"Lizzy played at our son’s wedding a few days ago and it was absolutely fabulous. Hearing the harp music whilst waiting for the bride and again as the ceremony concluded added a real elegant touch to the day. My son and new wife particularly liked it when Lizzy played their special song as the ceremony was coming to a close. A special mention to the fact that we had to postpone the wedding by a whole year due to Covid restrictions but everything ran smoothly despite that. We would definitely recommend Lizzy to anybody thinking of booking a harpist, worth every single penny. Thank you Lizzy and Encore team."

"Kevin joined us for my best friend's 40th birthday party on 2nd Sep in Cotswolds, he responded very quickly to my query from this website and luckily he was available on the date. He arrived to the venue very timely for set up and discuss how surprise is going to be as his music was the surprise for the birthday girl. He was travelling from London , we very appreciated his effort. We loved Kevin's music, he had a very nice selection of songs kindly including some of our choices as well. Dinner was at a pub, he changed the whole atmosphere with his saxophone, played for 2 hours, we just did not wanted him to stop!! He blended very well with the group (about 30 people), they all asked me how I found him and noted how beautiful his music was. His choice of music was well thought for dinner time and intervals. We hope to work with him again for future events. Thank you very much Kevin for making the birthday and evening a very special one! Hope to work again in future events. "

"Jess came and sang at my 1940s 40th birthday party. She arrived and set up on time and was such a pleasure to have. She looked the part and had the most incredible voice. All my friends and family were so complimentary and she hugely helped the event feel like the 1940’s. It was so great to have such a friendly person to entertain us and I would highly recommend her. Thanks again Jess."

"With only two days notice Patrick fulfilled my expectations on what was a very emotional and sad day. Communication in emails between us was very good and timely and nothing was too much trouble. He arrived well in advance of the funeral to give him time to warm up the pipes and all those arriving were very appreciative. The deceased, my partner was from Scotland. He loved the bagpipes and would have been mightily impressed. My original Piper, sadly, was suddenly taken ill and as an organisation you certainly lived up to your name of 'Last minute musicians.' At a very anxious time, with constant updates, you made the whole booking process very easy. Thank you. I would highly recommend you. "

"Danny was fantastic. He played exactly what fitted with our event. I’m only sorry it was background music and we couldn’t make Danny the main event. "

"Meredith played at a Community Tea Party in the summer of 2019 for us. Her music was exquisite and created a magical atmosphere for our guests. She played lots of different styles of music beautifully and I would definitely recommend her "

Hello Helen, thank you for such a lovely review. Thank you for asking me to play a small part in such a meaningful yet fun afternoon. Everyone was so welcoming, it was a pleasure to meet and play for you and your friends and colleagues. Lots of love, Meredith xx

"Dorchester Strings were incredible! They played beautifully during our drinks receptions, where is was so lovely to have them playing in the background. They mostly played modern music, that we had requested, so many guests commented saying it was like Bridgerton! Hearing them play was one of the highlights of our day, the only downside was we should have had them for longer as we had to go away for photos during part of our drinks receptions. We would highly recommend Dorchester Strings for any event and perfect for any wedding! "

"We contacted Ben to see if he was available to come and sing at are 25th wedding anniversary and although he was already booked for that evening he managed to fit us in for a few hours earlier the same day. He did us proud and everyone loved what he did we would highly recommend him. Ben even managed to lean our wedding song on the day within a few minutes and played it so our daughter could sing it to us with Ben playing. "

"Roxi's band played my sister's wedding recently and were fantastic! They got everyone dancing, were energetic and fun, amazing musicians and vocalists. We loved every second and didn't want them to finish. I'd highly recommend them for weddings or parties... So much fun and lovely people!' "

"Really simple booking process and Gemma is really responsive, asking/answering questions really quick and easy! Our saxophonist, Raf, was just a joy to work with. He played a 1.5hr set at our wedding and was great at just free-styling to any song that came on by the DJ! Everyone stayed on the dance floor because of Raf, young and old, which is exactly what we wanted."

"We booked Rob and Mark for our wedding reception evening 'do' and are so happy with the decision we made! Rob guided us through their repertoire, was prompt in his replies and gave us suggestions as to what order songs were done in. The evening flowed perfectly and we've had so many positive comments from guests. Lovely touches, such as some word tweaking to make it so very personal. Rob, and his band, just got on with it and are clearly professionals. We'd recommend them to anyone, for any event. There's nothing like brilliant live music!"

"Absolutely fantastic and charismatic singer with tonnes of personality that shines through when she's behind the mic. Her voice naturally takes to every style of song she sings and we particularly enjoyed her jazz and swing numbers. Really powerful voice. Loved it! "
