Adam's Reviews

5 out of 5

We hired Adam to perform at our wedding ceremony and reception this August and couldn't recommend him any higher. He was utterly fantastic! His communication in the run-up to the day was brilliant and even when travelling from quite a distance to our venue Adam was bang on time, if not early! We were so impressed with Adam's playing, our guests absolutely loved him and we received so many compliments throughout the day. An exceptional, lovely and super professional musician, thank you Adam!

Adam was the perfect choice for our wedding ceremony. His performance truly set the tone and vibe for our wedding and he made the ceremony feel incredibly special, we were all very impressed! Adam was highly professional and communication with him was great. The song requests for the aisle, signing, and exit were executed flawlessly, adding a personal touch that made the ceremony fun, relaxed and authentic. Adam was able to mix up a variety of tunes, including classical, Spanish Latino, and modern pieces. We had our wedding at Council House Market Square in the ballroom and Adam also played during our champagne toast. His set definitely helped to create a special atmosphere thanks to his exceptional talent! Thank you!
