Chloe hired Gemma Kateb for a Wedding (available in Waltham Forest)
"We booked Jessica through Encore for a very intimate wedding with just 12 guests on April 30, 2026 at Clarette Restaurant in Marylebone, London, and she was absolutely incredible from start to finish. Her communication leading up to the day was excellent—she was so accommodating, open to our ideas, and really took the time to understand exactly what we wanted. On the day itself, her playing was simply beautiful. She created such a warm, emotional atmosphere that perfectly suited the small, personal setting of this wife-and-wife wedding. Every piece she played felt meaningful and added something truly special to the moment. One of the most special touches was that she learned a Filipino song—the couple’s favourite—which they danced to for their first dance. It made the moment even more personal and unforgettable. The couple was truly moved by the performance. The highlight was a surprise performance we had arranged for the newlyweds—it completely exceeded expectations. It was so moving that it brought them to tears, and honestly, everyone in the room was emotional. There wasn’t a dry eye among us. It’s a memory we’ll all cherish forever. If you’re looking for a talented, professional, and genuinely thoughtful musician who goes above and beyond, I couldn’t recommend Jessica more highly. Truly a 5-star experience."

When I asked if she could include a few songs from my culture, she accepted without hesitation—it was such a thoughtful, lovely touch. I would recommend Jessica for weddings 100%!"

Take the stress out of hiring musicians with Encore
Can any wedding breakfast musician play my favourite song?

You can view the wedding breakfast musician's song list on their Encore profile.

My venue has asked for the performer’s PLI & PAT inspection certificates. What are these?
PLI stands for Public Liability Insurance. This insurance covers damage to another person or their property (it is also known as third party insurance). As many of our wedding breakfast musicians are members of the Musician's Union, they are already covered by PLI up to £10 million. PAT stands for portable appliance testing. Most of our wedding breakfast musicians will already have a PAT inspection certificate for their musical equipment/PA system, which they can provide to your venue if they need it.
