We booked the Ben Harker Trio for a work celebration and they were excellent. In the run up to the event they communicated clearly and were punctual on the night. Their playing was wonderful and just what we wanted, creating a lovely ambience and great sound to our event. Would recommend!

Ben played at our wedding (Sept 2015) and created the perfect atmosphere and ambience. All guests commented that it made the day even more beautiful. He comes highly recommended!

Ben's Trio set the perfect atmosphere at our wedding reception and brought that extra level of class to our special day - a lot of guests asked where we found him! Personable and easy to deal with - we highly recommend.
