Saxophone Simon - Party Sax - Xmas/2026
"Simon was absolutely fab! He took us through a lot of options and we went for light music during photos and with our DJ for the reception.
Having Simon play was a real highlight of the day. He was amazing and so many guests said just how fun it was. There were a few songs me and Steve really wanted - he really got what we were looking for with the music for the day.
We loved him and I don’t think it would have been quite the same without him playing and the atmosphere he naturally brought.
Great guy and a really great day"

Acoustic Coverband Gold Collective
"We booked Gold Collective for our wedding in Amsterdam where we had to keep the volume down, but we still wanted people dancing—and they made it happen! Everyone loved the cajón player; his beats brought so much energy and got everyone moving.
Sorry we didn’t get to say goodbye properly—we were still busy chatting with guests who kept telling us what a great party it was! We’re looking through the photos now and smiling all over again. Thank you for such a brilliant evening!"
Jazzrain
"Jazzrain was exactly what we were looking for.
They managed to make our wedding unique.
The violinist, accompanied by the keyboard player during the ceremony, made everything more magical.
The aperitif with a jazz rhythm gave the right atmosphere.
The singer's heavenly voice was the icing on the cake. Finally, the drummer Mattia, who accompanied us throughout the whole process with the choice of songs, was truly available, prepared and super professional. We could not have made a better choice for our big day"
