"I hired Jules for my mother as she is currently house bound. Jules was absolutely amazing and our mother thoroughly enjoyed the day."

"Kirsty was absolutely incredible and we’re so glad we booked her for our wedding! Over the last couple of years we’ve been to a number of weddings, none of which had a dance floor you didn’t want to leave, and as a result we were really wary when booking our DJ. We wanted to dance! We had a long list of things that were very important to us and finding someone that really understood our vision was absolutely essential. We’d met with a few DJ’s, none of which were giving us the right ‘vibe’ and then we found Kirsty. We had a phone call with her, during which we discussed every item on our very long list of requirements and she just GOT IT. She made us feel so at ease and reassured us that she understood exactly what we were looking for. My Wife and I both have incredibly varied music tastes which were catered for perfectly by Kirsty! Kirsty is SO organised. She sent us a document detailing everything she needed from us to do her job excellently. One of the items we were very concerned about was our ‘Do Not Play’ list, Kirsty was SO respectful of it from our very first conversation, and we just knew we had nothing to fear. We each made her a playlist, showcasing our individual music tastes, and she was able to blend them together perfectly on the night in a way that not only perfectly suited us, but enticed our guests, of all ages, onto the dance floor. We got married on the longest and hottest day of the year, 34°C and it wasn’t dark until gone 10:30pm but that didn’t matter, her playlist on the night (which she sent a copy of to us post wedding, which we loved) was so perfectly curated, people were dancing from the second she set up until we had to turn the music off. Every song on our ‘Must Play List’ was ticked off at the perfect time throughout the night, she was true to her promise and didn’t allow anybody to make requests (one of our big no-no’s as we’d had Uncles threaten some very questionable song requests leading up to the wedding). My personal favourite part of Kirsty’s set was probably the last half hour, she read the dance floor perfectly banger after banger after banger, and perfectly timed our final song with the music cut off time which made our venue very happy. She also played us out with a little personalised song that everybody loved! We had so many compliments on the music from our guests!! All of her equipment was excellent and set the vibe perfectly, she clearly knows her equipment very well because it took her no time to set up or pack away at the end of the night. Fantastic lights which didn’t do that really annoying thing of nearly blinding you as they spin around the room, a personal pet peeve of mine. Her speakers were excellent and perfectly balanced, not too bass-y and set to the perfect volume to sing your lungs out but not go to bed with a ringing in your ears! She came and said hi as she arrived to check in with us, then said goodbye and had a bit of a chat with us as she packed away at the end of the night, but other than that, she didn’t speak to us whilst playing her set enabling us to fully enjoy ourselves and stay in the moment. Thank you for that! Kirsty is super on top of all of her paperwork, up to date with insurance and PAT tests, which will be required by any venue, so to have that presented to us without needing to ask helped to relieve some of the organisational stress surrounding the wedding. Every time we thought it was probably time to check in with her leading up to the wedding, she’d beat us to it, again, giving us one less thing to remember to do. Honestly, we can’t thank you enough for being so on top of everything and giving us no doubts that we could rely on you ♥ Our only regret is that we didn’t book Kirsty for her acoustic set during the day as she has an incredible voice we wish we’d gotten to hear more of! Thank you so much for all of your help throughout the process, for putting up with our requests and concerns and for making the evening of our wedding an absolutely cracking party!! We’ll be back in touch for our next event!!!"

"Many thanks Lee. We thought you were perfect for our relaxed garden party the day after our wedding. Your soft vocals and talented acoustic guitar playing really made our day special. And you are a nice pleasant guy too. Everyone commented on how they were enjoying your music and couldn't believe you lived just down the road. My only regret is that we should have booked for you to play longer. I would not hesitate to recommend you. "

"Hi Ged, I just wanted to send my sincerest thanks for looking after the evening for the start of my Captaincy. I've seen you before at other Captain's events, but dealing with you made things so easy for me on the day. I'll be speaking to you later in the summer for a few other events I have planned. Best wishes, John"

"Kirsty was a great addition to our event in Swindon this weekend. She was very engaging with our customers of all ages and helped create the right atmosphere. Easy to work with from a business point of view and would 100% hire her again."

"Jukebox James was fantastic! Highly recommended to anyone for any event. He performed surprise songs that absolutely blew me away & brought out happy tears in emotions! Thank you so much for bringing our event to life, & for personalising our evening! Honestly could not have been happier with our choice for our singer. So polite & friendly, undemanding & so talented. Thank you for a wonderful show & evening!! "

"Andy was great from initial contact to the day, he arrived with plenty of time and setup and created a beautiful ambiance to what would be our special day with 2 x 45 minute sets of which entailed of great songs. Unfortunately I didn’t get to see much of the sets due to getting the wedding pictures (joys of being the groom) but everyone has commented on how fantastic Andy was and how great it was to have him at the reception drinks. Personally I don’t think the hotel placed him in the right place for everyone to fully appreciate his work as people where scattered all over the hotel which is a shame but no reflection on Andy as he was brilliant! I wouldn’t hesitate to book him again - Great guy, hopefully I’ll have the pleasure of seeing him live in the future! Be sure to book ?"

"Dear Gary Thank you so much for your kind response to our village party - the committee have had so many emails from those who came saying it was the best party we have had for years, and this is very much down to all the effort you and Gary made to give us a fantastic evening. Great songs, lots of flirting from Elvis, and you were such a help in arranging the timetable -I don't think any of us realised how late it was when the evening came to an end -we were having such a good time! I thought you would like to know we raised just over £600 towards the village hall -a record for this event so we are all delighted.... I know you have a busy season ahead but be assured none of us will forget our "night in Las Vegas with Elvis" on Saturday and next time we are planning a really swinging party you will be at the top of our list.... Thank you both so much Best wishes Caroline and the party planners"

"We booked Nick for a 60th wedding/80th Birthday party. He played the music requested and was absolutely fantastic. A very talented guy who is a great singer. He plays the guitar and also the keyboard. He arrived early to set up and was very professional. Highly recommended. Thanks Nick Bertram-Powell."
