Sammy Hughes' Reviews

“Sammy wowed all our guests with his amazing performance. He was super easy to work with, understood exactly what I was after and his music really brought the whole ceremony together.”

Sammy composed a version of my wife and I's favourite song, and played during the registration of the ceremony. he then played beautifully as we had cocktails and drinks before our evening meal. Great to work with and played amazingly.
