"We have booked last minute musicians for two years running for our family BBQ. They are absolutely amazing, very professional and most of all they get everyone up on the dance floor even my 92 year old dad, he loves to dance and couldn't help strutting his stuff. We will definitely be booking them again next year for any other events we may have."

"I can thoroughly recommend Sue. She was totally professional, reliable and a very talented musician! She got everyone onto the dance floor and liaised with the DJ to produce a perfect set. The session took the wedding reception to a whole new level. I cannot thank you enough Sue and am looking forward to booking you again in the future."

"My wife fell in love when she heard Jean play Adele at a wedding open day. We promptly hired her for our wedding and she was fantastic. We felt very lucky to have someone of Jean's calibre play for us and our guests. She was also great at helping us decide what to play before, during and after the ceremony. It was one of the easiest and most enjoyable things we organised for the wedding!"

"James played at our wedding on Saturday 22 June and was simply amazing. We got married elsewhere and when we arrived at the farm ready for the reception, James was all set up and ready to go, he started playing in front of the tepee just as everybody got off the bus. It was a magical moment. So may of our wedding guests have said they are trying to think up reasons to host some sort of event so James can come and play. From the initial moment I met with James to go through our song choice, I knew we had the made a great decision in booking him. If you are thinking about booking, just do it. James, we can't thank you enough and hope to meet you again one day."

"Joe is every way awesome, and a really great guy. His music set is fabulous, there is something for everyone. He delivers brilliantly, and gets every audience engaged and involved! He has helped us out numerous times at music festivals down at The Crooked Billet. We strongly recommend him for any occasion!"

"Avoid this woman. We paid her £380 to play for an hour and a half in the woods during our wedding ceremony and drinks reception on Saturday 10th August, 2019. She played for half an hour before the ceremony and then wouldn’t play the remaining hour because she claimed the conditions weren’t appropriate. Her reasons are as follows... her fingers were too cold (it was 20 degrees) and a small branch fell on the wedding celebrant who was no way near Cecily (the celebrant carried on like a profession, I hasten to add). I asked Cecily for the money for the hour back and she refused. I therefore, am going to be looking into what legal action to take as I am not happy paying £380 for someone to play for half an hour! Cecily ruined our wedding day so don’t book her... she could ruin yours, too! "

N/B: Please note this booking was private and not through Last Minute Musicians. If it had, then the LMM contract would have made clear that the musician reserves the right to protect their instruments (and themselves) if the working environment become unreasonable or dangerous. On this day the MET office had issued a yellow warning for gale force winds and the weather conditions were a cause for concern. The wedding took place in a wood and as well as the celebrant being hit on the head by a falling branch, a much larger branch fell inches away from my harp after the ceremony. It is always difficult and upsetting to have to make the decision that it is unreasonable to continue playing when it is somebody's wedding day. I did, in fact, manage to play for 1/2 an hour before the ceremony and during the ceremony itself. When it was clear after the ceremony that there was no available option of moving inside, and after much consultation with ushers and friends of the couple, I made the decision that it was no longer a safe environment to work for me or the harp. I was assured by those I spoke to that the bride and groom would understand. The cold was a factor (high winds make the temperature feel much colder, and I would like to add several guests did put on their coats. I was also kindly offered a jacket) but not the reason for having to curtail this booking after 1 hour of playing. It is sometimes possible to deal with the ill effects of playing in the cold but the issue here was the lack of back up plan when the weather made the working environment dangerous. Nobody should be expected to work in an unsafe environment or put their extremely expensive and delicate instrument (as well as themselves) at risk when their livelihood depends on it. I would hope that having managed to play before and during the ceremony (and before the couple departed for photographs) that the decision made did not ruin anyone's wedding day. Naturally I am saddened when anyone feels dissatisfied with the service provided and I have never had a negative response to my performance at a wedding before. With best wishes, Cecily
