"We booked James to play at our wedding for 130 guests on Saturday. He was amazing! so many comments from our guests, who loved watching and listening to James play. He was incredibly reliable and so adaptable too. We sent him a list of some of our favourite songs and he learnt all of them especially for our big day. We would recommend James to anyone looking for a professional, friendly and great Saxophonist. Nothing was too much for James, he played both outside during the cocktails and canapés and then continued to play to our guests at their tables. A million thanks yous James for making our special day really special."

"We had the pleasure and delight of having Alton Edwards to play at our wedding at Millbridge Court in September 2023. From the time we first heard him play we knew we wanted him at our wedding and to entertain our guests with his great voice, relaxed and chilled vibe and ability to play any song you asked for! We were so busy with pictures and getting around to all our guests we didn't hear enough of his amazing music ourselves but our guests were all singing his praises and were blown away with what they heard and they loved what he added to the day. I can't recommend Alton highly enough. All our dealings with Alton have been extremely professional, friendly and calm - which when planning a wedding is exactly what you need! Alton is a must at any wedding and you definitely won't be disappointed at all!! BOOK Alton Edwards !!! Thank you Alton - you really are fab! The new Cullen family! x"

"Hey Rory. Hope you're doing well mate... Just wanted to give you a quick message just to say thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, so much, for yesterday... The performance you gave at our wedding ceremony was just absolutely amazing. The amount of people who came up to me and said "your saxophonist was just out of this world". Honestly, it was amazing. And we're so grateful that you did such a wonderful job... The fact that you could go on for so long / as long as you did... This is going to sound a bit weird but you have some amazing lungs. So, just wanted to give you a quick note here. I saw an e-mail from you. I will definitely write a review as well. But I just wanted to leave you this quick note to say thank you so much for your performance and you were just absolutely terrific. Well done again. You really made our day. So happy I hired you. I really am. And, who knows? If we ever do another ceremony in the future... I know one of my friends is interested in contacting you, that's for sure. But if I ever do anything and I need a saxophonist, you're right at the top of my list, for sure." "Thanks again for your great performance on Saturday as well as your wonderful comments on our wedding, too.
We are more than happy to leave a review for you especially after the joy you brought us and our guests on mine and Rachel’s special day:
What can we say about Rory, the music he provided throughout our wedding meal was quite simply outstanding! The ability he has not only with a saxophone but with a flute is amazing, he is supremely talented with these instruments and had our guests thoroughly entertained with his seamless performance. For over 2 hours he treated us all to a wonderful playlist of songs, we even joked that he must have the most incredible lungs to be able to go on for such a long time!
We also have to thank Rory for the patience he had in fulfilling our request to perform at our wedding, due to Covid we had to reschedule our wedding 2 times over the course of nearly 2 years since we first booked him so we’re so thankful that he never let us down. We would highly recommend Rory to anyone looking for someone to provide a musical performance at any event, from our experience he’ll provide you with a truly memorable experience that people will always talk about! Again we can’t thank you enough for helping to make our day everything we dreamed of, as we said any other event we do where we need music then we’ll be sure to contact you!
All the best,
Kel & Rachel Married October 2021 "We can only thank you because it was a big part of the wedding, and it was just beautiful how good you were in regards to the saxophone. We are so very, very happy. Hope you are happy, too. We will definitely keep you in mind if we do any other big event, for sure. You will be one of the first names we remember. That's for sure. Hopefully, our paths will cross again soon. Just want to wish you the greatest of luck in all your future endeavours."

"It's as hard to record a piano successfully as it is to play it - so firstly well done in selecting such an attractive range of music - so many favourites, all beautifully executed. But also bravo to your sound engineer and the Old Grannary people..... it's a true skill placing microphones in just perfect positions and balancing them so well: so as to create that lovely tone of yours that I have been enjoying so. Not too closely recorded (dry) nor too distantly either (wet). Perfect, undistorted tone. You must be very pleased and thankful - as we are, hearing this terrific recording of your piano playing. All captured here most successfully. Congratulations! "

"We booked Tony last minute as a surprise for our friends at a big weekend away. He was unbelievably accommodating, even climbing over fences while playing and helping demonstrate some ceilidh steps when we couldn’t remember them. He didn’t bat an eyelid at our fancy dress or specific tune requests either. If I ever have need of a piper again (!) Tony will be top of the list. "

"If you want to see someone who really knows how to use a 'looper' - check this man out - from creating WW1 dog fights through Peruvian mountain scapes to huge choral rock opera - and all with one acoustic guitar - just EPIC !!! "
