  2. booked Ruth Potts for a wedding

    Verified

    Ruth was very professional and is so incredibly talented! She played for half an hour before our wedding ceremony, during the ceremony and for half an hour after. She created the perfect magical atmosphere that we had imagined at our beach wedding in Cornwall. We had so much wonderful feedback from our guests saying how beautiful she played and how it tied everything together perfectly. We can't wait to see the wedding videos to watch it all play out again and again! Stunning! She also learnt and played our favourite song 'how does a moment last forever' that I walked down the aisle to. A dream come true! Thank you Ruth xxx

  3. booked The House Devils for a wedding

    Verified

    The House Devils played for our wedding this weekend and all of our guests had a fantastic time taking part in the Ceilidh. The caller Michelle was excellent, really funny and got everyone up dancing! Thanks Mat and Jim for the great music. The only feedback I'd give is that some of you looked a bit bored at times and it would have been good to see more energy in the performance! But not a major issue and we had a great time. Thanks again for playing for us.

  4. booked Martin Sean McConnell for a wedding

    Verified

    We booked Martin to provide music in the evening at our wedding reception. Martin played two sets on his guitar, and kindly provided music for the rest of the evening through his PA system. We had a fairly small reception so were initially a bit worried about getting enough people dancing, but Martin really got everyone engaged, to the point where the venue had to kindly ask people to stop jumping as they were worried the ceiling would collapse. Martin was very professional throughout and had a call with us a couple of weeks before the event to go through everything and understand what we were looking for. Everything went very smoothly on the day and we were just able to relax and enjoy ourselves. All our guests had a great time, thanks to Martin!

  7. booked Glenda Allaway for a wedding

    Verified

    Glenda was a dream to work with from start to finish. On the build up to the wedding she responded very quickly, offered us suggestions and even pre-recorded some songs in order to help us decide. Glenda asked for our wedding theme and dressed to fit in with the occasion. Since the wedding we have had a lot of comments from our guests as to how brilliant Glenda was, and how she made the ceremony one to remember! Overall we would like to thank Glenda for everything that she did for us, she was a great addition to our wedding! I would recommend Glenda to anyone!

  9. booked The Mixtapes for a wedding

    Verified

    Fantastic wedding band! Set up was flawless, punctual and professional. They had everyone dancing from the soundchecks through to the end of the night. Dan was super friendly and helpful when I needed help plugging my phone into their sound system - especially when they were supposed to be on their hour break! The setlist we chose was a perfect mix of 'their version' of the song, and the original. My only complaint is not with the band but with Encore bookings who's automated systems drove us a little mad when we booked. We also tried to get in touch with them with a query about the booking and heard nothing back until 2 weeks before the wedding. In the end I contacted Dan on his mobile directly who was very understanding and helpful considering.

  10. booked Wiltshire Piper for a funeral / memorial service

    Verified

    Tony was incredible. He played at the funeral for my mum. He was reverent, dignified and everyone who attended the funeral commented on how beautiful his piping was. Tony's timing was perfect. He left a lump in my throat. I could not have asked for a better Piper. It made me very proud to be a Scot. On behalf of my family a heartfelt Thank you Tony.
