"Having attended a friend's party a year ago where we were impressed with Kem's playing, we invited Kem to our garden party. Kem's playing was just perfect and contributed significantly to the delightful atmosphere and success of the day. Great choice of music as guests arrived and dined. A lovely helpful chap, we could not have made a better choice'. "

Hi Derek and Jane. I hope you are both well. Thank you so much for your lovely review and I hope our paths meet again. I now measure expectations of all future engagements on the standards you set for me and for this I am most grateful. Best wishes, Kemal.

"James did our wedding entertainment and he was amazing throughout. He dealt with last minute changes and was totally flexible throughout. We wanted backing music originally but our wedding party enjoyed him so much that they danced away in the outside space and thoroughly enjoyed every minute. Perfect entertainer, great performer and a lovely lad too!"

"I just wanted to say thanks for a wonderful night last week. The first time we saw you perform we were absolutely amazed at how you got everyone up on the floor and kept them there for the whole show. Having told everyone at Waitrose and John Lewis how good you were, you certainly delivered again the 2nd time around. It was a very polished performance and demonstrated how seriously you've taken on the responsibilities of you're singing career. If you ever need me to provide a personal reference to a potential client just ask as I would be delighted to think I've done a little to help you on your road to true stardom. "

"Dave can to play for our wedding last night and I have to say it was outstanding! He customised his playlist to suit my guests and got everyone up dancing right from his first number. I would recommend Dave for any event, his voice is brilliant and he goes the extra mile to make sure everyone enjoys themselves. Thankyou Dave - Youre a gent! "

"Avoid this woman. We paid her £380 to play for an hour and a half in the woods during our wedding ceremony and drinks reception on Saturday 10th August, 2019. She played for half an hour before the ceremony and then wouldn’t play the remaining hour because she claimed the conditions weren’t appropriate. Her reasons are as follows... her fingers were too cold (it was 20 degrees) and a small branch fell on the wedding celebrant who was no way near Cecily (the celebrant carried on like a profession, I hasten to add). I asked Cecily for the money for the hour back and she refused. I therefore, am going to be looking into what legal action to take as I am not happy paying £380 for someone to play for half an hour! Cecily ruined our wedding day so don’t book her... she could ruin yours, too! "

N/B: Please note this booking was private and not through Last Minute Musicians. If it had, then the LMM contract would have made clear that the musician reserves the right to protect their instruments (and themselves) if the working environment become unreasonable or dangerous. On this day the MET office had issued a yellow warning for gale force winds and the weather conditions were a cause for concern. The wedding took place in a wood and as well as the celebrant being hit on the head by a falling branch, a much larger branch fell inches away from my harp after the ceremony. It is always difficult and upsetting to have to make the decision that it is unreasonable to continue playing when it is somebody's wedding day. I did, in fact, manage to play for 1/2 an hour before the ceremony and during the ceremony itself. When it was clear after the ceremony that there was no available option of moving inside, and after much consultation with ushers and friends of the couple, I made the decision that it was no longer a safe environment to work for me or the harp. I was assured by those I spoke to that the bride and groom would understand. The cold was a factor (high winds make the temperature feel much colder, and I would like to add several guests did put on their coats. I was also kindly offered a jacket) but not the reason for having to curtail this booking after 1 hour of playing. It is sometimes possible to deal with the ill effects of playing in the cold but the issue here was the lack of back up plan when the weather made the working environment dangerous. Nobody should be expected to work in an unsafe environment or put their extremely expensive and delicate instrument (as well as themselves) at risk when their livelihood depends on it. I would hope that having managed to play before and during the ceremony (and before the couple departed for photographs) that the decision made did not ruin anyone's wedding day. Naturally I am saddened when anyone feels dissatisfied with the service provided and I have never had a negative response to my performance at a wedding before. With best wishes, Cecily

"I just wanted to say thank you so much for everything at our wedding, it was perfect!! Everyone loved you and couldn't believe it wasn’t a CD! You have definitely got yourself some new fans. Martin and I can not thank you enough for singing at our wedding, it really was so special. When I walked in the doors and you started singing “a thousand years” as was exactly as I had wanted it to be, thank you!!"

"Both my husband and I would like to thank Laura for her incredible performance at our wedding. Laura stepped in with ten days to go and nothing really was too much for her. She took on our set list and literally just as happy to play our important songs which meant the world to us. Laura was nothing but professional but on top of that she really made so much effort to make sure everything was right for us even with the very short notice. Our guests could do nothing but tell us how amazing Laura so I would just like to say if you are looking for an incredible pianist for a wedding or any event then please look no further, Laura is amazing."

"Can you pass on our thanks to Adam and Jack for Saturday night. They were brilliant. I would have no hesitation in hiring them again or recommending them to someone else. Very professional yet friendly & fantastic sound."

"Esme was excellent! We hired her for our wedding party (post wedding breakfast) and she was brilliant at getting people on the dancefloor. She was brilliant at gauging what was keeping people dancing and switching up her music options. Thank you so much Esme! Everyone was talking about how brilliant you were."
