"What an incredibly talented harpist Enchanted Harpist is. She creates such a calm atmosphere and plays the most beautiful music. She is also one of the sweetest people you could ever meet. Highly recommend!"

"Having our wedding ceremony at Skipton Castle, North Yorkshire gave us the perfect location for our ‘fairytale wedding'. It was therefore extremely important to have, not only the type of music appropriate to our surroundings, but also a style of delivery befitting such a location. Clearly an mp3 player and wireless speaker would simply not do. She provided just what we were looking for."

"Superb is an understatement!! I booked Ethan for my 30th and everyone and me loved him. I requested a Take That song which I didn't think he'd do but he pulled it off brilliantly. His voice is amazing and guitar playing is even better. Everyone was dancing and telling me how great he was. He was also great value as he did the Disco for us after his set had finished. 5 Stars!!"

"Rebecca was a wonderful addition to our wedding day in August. She is incredibly talented and everyone commented on how beautiful her music was! She really added the perfect atmosphere for our drinks reception. Rebecca is also such a lovely person who really did her best to make sure we had the most incredible day. Thank you so much Rebecca! We can’t recommend her highly enough!5676"

"Highly recommend Leo who travelled from Cumbria to Durham for our big day. Not only very professional, he also provided the perfect music for us and our guests. Although not planning to get married again soon, I would definitely book him again. Tom and Mel"

"Last evening was a great success in no small part due to Cat who was excellent. Her playing and singing were first class and she responded well to the needs of the audience – she adjusted the volume to a level which was much appreciated - without losing the quality of her performance! Furthermore, she was a delight to talk to and several of our group said that she made a big positive impression on them."

"Stephen played for our french themed dinner night. He played beautifully and set the mood. He was most obliging throughout the booking period and on the night. Highly recommended if you are looking for a piano accordionist."

"This gentleman helped us give my auntie a beautiful send off today. Not only did he stand in the pooring rain whilst playing perfectly, he also took time out to meet and console my family. He could have waited indoors for the hearse to arrive but he chose to play to my Aunties neighbours whilst we waited. He was the last to leave my aunties home yet managed to be the 1st to arrive at the crematorium to play us in. I left the choice of music in his capable hands and im so glad i did, he had the professional ability to match the right tune to the present mood. I would strongly recommend Malcolm for any event. Unfortunately he is unavailable to play on the date of our wedding, i might just have to reschedule the date to ensure he can attend ?. Thank you Malcolm (true gentleman)"

"We had the absolute pleasure of listening to Daniel on a Thames River Cruise one night in London and completely fell in love with his voice and vibe. We asked him to play at our wedding during the ceremony and he brought all of that and more. He was extremely organised, kind and supportive to work with in the lead up to the day and the talent speaks for it all! Highly recommend! "

"As a Sax player, Sam is an amazing percussionist to work alongside. He brings so much energy to any dance floor and makes any event we do together so much fun. He is so good at interacting with the audience and really gets them involved which always goes down well and creates such a great party atmosphere!"

"Billy, with his exceptional talent as a piper, has created memories for my father’s 80th birthday celebrations that will last a lifetime. His willingness to not only perform but also engage with guests, sharing stories and adding a personal touch, truly sets him apart. He played our family's favourite Scottish tunes and even a special rendition of 'Happy Birthday' for my dad, making the occasion even more memorable. The fact that Billy has rubbed shoulders with celebrities and royalty alike, yet remains down-to-earth enough to connect with every guest, speaks volumes about his character. He even stayed for a slice of birthday cake! He made my father’s day so special, I would highly recommend. "

"It was an absolute pleasure and delight meeting you on Saturday, you completely blew me away with expectations. I know that you had not had the best of weeks prior to Saturday, but please don’t let peoples opinions or actions define who you are as a person, or your passion. You are extremely talented and is a gift. So many people came to me and said how amazing you are! "If you are considering hiring Rory for your event 100% do it. Rory played at our wedding and completely blew us and our guests away, such a talent. Before our wedding we collaborated on what vibe we wanted to set, songs, some surprises for our guests and Rory completely understood the assignment and just continued to surprise and bring pure joy. Rory made our wedding the most magical, joyous and beautiful experience possible."

Hi Lyndsey, Sorry to hear you’ve not been feeling great, although I can understand with the wedding and everything, with all the preparation and seeing so many people from your life in one go, it can be emotionally and physically draining. Do take plenty of rest and care of yourself. You deserve it! Thank you so much for your wonderful testimonial, really, it means the world to me! As you know, I had such joy contributing to your special day and I really appreciate your kindness and the energy of everyone at The Merlin. Thanks also for your understanding, Sarah-Jane was very supporting, she said that this wedding was what I needed right now, and like you said it was meant to be! It was great spending some time in Manchester again! It was a fantastic event, a true pleasure to be a part of, and feel free to give SJ a shout if you need any help with any future events. Many thanks and have a wonderful Christmas. All the best for 2025! Cheers Rory
