George's Reviews

5 out of 5

George recently played at our wedding and was fantastic! His communication is brilliant. From when we first reached out to him, he would always reply promptly and is so friendly. He made sure to have regular contact with us beforehand and nothing was too much trouble. He played the all the requests we wanted. He played sets around the ceremony, drinks reception and wedding breakfast. His smooth style of jazz and covers of Motown, funk and others set the perfect atmosphere for the day. We had so many compliments from guests praising his set. George really made our day that extra special. Thanks mate. Couldn’t recommend him more!! Megan and Danni

Firstly George, we just want to say thank you so much you were absolutely fabulous!! Your communication from start to finish was great and nothing we asked for was too much!! We had George play Sax for our wedding at Swancar Farm and Country house, Nottingham and he was amazing. We had guests from Italy, Switzerland, Jamaica and of course UK! Of all ages, and everyone thoroughly enjoyed George’s energy he fit into the day perfectly! We are so pleased we chose you to play! From the first set to the last you matched the vibe of our guests I hope you had as much fun as we did!! Mimi & Alessandro 22.07.2024

Customer questions

What if my timings change after I've booked you?

I always try our best to be flexible to help ensure your event runs as smoothly as possible. If timings change slightly in the run up to the event please let me know on the day. If there are big changes which change the timings by more than an hour I will need 48 hours notice to make travel arrangements and confirm if this fits around my schedule on the day.

Can you provide an iPod/DJ service before and between your sets?

I can this is an additional £150.

How much time do you need to set up?

Normal set up time takes about half an hour. If I need to be relocated to another area for different parts of the day then set up and pack down needs to be taken into consideration when planning.

Can I pick the pieces you play from the set list?

My set lists are have been tried and tested at countless events, and after learning what works best in all situations I have narrowed it down to the songs listed. However I am happy to chat through all of them to make sure it works for you.

Do you bring all the equipment you need to perform?

Yes.

Can you learn specific pieces before the event?

You can make requests for me to learn and perform your favourite songs! This all depends on how long I have to learn the requested songs before the event, and whether the backing tracks are available for me to purchase.
