Last Minute Musicians Reviews

"I have know Mark personally for many years and have only ever known him to put 100% in to every aspect of his music career so when my wife and I started to plan our big day, I knew that his passion and skill would bring something really special and unique to the day.We had The Swing Gents trio perform at our wedding and the guys were fantastic! Really set the mood for the afternoon whilst we were having the photos taken. The set list that Mark put together was perfect and really encompassed the feel of the day.Would highly recommend Mark and The Swing Gents for any event."

"Great service! We asked very last minute and was impressed with the professionalism of both Sarah-Jane and the singers to turn things around with such short notice. Will definitely be using again next year!"

"So much fun!! James & Ben came to our marquee wedding in May as a DJ/sax combo! We could not recommend them enough, we had a phonecall with James pre-wedding to discuss the type of music/songs we like and they provided exactly what we wanted! Everyone was on the dance floor from the very beginning, loving the songs and the sax went down a treat! They played any requests any guests had and we still now (a week later) get comments on how good the music was!! "

"Just wanted to say a big thank you for your fantastic performances at our Charity Gala Dinner last night! You were absolutely brilliant and so talented, your music really added something extra special to the atmosphere – bringing all the good vibes 😊 We’ve had some fantastic feedback from guests about the evening and your performances! We’re so pleased to say that we’ve raised over £21,000 (still counting!) – and your contribution helped make that possible. Thanks again for being such a great part of the night – we hope to have the chance to work with you again soon!"

"Nigel played at our wedding on the 9th December 2023 and I can honestly say when I look back out our day the music was one of the biggest highlights for me. From our very first contact right up until the big day Nigel’s communication was amazing, always prompt to reply and nothing was too much bother. Six weeks before our wedding we actually changed our wedding venue and I called Nigel in such a panic as I was stressed but he was so great at calming me down and reassuring me that everything would be okay, and he was right, it was just perfect. Everybody that came to the wedding complimented the music and I myself started crying the moment my song started playing as I was about to walk down the aisle, it sounded perfect. There was a specific part of the song that I wanted to enter to and Nigel managed to time it perfectly without compromising on the quality of the playing. In addition, I was sad that I didn’t get to hear any of the music played before my arrival but I didn’t need to fear, Nigel was kind enough to send me a beautifully put together set list of the music that was performed, this is something that I will treasure. Nigel also recorded many of the songs on his GoPro and promptly sent these recordings to me. To watch my guests arriving, seeing my husband nervous before I arrive and watching myself walk down the aisle was truly magical and I will look back on this videos for years to come. So to summarise, I would highly recommend booking Nigel for your wedding, you will not regret it. "

"Absolutely amazing tribute show. I attended a children’s garden party and was blown away by the professionalism and I thoroughly enjoyed along with my children…….we love a bit of George Ezra!! You were happy to personalise the show and change the songs to suit the birthday girl. You even made my teenager clap, sing and Bob his head…….anyone who has teenagers knows what a difficult task this is, so I give you a 10 out if 10. Would definitely recommend"

"What a great night! Great music, talented musicians and vocalists, original arrangements… We can’t wait for a return visit by the band to Northamptonshire- please make it soon. In the meantime we’ll have to make do with the Album we’ve just ordered! P.S. Just how does Chris play keyboard and Trumpet at the same time? (From an envious brass player!)"

"super duper thank you to Nat and the band for the amazing music on our wedding eve. It was mega!! Really hope you guys enjoyed yourselves, we had an absolute blast and everyone said how much they enjoyed it. Hiring Nat and the five piece band for our wedding was a wonderful experience from start to finish. Nothing was too much trouble for Nat, he ensured we had each and every song we had requested for the DJ fills and did everything possible to make it the best experience for us. Nat gave advice where we asked for it but made sure it was personal to our day. The band were ace and had everyone up dancing just as we’d hoped. The trumpet player was a real bonus who surprised us by playing over some of the dance tracks later in the evening, which the guests loved! Top class and highly recommended. Thank you! "
