"I hired Matthew for my 50th birthday party and am so pleased that I did - he was exactly what I was looking for! I selected him on the basis of the quality that I saw on the website, and felt that he was even better in person. Being somewhat fussy, I was apprehensive about finding someone who could meet my needs, but Matthew suggested that we had a meeting before my event and we chatted through my ideas and preferences - as well as the things that I did not want! I came away feeling that he understood me and that we had connected, which was incredibly reassuring, and I was not let down on the night. Matthew is an incredibly talented singer and guitarist - recreating songs in a way that not only reflects the original, but often putting his own twist onto them in a way that keeps them fresh and interesting. His use of the loop pedal was particularly impressive! It was of note that so many of my guests commented on how good he was - they had a great time and really got into the swing of things as he gradually turned up the tempo and got everyone dancing. In doing so, he took requests, interacted with the crowd, showed a good sense of humour and came across as a fun, friendly and approachable guy. He played a wide range of songs, all of which reflected our discussion beforehand, with a great balance between those you might expect at a party and some 'surprises' that may be less common but worked equally well - if not better! I would definitely hire Matthew again, and would recommend him to pretty much anyone: he has a list of nearly 500 songs to choose from, and has a strict policy of not having a 'usual' setlist - instead preferring to engage in a discussion of what you'd like, so would be able to cater for all tastes - even mine! Thanks so much Matthew - you turned a great night into an incredible night!"

Thank you so much for your review Ian - I was genuinely touched! I’m so happy that you enjoyed yourself, especially as I know how anxiety-inducing it can be to organise your own birthday party and feel responsible for everyone’s fun! I loved the atmosphere created by your guests and it was such a pleasure to see you and your friends all dancing together. I hope I can play for you again one day! - Matt

"Seps is the best!!! My husband and I got married last week at Falkner Winery in Temecula and Seps was the absolute star of the show! All of my guests have been raving about how good he was and made the night so unique and unforgettable. He was incredibly easy to work with throughout the wedding planning process, and I did not personally have to handle any of the coordination or communication with our venues DJ. Seps and him met multiple times prior to the big day to make sure the grand entrance, dinner, and reception were seamless. My husband and I are big DJ people, but we knew that having a live instrument to pair with the music would make the experience more interactive and fun. Seps absolutely brought that and everyone was on their feet the entire night thanks to him! He’s incredibly professional, easy to communicate with, and friendly with other wedding guests. Do yourself a favor, and book with Seps! The price for the value he adds is an incredible deal and you won’t regret working with him. He will elevate your event and be the highlight of the night!"

"I owned a business that serviced weddings and corporate events nationwide for 10 years. Brandi was a featured vocalist with us for 2 years and I've never worked with a better vocalist. I repeatedly hired her to play cocktail hour whenever a client requested that we provide musicians for their guests. Brandi was ALWAYS my first choice because her acoustic performance is flawless both in song list and execution. Nobody does it better than Brandi Paige!"

"Highly recommended! Andrew sang and played the guitar at our wedding, and he did so beautifully and with great feeling. The communication beforehand was excellent, everything went perfectly on the day, and looking back, we couldn’t be happier! Everyone was thrilled! We can’t recommend Andrew highly enough."

"Brilliant is the most apt description of Scotty. He was punctual and our guests loved his playing and singing and we couldn’t imagine ever booking anyone else for our future events."

"Favorite song played at birthday event Ayden was terrific! He arrived early and got settled /prepped very quickly. We had a last minute conflict come up that pushed the start time back significantly and he waited patiently and was professional until the end. It was also a challenging / rare song to play and he did it very well. Would definitely recommend him or use him for my next event."

"Damien and his band were absolutely excellent. A veritable human juke box, so responsive and flexible when I ran into some venue snags. All my guests commented on how great the music was. Can’t recommend them enough!"

"Seps made it a night to remember Seps is an incredible talent to work with. He's responsive, creative, polished, and brings such amazing energy to an event. I hired him to play an EDM / Tropical House one hour set during my 40th birthday as a surprise for my guests, and it was unforgettable. He was thrilled to take wacky direction, like a surprise grand entrance, learned all of the requested songs, and nailed the performance by engaging with the guests and bringing great vibes. I would hire him again in a heartbeat, I just need to keep coming up with occasions. Thank you Seps!"

"I was looking for an English singer who was based in Cyprus for our wedding in 2017. I found Dominic Holmes and listened to some of his music, he sang a variety of different songs and I really liked his voice. My husband and I were thrilled when Dominic agreed to sing at our wedding, we chose all the music we wanted and we were not disappointed, he was fantastic and a hit with all ages.of our wedding party. Book with Dominic Holmes and you will not be disappointed, he is absolutely FABULOUS ?"
