."

"My wife and I recently booked Billy to play at our 40th Wedding Anniversary Party . Billy and his lovely wife Anita arrived on time. We appreciated how much they both understood how stressful readying for the arrival of 40 guests at our home could be. Billy quickly got changed and in his no 1 highland outfit complete with feather bonnet, he looked magnificent. Billy stood and played at the front of our house while guests arrived. He has a large repertoire of tunes and was easily able to include our specific requests in his performance. Later he played in our garden while guests mingled. The sound of Billy playing the bagpipes was an absolute joy and many of our friends (both Scots and English commented on the quality of his playing). Billy and his wife are a lovely couple, skilled at socialising without being over intrusive. We would highly recommend Billy to anyone who wanted to add something extra special to an already special occasion."

"Tamilla played at our wedding and was fantastic. We mostly chose songs from her repertoire but we did also have a few requests for her to play modern songs that weren't listed including a very obscure song from the Final Fantasy XX game. Somehow she managed to find a backing track and played the song beautifully during our register signing. The only reason we haven't given 10 stars is because we had a couple of little hiccoughs earlier in the year regarding a mix up with contracts/deposits and slow communication the month before the wedding (although this was because of health issues with Tamilla's family so was just bad luck on our part timing-wise). Otherwise, we would certainly recommend Tamilla as she's an amazing violinist and comes at a fair price."

Hi Justine, thank you for recognizing the quality of my performance on your wedding day, I did try very hard to find and rehearse the music you requested. As you have mentioned, two members of my immediate family had joint replacement operations within a week of each other, and I was a bit slow in replying, for which I apologized, but I think I have more than made up for any hiccups in communication by staying longer than the agreed contract and playing for your drink reception voluntarily and without being asked. I wish you all the best in the future. Tamilla

"Rachel sang at our wedding in April and was an absolute superstar. Having booked her at relatively short notice, she was prompt and professional during email correspondence, which was sometimes complicated due to time difference as we are based in Melbourne, Australia. On our big day, she exceeded our expectations and we received excellent feedback from guests, many of whom were from overseas. Rachel sang Ave Maria and Pie Jesu during the signing of the register. In short, we would thoroughly recommend Rachel to anyone considering her for their own ceremony and wish her all the best for the future. Thank you Rachel! Best wishes, Neil and Catherine Edelston.

"A rather belated very big thank you to you for your superb playing on Saturday night and for quietly getting on with ‘the job’. Mike in his opening lines of his little speech did thank you for your’ splendid playing’ and wished you obrigado. We both received so many compliments about having a harpist and how unusual it was , but how very calming and beautiful. So very many thanks again. Lovely to meet you. Good luck with your career. "

"Billy is a phantastic and outstanding talented young musician we are more than happy to have him as an artist for the big global Ortega Guitars artist family. Billy joint us for this years Frankfurt Music show and left the audience mouth open every time he performed. Due to his young age but straight discipline he is a true model for young people helping to get their attention for making music and hopefully try out and instrument themselves, too. Don’t miss if you have the chance to see Billy live! THOMAS S. / General Manager of Ortega Guitars Germany."
