Danny James 's Reviews

5 out of 5

Danny played at our wedding for pre ceremony, during & drinks reception. What can we say apart from wow he was absolutely amazing. We had already chosen our ceremony & exit songs to be played from his list but I wanted to walk down the aisle to ‘your’e still the one’. I had arranged for the hotel to play this over their sound system but on the day Danny let me know that he had practiced the song & was able to play this for me. This was a wonderful surprise and made it made it so so special for us. My advice to anyone organising a special occasion book him, if we could give 11/10 we would. All our guests loved your performance Danny. Thank you so much once again, you helped to make ours & our guests day. Clare & Leyton x
