"Rob's performances were absolutely fantastic. We had so many compliments on his voice and music choices. One of the most important parts of my day was the aisle song and his performance of it couldn't have been more perfect. His songs and voice set the romantic and at times emotional tone of the day. We can't thank him enough for playing a part in making our day so amazing. Thank you, Rob."

"We hired Unwritten Duo to perform at a Private house/Garden Party for my parents wedding anniversary. She turned up on time with all her own gear, set up without fuss, and was really professional. She did 2 sets, interacted with guests and reacted to the audience, mood well and really made the party. Excellent singer and vocals with a brilliant personality. Definitely recommend her and will consider using her again. Andy Moore "

"Ruth played the harp at our wedding at Holmewood Hall in August 2023. She was attentive in all she did. We were able to hear some of our favourite songs throughout our special day. So many guests commented on the ambiance Ruth created with her musical talents. One of the most emotional yet perfect moments of my life was walking down the aisle to music played by Ruth. Such a wonderful and talented lady. Highly recommend."

"I had the pleasure of working alongside Bethany Jane at an awards night recently and not only was she the loveliest person, she was absolutely fantastic. Her voice is beautiful, every note was spot on, and she created the perfect atmosphere for the event. Bethany Jane would be ideal for weddings, parties, and corporate events — her professionalism and talent shine through in everything she does. If you’re looking for live music that will truly wow your guests, I’d highly recommend Bethany Jane. "

"Mark performed at our daughter’s 30th birthday party and we can honestly say he was excellent. His repertoire covered every age group and he kept the momentum going throughout the evening. All our guests said how good he was and we would definitely book him again for other functions. Thank you very much, Mark."

"Avoid this woman. We paid her £380 to play for an hour and a half in the woods during our wedding ceremony and drinks reception on Saturday 10th August, 2019. She played for half an hour before the ceremony and then wouldn’t play the remaining hour because she claimed the conditions weren’t appropriate. Her reasons are as follows... her fingers were too cold (it was 20 degrees) and a small branch fell on the wedding celebrant who was no way near Cecily (the celebrant carried on like a profession, I hasten to add). I asked Cecily for the money for the hour back and she refused. I therefore, am going to be looking into what legal action to take as I am not happy paying £380 for someone to play for half an hour! Cecily ruined our wedding day so don’t book her... she could ruin yours, too! "

N/B: Please note this booking was private and not through Last Minute Musicians. If it had, then the LMM contract would have made clear that the musician reserves the right to protect their instruments (and themselves) if the working environment become unreasonable or dangerous. On this day the MET office had issued a yellow warning for gale force winds and the weather conditions were a cause for concern. The wedding took place in a wood and as well as the celebrant being hit on the head by a falling branch, a much larger branch fell inches away from my harp after the ceremony. It is always difficult and upsetting to have to make the decision that it is unreasonable to continue playing when it is somebody's wedding day. I did, in fact, manage to play for 1/2 an hour before the ceremony and during the ceremony itself. When it was clear after the ceremony that there was no available option of moving inside, and after much consultation with ushers and friends of the couple, I made the decision that it was no longer a safe environment to work for me or the harp. I was assured by those I spoke to that the bride and groom would understand. The cold was a factor (high winds make the temperature feel much colder, and I would like to add several guests did put on their coats. I was also kindly offered a jacket) but not the reason for having to curtail this booking after 1 hour of playing. It is sometimes possible to deal with the ill effects of playing in the cold but the issue here was the lack of back up plan when the weather made the working environment dangerous. Nobody should be expected to work in an unsafe environment or put their extremely expensive and delicate instrument (as well as themselves) at risk when their livelihood depends on it. I would hope that having managed to play before and during the ceremony (and before the couple departed for photographs) that the decision made did not ruin anyone's wedding day. Naturally I am saddened when anyone feels dissatisfied with the service provided and I have never had a negative response to my performance at a wedding before. With best wishes, Cecily
