Hi, I’m Tom — a Hertfordshire-based wedding singer and guitarist specialising in live looping. I create music that captures every moment, from heartfelt ceremony songs to upbeat evening singalongs. With my looping setup, I layer guitar, percussion, and harmonies live to deliver the energy of a full band — all from one performer. If you’re looking for personal, feel-good wedding music across Hertfordshire and the South East, I’d love to bring your day to life.

Tom's Reviews

Tom really made my 40th celebration- he had everyone dancing!

5 out of 5

Having Tom perform at my party was the best money I could have spent. His setlist was spot on and included all of my favourite hits from the nineties up to the present day. His voice was incredible, and his looping skills were so impressive! Everyone loved him! We were all up dancing and singing our hearts out—we didn’t want the night to end! Thank you for making my night so special, Tom. I can’t wait to organise another party so I can book you again.

We found Tom through local advertising and boy were we impressed! Tom performed a 90 minute set during our wedding drinks reception at Milling Barn, Buntingford. He brought an amazing energy to the day and our guests were blown away by him, we had so many compliments from guests and our suppliers. Tom learnt Taylor Swift songs especially for us as I’m a huge fan and absolutely delivered. I would highly recommend booking Tom for more than one part of your day, in hindsight we wish we’d done this as we were pulled away for photographs etc and missed most of his set. We decided to go see him at Tewinbury Farm for a post wedding date night and what a talent he has! Incredible Tom, thank you!

Customer questions

Can you provide an iPod/DJ service before and between your sets?

Certainly! I'm happy to keep the music going through the break to maintain the atmosphere, and there's no extra charge for that.

How much time do you need to set up?

I typically set up approximately an hour before the performance. Once my PA is ready, I'm more than happy to offer a complimentary playlist service to enhance the atmosphere and prepare your guests for the live performance!

Can I pick the songs you play from the set list?

My set lists are curated from numerous performances, ensuring an amazing time. I begin with acoustic favourites to set the tone, then transition to energetic party vibes with feel-good classics. I’m open to discussing your event’s needs and happy to learn a special song, such as your first dance, as part of the service.

Do you bring all the equipment you need to perform?

I use the Bose L1 Compact Portable PA system. It's a discreet one-speaker system with a powerful design, ensuring excellent audio quality and portability.

Can you learn song requests before the event?

Yes, I can learn a special song request before the event. If the song isn’t on the list, there’s still a chance I might already know it. A special song, like your first dance, is included in the service, allowing you to personalise your event and make it truly yours.
