I booked John and Creswell Sound & Vision at very short notice for my early retirement party after being let down, and chose them due to the positive reviews on this site. He did not disappoint. From the onset he was very friendly, professional and helpful. He was also very accommodating with the suggestions for a playlist we had put together and also great at reading the room. The sound quality and lighting equipment was superb and all my 90+ guests had a great night with many questionable dance moves on show . Thank you John, we will definitely be requesting your services / recommending you if/when we have another function.

John worked with us completely, down to our timings, venue, even moving around the in the venue. Nothing was too much. Absolutely brilliant service, great music for my son age 4 and daughter age 10, joint birthday party. Even though there was quite an age gap, John catered for everyone there and got everyone involved, even with the games. Completely professional and would recommend to anyone. We will definitely use him again. You won’t go wrong with John. Thankyou.
