Review Centre: Sax & DJ / Musician & DJ

"Carlo flew out to Italy for our wedding and absolutely smashed it. From the moment he started playing, you could feel the energy lift — it just added that extra spark you don’t get with standard playlists. What we loved most was how natural everything felt. He wasn’t just stood in one place playing, he was properly part of the day — walking around, interacting with guests, and building the atmosphere without ever feeling over the top. The transition into the evening was seamless too. Once the DJ kicked in and Carlo joined in on sax, it completely transformed the party. It went from relaxed wedding to full-on celebration, and the dance floor stayed busy all night. Also worth saying he was super easy to deal with in the lead-up, especially with it being a destination wedding. Everything was smooth, no stress at all. If you’re getting married abroad and want something that really stands out, Carlo is 100% the right choice."

"What a star Dan was throughout the whole process. So flexible, helpful and extremely responsive. It my first experience of booking a musician like this and the whole process has been great, with communication from Encore along the way too. Couldn’t fault any aspect of both the process and the service! Will definitely be back ?? ? ? "

"Kevin recently played at my daughter’s 21st Birthday party. The party was in the garden with around 50 guests and his music really gave a special atmosphere to the evening. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed it and I would certainly book him again for a future event and would highly recommend you do too! Thank you Kevin for making the evening perfect. Karen "

"Just wanted to say a big thank you for your fantastic performances at our Charity Gala Dinner last night! You were absolutely brilliant and so talented, your music really added something extra special to the atmosphere – bringing all the good vibes 😊 We’ve had some fantastic feedback from guests about the evening and your performances! We’re so pleased to say that we’ve raised over £21,000 (still counting!) – and your contribution helped make that possible. Thanks again for being such a great part of the night – we hope to have the chance to work with you again soon!"

"This is my first review I’ve ever left, and it most certainly needed. Mark, played at my wedding throughout the day and night, and just was absolutely outstanding, all my guests complemented on what a great job Mark done. He was very polite to myself and the guests, he kept a great vibe all day and night. At our evening party, Mark kept the great atmosphere going along side our Dj Jon Lowe. Mark, thank you so much for helping me and my wife and guests make some special memories. A true gent, thank you. "

"We want to extend a very big thank you to Cornel for performing at our wedding. His performance was brilliant and created a wonderful ambiance. He went above and beyond, learning some Australian songs as a number guests had traveled from Australia. We received many complements and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him."

"Where do I begin ? I messaged kevin about by wife’s birthday party and he replied almost instantly. We agreed a price the he asked for any special requests. My wife is a huge Billy Ocean fan so I asked if he could play that which he did brilliantly, my next request was fro Penny Lover by Lionel Richie as it was the first song we danced to, again great. Also on his rest period he played Billy Ocean songs on his P A. He was brilliant the whole time he was here having a laugh and a joke with our guests. First party after lockdown and Kevin made it a great party. My love of the saxophone never stops. All in all a great saxophonist and a lovely man. If you want a saxophonist book Kevin ?????? I don’t normally leave reviews but had to for kevin. He’s definitely the man to have."

"I hired Madhu to perform at my 40th birthday garden party and she absolutely smashed it. Had so many of my friends say how brilliant she was. Madhu was in contact with me a couple of times after I hired her to make sure she understood the vibe of the party and how many guests etc so that she could plan the perfect playlist, and that's exactly what she delivered. Will recommend and would definitely use her again at future parties. 5 stars to Madhu xx"
