"Alison was amazing when we had a last-minute cancellation hours before the wedding. I messaged Alison on the day and she was so friendly and calming when I was in this stressful situation. She was so professional and ensured everything was perfect even though we contacted her last minute. Her music speaks for itself- absolutely breathtaking! I cannot commend her enough and would recommend to any one looking to book. "

"Miriam was absolutely wonderful at our wedding yesterday. Her playing was beautiful and really set the mood for the ceremony and reception. She turned up with a smile and really worked around the logistics. She was fantastic at helping to discuss an arrangement to play and was very accommodating about working around our needs. Would very highly recommend Miriam for anyone considering a cellist for their wedding, couldn't have been happier! "

"We just want to give you the biggest thank you and appreciation message. You were amazing. Hearing the Friend’s theme tune as I was waiting for Tash moved me to tears. Thank you so much for making our special day even more personal."

"Isabella was invited to play for the Lord Mayor’s Civic Reception which created a beautiful start to the evening, and was very well received by all guests including the Lord Mayor of Manchester, Councillor June Hitchen. Isabella is very professional and played a varied selection of classical music. We will certainly be keeping Isabella on our database for future events."

"I found Vikki at Last Minute Musicians through a random internet search. What can I say? I'm so glad I found this site and Vikki. She was prompt with her reply and professional in all our emails and our meetings. She took on all the music we needed her to play on the piano and also arranged a special piece of music I had chosen which she played beautifully for us on her cello. Her piano playing is lovely and this along with the cello solo added so much to our wedding service. Thank you Vikki for your help in preparing for, and playing at, our wedding and for your wonderful music skills."

"We can't recommend Stephen enough! He played for 30 minutes before and through our Wedding Ceremony, even learning a new song on Cello for the Bride's aisle walk which was amazing and not a dry eye in the room. He then played for another fantastic hour giving us his incredible talent on both Cello and Saxophone and got us in the mood to party. All the guests loved him and commented on him all day. We would highly recommend him to make anyone's day that extra special. He was great to work with in planning our very special day, even building us a set list that got us ready to party from his Cello to Saxophone beats, and even through hard times due to Covid and moving dates, he stayed with us. This guy has amazing talent and i'll be booking him again in the near future."

"Thank you, Jules and Anne-Marie, for creating such a lovely ambience throughout the most special moment of our lives. My father was an enormous classical music enthusiast and the delightful timbre of the piano and cello invoked such a warm feeling that reminded me of him being there. Thank you also for putting up with the rain throughout the day!"

"wedding & reception music October 2019 I am so pleased that I found Emily. She was friendly and professional from our first contact and gave me complete confidence. Emily not only played her own compositions and traditional cello pieces but also created an arrangement for a specific track at my request, as a surprise for my husband. In addition, Emily prepared a further arrangement at our request, to play alongside our 17 year old son, who accompanied her on the ukulele. Emily and George were only able to run through this piece a couple of times on the day, directly before guests began to arrive and it was wonderful to hear them master it together so quickly. Our guests burst into spontaneous applause after they had played this piece for the recessional! I cannot recommend Emily highly enough! Lisa S "

"Emily played for my son's wedding. For the service itself she provided beautifully mellow background music as guests arrived and settled, and then the chosen tunes for the entrance of the bride and departure of the newlyweds, and during the signing of the register. An easy move to the reception hall and then she played for over an hour while guests mingled, enjoying drinks and canapés, before the wedding breakfast. Emily's playing is superb whether playing classical favourites or modern pop classics! She communicated thoughtfully and professionally about the couple's requirements and choice of music, most of which was from her established repertoire, but also included an addition to Emily's long list of pop favourites. Many guests commented on the beautiful music, but at the same time Emily herself stayed in the background, providing a beautiful musical backdrop to a perfect day."

"Dear Louise, I wanted to thank you for coming to my studio to record the other day. You play the cello beautifully with great feeling and passion. The recordings we did have surpassed all my expectations. You exude class and confidence when you play and your ideas and contributions beyond reading the notes display a musicality and knowledge of your craft that many session players simply do not have. I very much look forward to working with you again in the future. With best wishes, Tim"

"Louise played the cello at our small wedding at Chelsea Town Hall. She was really helpful in choosing the music beforehand and always available for our questions. On the day she was punctual and organised. The music was wonderful- Bach's cello suite No 1. especially. It really added to the ceremony. We were considering not having music but this was definitely the best decision we made. "
