Yuki's Reviews

5 out of 5

Yuki played at our wedding in July at the Old Marylebone Town Hall, and we couldn't have been happier with his performance. He was very professional from start to finish. When I contacted him, he responded promptly and provided us with a wonderful selection of music for the wedding. On the day of the wedding, he arrived at the town hall ahead of time, ensuring everything was set up without causing us any stress. His performance was beautiful, and our guests thoroughly enjoyed it. Yuki's music added an extra special touch to our wedding ceremony. I would highly recommend him for any special occasion.

I was amazed by the quality of Yuki's playing, he is a whole band of his own and my party got so much more sophisticated when he started performing! Would 100% recommend.

Customer questions

What if my timings change after I've booked you?

I will always try my best to accommodate you as much as I can and be flexible as long as you let me know and give me enough notice providing it doesn't interfere with another event I have booked.

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

I can absolutely do that free of charge and you can let me know what kind of music you want to be played so that your guests have the best time.

How much time do you need to set up?

I usually need around an hour for set up and as soon as this is done I can provide a playlist until the start of the performance.

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

My set lists are crafted from countless performances and learning what works best to ensure guests dance and have an amazing time. However, I'm definitely happy to chat through and make sure we find what works for your event.

Do you bring all the equipment you need to perform?

I bring everything to your event, you don't have to worry!

Can you learn specific pieces before the event?

If a song isn't included in our song list there may still be a chance I already know it.
