"Louise played wonderfully for us at my wife's sixtieth birthday party, she learned Debussy for us, and Joe Hishaishi's beautiful music written for studio Ghibli movies. This was interspersed with other classics by Burt Bacharach, Simon and Garfunkel and many others. Everybody absolutely loved her work, especially my wife, as it made her birthday family gathering really special. Being the first time we had all got together in several years Louise's beautiful piano playing provided an emotional heart to the event. I'm so glad she could attend. Thank you Louise."

"Hi Lynden, Thanks for helping us make Dad’s 60th such a success. He hasn’t stopped talking about “that sax man” since the weekend – he said your tone reminded him of Stan Getz! Everyone was dancing by the end – not bad for a crowd of 60-somethings :) Cheers, Darren B."

"Sam played her harp at our wedding on the 10th of August at Murrayshall House Hotel for our ceremony and it was beautiful. Our guests were entranced and have said how much they loved the music that was played. I would recommend anyone who doesn't want to go for the traditional piano to speak with Sam as she has been lovely from start to finish."

"Florian was perfect; he was prepared, relaxed & the music helped to create the exact atmosphere that we had hoped for. Someone described the event as a 'New York, roof top wedding'"

"Genius at work! Thank you for an excellent performance at my sisters wedding. I have to say, myself and the guests were in awe and thoroughly enjoyed the music and your unique voice melted a lot of hearts!!! I lost count the amount of times I had people asking me where I found you and generally complementing a superbly accomplished performance. I know within 48 hours I had received 2 requests from guests asking how to book your services. Many Thanks! "

"Alan was the perfect addition to our day at Oakley Hall. When we first heard him play at the wedding fair, we knew he would create the atmosphere that we were looking for - and he really did! During the reception Alan's music was elegant and heartfelt, then during the drinks reception he added a relaxed yet sophisticated touch, with guests commenting how much they enjoyed it throughout. He was a joy to work with and made our day even more special. We would highly recommend Alan to anyones wedding day!' Thanks again. Ross"

"Laura is amazing from the initial enquiry though to booking, Laura is very clear on messages and you know what is going be played, I asked for two songs for my wedding entrance and they were sent to me so I had a clear knowledge of what was going to be played. Highly recommend!!"

"Alex is not only a fantastic pianist but also a lovely guy. He made our wedding day so special, and I cannot recommend him enough. We worked out a playlist together of songs that we wanted, and he did not hesitate to learn some slightly more eclectic choices... Like video game theme songs. Listening to him play was just delightful. All our guests told us how wonderful the music was. He was professional, smart, and just took our wedding day to a whole new level. He was happy to keep the secret of my walking down the aisle song from my husband to be and jazzed up our leaving the ceremony song to keep it in line with the style we wanted. We could not have asked for more. The more people that get to hear Alex play the better. We feel lucky to have had the honour of him playing at our wedding. Thank you so much Alex, there aren't enough words to get across how much we appreciate what you did for us on our special day."

"I met Gareth after having had a fairly comprehensive email correspondence with him, where we had discussed exactly I would like to achieve and what he felt he could offer. It felt very promising, but I knew the moment I saw him that he was absolutely right for this difficult occasion. When he sat down at the organ in the Chapel and rattled off several really wonderful pieces I found out how really special he is and that I had been really lucky to pick him. He had agreed to work with me on a very personal programme of music including a performance of songs with another professional soloist - a mini concert (Purcell and Duparc). The result turned out to be quite stunning with beautifully performed pieces from them both, as if they had worked together for years. Having played various gorgeous pieces throughout, at the end, he gave us his adaptation of Vaughan Williams Lark Ascending which was just beautiful. Nothing was too much trouble and I have received so many letters from people attending who said how much they enjoyed the music that day. Thank you Gareth for everything you did. I would always recommend you, because music is in your bones, you play like a dream and are an utter professional. Frances"

"Although a relatively late decision to get a guitarist, we were so incredibly happy that Duncan was able to come and play for our ceremony and drinks reception. The acoustic guitar created such an incredible ambiance for the ceremony itself and his song choice and playing was spot on throughout with some old favourites as well as new songs which everyone was able to recognise and enjoy. It added to the enjoyment of our day so much and a special thank you to Duncan for helping make it so special! Would definitely recommend Duncan for any event!"
