"Wow! What can we say?! Thank you, thank you, thank you! You guys are phenomenal! The Jazz duo during the meal - amazing. I’m so pleased you offered this to us as it was so special and just added a certain ‘something’! I know the table closest to the Duo were in their element! Then the evening! Oh my goodness you all are incredible! Thank you for the atmosphere that you created, it was so fun! Very hot and a bit sweaty, but so fun! We won’t hesitate to recommend you and are trying to find every occasion to have you to play again! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts"

"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

"I cannot recommend this band enough. From the booking the communication was fantastic! They arrived in enough time to set up and we were not disappointed with their performance. They are a terrific band and I was completely thrilled by their music choice and their banter was very funny! I would recommend them for any event. You won't be disappointed. "

"I’d definitely recommend Kirsty, who performed at my 50th birthday party. She sang and DJ’d, and absolutely nailed it from start to finish. Kirsty was super easy to work with beforehand, collaborating with me and another DJ on the music so everything felt spot on. On the night, her vocals were amazing and her DJ set was on point, keeping the dance floor full and the energy high all evening. She played a big part in making the night what it was. Would 100% recommend Kirsty."

"Kathryn and Milly performed at hour wedding in April 2026. I can't thank them enough for making our wedding day so special. They performed for an hour during our drinks reception outside on the patio. They performed a range of acoustic style songs. It was beautiful. My friends and family were genuinely so impressed by them. I also booked Kathryn and Milly for my wedding reception. They honestly entertained everyone all evening! They sang such a good range of songs which was great for all of the different age ranges. They managed to lead the guests to the right places at the right time for the cake cutting and first dance which they sang so perfectly. The girls were so friendly and really went out of their way to make everything run smoothly. Their voices are honestly incredible! They are absolutely amazing. I would highly recommend!"

"Lucinda played during our wedding ceremony and drinks reception for our recent wedding in June 2021 and she was absolutely perfect. We had a call before the wedding to talk through what type of music we wanted, and she was amazingly flexible in offering to play our entrance music song even though this was outside of her repertoire. We could not recommend Lucinda more highly - she made the ceremony so special and everyone commented afterwards how beautiful her music was. Thank you! "

"The booking procedure was very straightforward and efficient. I spoke to Sarah-Jane who answered all my questions in a comprehensive and very friendly manner. Jean was a superstar!! She was highly professional and personable. She was very punctual and was playing as the first guests arrived. The range of music was just right to cater for all tastes and ages. She was smiling and bubbly throughout and was more than happy to play requests for my father!"
