It was very nice to have Ricky - personable, co-operative and a lovely musician - play jazz piano at our wedding reception, and we’re happy to recommend him whatever the occasion.

Jacky played at my wedding reception this weekend and was absolutely amazing. He captured the tone that we wanted and played all of our special songs effortlessly. My wife, I, and all of our guests would highly recommend to anyone!

I found it so easy to book On the Rocks for my wedding reception. The email correspondence was very quick and easy and they took all my wishes and requests on board. I wanted some upbeat jazz to create an atmosphere for my wedding reception, and this is exactly what On The Rocks did. They played beautifully! I didn't have to worry about any logistics once I had given them all of the info and they liaised directly with my DJ to ensure they were making use of the space and equipment at the party. I would absolutely book them again for a future party - they are very talented and great value!
