"With her beautiful voice and piano playing, Alex created the perfect atmosphere at our wedding reception. Alex crafted a set list with songs across the decades and music genres, which meant there was something for everyone. She captured the moment and excitement of the day with her captivating performance. Alex is a true professional who we will be recommending to our friends. "

"‘We celebrated our golden wedding anniversary in the pioneer wine bar last Friday 23rd March, what can I say Chris G was our entertainer for the evening and WOW he was AMAZING he was so caring making sure the night was about our golden wedding. What a singer – one of our friends had his back to him and thought it was a record. Thank you for making our night fantastic. Maureen and Bob xx"

"Had Steve and Milka perform for us at our wedding July 2025. WOW what a performance and sound they produced and created a fantastic atmosphere which was a great start to our fantastic day. Both Steve and Milka were very engaging professional and accomplished. Communicating with Steve from my initial enquiry to our communication a week or so before our wedding to finalise the play list was excelllent. Steve’s guidance on what would work for them in terms of arrangement for the piano and violin was invaluable. All of our guests thought their performance in its entirety was excellent. I would thoroughly recommend their hiring to perform at your wedding or any other event that you want to have professional musicians performing on the piano and violin as a duet. Thank you Steve and Milka"

"My mum is a big Rod Stewart fan so for her birthday we decided to book a 'Rod' to come and sing at the birthday meal we were having with all of her friends. Paul is a complete professional, he did everything he could to make it special for my mum. He looked like Rod, sounded like Rod and is a great entertainer. I would recommend Paul to anyone looking for an entertainer who is genuinely a very nice person."

"Sophie’s connection to music is deep and undeniable. Her music and words range from deep and powerful to fun and light, with warm and inviting folky tones. I find her a joy to listen to and feel that her accomplished musicianship reflects her spirit- heartfelt, skilful, passionate and free."

"We were 100% satisfied with using Last Minute Musicians! The entire process was easy and the booking fees were made very clear right from the beginning. The musician agents were incredibly accommodating, listening to exactly what type of musician we were after and made sure to provide quick responses to any requests. The musician they recommended was Becky Shell and we were blown away by how enchanting her performance was. She was a true professional, arriving on time and made our wedding reception so special. We would happily use this service again"

We hope you all enjoyed yourselves too :-) Thanks again for everything."
