Scott was a magnificent addition to my father's celebration of life reception - he made it truly special and many of the guests commented on how perfect it was, particularly the tone and atmosphere that Scott curated. He was also very communicative beforehand, which was reassuring as it was my first time using Encore. I would highly recommend.

Ahmed was perfect at our wedding. His playing was beautiful, and he was a calm, lovely presence. A joy to have, and incredibly easy to work with. He also went above and beyond, not only playing the entrance and exit music for our ceremony, but also learning a new piece with barely 48 hours notice, when I finally decided what I wanted to end the ceremony. He, of course, played it beautifully. I cannot recommend him highly enough!

It was a joy to have Jon play for our wedding ceremony and reception. As an intimate ceremony in the garden, Jon's music provided a beautiful backdrop and elevated the whole thing. He played a selection of classical and latin music and his own compositions, which were all excellent. In the lead up to the day Jon made everything very easy, he also supplied all his own equipment and the sound quality was great

Oliver went above and beyond to deliver on our requests, even accommodating a late request for a few chords outside his song list. Thank you for making our wedding ceremony even more emotional and beautiful!

Lovely Emily is lovely, gentle performer who provided the perfect welcome with Spanish guitar tunes during a cocktail event. She was a delight to work with - great communication and super polite and friendly.

Alan was incredible - both in the lead up and the day itself. He recorded our aisle song for us and shared it ahead of time and even added a new song to his repertoire for us. He was also incredible on the day, and looped part of the song when we had a slight mishap with a relative that meant the precessions were delayed! 10/10 would recommend.

Adam was fantastic in every way, a great friendly presence to have around on our wedding day and a top-tier musician to boot! Highly recommend him for any event.

Gerard was outstanding. He is self-evidently a guitarist of the highest calibre and he worked hard to ensure that his part in our wedding achieved the intended effect. We would definitely hire him again. Nigel A-F

Kieran was absolutely fantastic. He stepped in a couple of weeks before our event when the other musician we had booked had to cancel. He was very proactive and made sure he had everything he needed at the venue. He provided the most perfect atmosphere for our drinks reception - thank you Kieran!

Emily was fantastic. She went above and beyond for our event. She was very friendly and responsive during the booking process and got in touch periodically to confirm the details of the day. She learnt a new song for us, which she played beautifully, and provided a great atmosphere for our event. Our guests mentioned many times to us how amazing the music was. She was very friendly with our venue staff and set up perfectly without us even noticing! We would highly recommend her :)

We are so pleased we chose Billy to play for our wedding. He selected the most perfect music to suit the mood for each part of the afternoon and even learnt a few new pieces for us. To top it off he even accommodated my last minute request to sing with his accompaniment . This made our wedding a really personal and intimate event. Thank you Billy!
