Caroline's Reviews

5 out of 5

Caroline was amazing! Better than we imagined. She met the vibe we wanted and did not disappoint. Look forward to future bookings 😊

Caroline was perfect! She arrived with no problems and was all set up and started playing as soon as we left our ceremony room as requested! She was also super flexible and was more than happy to move from inside to outside part way through her set when we realised it was sunny again outside and wanted to have our wedding reception drinks outside! Everyone loved her music and playing and it was exactly what we needed and could have ever imagined for our wedding day! I would recommend Caroline to anyone!! Thank you for being a part of our wedding Caroline!

Caroline was amazing at our wedding party - sadly we had to leave in a rush (A&E trip for the new husband 😅) so missed the music, however all our guests said how wonderful Caroline was and how she played the saxophone so expertly - gutted we missed it, but we’ll just have to book Caroline for another event in the future! Thank you so much x
