Review Centre: Wedding Musicians

"Olivia played the viola at our wedding during our ceremony whilst the guests were being seated and whilst I walked down the aisle. We had songs that were special to us that we asked Olivia to perform for us, (Harry Styles - Adore You, REM - One I Love, Nirvana - Come As You Are) including blending 2 songs together. The performance was perfect and everything we could’ve have hoped for. Communication throughout the wedding planning was excellent and with the songs we sent over Olivia was able to send us demo performances really quickly and kept us in the loop at every stage. This ensured we had one less thing to worry about on the day. I absolutely would recommend Olivia and can’t thank her enough for her being part of our special day and making our ceremony magical, thank you!"

"I booked Mark to play a couple of sets during the drinks reception at our wedding. We booked and talked a bit about the vibe we were looking for and Mark was happy to be flexible to what we wanted. We gave him an idea of what we were looking for and that was more than enough for him to deliver a perfect set. We were both swept away a bit on the day and it's regretful that I didn't get a chance to speak to Mark at all. He arrived and set up while I was having photos, and I returned to the drinks reception to find exactly the vibe we had asked for. People were having fun, drinking and playing lawn games and Mark was playing in the background. It added so much to this part of the day and really brought a special something to the atmosphere and there were plenty of guests who agreed and commented on it. We had a bit of an entrance into the venue to tend to after the reception and by the time that was done, he had packed up and quietly exited. I apologised to him afterwards that I didn't get chance to say hello or goodbye but it was not a problem. He said he didn't want to come and take us out of a conversation with a loved one to say goodbye which I thought was really thoughtful. He was completely selfless, arrived and departed so quietly and clearly very sensitive to it being our big day. He was brilliant from start to finish and many guests commented, not only on how great he is as a musician, but also how professional he was. If you are considering doing something similar, I would definitely recommend him."

"Through the 11 years that I have known Rory both as a friend and colleague, I have found him to possess many excellent qualities. He is extremely organised and pays close attention to detail. I have worked in his band Latina Carnivale since 2013 and found him to be very efficient in running his production company [management]. The events are always diligently co-ordinated with all the operational info sent out well in advance, so we always know what to expect. I have found Rory to be very reliable and always keeps his word. I think he would be a great asset to any music or arts organisation. He has a wealth of knowledge to impart to peers from his years of music-making. His approach is fun and engaging whilst bringing lots of ideas to the table."

"I invited Slav to join the horn section for the Father John Misty concert in Warsaw. He prepared all the numbers proffessionally and performed spotlessly. I definitelly recommend him."

"Georgia is a very fine guitarist and has a great voice which is warm and appealing. Georgia is an excellent solo performer who can deliver a great 'unplugged' style performance anywhere around the vessel. She delivers 100% on every performance and interacts brilliantly with her audience both on and off stage. Georgia knows how to read a room well, and has an extensive repertoire of songs to choose from, all of which are popular hits that are favorites amongst our guests. Her charismatic personable demeanor creates a great vibe in the room and really engages the audience. Georgia has an excellent voice with a wide vocal range and quality that suits many different song styles, plus she uses loops very effectively to fill out her sound and give her freedom to interact more with her audience without having to worry about constantly supporting her vocals with the guitar. Thank you !"

"I would 100% recommend hiring Matt for your wedding. He was extremely professional in the run up to the wedding, getting in touch to answer all our questions promptly and speaking to the venue himself to arrange logistics. On the day, Matt made our Christmas wedding extra special and festive! He played during our drinks reception and wedding breakfast and was absolutely incredible, weaving in all our requests and putting on a wonderful show for us and our guests. We had numerous guests (and even venue staff members) come up to us and say how wonderful he was and how much they enjoyed hearing him play. Even though he played for more than 3.5 hours in total, some people hadn't had enough and were asking us whether he'd stay for the evening! He'll be an incredible addition to your day if you choose to book him "

"We were contacted by Andrew Elliott who expressed a keen interest in assisting with any of our Help for Heroes Challenges. We are always on the lookout for experienced musicians and so we invited Andrew to join us on our H4H Jubilee Challenge – a trek to light a beacon at the summit of Ben Nevis to celebrate the Queens Diamond Jubilee. Our team of fundraisers were delighted that Andrew was able to join us, he was very easy going and friendly, and everyone commented on how fantastic his impromptu performances were as they trekked up the mountain. He was even happy to perform requests for the passing general public! As the sun was beginning to set, several trekkers were becoming fatigued and starting to slow down. They were delighted to hear Andrew piping from just over the hill; it spurred everyone on and put them in great spirits to reach the summit. Once at the top, Andrew piped while the beacon was being lit – it was a truly spectacular moment which no-one at the summit will ever forget. Andrew is clearly very passionate about his work and this shines through when you watch him perform. We would be delighted to invite him to any other Help for Heroes events in the future. "

"Sonia played to a packed and appreciative house at St Ives Jazz Club with two thoughtfully considered and slickly performed sets of songbird standards, mingled with the occasional more modern classic from the likes of Randy Crawford and even Sting. The band accompany Sonia with a suitably understated groove, giving this blossoming vocalist plenty of space, but impress when it’s called for with some fine solo and ensemble instrumental play – all very solid musicians, making this band an impressive and satisfying unit!"

"Sugar Hit played at our wedding in August this year and they were absolutely amazing! We’d given up on finding a band as I’m quite fussy, but found Sugar Hit by chance on my hen do in The London Inn, Stamford. They were musically brilliant live and were also such good fun and had amazing energy and stage presence. We loved all the songs, a real mixture of pop but with a punky twist. At both my hen do and our wedding, the whole dance floor were dancing all night; it made the atmosphere at the wedding electric! They were also very reasonably priced and relatable. Thank you!"
