Review Centre: Wedding Ceremony Musicians

"Thanks Dan, for performing a brilliant set for our party. Everyone at the party commented on your great song choices and your performance. You're also a genuinely nice guy and I wish you every success. Anyone wanting a solo artist to perform for them should look no further than Dan. (10 / 10)"

"One of the hidden treasures of London is the range of talent that exists on the folk and acoustic scene that rarely get the acclaim they deserve. Three London based bands that excel at performing Eastern European/Balkan Music are Szapora, Mukka and Beskydy, each of whom are worth looking out for. Nine strong Beskydy perform songs and tunes from across Eastern Europe and beyond, in fact looking at the sources on their cd listing is almost like a tour around that part of Europe, from Macedonia to Hungary via Galicia and Bulgaria and taking a detour through Slovakia. The bands name itself comes from the range of mountains that run through the centre of former Czechoslovakia which according to the band has heavily influenced their musical choices whilst they turn their hand to music from a range of sources (excellantly). The first track is a Macedonian song, Jovano, Jovanke (click here to hear the song) and the range of Joanna Fosters vocal skills are further displayed in the three Slovakian songs that make up track 4, from the slow Janosik to the more up beat cheery Anicka Dusicka and A Ja Taka Dzivocka although Foster and the band manage to intertwine the tunes with sufficient skill so the songs merge as one. Again Track 9 is a duet with Accordian player, Peter Murphy, joining Foster on the Macedonian song Iz Dolu, along with some damned fine fiddling. The range of Beskydys musical skills are illustrated well by the instrumental tracks ranging from the delightful Slovakian Waltzes (Track 5) to the slightly more manic Tropanka from Bulgaria (track 10) and onto the ordered upbeat and furious synthesis between sax, fiddle and accordian that is Tantz, Tantz Yiddelekh (a wonderful Galician Jewish tune), yet again garunteed to result in limb movement, a delightful fusion of fiddles and saxaphone, furiously creating a wonderful atmosphere one that demands a physical response. One very minor complaint is the sleeve of the CD, it would be nice (or do I just lead a very shallow empty life) to have some information/lyrics or even translations of the songs, something about the origins of the tracks. That said its more than possible for bands with large bank accounts to produce nice extensive sleeves but not so easy for bands whose talents lie in their music rather than some slick marketing agencies. It would be impossible to identify one part of this cd that could be said to stand out more than the rest. The band have produced an album that is thoroughly enjoyable from start to finish - the question that comes to the fore when listening to this is when is the follow up going to be available? "

"Alan played at our wedding whilst guests were arriving and throughout our wedding breakfast. Song list was huge with plenty of of choice. Alan was absolutely brilliant and made our special day even better. Would highly recommend to anyone. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Thanks Alan, take care. Michael & Ashleigh.  "

"Contar con Mónica el día de nuestra boda para la ceremonia religiosa fue todo un acierto. Desde el primer momento estuvo muy abierta a escuchar todo lo que queríamos, adaptándose a nuestras peticiones y guiándonos con mucha cercanía. Durante la organización, siempre estuvimos en contacto, haciendo seguimiento y cuidando cada detalle para que todo saliera perfecto. El día de la boda su actuación fue preciosa: tocó con una sensibilidad y profesionalidad increíbles, creando una atmósfera mágica que hizo nuestra ceremonia aún más especial. Sin duda, la recomendamos al 100 %."

"The atmosphere that m-SAX created at our wedding reception was amazing !! Young and old loved it and the compliments we received were fantastic. Working with Mark was so easy from start to finish . Easy to book , professional and reliable. Extremely talented musician that worked with our venue DJ perfectly and played many songs from our days of night clubs and holidays which guests loved . We included mixed eras to please age groups and every single song was played amazingly. We purchased inflatable saxophones for the children but have received videos of adult guests that normally don’t step foot on a dance floor up dancing and pretending to play alongside having a fantastic time !! We genuinely cannot recommend highly enough honestly , absolutely the best decision we made for our evening reception and will always recommend to others !! Thanks again for everything and making our wedding reception amazing ! Even our venue commented on what a fantastic atmosphere it was :)"

"Stephen did an amazing job at my wedding. He was able to play a customized playlist and learned a song that we really wanted for my walk down the aisle. He was super responsive to all of my emails and requests. He made the process very stress free. He is also an amazing musician and everything sounded beautiful!! I highly recommend!"

"We booked Horizon for our summer party and they were fantastic. The booking process via the platform was simple, and Andrew was great at communicating with us before the event. On the night, the band delivered a masterclass in live entertainment. The vocals were stunning and the band was incredibly tight. Definite crowd pleasers!"

"We were so lucky to have Antonella as our harpist on our wedding day! She is from San Gimignano in Tuscany and she is amazingly talented! Antonella made our ceremony and cocktail hour feel like a fairytale, she is amazingly talented and such a lovely person. She knows many popular songs as well as traditional wedding ones and even learned a few of our favorites for us! She was such a pleasure to work with leading up to the wedding, and sounded beautiful on the day, exceeding all of our expectations. She made our big day so special and was such a pleasure to work with! "
