"Hi Rachel, just wanted to say a huge thank you for making our wedding amazing! All our guests commented on how beautiful the duo sounded, you helped make our day elegant, and special. We loved the eclectic mix of modern and classical, and we had your CD playing throughout our wedding breakfast also, couldn't recommend you highly enough. "

"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!!!"

"Thank you all very much for coming to play at The Royal Thames last evening – the music was excellent – as was the address and grace – thank you Stuart for helping us out on that too!  And Jill you were amazing to keep control of such an unruly bunch – the older ones as well as the young – and stop it descending into chaos!!  Everyone thoroughly enjoyed themselves and it made a very happy evening with families and age groups.  I think certain people may find it difficult to get up for work this morning!"

"Latina Festivale put on a beautiful performance for us at The Northcote. They delivered a versatile set ranging from relaxing tunes to upbeat lively tunes. Keys, percussion & vocals, all spectacular. They did an amazing job of reading the crowd and creating the perfect energy for the pub. We have never had so many people dancing! I highly recommend Latina Festivale."

"Absolutely amazing. They seamlessly arrived, set up and then played a brilliant acoustic set on the deck of our boat. This was followed by another perfect transition into an evening performance which was packed full of fun and energy. They kindly learned and performed a terrific cover of our first dance song, which couldn't have been better. The evening finished with a top notch dj set with all the songs we love. An absolutely class act and could not recommend highly enough for your wedding. Thank you so much!"

"Nicola and Laura played for my wedding (both cellists), at the ceremony, reception and wedding breakfast. String Musicians have made it so easy and stress free for myself, during the planning and also on the wedding day. Once I told them what I wanted for the music (from the style of music to specific pieces), I did not need to worry about anything else. They worked with the registrar from the council to coordinate cues during the ceremony, so the transition between music pieces was seamless. Many guests commented how well they played throughout the day! Thank you!"

"We hired Mark & Carrie to perform at a 40th birthday celebration and we lost count of the number of party goers who said they would love to see them again and would hire them in future. We would have no hesitation in doing the same. They are unique and fantastic."
