Review Centre: Medieval / Historic Ensembles

"When we were looking for a musician to play at our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour, we really wanted to have someone who not only had an amazing sound, but who would be willing to personalize our song selection. We can't say enough about Stephan, he is an extremely talented classical guitarist, very professional and he really went above and beyond! He learned 10 songs for us that were not in his repertoire and he did such a fantastic job of every single song he played! We received so many complements from our friends and family and highly recommend him. Thank You So Much Stephan for all your hard work and for making the music on our special day absolutely perfect! :)"

"My fiance (now husband) and I were interested in having a musician play during our outdoor wedding ceremony and cocktail hour. My wedding planner sent us a few suggestions. My fiance (who has a background in music) was particularly impressed with Stephan so we decided to go with him. I am glad we did. Stephan was great. The music was lovely (we chose a mix of Hawaiian and contemporary but he also does classical) and a good match for the venue. Several guests complimented his playing afterward at the reception - overall we were completely satisfied with Stephan Kane and would highly recommend him."

"If music be the food of love, then heritage musician Peter Bull has enough on his menu for a medieval banquet... Peter’s popular recitals and talks really brought the hall to life... visitors were able to enjoy a truly authentic 17th century experience. "

"Hands-down, Simon is possibly the finest piper I have ever booked for a funeral service. Not only is he an excellent piper, he is also reliable, immaculately turned out and a pleasure to deal with and he is our first choice for a funeral piper in Herefordshire."

"A great guitarist! We initially talked to him because we liked his playing style and arrangements from the samples on his website. Stephan is a guitarist's guitarist who really cares about the craft. This is something that shows through in the music. It turns out he's also a good person and very easy to work with. "

"Stephan was such a wonderful performer at our small and intimate ceremony at The Palace of Fine Arts. From the get go, he was super responsive via email- I was shocked with how fast he would respond to my queries! It only took a few emails to secure his performance time and date. He then provided me with his library of songs- I chose the ones I wanted for our ceremony and it was smooth sailing from then on out. He arrived to the ceremony on time, played beautiful music, and really added some extra magic to our special day. Guests noted that they loved his presence. He was kind, professional and just what we needed for our procession. I would highly recommend booking Stephan for your next special event!"

"Stephan delighted us with his wonderful music during my daughter's wedding. He was a joy to work with, experienced, and is a quite talented musician. Stephan went above and beyond our expectations from the very start and had a keen sense of timing during the ceremony. I highly recommend his services to any and all who are looking to fill their wedding with exquisite music. Stephan is a true professional of his craft and we have felt very lucky to have found him!"

"Wonderful! Stephan is an incredibly talented musician, and charming young man. I completely trusted him to make my daughter’s wedding ceremony exactly what she wanted – very unique and special. I gave him a list of some special songs and a general idea, and he magically made it happen. These were all pieces that were completely non-traditional that he had to acquire and learn! I cannot express to you how amazingly perfect his performance was; timing, skill, intuition, and beauty."

"Then there was the unforgettable Peter Bull. This amazingly versatile minstrel drew another capacity crowd for his marvellously entertaining offering called From Bad King John to Good Queen Bess. Hurdy-gurdy, recorder, dulcimer, cittern, flute, lute and voice were put to work for a fast moving 90 minutes of splendid medieval and Elizabethan songs and dances."

"We highly recommend Stephan Kane, he was awesome! At our request, he played Spanish/classical guitar prior to the ceremony, our songs of choice for the processional and recessional, and cocktail hour. We were so grateful when Stephan offered to learn our song of choice for the processional. Stephan was lovely to deal with. On the day of the wedding he was very professional but friendly when someone wanted to have a chat. He was responsive to our emails and when we asked for help with the selection, order and style of the songs for the processional and recessional he was very informative. Stephan is a phenomenal guitarist and our guests commented on how talented he is. We are so pleased with his service, attire, demeanour and professionalism. We would hire Stephan again in a heart beat!"

"Stephan played at our wedding recently and was a wonderful vendor: professional, friendly, and the music itself was lovely. He was very flexible about the un-forecasted rain at our outdoor ceremony too! In searching for vendors I ran into a few homophobic musicians/other vendors, but Stephan wasn't fazed by a LGBT wedding at all. I highly recommend Stephan for any wedding!"
