Adam's Reviews

- Wedding in Italy Holy cow where do I even begin?! You were incredible, and set the vibe so high from the very start of our day. Rhys had been absolutely giddy to see you perform and I'm so glad we had some quality time just soaking up your music and being newly weds watching you to kick off the cocktail hour. Your voice is incredible, and it's safe to say everyone lovedddd the set list. We had people raving about you all day and night long, and couldn't believe you'd flown over from the UK! We are so, so appreciative. And genuinely would love to come see you next time you're playing in London - and hopefully finally get that drink together! Cheers again, you absolutely made our dream day come true.

- Wedding in Italy We can't thank YOU enough! You made cocktail hour(s) for me and were a highlight of the day for us and many - I tried to pass on some of the compliments but honestly lost count of how many you got! Thank you to Kelly for allowing me to just stand there and enjoy it all from a prime view.
