Review Centre: Wedding Musicians

"I just wanted to write to say thank you so very much for your wonderful performance on Friday! I’m sure you were aware just how much our members enjoyed themselves. The question “can you get them back?” was repeated to me countless times and I promised I would pass on the members appreciation."

"We had Stephen in on a Saturday night and it was great to see someone who can really sing- and play guitar as well which is a bonus! We had plenty of young and older customers up dancing when he was performing, whereas at the same certain part of the night they'd be up and leaving with 'usual' acts we've had in. Absolutely will keep in mind for future dates, a pleasure to have in on the weekend. Cheers Stephen."

"James and I just wanted to say a big thank you to you for coming all the way down to Creeksea Place to play for us at our wedding. You played beautifully and so many guests commented on what a lovely idea it was and how moved they were hearing you play. I remember first hearing you play as I made my way round the outside of the walled garden with my Dad. I said to my Dad, ‘I think I am going to cry’ as I got so caught up in the emotion of it all. I managed to hold it together as we walked down the aisle! The day went so quickly for James and I. There were so many things to see and so many people to chat too, in such a short space of time. We cannot wait to see the video to live it all again and catch up on anything we missed."

"Paddy K played at our summer party last weekend and he was absolutely brilliant! We had a hugely enjoyable evening and he was fantastic at creating a wonderful atmosphere that included all ages on the dance floor. We very much hope Paddy will play for us again!"

" Emma rescued us at such short notice for my friend's wedding. She was polite and very communicative. She played beautifully and was happy to do requests on the night too. Can't thank her enough, the Brides loved every minute!!"

"James performed at our wedding and was absolutely fantastic. He received so many compliments from our guests and the venue staff. He learnt two of our favourite songs and added his own style to them, making them better! He is extremely talented and was a highlight of our day, we cannot recommend him enough. Thank you James!"

"Apologies for my late reply. Amy Hawthorn attending our event last Saturday and she was fantastic! The feedback on her from the people whom attended was excellent. Thank you for arranging the booking. Amy was both a pleasure to deal with and to listen too."

"What an absolutely fantastic night. I knew you would be a good band from your video, but you were even better than that! Brilliant music with lots of energy. Thank you so much for making Jessica and Andrew’s wedding one of the best days of their lives. Jessica said to me half way through that the dancing was exactly what she had wanted. She was very happy. Unfortunately Roger missed the two of them playing - but we have a great photo - attached. It was a long way to come so I hope you got back OK and I hope you enjoyed it as much as we did. We had lots of compliments about you"

"Soul Debonair was a great entertainer. Everyone had a lovely time and commented on how fantastic he was. He interacted with the audience which went down very well. We were very impressed with the whole evening and would very much like to have him back at some date"

"The musician was really talented however did not play the music requested so killed the entire vibe of the party. It was a party and we requested upbeat music alongside DJ but she used her own speaker and mellowed tunes... everyone obviously left the dance floor at this point and had to remind her of the request. She struggled with our requirements despite us being very specific on booking and even noted specific times on contract booking, did not fulfil contract and waste of £550"

Dear Hayley Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback regarding your recent event. I take all reviews seriously, as they help me improve my services, and I appreciate the opportunity to address some inaccuracies in your comments. The full fee you paid was £459, I understand that you felt the music selection did not align with the upbeat atmosphere you envisioned. However, I want to clarify that I arrived well-prepared with a curated playlist that included the specific tracks you requested, such as "Rebel Music" and "Ibiza Classics." Additionally, during our initial conversation, I offered to incorporate lively pop songs like "Havana," "Rather Be," and "Cheerleader" to enhance the party vibe. I left out your request to play Andrew Lloyd Webber/Starlight Express as I felt it didn’t align with the style of your event. Regarding the DJ sound levels, these were extremely loud throughout. I strive to maintain an enjoyable volume throughout my performances. While you noted that the dance floor, it was empty upon my arrival and throughout the ibiza classics with DJ last 30 minute set. I appreciated the positive feedback from many guests which indicates we’re enjoying my performances. As the event progressed, I was attentive to your requests, including the unexpected addition of a dhol drummer for the second set. I performed the "Morni" provided the Bollywood track to the DJ and performed alongside the DJ and which successfully energised the dance floor. I also addressed the issue with my electric violin volume being turned down by DJ immediately after he received feedback from guest complaining he couldn’t hear it! The booking was to perform 3x 30 minute sets I stayed on the dance floor except two 15 minute breaks and performed throughout the 2 hour duration. I made repeated requests to the DJ to play "Ibiza Classics," in line with your preferences, and I took swift action to address all requests throughout the night. The DJ consistently played track’s that were impossible for a violinist to play over such as Milkshake by Kelis. My goal is always to create memorable experiences for my clients, and I have consistently received positive feedback for over 20 years !
