Review Centre: Wedding Ceremony Musicians

"We had toyed with the idea of a saxophonist at our wedding reception for a while, debating whether it would fit into our budget, but then we came across Laura, who offered a very competitive quote, that even included travel. We're so glad we booked - our guests (and us) loved what Laura brought to the evening; she was able to adapt to the music quickly, and she worked perfectly with our DJ. We kept her a surprise from guests and she arrived promptly and discretely to keep this up. We would definitely recommend Laura if you're considering a saxophonist for your event."

"I cannot recommend Camille enough. Her voice is absolutely beautiful. She sang at my mother of the bride speech and also after the ceremony and made it so special. I am sooo pleased i chose her. She sings effortlessly and her presence was incredible. She also is a dab hand at sewing you into your mother of the bride dress if you have a wardrobe malfunction! Thank you Camille xx"

"The Bit Band was a wedding game-changer! They were not just musicians; they were a key part of the magic. Their exceptional talent, versatility, and engaging stage presence had our guests dancing all night. We couldn't be happier with our choice - Bit Band made our day unforgettable."

"We were absolutely thrilled to have Beach Symphony play at our wedding! Their music added such a beautiful, emotional atmosphere to the day. Despite the uncertainty with the weather — we were holding out hope for an outdoor ceremony — Beach Symphony handled it all with grace and professionalism. They played so beautifully while we took our time deciding whether to move things indoors. The personalised song they played as Melissa walked down the aisle was incredibly moving, and the music during canapés was just perfect — elegant, joyful, and so memorable. They truly helped make our day feel magical. Highly recommend!"

"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"

"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? "

"What a fantastic and talented man Jan is, he played the saxophone and joined in with the other singers that I had . Everyone at my party said how great he was. I would always recommend Jan to all my family and friends. Hope to see him again in the future. "

"Although I didn't know Make Music Memories before, I trusted them with a very special occasion, my daughter's wedding. They exceeded all my expectations. They rewarded my trust by finding the perfect musicians for the big day and I would like to publicly thank them not only for their professionalism but for their genuine care and warmth."
