Samuel's Reviews

5 out of 5

Very very late to review but Samuel played at our wedding in late August. He was absolutely phenomenal and we could not recommend him enough!! He kept up with the demands of my crazy family lol and was so friendly all throughout. He definitely was one of the best parts of the wedding day and we cannot thank him enough!

We booked Sam for our wedding day and from the get go, Sam was very professional and got in contact to run through the day and to see what we wanted to have played. Despite many changes, Sam remained happy to help and work with us and also sending recordings of songs when we needed inspiration. On the day, Sam arrived in very good time, with all his equipment and looked the part too. Sam played exceptionally on the day and was an amazing highlight for not only myself but also my guests. I am so happy with Sam and his work and I would recommend him in a heartbeat.
