"Ruth was recommended to us when we started looking for a harpist to play at our wedding ceremony and she was fantastic! As a professional musician, Ruth has a wide and varied repertoire and she also offered to learn any favourites pieces we might have. We planned some beautiful music to play for our guests before the ceremony and Ruth was happy to discuss and advise on our choices – my only regret is that my Dad and I missed out on these before we arrived! We asked Ruth to play one of her own award-winning compositions for us all to sit and listen to during our ceremony. We chose this piece over Debussy, so that just shows what a talented musician we think Ruth is! It was perfect and one of my favourite moments of the whole day. Many of our guests commented on how much they enjoyed our ceremony and how beautiful and serene the room was when they arrived to Ruth playing. Ruth played an integral part in making our ceremony so wonderful. I had every confidence beforehand that she would work her magic musically and also be able to read the room and adjust her timings based on when my Dad and I arrived and how long it took for us all to enter. I wanted to walk really slowly so that we could hear her play for longer but I’m sure I didn’t I was so excited! Ruth had a smile throughout the whole wedding and was a joy to have there with us. We’re looking forward to hearing her play again sometime soon!"

"Thanks so much for playing at our wedding, you were great! The guests said how fantastic you were - they all enjoyed singing along! We’re so glad we booked you for our big day. The music was just what we needed for our drinks reception and wedding breakfast. Would highly recommend you. Thanks again. "

"Dave was amazing on our wedding day, he was professional and everyone said how good he was! He kept in touch with me regularly in the lead up to the wedding so I felt he really knew what we wanted on the day. He mingled brilliantly with the guests and played the requests that we discussed. I couldn't recommend him more :-)"

"If you are looking for a piper for your event, George is your man. We have just returned from my father in law's funeral today, and George's presence and outstanding performance on the bagpipes raised the day to another level. Don't hesitate. Just book him. Thankyou George."

"Dave performed during our wedding reception, and we are so glad we booked him. Despite lots of changes due to the pandemic, Dave was consistently on the end of a friendly email and happy to accommodate our changes as best he could. He made my planning so much easier. At the wedding itself, Dave was the first person we saw after our ceremony and he was just wonderful – it was clear that he loves what he does and truly cares for each of the couples that he performs for. Our guests have all said he was fantastic, they all loved how he engaged with the crowd and his repertoire was spot on! Thank you, Dave, our day wouldn’t have been as perfect as it was with you."

"Rebecca was absolutely amazing at my party! Her cello performance added a beautiful and elegant touch to the evening. The music was enchanting and created a lovely atmosphere that everyone enjoyed. I can't thank her enough for her incredible talent and contribution to the event! Highly recommend her for any occasion!"

"All I can say is Dave was amazing. From day 1, contact and details, costing etc., everything was clear and backed up with written contracts, etc. Dave’s communication was second to none. He advised what music he thought would work well at the wedding, recommending tracks, etc. We had him play in the evening, freestyling and he was superb. Playing some classic Ibiza tracks and freestyling to the DJ, even dancing with the crowd when playing. My wife and I are pleased to say he was everything and more than we ever imagined and he made the evening perfect. Highly experienced, extremely friendly and very well priced – great value for money. You will not be disappointed if you book Dave. A big, big thank you Dave."

"Rory's relaxed, smooth sound was perfect for our garden party and I received many complimentary comments from our guests on his behalf. He is a talented musician and was very professional but also approachable and friendly. I would certainly recommend him."

"Couldn't have asked for a better violin player than Andrew Hubbard! After listening to some sample music on this website I decided to book Andrew for New Years Eve at my restaurant called the Shaad in Congleton. Wasn't too sure about having a violin player for New Years Eve, but Andrew did many extraordinary things that I would not have expected a violinist to do. He made the evening a remarkable evening which customers continue to talk about even today. Playing the violin and getting my Indian dancers on stage was a brilliant idea; best one was the sing alongs which engaged not only my customer but me and my workers too. A person who is well organised, easy to communicate with, but also a jolly and a fun person. Will be booking you in for Valentines Day! Got the poster sorted and can be viewed on www.shaadcuisine.com. Look forward to working with you again. Thank you so much!"
