Very good. Unfortunately our caterers ran late, but Adam provided good music that was much appreciated

5 out of 5

Adam was excellent, his communication throughout the process was spot on and played songs not on his list which was amazing. He arrived prompt to the venue and let me know what his plan was. He was absolutely amazing before and during the ceremony and all our guests commented on how amazing his music was. Thank you so much, would reccomend to anyone!

Adam performed before our wedding ceremony as guests were arriving and for the aisle walk, as well as performing with a vocalist for the drinks and canape reception. Guests were all very complementary on how the set list for the ceremony was pitched perfectly, and the songs felt very appropriate for the occasion. The afternoon performance was also a hit, with the guitar and vocals providing a nice backdrop to the reception. I'd certainly recommend Adam for any wedding celebrations!

5 out of 5

Adam was great from start to finish. He was easy to communicate with, very professional and performed his set beautifully at our wedding. We would definitely recommend him. Mr and Mrs Swain!
