"Mary was absolutely wonderful. She is a lovely young lady with a beautiful, soulful voice, who really lifted our party out of the ordinary. She was really accommodating, learning a couple of our favourite songs for the night as well as her fabulous repertoire, and delivering every one note perfect. We would definitely book Mary again and one of our guests has asked for her details for their own party. Thank you so much."

"Venezuelan soprano Sofia slipped in, in splendidly soulful isolation, in sleepy-slinky Barnes. Sofia’s charm comes from an ability to engage with her audience with vivacity, a slow waving of the arms or a thumbs-up cheekily pepping things up. This was a two-way process, for the audience, although in their own homes, were there via a livestream chat facility, commenting, praising and importantly requesting numbers. What were requested? Jazz standards, show numbers and some current pieces rubbed shoulders with languid classics sung in French or torrid numbers in her native Spanish. The jazz standards were impressively and beautifully sung. Cole Porter’s 1944 classic, Ev’ry Time We Say Goodbye and Meredith Willson’s 1950 show tune ‘Til There Was You, had just the right balance of poignancy and warmth of these post-war nostalgic gentle pieces. The mood changes, but not the sincerity of the singing, with the traditional folk song, The House of the Rising Sun, retaining the blues feel of a song that became the “first folk rock hit”. Then, we were transported to the late sixties with the Aretha Franklin version of I Say a Little Prayer For You. Her skill in Latin American music was epitomised by the famous bolero, written by Mexican songwriter Consuelo Velázquez, Bésame Mucho. Sofia’s soft but passionate treatment of the lyrics harked back to the dreamy sensuality of the 1940 original. I expect many of her fans were responding by blowing her lots of kisses. Nevertheless, it was not in a Spanish song that Sofia excelled, but in French. Of course, it had to be Edith Piaf’s immortalised song to love, La Vie en Rose. Perfectly rendered, both in words and music, and fervent in its performance, she expressed exactly the powered of infatuated love. Great stuff, and good to see today’s vie en rose. In these straightened times, we all need occasionally to see the world through rose-tinted spectacles. "

"With her beautiful voice and piano playing, Alex created the perfect atmosphere at our wedding reception. Alex crafted a set list with songs across the decades and music genres, which meant there was something for everyone. She captured the moment and excitement of the day with her captivating performance. Alex is a true professional who we will be recommending to our friends. "

"I’m so happy that we booked Drew for our intimate ceremony at Corffe House in Barnstaple in July. We didn’t realise at the time of booking how key he would be to our day, but at the last minute our ceremony had to be moved inside! Drew was flexible with this and his perfect renditions of our favourite songs created such a beautiful atmosphere throughout the house. He played our entry and exit for the ceremony and then moved location for our first dance and even played throughout our meal which was so special! I loved being able to speak with Drew beforehand to discuss the songs we loved and he completely tailored the playlist to us which was so special. Thank you for making such a special contribution to our day Drew ✨"

"Sam the Guitarman was fantastic at our wedding anniversary party. He played two sets for us - first one being his Upbeat song choices and second one was Ballads whilst our guest ate. Both were fantastic - he has a beautiful voice, fine guitar-playing and a delightful stage presence. Sam is definitely going places and one to book while you can!"

"We booked Liam for the full day for our wedding on the 17/02/24 at the Inn on the lake Ullswater. We chose our ceremony songs and our first dance songs and left the rest to Liam. we were torn between two first dance songs and asked Liam to blend the two together and we were thrilled with the outcome. All our guests were and still are commenting on his performance throughout the day . It was amazing to have him playing after the ceremony and during the wedding breakfast and then into the evening reception . Liam has a great repertoire of music and even sent me demos of songs that I requested prior to the wedding. We had seen Liam play at a few venues in Manchester over the years and we’re thrilled when he agreed to perform at our wedding . Thank you Liam for being part of special day."

"Dear Henry. Many thanks for coming to be the life and soul of my party on the 28/1/17. It was great to see you again and you were fantastic playing all 3 pianos as planned! I loved the ambience that you created in the first part of the evening when you played the baby grand. It felt so warm and graceful as guests arrived to a glass of bubbly and your beautiful playing. I loved that you moved into the sitting room and played the upright, finding still more in your incredible repertoire. Finishing in the marquee was a super idea as it made the party progress to the next stage of dancing and relaxing. Thank you for all your hard work. I don’t know how you do it? I hope you did take some breaks ( I wasn’t aware of any?) I also hope you were offered food and drinks. You are a very special and professional performer and I appreciated everything you did. I had a fantastic birthday party and you were a big factor in it. I hope it isn’t so long before I see you again! Best wishes, Julia "

"Hi Henry, I just wanted to say we had the best time on Saturday night. Our guests danced all night and you kept the mix of music just right, according to moves on the dance floor. Some guests said it was the best party they had ever been to. Thanks so much for putting on such a great performance. My feet haven't quite recovered yet! I'll be recommending you to all! With thanks, - Hayley and Nick, Southampton area - (40th birthday party, private house)"

"Sam was amazing on our wedding day - he is a very talented pianist, and we fully recommend him for any event in future. We got married at Marylebone Town Hall on a very hot day in June - despite the weather Sam turned up looking super smart in a suit which matched the London wedding vibe. He was very accommodating in the lead up, with great communication and putting our minds at rest regarding the playlist. We were delighted - some great renditions of Oasis and Stereophonics to keep Nick calm whilst he waited, Kings of Leon for the entrance and Toploader for our exit. Many guests said how brilliant he was and it brought such a special atmosphere to the start of our day. We loved every minute! "
