" Brody B. , Married on 10/10/2024 Wedding Day Violinist If we could re do our wedding day we would choose Daniel to play his violin over and over, he was simply amazing! To have him play as my wife walked the isle made the whole atmosphere so angelic and beautiful, we would 100% recommend him to anyone! Not only is he affordable but his communication was excellent, it made booking him for our special day so easy and stress free!! Thank you so much once again!"

"Emily really ended our wedding day perfectly performing at our evening party. She discussed our choices beforehand and was very lovely and helpful. We sent Emily our first dance choice and it was fantastic to hear it performed live rather than play the original track. It was perfect. Our guests loved her. Rob and I would highly recommend. Thank you Emily x"

"Kate played wonderfully at our wedding at Waltons Hotel , Nottingham. Celtic music and classical music, whatever we asked she accommodated our requests and we could tell how much she enjoyed playing for us. What's more, we invited Kate back 7 years later to play for us again at our home celebration to renew our vows and to remember that wonderful day. Highly.recommend Kate . "

"Zoe’s harp playing really was the icing on the cake at our wedding. She was super, her playing was beautiful, and we couldn’t have asked for more. I was running late on the day but my guests didn’t mind one bit because it meant they got more time listening to Zoe play! I couldn’t recommend her more highly. Thank you Zoe! "

"The musician was really talented however did not play the music requested so killed the entire vibe of the party. It was a party and we requested upbeat music alongside DJ but she used her own speaker and mellowed tunes... everyone obviously left the dance floor at this point and had to remind her of the request. She struggled with our requirements despite us being very specific on booking and even noted specific times on contract booking, did not fulfil contract and waste of £550"

Dear Hayley Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback regarding your recent event. I take all reviews seriously, as they help me improve my services, and I appreciate the opportunity to address some inaccuracies in your comments. The full fee you paid was £459, I understand that you felt the music selection did not align with the upbeat atmosphere you envisioned. However, I want to clarify that I arrived well-prepared with a curated playlist that included the specific tracks you requested, such as "Rebel Music" and "Ibiza Classics." Additionally, during our initial conversation, I offered to incorporate lively pop songs like "Havana," "Rather Be," and "Cheerleader" to enhance the party vibe. I left out your request to play Andrew Lloyd Webber/Starlight Express as I felt it didn’t align with the style of your event. Regarding the DJ sound levels, these were extremely loud throughout. I strive to maintain an enjoyable volume throughout my performances. While you noted that the dance floor, it was empty upon my arrival and throughout the ibiza classics with DJ last 30 minute set. I appreciated the positive feedback from many guests which indicates we’re enjoying my performances. As the event progressed, I was attentive to your requests, including the unexpected addition of a dhol drummer for the second set. I performed the "Morni" provided the Bollywood track to the DJ and performed alongside the DJ and which successfully energised the dance floor. I also addressed the issue with my electric violin volume being turned down by DJ immediately after he received feedback from guest complaining he couldn’t hear it! The booking was to perform 3x 30 minute sets I stayed on the dance floor except two 15 minute breaks and performed throughout the 2 hour duration. I made repeated requests to the DJ to play "Ibiza Classics," in line with your preferences, and I took swift action to address all requests throughout the night. The DJ consistently played track’s that were impossible for a violinist to play over such as Milkshake by Kelis. My goal is always to create memorable experiences for my clients, and I have consistently received positive feedback for over 20 years !

"We were unsure about what musician to have for our special moment walking down the aisle, and we had left things quite last minute with little budget left in our pot. We decided we would go for a guitarist and what a good decision that was. Not only did Kieran create a vibrant atmosphere to add to an already sentimental moment, but he went over and beyond and kept guests entertained with the sweet sound of his wide portfolio of song choice. To say he was the cherry on top of the cake would be an understatement, he really made our ceremony that much better and I would highly recommend him to anyone for any event. Thank you Nathaniel."

"Paul was 100% professional, he turned up early, and he is a nice guy to deal with. He has a lovely sounding Godin guitar and plays it like a dream. It made the birthday special."

"Peter Duncan is a professional and highly experienced guitarist. A performance has you spellbound as gorgeous sounds arise to the deft and sinuous movement of his hands. In a set he moves from classics to current chart hits and he puts the deserved energy into rock n’ roll, ballads, blues, reggae and jazz.  Peter’s base is a relaxed, easy-listening style in which you sense his own delight especially as he makes a natural playful contact with his audience. The style reflects his passionate influence from The Beatles - with their own arresting melody, lyrical poetry and versatility. Ultimately Peter is an amiable, easy going and accomodating performer who can touch sweetly or invigorate spiritedly every listener. Jen Smith "

"Having just returned from South Lodge I thought I must write to say how much my family and friends enjoyed listening to Sara. My wife and I couldn't believe that she was actually in the party suite setting up and singing a note or two before we arrived just before midday, although not performing until 3.30 pm - a true professional. Sara is certainly a lovely lady as well as a wonderful singer, and I think it is fair to say that we were all captivated by her voice and performance. As one of my friends mentioned to me afterwards, he could certainly see many a tear in the eye as we listened to her and I can support that."
