"You were absolutely fantastic, the quality of your singing was outstanding, we were so pleased with all of the songs you sang and how much this added to the atmosphere of the day, you really were amazing! We have had so many guests tell us how good you were, and such a nice addition to the wedding to have you there. You sang our first song beautifully too. You kept the tunes going all evening, making sure all song requests were met so all age groups were happy! It was lovely to meet you and we hope you had a good day also. Thanks so much again for everything!"

"James came to Bristol to perform at our wedding and he was absolutely fantastic! We had a great chat beforehand discussing songs he could play and how to organise the sets to reflect our music choices. He worked on some new arrangements for us, at our request, and included a last minute 'happy birthday' arrangement too for our guests. He was amazing when we had to reschedule the wedding (twice!) and was speedy in communications in the build up to the final date. On the day, James continued to be fantastic. Everyone loved his music and he really got the party started! Friends have already asked for his contact details to have him at their events. My favourite part? His cover of the Hot Chip version of Dancing in the Dark to wrap up the live music. Thanks so much James, you made sure our day was memorable!"

"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 !

"Sarah was hired to play at my Mums 60th birthday party and done a phenomenal job. The communication with Sarah was excellent from the start to end. Sarah was very accommodating and able to play a wide range of music which included: reggae, soul, lovers rock, jazz, r&b & mowtown. She was loved by all and she service is definitely great value for money. I have already recommended Sarah and will most definitely use her service again in the future"
