"Working with Gareth for the second time was even more of a pleasure than the first. He played for our morning service at St Matthew's Surbiton and was totally professional and reliable, with an exuberance to his playing that really livened up the service! He has a fluency and apparent ease at the instrument which would be the envy of many a church organist. He coped expertly with a tricky organ part in a piece of my own which I can't play myself! As always Gareth was meticulously prepared, and is a joy to make music with. I look forward to working with him again in a few weeks' time."

"Yesterday was absolutely perfect you and Ross did the most amazing job on delivering Annie's wishes it was so beautiful, so many people asked me where did you find those two musicians they were all full of compliments for you two, there were many camera supervisors and camera men and women there who all said perfect performance they should know they've filmed everyone"

"We booked Cat for my wedding in June. She was absolutely fantastic - a very skilful, sophisticated, classy and cool singer and pianist. She played during both the wedding ceremony and afterwards during cocktails and canopies and was fantastic. She has the ability to cover both classical and edgy new tunes which is perfect. Everyone at the wedding was impressed."

"James sang at our wedding on Friday 28th July 2017. He was amazing. His voice was fantastic and he sang our first dance brilliantly. We have had such amazing feedback from our guests. We would have no hesitation in recommending James to any couple looking for that something special on their day. Lisa and Paul Knowles"

"Wether he's entertaining a handful of people or several hundred, Phil Richards maintains a commanding stage presence and always gives professional performances of both self-penned numbers and popular covers."

"Thank you Jam Duo for being such a wonderful addition to our very special day. You both were exceptional. We are so grateful we chose you and were able to secure you! Thanks for being part of the most special day of our lives. The ambiance you create is just beautiful. All our guests commented on how gorgeous the music was. Having you play at church was particularly special to us as a couple and I’m so glad we decided to have you throughout the day at our drinks reception and during the wedding breakfast, we would have regretted it if we hadn’t. The piano shell was also a lovely touch we are glad we booked. It truly was the most perfect day start to finish, you’re both very talented and gifted. Just wanted you both to know. Many thanks Charlotte and Matt x If you’re fortunate to get this duo for you wedding it will be the best decision you make."

"The very first time we heard Gemma Ashley sing, she performed "In the Arms of an Angel" on a YouTube channel. We absolutely loved her voice and knew she would be the ideal singer for our Christmas wedding in 2022, and we were so fortunate that our wedding date suited her diary. Little did we know, then, that Gemma would - in a metaphorical sense - come to provide those very angelic, reassuring arms for us on our wedding day, as we were faced with a number of unexpected challenges (including train strikes, snow chaos, and traffic delays). It all added to the stresses of the day, particularly for the bridal party, who were not sure they would even make it to wedding in time. However, the moment we entered the Church and were met by Gemma's soaring aria as she performed her opening song to the Groom ("Nella Fantasia"), any worries and anxieties magically disappeared. Instead, a wonderful sense of calm and serenity descended - like arms of an angel - where Gemma's song, accompanied on the piano by amazing Paolo Freitas, literally transported us to a breathtakingly beautiful, almost etheral, space in time. From that point, everything fell into place, and Gemma became our guiding light and steadfast beacon for the rest of the day and evening. Not only was she our amazing soprano for our wedding ceremony, singing five songs in four different languages (Italian, Latin, Portuguese and English!), but she single-handedly provided the full musical entertainment for our wedding reception, covering everything from Depeche Mode to Abba - and even led the wedding party in a surprise Les Miserables flash mob! We are indebted to Gemma for making our wedding day the huge and unforgettable success that it was; her work ethic and professionalism is second to none, and her warmth, great sense of humour and generosity of spirit is something we will never forget. We feel we did not just hire a singer for our special day, but a true artist who engaged everyone with her presence and creative performance, and who has become a friend for life. We cannot recommend Gemma enough. She will bring joy and light and life-time memories to any special events, giving 110% until the very moment the lights go out for the night. Perhaps the greatest testament to the lasting effect that Gemma had on our wedding day was when the Priest himself leaned over and whispered to us during the ceremony: "Where did you find this singer? She is fantastic." We would only like to add that choosing this lovely young woman to sing at our wedding, and at the reception, was one of the best, if not the best, decision, that we made when arranging our wedding. Thank you so much, Gemma. We love you xxx."

"Bradley Edery played a wonderful ‘Vintage Vegas’ (circa 1950’s) set in the Main Bar Area for the annual Waitrose Supplier Gala Dinner in support of Grocery Aid. He created exactly the atmosphere we were looking for and we hope to work with him again in the future."
