"Thank you so so much to James who made our Wedding day so magical!!! James learnt our special song for when I walked down the aisle and sent it to me, so I can still listen to it now. James played throughout our wedding breakfast and every guest asked ‘who is your amazing singer’. I have lots of friends and family getting married next year and they all want you to play at their weddings too. Thank you so much! Absolutely amazing xxxxx"

"Just wanted to drop you an email to express our thanks to the ladies for yesterday. As ever they were amazing and bought a real nostalgic feel to the evening. The Deputy Lord Lieutenant Fiona Nelmes and both the Mayor and Mayoress of Chelmsford were very impressed as were our Mayor and Councillors. Thanks again ladies."

"We had Aspen Skies perform at our wedding garden party and it was absolutely perfect, Jayne's voice is beautiful and the guests were buzzing with all the Shania Twain songs which went down a huge hit. They were both polite and professional and I would certainly recommend booking them in a heart beat, thank you so much, we had a fantastic afternoon!"

"Vernon performed at our new John Lewis store in York as part of our 150 anniversary celebration weekend. Vernon was an absolute pleasure to have performing in the store; his friendly manner and excellent musical talent made our 150 year celebrations extraordinary, and our partners and customers commented how brilliant he was. We will most certainly be contacting Vernon in the future for other events that we hold- he never once stopped smiling, and his music was fantastic! Thank- you Vernon! "

"I found joe on here as I wanted to have a guitarist serenade my fiancée before I proposed. I contacted Joe and he was very friendly, professional, full of helpful advice and very accommodating . He kept in contact with me up to the proposal . When he arrived this man was happy, bubbly and very entertaining. He played lovely and his singing was great as well as a great repertoire. It was so amazing thank you Joe for helping to make our night so special"

"I had Chris perform at my 60th birthday party and he was excellent. A great selection of songs from which we chose our preferred song list. Chris was very professional throughout the entire process and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him. Five stars all round."

"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 !

Guests were continually commenting on how the gentle tones of her voice turned the venue into a tranquil relaxed environment. I would strongly recommend her, she was AMAZING!!!

"We had Beth sing for us at our wedding reception. She was fantastic from the moment we contacted her, guiding us through to our big day. We had so many compliments on how amazing she was and we wouldn’t agree more! Would absolutely recommend Beth :)"
