"Dan was great all night, interacted really well with the group and his performance really set the tone for the evening. We had a mix of age groups which Dan catered as well as playing requests from the group. I would recommend Dan for any event, great musician and a really nice person."

"Luciano was amazing his performance just made the event so special - his repertoire was varied and current and appealed to every one - I would not hesitate to recommend him for any type of event. He is such a nice person very professional, flexible and approachable. I want to wish him every success - Luc you deserve to make it big - but I would hope to book you again before you have your first concert at the 02 :) Thanks again and keep doing what you do so well. xx "

"Joe performed an acoustic set during the welcome drinks at our wedding on 1st June and it was perfect to avoid any pre dinner lull. Our guests (and of course us!) all loved him and we have heard nothing but rave reviews and compliments. Joe’s voice is honestly amazing and his performance was completely flawless! I am in awe of how talented one person can be! Thank you so much! We would highly, highly recommend. "

Until next time Lee! You’re awesome!"

"Robin played at our wedding on the 6th April at Crossbasket Castle and to say he was 5 star would be an understatement. Robin played from an hour before the wedding as our guests arrived; he piped Elaine down the aisle and us both back; he played during the drinks reception and then finally he piped us in to the reception. So many of our guests commented about Robin and how excellent he was and how he contributed hugely to a really great wedding for us and our guests. From the point we started talking to Robin about playing at our wedding he was incredibly helpful with choice of Kilt to wear and a host of suggestions of tunes to play, Overall, we cannot speak highly enough of Robin who is totally professional but also so friendly and engaging. He features a lot in the videos and photos of both the official photographer and videographers but also of all our guests We thoroughly recommend him. "

"We were hosting the drinks reception for a charity ball we were attending and Martin was fantastic! From start to finish the whole experience with Martin was seamless and he really understood what we were trying to achieve with his music. Would highly recommend and would love to use Martin again for future events. Thanks again."

"Avoid this woman. We paid her £380 to play for an hour and a half in the woods during our wedding ceremony and drinks reception on Saturday 10th August, 2019. She played for half an hour before the ceremony and then wouldn’t play the remaining hour because she claimed the conditions weren’t appropriate. Her reasons are as follows... her fingers were too cold (it was 20 degrees) and a small branch fell on the wedding celebrant who was no way near Cecily (the celebrant carried on like a profession, I hasten to add). I asked Cecily for the money for the hour back and she refused. I therefore, am going to be looking into what legal action to take as I am not happy paying £380 for someone to play for half an hour! Cecily ruined our wedding day so don’t book her... she could ruin yours, too! "

N/B: Please note this booking was private and not through Last Minute Musicians. If it had, then the LMM contract would have made clear that the musician reserves the right to protect their instruments (and themselves) if the working environment become unreasonable or dangerous. On this day the MET office had issued a yellow warning for gale force winds and the weather conditions were a cause for concern. The wedding took place in a wood and as well as the celebrant being hit on the head by a falling branch, a much larger branch fell inches away from my harp after the ceremony. It is always difficult and upsetting to have to make the decision that it is unreasonable to continue playing when it is somebody's wedding day. I did, in fact, manage to play for 1/2 an hour before the ceremony and during the ceremony itself. When it was clear after the ceremony that there was no available option of moving inside, and after much consultation with ushers and friends of the couple, I made the decision that it was no longer a safe environment to work for me or the harp. I was assured by those I spoke to that the bride and groom would understand. The cold was a factor (high winds make the temperature feel much colder, and I would like to add several guests did put on their coats. I was also kindly offered a jacket) but not the reason for having to curtail this booking after 1 hour of playing. It is sometimes possible to deal with the ill effects of playing in the cold but the issue here was the lack of back up plan when the weather made the working environment dangerous. Nobody should be expected to work in an unsafe environment or put their extremely expensive and delicate instrument (as well as themselves) at risk when their livelihood depends on it. I would hope that having managed to play before and during the ceremony (and before the couple departed for photographs) that the decision made did not ruin anyone's wedding day. Naturally I am saddened when anyone feels dissatisfied with the service provided and I have never had a negative response to my performance at a wedding before. With best wishes, Cecily

"Excellent, We asked Joe to sing on a couple of recordings, so this was not your usual gig. Joe was enthusiastic, helpful and professional throughout. He really went beyond what was required, a great guy to have around."

"We are now back from our honeymoon spa trip so we are slowly getting round to messaging people, but we just wanted to say a MASSIVE THANK YOU to the both of you for being so amazing on our wedding day! Your music was absolutely incredible and created such a great and relaxed vibe at the drinks reception, wedding breakfast and evening reception! We've had so many compliments from our guests about how great you both were! I'll forever be recommending you guys!"

"Tom was punctual with his timings and gave a great performance. With many original versions of well known hits that Tom had 'made his own' to the delight of the guests. Many of our disco song requests were even played live during his sets, an added bonus!! Tom possesses a great range of material and this ensured that there was something to get guests of all ages onto the dance floor at one point or another. All in all Tom gave a superb performance and I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone thinking of booking his considerable talent."

"Sue played solo piano for us during our wedding reception. She created a happy, gentle, stress-free vibe, and played requests for several of our guests. I would recommend her 100%."

"Such an easy person to communicate with pre event. Blended with the guests and many commented about her skills. Emily thought outside down the box turning up in a bright red dress to compliment the Spanish theme of my party. Highly recommend."
