"We were absolutely thrilled with Samuel’s performance at our wedding. His musical talent added an extra layer of magic to our special day. From the beautiful melodies during the ceremony and the tailored pieces for the bride and groom, they exceeded our expectations. Samuel is a true professional in his setup, smart attire and a warm and easy person to communicate and work with. Thank you Samuel for doing an amazing job on the day. ❤️

Congratulations on your special day. It was a wonderful wedding day. I enjoyed playing the Bollywood themed music and popular songs for the ceremony and dinner. The food was also excellent. Thank you for booking me for your very special day. Best wishes Sam

Samuel was fantastic. He learnt multiple pieces both classical music and pop songs (Dire Straits, Fleetwood Mac, Van Morrison) and perfectly accompanied my brother singing Fields of Gold. He mastered our playlist in 10 days and was accommodating when we had to change one song. He was very professional and friendly. We are so glad we booked Sam for our civil wedding ceremony and highly recommend him.
