"I cannot recommend Nigel highly enough. From initial contact through COVID postponement, change of venue and type of wedding, Nigel was easy to work with, adaptable and accommodating. His range of music is extensive from church / classical processional and recessional to popular music from all decades. He even played Annie’s Song on our first wedding date which was beautiful (look on Facebook!). We had so many positive comments on his playing which was eventually at a church and garden marquee event. Thank you for being such a big part of our amazing day"

"I booked Richard as a surprise for my daughter at her wedding as she had always wanted to walk down the aisle to a violinist - we couldn't be more delighted with his performance. The wedding was held in a barn and as you walked towards where the ceremony was held you could hear the violin playing which was just magical. Richard was so helpful and accommodating, playing everything that we asked for and more, he even played Laura's aisle walk music again for her as she wanted to re-live the moment (it was a short aisle!). After the ceremony, Richard played in the background, loud enough for everyone to hear, but also be able to hold a conversation. His contribution really added to the relaxed vibe of the wedding, but I can imagine that he would be equally at home in a more formal setting. We had so many compliments with regard to Richard's playing, I am sure that he will be receiving many more requests from people attending the wedding and the venue itself who were super impressed. Not only was Richard's violin playing excellent his communication before the event was brilliant, answering emails promptly and sending us a run down of what would happen on the day. My family and I send our best wishes and thanks to Richard for being part of the wedding and helping to make our daughter's day so special."

"Nigel played on a grand piano at our wedding drinks reception at Shuttleworth house, Old Warden. Every piece played was beautiful and kept in with our theme. The music set a warm and joyful atmosphere on a very cold day. Nigel is very polite and made time to speak to guests after his performance. I highly recommend, it added a very special touch to our very special day. "

"Robbie is a fantastic Pianist, managing to set the tone perfectly, for any occasion. Robbie is an excellent musician and extremely organised, the whole experience from initial enquiry to performance was a great experience. We would recommend Robbie to anyone considering a musician for their special event!"

"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. "

"Pete was professional at all times and very accommodating, consulting over the music, offering a rehearsal to a member of the family who was singing during the ceremony and making very helpful suggestions. He has a good repertoire of music suitable for a range of occasions. We really appreciated his contribution to our family event - his music made all the difference to the ceremony and the reception afterwards. "

"Vikki truly made our wedding ceremony more special playing gorgeous cello music. From booking, Vikki provided a very extensive song choice list with lots of great options. She also offered to learn any music we might want that wasn’t on the list- and amazingly did this and played my desired entrance song. She was a pleasure to deal with and really added magic to our wedding day xx "

"Nigel played during our ceremony and during our cocktails & canapés time post ceremony. He was absolutely incredible! Our guests really enjoyed his wide range of music. Right from our first email exchange, Nigel was on hand to help make our day as perfect as possible. He was an absolute dream to work with and we highly recommend him to all couples in the future. Thank you for learning those new songs for us - it meant a lot to us and we will have those songs with us forever. "
