"We have a company bash every January just to help everyone over their post - festive blues so we booked primed as they had so many fabulous reviews. Not only were they accomplished musicians but they were also very approachable. They also provided a DJ service in between their live sets at no extra cost. I will definitely book them again."

"Lovely is a triple threat, she sings, she dances, she entertains. Booking her on regular occasions was a pleasure and a blessing. When she’s on stage, everyone can relate to her; she’s got the ‘fierce’ and humbleness at the same time. She has the right energy, wit and the spark in delivering a show. I am never worried, no matter how big an event is, as long as she’s the vocalist, you can relax because she has the flare and talent to make the crowd go wild. Lovely is very gifted, I hope that her ladder will continue ascending for her to reach the stars as she belongs on the biggest stages and I know that her talent can inspire other people too."

"What a cracking night we had at The Plough recently. The band got us all up dancing and singing along with loads of well known crowd pleasers! Can't wait to see them at their next gig."

"Carly and Matt were amazing! Their played as a duo for our drinks reception, sang our first dance, did our band set and DJ all evening. Carly was great from start to finish and kept in contact nothing was too much trouble. We even went to hear them practicing so we were sure before booking - Myself and my husband were so pleased with the service, our guests raved about them - we highly recommend Taylormade! Thank you again in making our wedding day perfect! Claire and Mark Higgs 4/10/2014 "

"We booked The Illumination Band for our wedding, and they were fantastic. They had a wide range of songs that appealed to all our guests. Their performance was professional and engaging, and they really helped to create a fun and lively atmosphere. We’re so glad we chose them for our big day."

"Avoid this woman. We paid her £380 to play for an hour and a half in the woods during our wedding ceremony and drinks reception on Saturday 10th August, 2019. She played for half an hour before the ceremony and then wouldn’t play the remaining hour because she claimed the conditions weren’t appropriate. Her reasons are as follows... her fingers were too cold (it was 20 degrees) and a small branch fell on the wedding celebrant who was no way near Cecily (the celebrant carried on like a profession, I hasten to add). I asked Cecily for the money for the hour back and she refused. I therefore, am going to be looking into what legal action to take as I am not happy paying £380 for someone to play for half an hour! Cecily ruined our wedding day so don’t book her... she could ruin yours, too! "

N/B: Please note this booking was private and not through Last Minute Musicians. If it had, then the LMM contract would have made clear that the musician reserves the right to protect their instruments (and themselves) if the working environment become unreasonable or dangerous. On this day the MET office had issued a yellow warning for gale force winds and the weather conditions were a cause for concern. The wedding took place in a wood and as well as the celebrant being hit on the head by a falling branch, a much larger branch fell inches away from my harp after the ceremony. It is always difficult and upsetting to have to make the decision that it is unreasonable to continue playing when it is somebody's wedding day. I did, in fact, manage to play for 1/2 an hour before the ceremony and during the ceremony itself. When it was clear after the ceremony that there was no available option of moving inside, and after much consultation with ushers and friends of the couple, I made the decision that it was no longer a safe environment to work for me or the harp. I was assured by those I spoke to that the bride and groom would understand. The cold was a factor (high winds make the temperature feel much colder, and I would like to add several guests did put on their coats. I was also kindly offered a jacket) but not the reason for having to curtail this booking after 1 hour of playing. It is sometimes possible to deal with the ill effects of playing in the cold but the issue here was the lack of back up plan when the weather made the working environment dangerous. Nobody should be expected to work in an unsafe environment or put their extremely expensive and delicate instrument (as well as themselves) at risk when their livelihood depends on it. I would hope that having managed to play before and during the ceremony (and before the couple departed for photographs) that the decision made did not ruin anyone's wedding day. Naturally I am saddened when anyone feels dissatisfied with the service provided and I have never had a negative response to my performance at a wedding before. With best wishes, Cecily

"Hi James, Many thanks for performing at our fundraiser, you and the band went down a storm with our guests but just as importantly you were a great people, friendly, fun and professional. We raised over £4,000 which is brilliant. Hopefully our paths will cross again at some point but in the mean time Jean and me wish you all the best for the future. Regards Grahame Russell"
