"Lee made our day pure class. From the moment he arrived to set up he put us at our ease & we realized what a professional Lee was/is. It was great to hear him playing in the hotel lobby while our guests arrived, he played the perfect mix of songs we’d asked to be included. He was great during the ceremony & for the drunks reception afterward. Everyone loved his playing & his friendly approach to everyone who chatted to him. We could not recommend him enough to anyone who would be thinking of hiring him. We’re now just thinking of other occasions within the family where we’d love Lee to play."

"We booked Jim to play at our wedding on recommendation and we were not disappointed. The music was perfect and really complemented our ceremony. Jim is a true professional and we have already passed his details on to my cousin, who is getting married later this year. "

"Yasmin got to the church before we did set up and played for our guests before the wedding had started and everyone and I mean everyone including the priest said it was the most beautiful playing they had heard she made our day magical she played songs and hymns which where not the simplest of requested and she absolutely smashed them she is an amazing person and id recommend her to anyone and everyone. She played my dad's song and he passed away a few years ago and she made it just feel so incredible if we ever renew our vows ill definitely be using her"

"We booked Andrew for our wedding after deciding that we wanted keyboard piano in the background. From start to finish Andrew was great and discussed with us the different options for the day, it couldn’t have been easier! The wedding itself was perfect the songs we picked sounded amazing in the venue. The guests commented on how lovely the sound was in the background during the ceremony and meal. If you are looking for talent and attention to detail then Andrew is the musician for you. Thanks again."

"We booked Lucinda to sing at my husband’s 40th birthday party and I don’t think I can write a review positive enough to give her justice for how incredibly fabulous she was! From the ease of the booking process…so personal, patient and warm…to the insanely magnificent performance at the party. It’s still what everyone talks about, the amazing singer! I can’t recommend her talent enough. "

"We booked Nia for our summer western themed party. She had a huge remit of songs and was able to match her set to our theme. Thank you Nia, you were great to work with. "

"Tamilla gave an excellent performance at our wedding. The piece of music we requested was very unusual ( November rain by Guns n Roses) and she had never performed it before but she devised her own version of it and did a great job. All of the wedding guests ( and ourselves) were very impressed. She also dealt with us in a highly professional yet friendly and open way."

"I just wanted to say thank you so much for arranging for Philippa to play at our wedding last week. She was amazing. We have had so many lovely comments from our family and friends regarding her music - she really did add a beautiful atmosphere to our special day. I was saying to my mum earlier today that we need to arrange something else so we can have Philippa back to play! It was lovely meeting Philippa, she was both professional and really friendly - a pleasure to have at our wedding."

"I booked Lucinda for a surprise 60th wedding anniversary gift for two opera connoisseurs at their home. I didn’t know if it would work but I had faith in Lucinda from the outset. Not only does she have an impressive CV and extensive plaudits, she is so professional. Firstly, Lucinda is very passionate - it shows in her superlative organisation, she sought a clear brief and was extremely responsive with communication throughout the booking (which she accepted and confirmed within 2 hours. For Lucinda the ‘customer is king’ insofar as she is very client-focused, openly explained the logistics from her self-sufficiency with audio technology & choice of arias for the performance, and the right presentation and make up for the event. Everything with Lucinda was seamless, engendering my utter trust in her competence and ability. The recipients of this surprise were cagily forewarned by me of a ‘delivery’ which may cause a temporary noise disruption for neighbours. The rest (they say) is history - metaphorically Lucinda’s performance brought the house down! My friends loved their surprise gift, the neighbours enjoyed it too, and apparently a passer-by in a car was so mesmerised he ‘followed the music’ like a Homeric sailor following the song a siren, and invited to stay for the rest of Lucinda’s set. He too was very impressed. Nor did Lucinda dash away after performing, rather she stayed and swapped stories with the happy couple of the opera world. Thank you Lucinda for translating my moment of inspiration (and mischievousness 😉) to life for two very dear friends on their 60th wedding anniversary. 🙏🏽 As lifelong opera fans with experience on the global opera circuit they don’t hand out praise liberally when it comes to opera singers but said “Lucinda’s performance was great”, that she is “extremely talented” and that they and their neighbours were “utterly delighted” by her. It is an understatement to say this was a job well done. Lucinda has given my friends a personalised performance and a marvellous memory of a lifetime together, with her operatic songlist. In achieving the desired note, Lucinda delivered drama, hope, and passion - the stuff of their life together. In doing so she delivered a top quality performance that was well beyond good value - it is priceless. I cannot recommend Lucinda more highly - she has trained in the most prestigious academies, and it shows. I wouldn’t hesitate to book her again and anyone who does can be confident of an outstanding outcome. "
