"...Just before we nip off on our honeymoon we just wanted to say a special thank you to Arianna who we didn't have a chance to thank on the day! The harp complimented our wedding so well and was a beautiful backdrop to the day. Arianna played a real mixture of contemporary and classical music - it added so much interest to the day as we tried to decide which contemporary song she was playing! Arianna's playing just added such a sparkle to the day so thank you.."

"Dear Melissa, Thank you so very much for coming and entertaining us all during our wedding at Luton Hoo last weekend. Everyone is still talking about how fabulous your music and arrangements were and how much they enjoyed the atmosphere you helped to create. Marianne and I can’t thank you or praise you enough. Take care and good luck in everything you do. "

"We booked Dave to play at our wedding and are so glad that we did! Dave played a mixture of older pop classics and also some more modern hits. He really helped to create a great atmosphere and all of our guests commented on how much they enjoyed the performance. Thank you Dave!"

"Sam recently played the trumpet at my father’s funeral. I discovered Sam on this site by searching on the internet and was delighted with his quick and friendly response. He was very helpful in both understanding what was required and also in making suggestions as to the appropriate music to use. Sam was very reliable and professional and played with great sensitivity and intent. Although we had never met before, his presence at this occasion enhanced the mood that we were seeking and I know my father would have greatly appreciated his playing as did we."

"Meredith provided music for the ceremony and wedding breakfast for our small wedding in early 2020. Everyone loved the music and it added a really special touch to our day. Hearing Debussy's Arabesque on the harp during the register signing was a special moment for us and made it quite magical. Communication with Meredith beforehand was easy and professional and she was very receptive to our slightly eclectic music choices and went the extra mile to accommodate our requests. I would highly recommend booking Meredith for your next event. "

"I recently hired Billy for my father’s 80th birthday celebration, and the experience was truly memorable. From the first contact communication was excellent, with Billy accommodating all my requests and ensuring everything was arranged smoothly. On the day of the event, Billy arrived punctually and looked very professional in traditional attire, which added to the occasion's sense of grandeur. The performance itself was outstanding. The selection of tunes was perfect, combining a mix of traditional Scottish melodies and personal favourites that resonated with the guest of honour and the attendees. Many tears fell! Just beautiful. Billy’s presence elevated the entire atmosphere of the celebration, creating a nostalgic and celebratory mood that everyone enjoyed. Many guests commented on how the music brought a special touch to the event. Overall, Billy provided a top-notch service, and i would highly recommend him for any occasion requiring a skilled and professional piper. Billy your talent and dedication made my Dad's 80th birthday celebration unforgettable. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. "

"Our memorable day made even more unforgettable due to the fantastic playing of Pipe Major Billy James, who at incredibly short notice provided the most amazing music at our Wedding at Allington Manor in Lincolnshire. Thank you so much."

"Meredith was absolutely fantastic- we can't recommend her highly enough! Good communication up to the day meant we didn't have to worry about a thing. Her music was a pleasure to listen to and she was so easy to work with, being able to move the harp to wherever it was needed and adjust the volume to suit the needs of the people sitting nearby. It was the perfect ambience and suited the mood of the wedding to a tee. We are so happy we found her, thank you again Meredith! :) "

"Hi Melissa, Everyone loved you! And thought you were such an amazing touch of elegance at the wedding. Some are even talking of hiring you :) I will pass on your details with pleasure to them. Thanks again for playing so wonderfully and making our event so memorable."

"What can I say about this man. A true professional. His friendly manner and amazing bagpipe skills are second to none. We got married on August 7th 2021 at Newark Castle and Gardens. My dream had been to have a piper at my wedding with the wedding march to the sound of Highland Cathedral. What an outstanding tune played by an accomplished piper. Being Scottish and wearing an Isle of Skye tartan wedding dress he took my breath away. I'm always proud to be Scottish but my wedding day was beyond my dreams. Thank you Billy for attending our wedding and making my dream come true. Would recommend you to anyone in a heartbeat xx"
