I have no words to express how amazing Brian's performance was at my wedding. He was a surprise to my fiance and was extremely communicative in helping me to pull off the surprise. He played as a solo guitar and he had us dancing on the dance floor for 3 whole hours. I highly recommend his service and I do not doubt that I will be booking him again in future events. Brian thank you wholeheartedly for making our day so special with your music.

Brian was great! He kept me up to date with all communications and let me know what type of music he could offer. My party was a mixture of ages ranging from 18-70 and everyone loved every second. Would definitely book again!

Brian, Wow what can we say!! You were an incredible addition to our wedding! Made even better by getting you out in the sunshine to play for all our guests!! We can't thank you enough, you were honestly brilliant. You picked all the perfect tunes & so many people commented how good you were!! Dancing as newly weds to 'She is a Belter' in the sunshine is definitely one of the highlights of the day!! Thanks for everything!!! Lauren & Craig

Brian went out of his way to learn the many songs requested in advance by our guests. Brian is an incredible musician both vocally and on the guitar and also an amazing performer. He gets everyone on the dance floor and really gets the crowd going! He tailored the evening to meet all of our requests. I highly recommend Brian for any event but he was absolutely perfect for our evening music at our wedding. Thanks Brian! Thanks again :) Sarah & Euan
