Last Minute Musicians Reviews

"Not only is Natalia the most talented accordionist I've ever met, she is a remarkable human being and it was an honour to have her play at our wedding. She personalised the day for us, not only playing her complex and beautiful repertoire featuring the likes of our favourite accordionist, Yann Tiersen, but she also played (upon request for our rather strange ceremony) a few 'lesser-known' accordion 'classics': 'Home on the Range' and 'Jerusalem.' I will never forget hearing her begin to play 'La Valse d'Amelie' as I began my wedding procession into the meadow where I would marry my husband. She has a perfect presence when she plays, our guests loved her, and she truly made that day special for us. She was also very happy to have a drink with me in advance to chat about the wedding and get to know me. When we met I realised she is an absolutely lovely, glowing spirit who is always thinking of others. I'm so glad we flew her all the way to France for our big day! She was so worth it and we'll never forget her."

"Thank you so much Em Strings for providing these very talented musicians. There was 100+ people in the Church congregation, all of whom commented individually on how they enjoyed the classical performance, and how beautiful and graceful the musicians were. The ensemble set the scene beautifully and yes - the was everything and more I had dreamed of as a bride, they definitely fulfilled my heart's desire to make it a beautiful church wedding ceremony, very fitting for that period church. I pray that I will be able to enjoy that ensemble again over the years with more celebrations. Thank you again for such a breathtaking and awe inspiring performance. "

"John made us all proud the day we followed him whilst walking with the hearse. Truely powerful and uplifting, to be honest I could have followed him into a war zone whilst playing his pipes so gallantly and proudly... It was amazing such a lovely man who braved the freezing temperatures in his beautiful green kilt... From each and every person there one love John such an honour and worth every single penny. Thank you John from me especially and thank you for honouring my mum .. "

"After having had an awful 2022 Matt and I decided to throw a party, we had about 45 people in mind to invite but we wanted a band. I’m always put off by huge ones that you can never really hear the voices and your head and ears ache from the constant boom boom. Finding Alfie on a google search was exciting, they sounded exactly what we were looking for, for our intimate gathering. No problem at all to deal with prior to booking, which was simple and clear, we didn’t know at that time we were in for a treat, wow, the evening was absolutely superb. Alfie and Owens sound is brilliant, you can clearly hear the songs and the music, great vocals, no ear ache, just super super sounds coming from them. The choice of music suited our evening, and the requested songs to play were no problem. They integrated with our guests, some ‘hot’ to handle, and everyone had a fantastic evening, a massive thanks to you guys, it felt like we had friends with us, not a hired in band - and yes, we will see you again! (If you’ll come back that is!)"

"We're so glad we had Sheldon DJ at our wedding. He played every single one of our favourite tunes and threw in his own ones which blended perfectly with what we wanted. His mixing was seamless and he kept people of all ages on the dancefloor from the 1st track to the last. He is a great guy and very easy to work with. If you want a wicked DJ for your party, then Sheldon is your man!"

"I would like to say how absolutely delighted I was with the musical entertainment Emmett provided at my partners surprise birthday party. He is a very accomplished musician and played a range of popular songs including a number I had requested. This contributed significantly to the great atmosphere for this very important occasion and I received a lot of positive comment from all those who attended. In addition to that Emmett is a really nice guy who was really easy to get along with, and I would recommend him to anyone looking for an excellent guitarist and singer. "

"Jaya and Sarah played at our church wedding on the 29th August 2015. They were perfect. All our guests commented on how lovely there music was and how talented they both our. They are both really nice people too and put up with me emailing countless questions before our big day. They played every song that we wanted and more. I cannot reccommend the chapel hill duo enough. Just amazing thankyou so much guys. x"
