  1. booked ZHL STRINGS for a wedding

    Verified

    It was my husband’s idea to have a violinist play at our wedding – we both love music in general, but the simplicity and beauty of instrumental music for our wedding was something he really wanted, so I began exploring options when I came across the amazing ZHL Strings. We hadn’t thought about a string quartet, but after watching just one video of one of their performances we were hooked! We proceeded to watch many more and I was blown away reading through their positive reviews. This is a group that is highly professional and talented, but they are also full of energy, upbeat and have great fun with what they do, which very clearly translates to fun for everyone lucky enough to see them live. To be this talented as a group, but not take yourself too seriously is incredibly humbling and admirable. We were SO grateful to find they had availability for our day. I mainly coordinated with Jim, who was nothing but accommodating and flexible all throughout and in the lead up to our wedding day. We didn’t want to dilute or in any way take away from what they can do by being too prescriptive, but we did ask for three songs at the ceremony. ZHL Strings were familiar with two of the songs we’d asked for and learned the third song just for our day – it was truly amazing and helped make the ceremony personal. On the day, they were on time and collaborated extremely well with our celebrant and coordinator. Everyone who came into contact with any member of ZHL Strings had nothing but positive things to say. Our guests were blown away at our champagne reception – we had so many comments about how incredible the music was. The highlight of my day was when they played the Pirates of the Caribbean theme tune – this light-heartedness and playfulness really made the entire event stand out, and is so aligned with how my husband and I are as people. I cannot recommend ZHL Strings enough, and I absolutely think it is a no brainer to book them (if you can) for your event. I know I won’t go anywhere else in the future!

  9. booked Julieta Iglesias for a wedding

    Verified

    I cannot recommend enough! Julieta played out our wedding in August 2023. There was absolutely no competition at all when we saw her play the first time – even a person with no understanding of music would be able to immediately see how skilled she is. She plays piano so beautifully, with an incredible repertoire of songs. We actually felt lucky that she’d accepted our request to book and we didn’t want to stifle her creativity in any way, so we asked her to play what she thought was appropriate for the moment. We're so glad we did! All our guests commented on how wonderful her playing was and how it completely transformed the atmosphere of the whole venue into elegance. Aside from just her incredible playing, Julieta is an extremely warm and friendly person to work with. She is very professional and set time up with me to discuss the plans and timelines for the wedding day. She was also responsive all throughout from the time of booking until the wedding day. On the day itself, she turned up early and needed very little guidance at all, she just followed the timelines and everything was remarkably seamless. I highly recommend Julieta to anyone looking for an show stopping pianist. Personally at any opportunity in the future, I would love to work with her again - in a heartbeat!

  10. booked Bon:Stovi Ceilidh Band for a wedding

    Verified

    We hired Bon Stovi to play at our wedding and would highly recommend them to anyone after a top notch ceilidh band. We had a very friendly introductory call with them where they talked through how best to schedule the ceilidh and provide reassurance around managing a relatively large crowd many of whom would be unfamiliar with ceilidhs and would not have English as a first language. They were very considerate, friendly, and professional throughout the whole process. They set up quickly and unobtrusively, and quickly got people up and dancing. The calling was excellent throughout, and everyone had a blast. The musicianship is of a really high standard and they have a really great energy about them. An absolutely amazing bunch (with an equally amazing name), and we are very pleased to have had them perform at our big day.

  11. booked Cornel Oprea for a wedding

    Verified

    Cornel was absolutely BRILLIANT as the pianist playing during our ceremony. He welcomed our guests with beautiful jazz standards, played a custom song for my dad and I to walk down the aisle, and then powered through about 4 hours of playing until it was time to move to the pub. He showed equal measures of expertise and heart, and he was such a lovely person to have around during our special day. Would hire him again without hesitation. Thank you for the incredible service and talent you shared with us Cornel!
