Liam Paul "Liam sang at our wedding ceremony on July 2nd 2022 and he was just amazing. His communication before the wedding is great and so relaxed. He sent us clips of what his version of a song would sound like which was so nice of him. His renditions of our favourite songs during our special day meant so much to us. My family commented after the wedding that they’d never walked into a church with such a relaxed and fun atmosphere already set before the ceremony had even started. And that was all down to Liam’s singing and persona during the build up to the ceremony. Would absolutely recommend!" Based in Wilmslow, England (185 miles from Edinburgh) Llinos Tarbucl - Wedding Ceremony
