"Kirsty was absolutely incredible and we’re so glad we booked her for our wedding! Over the last couple of years we’ve been to a number of weddings, none of which had a dance floor you didn’t want to leave, and as a result we were really wary when booking our DJ. We wanted to dance! We had a long list of things that were very important to us and finding someone that really understood our vision was absolutely essential. We’d met with a few DJ’s, none of which were giving us the right ‘vibe’ and then we found Kirsty. We had a phone call with her, during which we discussed every item on our very long list of requirements and she just GOT IT. She made us feel so at ease and reassured us that she understood exactly what we were looking for. My Wife and I both have incredibly varied music tastes which were catered for perfectly by Kirsty! Kirsty is SO organised. She sent us a document detailing everything she needed from us to do her job excellently. One of the items we were very concerned about was our ‘Do Not Play’ list, Kirsty was SO respectful of it from our very first conversation, and we just knew we had nothing to fear. We each made her a playlist, showcasing our individual music tastes, and she was able to blend them together perfectly on the night in a way that not only perfectly suited us, but enticed our guests, of all ages, onto the dance floor. We got married on the longest and hottest day of the year, 34°C and it wasn’t dark until gone 10:30pm but that didn’t matter, her playlist on the night (which she sent a copy of to us post wedding, which we loved) was so perfectly curated, people were dancing from the second she set up until we had to turn the music off. Every song on our ‘Must Play List’ was ticked off at the perfect time throughout the night, she was true to her promise and didn’t allow anybody to make requests (one of our big no-no’s as we’d had Uncles threaten some very questionable song requests leading up to the wedding). My personal favourite part of Kirsty’s set was probably the last half hour, she read the dance floor perfectly banger after banger after banger, and perfectly timed our final song with the music cut off time which made our venue very happy. She also played us out with a little personalised song that everybody loved! We had so many compliments on the music from our guests!! All of her equipment was excellent and set the vibe perfectly, she clearly knows her equipment very well because it took her no time to set up or pack away at the end of the night. Fantastic lights which didn’t do that really annoying thing of nearly blinding you as they spin around the room, a personal pet peeve of mine. Her speakers were excellent and perfectly balanced, not too bass-y and set to the perfect volume to sing your lungs out but not go to bed with a ringing in your ears! She came and said hi as she arrived to check in with us, then said goodbye and had a bit of a chat with us as she packed away at the end of the night, but other than that, she didn’t speak to us whilst playing her set enabling us to fully enjoy ourselves and stay in the moment. Thank you for that! Kirsty is super on top of all of her paperwork, up to date with insurance and PAT tests, which will be required by any venue, so to have that presented to us without needing to ask helped to relieve some of the organisational stress surrounding the wedding. Every time we thought it was probably time to check in with her leading up to the wedding, she’d beat us to it, again, giving us one less thing to remember to do. Honestly, we can’t thank you enough for being so on top of everything and giving us no doubts that we could rely on you ♥ Our only regret is that we didn’t book Kirsty for her acoustic set during the day as she has an incredible voice we wish we’d gotten to hear more of! Thank you so much for all of your help throughout the process, for putting up with our requests and concerns and for making the evening of our wedding an absolutely cracking party!! We’ll be back in touch for our next event!!!"

" We recently booked Steve to play at our wedding at The Great Tythe Barn and from the moment we contacted him he was great. We booked him to play whilst guests were being seated, while the bride walked down the aisle and during our drinks reception. Having Steve play and sing live really made the ceremony extra special. He even learned a song specially for the brides entrance! All of our guests absolutely loved his music during the drinks reception and it really got everyone in the mood. Everyone was very complimentary of Steve, with a number of people asking for his details and I understand that a few guests were even offering to pay him to stay longer and sing during the wedding breakfast too but unfortunately for us Steve had another booking! If anyone is thinking about having a live, acoustic singer at their wedding then we definitely wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Steve!"

"I've seen meg perform at a few performances and even had her play some of our parties. She takes requests, looks fantastic, dispenses and oozes charm. She's the best and I always love hearing her play. "

"We had the pleasure of having Vernon perform at our workplace's Black History Month Jazz Night. During the event planning process, Vernon was really prompt in his communications with us, very accommodating and flexible. He also had a great selection of songs including ones that paid homage to the rich history of jazz music and the contributions of Black artists. During his performance, he was very good at getting the audience engaged and also had a great sense of humour to bring laughter too. Overall, Vernon's performance was a brilliant celebration of Black history through the lens of jazz music. It was a night filled with appreciation for the cultural heritage of the genre. "

"Rich played at our wedding on 20th September 2014 and both Andrea and I were over the moon with the service that Rich provided. Rich is an excellent Piper, but not only that he's very well organised. He sent us our booking form well in advance to make sure we both knew exactly what we wanted him to do on the day, and on the day he was there within plenty of time. He knows exactly what to do and just got on with what he does best. Rich is very professional and this really comes through in the way that he operates his business. It really was 'the icing on the cake' and added something extra special for our wedding day. Thanks Rich, we will certainly be recommending you to our network."

The variety of songs that Will offers is huge, our little girl especially loved the Disney songs! Will was definitely the highlight of our event, everyone commented on how great he was. We have asked Will to play at our wedding! Thanks, Will ?"
