Paul's Reviews

5 out of 5

Paul performed at a family party. He was brilliant and made the night very special. Music choice was a great mix of classic, popular and Ibiza. Nobody wanted it to end. I would definitely recommend Paul. The communication prior to the party was also really good, to discuss song choices and set up arrangements. It was just perfect.

Thank you Suzanne. It was a great party and I thoroughly enjoyed playing for your wonderful guests. 😊

Paul was sensational and the ultimate professional. He performed during our processional and drinks reception and was absolutely brilliant. A friend of mine sang during the signing of the register and he went above and beyond allowing her to visit his studio to rehearse and put her mind at ease ahead of our wedding. Can’t recommend him highly enough - thank you for helping make our day so special!

Paul was fantastic, a really valued addition to our day. He can really play and his range created a fantastic mood during the early stages of the wedding. We can definitely recommend Paul. Thanks again.
