Stephen Michaels

I saw Stephen play Kendal Calling and asked if he played private parties. I ended up booking him for my New Years Eve party and we had an absolute ball. He made the whole evening fun and having live music just made the night special. He even provided a DJ service between his sets which we weren’t expecting but really made a difference too. I’d recommend him in a heartbeat!

Absolutely fantastic singer and entertainer with a hugely versatile catalogue of songs. Stephen was a pleasure to work with a we really enjoyed working with him regularly! His performances were just brilliant and so many of our customers commented.

We booked Stephen to play at our wedding 20th wedding anniversary party and we’re so glad we did! So many of our guests were asking about him and commenting on how good he was. We asked if he’d perform a mixture of recent pop with songs from 70’s 80’s and 90’s and he did. By the end of the night, almost everyone was on dance floor, exactly the way we wanted it to go. He’s a really friendly guy and so professional. We’d book him again for other parties and I think a couple of our friends have booked him for other parties since!

Wow! Where do i start?... Me and my husband first heard Stephen sing at a friends birthday, we were amazed! When we started planning our wedding i knew exactly who i needed to book for the reception!I kept it a surprise as i knew the hubby would love it! Stephen was so friendly and helpful; his professionalism liasing with both me and the venue took a massive weight off my mind. On the wedding day the meal ran over later than expected, Stephen was so lovely about everything and was so calm and relaxed. I asked him to play a bit of whatever he thought for the wedding and he got it spot on. I requested his song 'smile' as it's my favourite. All our friends and family, of various ages were up dancing, having a fantastic time. His musical range is amazing both accoustic and up-tempo. He even got my mum and carer up on the dancefloor which doesn't happen often! Our wedding venue let us down with the music for the disco that was to follow after Stephens set, as you couldn't hear our first dance song or any of the disco music. Stephen saved the day as he stayed later and played extra songs. We decided to pay a little extra to say thank you, as he truly went above and beyond. All our guests mentioned how fantastic Stephen was, and how much they enjoyed it, which was lovely to hear. I would highly recommend Stephen for a wedding or any other occasion, he is worth every penny and he made our wedding day evening very memorable.

We weren’t sure about whether to book live music online because we’d never done it before! Stephen’s voice is so good though and his energy onstage is great. I’d recommend him for anyones party because he just sets a great tone and knows when to up the tempo to get everyone going. He ended up playing 30 minutes longer than we booked him for at the end of the night and we tipped him nicely because he was so accommodating! 10 /10

Stephen sang at our wedding and we simply wouldn’t have wanted anyone else. He sang us through our first dance and went on to entertain our family and friends with some of our absolute favourite all-time songs. Stephen is not only a talented singer and musician, but a complete professional. He won everyone’s praise and admiration and we felt proud having him play such a big part in our special day.

Stephen did me the honour of singing me down the aisle on my wedding day. He sang A Thousand Years, a song close to my heart and extra special to me and my husband. I also asked Stephen to perform our first dance, which he gladly took this in his stride. No song was off limits and made our day extra special, I could not have asked for anything else. I would recommend Stephen to anyone that would love a musician at his or her wedding. He has amazing voice and makes every song his own and special just for you.

Stephen performed at our champagne reception and it really set the atmosphere beautifully. All of the guests commented on how impressive he was and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him.

We have used Stephen twice for our John West Annual Conference evening events. These events are for approx. 120 people to celebrate the year gone and energise ourselves for the year ahead. We want our team to relax after a long day of presentations and activities and to do that we brought in the services of Stephen to provide a soundtrack of acoustic hits to support the evening events. For one such event, we were able to request a playlist from our team which Stephen expertly managed to provide! On both occasions we have used him, we have received glowing feedback from our team for his performances, it was exactly what we were looking for and in fact we are looking to utilise him again for our event at the end of January. I would highly recommend Stephen for any similar events as I have found him very accommodating and wanting to ensure his customer was happy, whilst remaining completely professional at all times.
