"Tamilla is a true professional. She is very good at what she does and is able to play a good range of songs which she plays beautifully. She played for us during our church service and had a good sense of humour when she had to play my walking down the aisle song 4 times! We would highly recommend Tamilla, thank you so much!"

Katherine, thank you for such a glowing review, I enjoyed myself immensely that day. Including the waiting for you bit, your guests helped to make it more joyful that expected. Lots of happiness to you and Ashley.

"Yohane is responsible, professional and very friendly, he arrived punctually to our blessing service and he collaborated exceptionally with our musicians. The 'Goodness of God' melody he played on his violin was beautiful, outstanding and moving. Highly recommend having Yohane to play at any formal occassion and we were grateful to have him celebrate our big day with us."

"Cornwall Strings played for our reception at St. Michael's Hotel. Steph was lovely, very easy to talk to and arranged a piece of music that was very important to me and my husband. I can't thank them enough. "

"Sophie is amazing. 14 out of 10. She gave great advice before the event and helped make the speech fun and unforgettable with perfect accompaniment for several song quotes and references. Her attention to detail during the event actually helped us keep to schedule. For the best ever event you need great friends, venue, food and Sophie's Quartet. "

"We were 100% satisfied with using Last Minute Musicians! The entire process was easy and the booking fees were made very clear right from the beginning. The musician agents were incredibly accommodating, listening to exactly what type of musician we were after and made sure to provide quick responses to any requests. The musician they recommended was Becky Shell and we were blown away by how enchanting her performance was. She was a true professional, arriving on time and made our wedding reception so special. We would happily use this service again"

"My husband and I asked Éadaoin to play at our church wedding ceremony and also at our reception. She was such a pleasure to work with in the run up to the big day. She was so easygoing and accommodating with our requests. Éadaoin even accompanied my husband's mother while singing, which was such a special moment for us. Everything was seamless and professional, and she is a very gifted musician. We had so many compliments from our guests. As a harpist myself it was just perfect, and so nice to hear all my favourite pieces played so beautifully. We also absolutely loved the lively trad music she provided at our drinks reception along with a very talented flautist Martha. The atmosphere was fantastic. We were delighted with everything."

"Kate played for our wedding ceremony at All Saints Church Strelley Village and during our reception at Swancar Farm Country House on 30/8/2014. Kate delivered a perfect performance at the church and also during our reception. I was honored to have Kate play at our Wedding especially as I had previously had violin lessons with her. During our reception Kate mingled casually amongst the tables taking requests from our guests without being imposing. You knew where Kate was because you could hear the music of Angels coming from her direction. Kate has the fantastic aptitude that she does not need music notes to play. She can listen to a piece of music that she hasn’t heard before (eg: like she did with Ukrainian music for us) and just play it. Kate is an absolutely brilliant and talented musician. I recommend Kate 100% . You will be ecstatic with her performance. "

"What an amazing performance for an amazing day. We hired Andrew for the biggest day of our lives and had many conversations prior to the day in order to make sure everything was spot on. Following his advice on numerous songs for particular parts of the wedding, it couldn’t have been more perfect. Our wedding was delayed by nearly an hour due to dress malfunction, but Andrew continued to perform for his audience and even threw in a dance, keeping the audience delighted. Watching back on videos of the wedding, it is quite clear that despite how important the day was, the quality of Andrews performance just made it even more emotional and really fitting for the day. I can’t thank him enough for all of his help, constant dialogue with organisation, quality of performance and general pleasantness. Music apart, Andrew is a very well mannered, polite and understanding individual who every guest warmed to during our day. Thank you for everything Andrew."

"Richard Toomer is simply a wonderful musician. He has played violin in several productions when I have been musical director and I have sung under his baton as principle tenor in the operettas he has conducted. As a conductor he is a natural and has the ability of getting the very best out of people with a wonderful sense of humour. Superb all rounder"

"I was looking for a violinist to play a selection of music at the ceremony of my daughter’s wedding, but the processional and recessional pieces were modern. Tamilla was able to adapt these pieces as well as playing a lovely selection before and after the ceremony and at the drinks reception. Many of the guests, including professional musicians, commented on how good her music was, and she was very easy to communicate with in order to make the arrangements, even though I had not previously met her."
