We asked Neil to join us on our wedding day for the pre and after the ceremony. He contacted us as soon as we made the booking. We went and watched him play at a local pub prior to wedding so we knew what songs we would choose. He was brillant. He interacted with our guests, and gave the wedding a real bustle. Would recommend to anyone Very talented!

Thank you for an amazing night. The way you switched from chilled background music to full on party mode was simply awesome!

Customer questions

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

That’s absolutely fine. I understand that things can change, even at the last min. Let’s keep in contact and work around anything that comes our way! :)

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

Yes, absolutely - this is all part of the service at no extra cost.

How much time do you need to set up?

I can be set up and ready to go in 15mins. Usually I will set up 1 hour before the performance time. As soon as my PA is set up I can provide a free playlist service to help set the atmosphere and get your guests ready for the live performance!

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

My set list is crafted from countless performances and learning what works best to ensure guests have an amazing time. However, I am definitely happy to chat through and make sure we find what works for you and I will always accommodate a few specific requests :)

Do you bring all the equipment you need to perform?

Yes, absolutely. And I always bring back ups in case of technical issues.

Can you learn specific pieces before the event?

I am happy to accept a few specific requests. Anything over 2 additional songs would incur a small cost of £15 per song to take into account rehearsal times. Unless I already know the song of course.
