"Tony played at our wedding and was fantastic. He is a brilliant piper and as soon as we arrived and heard the pipes all our nerves disappeared. It put more than a little bit of magic into the day and is a memory we will cherish forever."

"I just wanted to take the time to write you a special thank you for all you did for us at our wedding last week. You played the ceremony music so beautifully and really created the most amazing atmosphere, exactly what I imagined! Chris also mentioned you were absolutely lovely with him when he was looking a bit nervous before the wedding so thank you so much, you truly are amazing!!"

"We would just like to say a big thank you to Pretige. The music they played was great and I must say they were one of the best bands I’ve heard for a while."

"I cannot recommend Nathaniel more highly! He is an absolute professional who made contact with me well ahead of the event to collect all the relevant information including event schedule and music preferences, and ensure all arrangements are in place. On the day, Nathaniel was superb! Not only is he a wonderfully talented musician who was greatly appreciated by guests (indeed, several commented that they want to hire Nathaniel for events in the future!), but he was reliable, punctual, and was kind enough to even play a bit longer when our DJ ran late (thank you again, the DJ did turn up eventually). Our wedding celebration was greatly enhanced by having Nathaniel there and I would have no hesitation in recommending him to all my family and friends."

"What a fascinating combination this pairing turned out to be; the rich resonance of the bass contrasting beautifully with the higher timbres of the oud. The audience was left keen to hear more – the mark of an exhilarating performance."

"Hi Simon. I just wanted to say thank you for playing at my mum's funeral yesterday. It was beautiful to listen to - she was definitely looking down on us and bought the sunshine! Many thanks"

I'm extremely happy I booked you it couldn't have been better. Also I'm really grateful that you played all of me by John legend as I walked down the aisle (...) I'll definitely be recommending you to others."

"It is difficult to capture just how fabulous Lisa was before as well as on the day. She is such a lovely, fun and friendly woman. We really enjoyed working with her in planning the day and her singing down the phone to us as she explored various song suggestions will be a fond memory for us both... leaving us very excited for the day itself. We both love music, as do our families and put a lot of effort to line up some fantastic musical acts in addition to Lisa, including a 6 piece band and a solo guitarist we flew in from abroad. We also had a number of first class entertainers and performers....however despite this, the number one comment we had from every guest during the day and since has been the dramatic and hugely positive impression Lisa had on everyone. We almost felt bad our guests were giving her so much attention and trying to book her for their own events, including a lot of people who had already booked their musicians and were now having second thoughts!! We wanted the wow factor and Lisa certainly provides that. We can’t think of anyone we’ve ever seen musically who is so versatile and yet consistently high quality, indeed... top class. From classical church performances (she is very knowledgable and comfortable in working with you and your ceremony) ... she also learnt a particular piece for us that we’ve never heard covered and yet she delivered it as if it was her favourite song while also very much making it her own. Switching to a top class contemporary set during the drinks reception took everyone by surprise....and her true personality really came out when she switched into a medley of her own hip hop / original numbers blended with a traditional Irish music session, a sing off and an Irish dance combo. There is little to add to what others more qualified have already said in terms of her pure and incredible voice. Beyond this... to give you a sense of her capability... she was able to jam with another musician she only met on the day... to pick up, tune and play a new instrument (family heirloom banjo) as a special request.... to captivate 150 guests of all age ranges and from across the globe, and was able to keep our guests enthralled and enchanted with her for over 6 hours. We’ve met someone who we will enjoy following and listening to for the rest of our lives and who we will always feel lucky we were able to have share our special day. I suspect we will be going to see her gig and perform again very soon (if our guests don’t beat us to it first!). "

"As a solo singer here at Lastminute I had the pleasure of performing with Vera Voce at Hanbury Manor Herts for Mothers Day 2015. Vera Voce is a delight to work with, and an exceptional singer who can combine both Classical and Jazz to her performance. I highly recommend this lovely Lady and looking forward to performing more duets with her."
