Review Centre: Wedding Ceremony Musicians

"We booked Cruiziq for our wedding cocktail hour and it was one of the best decisions we made. The music was elegant and uplifting, and it set the tone for the entire evening. He was professional and easy to communicate with throughout."

"Thank you SO MUCH! All of our guests have been talking non stop about your performances, how friendly and professional you are and we couldn't be happier with how it went on the day. Ours is the first wedding we've been to where a party broke out in the evening turnaround before the evening party even started - you read the crowd perfectly!"

"Sarah’s voice gave us chills, Mauro’s sax set the mood, and the entire band played with such passion. We danced, we sang, and we had the best time of our lives. Music&Soul didn’t just perform—they created memories we’ll cherish forever."

"Jörn und Adrian haben vom ersten Moment a die Stimmung auf unserer Hochzeit perfekt “gelesen” und spontan schon mal die Party nach dem Kaffeetrinken angeheizt. Wir haben bis spät in die Nacht getanzt und die Jungs haben einfach für eine unvergessliche Stimmung gesorgt. Danke, dass ihr so Gas gegeben habt! Zu den nächsten runden Geburtstagen seid ihr fest eingeplant😉"

"Even on a murky February morning (2005), the first performance in July of our new commission doesn’t seem too far away. Jane Roper tells us about the composer and the composition: Howard’s way If you ever get a chance to talk to Howard Haigh about composing, take it. He has a huge range of experience, good insights into the creative process, and he communicates his enthusiasm for his work so well, I guarantee you will be both enthralled and inspired. And now he's working for us! I thought you might like to read a bit of background to his career and to his current commission. Although Howard is happily settled up north in Lancaster he trained near us; a BA Performing Arts/Music at Middlesex Polytechnic was followed by a Masters in Music/Composition at the University of London. He studied composition with Brian Dennis and David Bedford; had tutorials with Michael Finissy, George Benjamin and John Cage, and studied flamenco guitar with Paco Pena, Juan Serrano, Manuel Granados and Titi Losada. We think of him principally as a Spanish guitarist, but he also studied mandolin, keyboards, percussion, harmonica and vocal techniques. He has written for most instrumental combinations, from solo guitar, small ensembles and string quartets to bands, girls’ choirs, large choruses, electronic scores and computer music. Howard combines composing with teaching throughout the north west. He has taught guitar at Lancaster University since 2000. He is a member of the English National Ballet's Education and Community Unit, and is engaged in outreach projects in schools throughout England. The nature of this work may range from musical accompanist to residencies in which he composes an original score for a short performance. He has done similar work for Ballet Rambert and the Royal Ballet. His work has been performed at the Barbican, the Royal Festival Hall, Sadler's Wells (for the Queen) and the Purcell Room; and at festivals in Edinburgh, Brighton, Cheltenham and WOMAD. One of his great strengths is his ability to collaborate with people from a wide range of performing disciplines. I've found out that as well as working closely with singers, dancers, and actors, he has also worked with jugglers, comedians, strippers, a skiffle group, film makers and performance artists. No problem working with us then. And then add a massive list of theatre companies, musicals, community projects and commissions and it's no wonder he's always out when I call. In the 1980's Howard composed some extraordinary pieces using unusual instruments. Body Music used claps, stamps, clicks and slaps. This was followed by Kitchen Music. I bet you didn't know that Alan Titchmarsh played the saucepan in this on Pebble Mill. There was also a pre-Prom show on Radio 3 featuring unusual percussion prior to Evelyn Glennie's performance. But by the late '80s his explorations were focusing on vocal writing. Crouch End Festival Chorus gave him an exciting opportunity when they commissioned him in 1990. I heard them perform Saeta again in the Barbican last January. It was sensational. I can't even remember what the second half standard-repertoire piece was; I was still high on Howard's piece and wanted them to sing it again. "

"We couldn't recommend Matt highly enough. He was extremely helpful in the run up to the wedding and his communication was excellent. The day timings didn't go to plan but Matt was very understanding and worked his sets around us. He played a great mix of songs and kept all of our guest entertained, including our 2 flower girls who even got to use his guitars and sing a duet. We would have Matt back in a heartbeat and you won't be disappointed! (10 / 10)"

"Top Act! Wij hebben allemaal ontzettend genoten van saxofonist Tal. De act sloeg enorm goed aan op alle leden en ik kreeg meerdere positieve reacties van ze. Tal speelde leuke hitjes en meezingers, wat goed paste bij ons feest! Zeker aan te raden! "

"Eleonora è stata chiamata per deliziarci con le sue meravigliose melodie in una baita del Trentino durante una festa folcloristica abruzzese. Che dire, è stata meravigliosa! Ci ha stupiti tutti, unendo il violino con musica techno in maniera impeccabile. Professionalità, disponibilità e cordialità garantiti! Super consigliata! Alla prossima!"

"Ho scelto Michela per valorizzare la cerimonia del mio matrimonio e oggi sono davvero convinto di aver fatto la scelta più giusta ! Michela, oltre ad essere una professionista indiscussa, ci ha seguito anche nelle fasi precedenti al nostro grande giorno dandoci consigli e soprattutto dedicandoci tempo! Abbiamo avuto il piacere di avere Michela accompagnata da una delle sue fidate violiniste anche durante l’aperitivo ! Grazie Michela !"

"Jan is incredible, we had a small wedding at the Cromlix and he did a few sets mixed between piano and sax. I had let him know from the set list what songs I generally like and he was so good at reading the room to get the perfect atmosphere. It couldn’t have been any more perfect and so many people commented on how great he was. Thank you so much again Jan, highly highly recommend."

"Eduard and Marti gave our wedding a touch of class and unmatched elegance. We were looking for live music to complement our cocktail hour, giving it just the right prominence so that guests felt comfortable and surrounded by a good atmosphere, but at the same time allowed them to socialize and have fun without constantly being surprised by loud voices or constant rhythm changes. From the first moment, we saw that Swite Duo was going to give us all that, and they did, they are capable of leaving all the guests with a 'Wow', of enchanting anyone because their combination of instruments is spectacular, but at the same time allowing the guests' energy not to be broken at any moment. We are tremendously happy and grateful that they have been and continue to be part of the memory of that special day."
