Review Centre: Wedding Ceremony Musicians

"Bethany Jane and Galen were fantastic in every sense. They played at our wedding and, once booked, they organised with the venue all the logistics, so I didn't have to worry about. They were extremely professional, but also very nice and friendly. And, of course, they put on a great show for everyone, that got us all dancing and singing!"

"I cannot recommend Mike Collins highly enough. From beginning to end, he was professional, flexible and a joy to book. My Mum and Dad (sadly) couldn't travel to Liverpool for my engagement party, and so Mike was tasked with bringing Liverpool to them, and boy, did he do just that! He surprised my parents and made their night one to remember, with joyful dancing and singing along in their garden. He really was the most kind, compassionate and wonderful entertainer for the job! He made my mum and dad's night, and what a talent you are, Mike! Playing all the hits from The Beatles, to Gerry and the Pacemakers and some rock n roll greats in between! I cannot thank you enough for the joy and happiness you brought to us all. You went above and beyond and videoed the whole thing so not only could we watch the joy once our own party had ended, but so my mum and dad have this very special memory to watch again and again! You also laminated (and beautifully delivered!) my little speech to give to my parents - again, a very kind touch and something they can treasure forever. I am over the moon with your service, and will be booking you again in the future as you are worth every penny. Thank you, from our whole family, for being incredible, Mike! Stay safe x"

"Kate played at our wedding celebration party at Ye Olde Bell in Barnby Moor on June 1st. She is such a talented violinist, with a huge repertoire, and played tirelessly throughout our drinks reception and meal. Her music was enjoyed by all our guests and helped to make our party a very specal evening. Kates husband, James, was our DJ for the night. He succeeded in getting all ages on the dance floor (from age 8 to 80) and kept us going into the early hours!I would thoroughly recommend both Kate and James. There were both extremely professional and worked hard to ensure we had a fantastic evening."

"Perfect addition! Gerard played for three hours at our Provence wedding—before the ceremony, after, and during the cocktail hour. I asked for Bridgerton vibes, and he absolutely delivered. My only regret is not having him play even longer."

""From the moment I contacted Dave I knew he was the saxophonist I wanted to have play at our wedding, he made the booking so easy from start to finish and for a busy bride I can not express how wonderful that was. Thank you so much Dave for being part of our day and completing my dream of having a truly exceptional saxophonist on our special day.""

"These guys are top class. There wasn't a dry eye in the house when Alkka sang a beautiful rendition of my favourite song ‘A Galway Shawl’’. Their music together is mesmerising and their smiles and enthusiasm are something else too. We absolutely loved every song they played/sang. They are so easy to work with and extremely obliging, learning songs and sending recordings and just generally being gorgeous. I cannot recommend them enough. Xx AMAZING "

"Jennifer 5.0 Perfect for our little mirco wedding--and no stress to work with Jennifer was one of those vendors you book and don't have to worry about. She was clear about what she needed and once we provided information--she was there. When we asked for our music to come as a recording to be used for our rehearsal, it file was great. Booking ceremony music is hard because, as a bride, you never get to hear them until you're walking down the aisle. But all of our guests commented on how great it was to have her perform a list from classic Bach to Blink 182. She helped us to create some very important memories and I've so grateful to her for that. Highly recommend! Sent on 12/Sep/2024"

"IT WAS billed as A Night At The Musicals, and it was certainly a title which attracted a packed house to the Howden Park Centre last Friday evening when Darren Shaw and three dancers took the stage and sang and danced their hearts out. Two for the price of one took on a whole new meaning in this show in which we, the audience, were encouraged to join in with some of the well known songs. If you looked around, all you could see was a sea of smiling faces having a great time reminiscing and sharing some of their favourite moments from the musicals. This was courtesy of one very talented young man sporting a George Clooney haircut and diamond earring, some nifty costume changes, an incredible voice range and an endearing smile. Using a variety of spectacular, if sometimes dazzling lighting effects, and the obligatory dry ice creating an atmosphere that makes the singer appear suspended in clouds, the show began with a spotlight into which sauntered Mr Shaw in top hat and tails singing On The Street Where You Live, from My Fair Lady. Once again the excellent acoustics of the Brian Duguid Theatre played host to emotive, full orchestral music courtesy of impeccably timed tapes. Maybe it was just a shade loud in the first half which saw something very unusual and totally original. Everyone is familiar with The Sound of Music and the recent Connie Fisher version of The Hills are alive. Enter Darren Shaw looking splendid in lederhosen, like a denizen of Austria and straight from the Alps. To everyone's amazement and some barely concealed audience mirth, he became a soprano and made the hills come alive in his own special way. As the show progressed, the format of two songs by Mr Shaw interspersed with dance routines by the hardworking dancers began to win us over. For the first time ever, the famous duet from Grease, You're The One That I Want, was sung by Mr Shaw who performed the male and female parts. Using his falsetto voice – an attribute which was once taught in Italy in the middle ages resulting in the singers being known as castratto (please, don't ask) – Shaw sang the SuBo hit from Les Miserables as he duetted with himself in I Know Him So Well. In The Phantom of the Opera sequence he once again sang the famous duet which takes Christine, the soprano and The Phantom to perform, all by himself. As for the three dancers, two glamorous blondes and a bonny brunette, they proved their versatility by dancing a variety of styles from musical comedy to modern with a brave attempt at Irish River Dancing which drew cheers from the audience. The finale saw Shaw resplendent in a mint green sparkling shirt and matching flares with the dancers in glittering jump suits so there was no doubt that we would hear something from Mamma Mia and we certainly did. This night at the theatre was indeed a feast of tunes from the musicals which at first, thanks to Mr Shaw's dual voice, seemed a little hard to digest but soon became an acquired taste."

"...Adrian, the sax player we booked. We received great communication with him throughout and couldn't have asked for more. Our guests all commented on how talented he is and they all really enjoyed his song choices. He made the atmosphere for drinks reception perfect!"

"We could not have been happier with Jeffrey's performance and service. He communicated well in the lead up to the event. He was punctual and set up efficiently and discreetly. His performance was fantastic and he played exactly the type of music we had discussed prior to the event. Often corporate events can be quite dry and he added some much needed atmosphere to our event. Many guests commented that they had enjoyed the music. Additionally, Jeffrey was very understanding when our start time was delayed slightly. Overall he was an absolute pleasure to work with and I hope to hire him for future events."

"Jason is exceptional!!! We were blown away by his professionalism, kindness and above all, his piping, which completely enhanced our elopement style wedding at Glencoe Lochan and helped us make some very special memories to last a lifetime. It was an absolute privilege to have Jason pipe for us on our very special day. Thank you so much Jason!"

"The Mercury String Quartet was beyond accommodating and professional. Even prior to booking there is a sense of personal detail. They will work with you and discuss the precise preferences needed to fulfill your event. Not only did they take on learning unconventional songs for our wedding, they performed them perfectly, and arrived well over an hour prior to their scheduled performance. Highly recommend if you're looking for professional musicians who aren't afraid to step outside the box!"
