"Claudio is top class, he is such a lovely friendly man but is also a very talented musician. His repertoire was extensive and he was able to play every request that he was asked to play but was also able to play tunes of his choice as well that were so fitting for the occasion and people there present . It amazed me that he plays all of this from memory and so well. Without hesitation I would recommend him. Top class musician. "

"Thank you so much for playing at my wife Beth's 30th birthday in Leeds on Friday. Many of the guests have been asking after you since then and many were much later home on the night than they planned as they were too busy dancing! The choice of songs, the quality of the playing and vocal - it was all excellent, perfect for the party and made the night that much more special. You were also very friendly and helpful before and after the party and great to have around on the night. Thank you! "

"From first contact, all the way through to the day, Jess was professional, helpful and friendly. They were always responsive to any questions, learnt some extra songs for us perfectly, got to a difficult venue on time, set up discreetly and gave a great performance that they pitched just right for the changing mood throughout the evening. It really stood out how committed to, and passionate about, their music they are and we really felt they cared a lot about making the atmosphere on the day really special. They were even happy dealing with our indecision around playlists (offering great advice) and when first dance etc would be, something I'm personally very grateful to them for handling wonderfully! Furthermore, both Jess and her band members were also lovely wedding guests - they were great at chatting to fellow guests about the music during breaks and at playing music through the system between sets. If we have any events in the future we would definitely have them along to provide the music again. Event details - Wedding reception of approximately 100 people in a 9m x 18m marquee. The music and volume was just right to get people dancing on the dance floor, and also to allow those who wanted to chat to do so comfortably towards the back of the marquee. I believe the equipment Jess brought along was the less powerful available to them, so no worries with larger venues too."

"Prophets of Swing were absolutely wonderful. They delivered exactly what we were hoping for and provided a lively and upbeat atmosphere at our wedding breakfast. Such talented, accomplished musicians. My husband and I were extremely impressed and absolutely delighted with them. All of our guests were singing their praises. I found Sarah-Jane Morris, and her assistants, very helpful, attentive and thorough with the booking process. I would be more than happy to use Last Minute Musicians again, and have already recommended the website a number of times! Thanks to all. Elizabeth and Liam"

"Mellowtone were absolutely brilliant for our 40th birthday celebration. Chris and the rest of the band were courteous and efficient in setting up/taking away the instruments, and communciation in the run-up to the event was great. The music was of an exceptionally high standard, with a really diverse set list. They made the night very special. They played a range of jazz standards, with a great combination of paces (including plenty of tunes to dance to). Chris has a lovely singing voice and the bands' musicality shines through. I cannot recommend Mellowtone highly enough."

"Soli Strings really made our wedding day extra special. They were great to deal with from the off, offering us an extensive list of songs to choose from, and even learning a new number for us to walk down the aisle to. Afterwards, so many of our guests commented on how much they loved the quartet and the ambience they brought to the occasion. We highly recommend Soli Strings!"

"Dear Graham, Thanks so much again for Saturday.  We all loved the music.  I had so many compliments.      It was perfect for the occasion.   I would be lovely to hear you play again.  So thanks again to you and of course to your excellent fellow musicians. I must say they seemed as lovely a group of people as they were excellent musicians, no wonder you look and sound like you’re having such fun.  please pass on my best to the rest of Chateaux.  All v best, Rob "

"We booked this quartet for our ceremony and post-wedding drinks reception and they were one of the highlights of our day! Their extensive repertoire meant that we could enjoy our favourite rock, metal, film and Disney songs in classical format, and we had many guests commenting on how much fun they had listening to them. We wanted to walk out of the ceremony to the Island song from Adventure Time, which had never been arranged for a string quartet before. This was no trouble for Kim and her team who were able to put it together in a matter of weeks. I cannot recommend them highly enough!"

"Love for Sale were brilliant from start to end. Their communication was friendly, quick and very clear. John was so lovely in emails and phone calls and really made the booking so simple. The guys on the event day were brilliant, they arrived in plenty of time, were set up and ready to go at the event start time and were very professional. The music was wonderful and such a great addition to the party, they created a great drink atmosphere vibe and really lifted the mood. They accommodated a break in the set list for a birthday surprise and no request was to large or small. I would thoroughly recommend Love For Sale for any event and will certainly be using them in the future. "
