Mel'S Acoustic
"⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Highly Recommended!
I just want to say a huge thank you to Mel’s Acoustic Entertainment for making my birthday celebration so memorable!
The live acoustic performance created such a warm and elegant atmosphere. Mel has an amazing voice, great song selection, and knew exactly how to keep everyone entertained throughout the night. He was also very accommodating with our song requests.
What made the event even better was the DJ karaoke alternates during Mel’s breaks. Instead of having silent pauses, our guests enjoyed singing their favorite songs, dancing, and staying entertained the whole evening. It kept the energy high from start to finish!
The sound quality was excellent, everything was professionally organized, and many of our family and friends complimented the entertainment. Everyone had a wonderful time, from the older guests to the younger ones.
If you’re looking for entertainment for a birthday, wedding, anniversary, corporate event, or any special occasion, I highly recommend Mel’s Acoustic Entertainment. The combination of live acoustic music + DJ karaoke is absolutely worth it!
Thank you again for making my birthday so special. I would definitely book you again for our next family celebration!

Niamh Murray
"If you are looking for a wedding singer and pianist, look no further than Niamh. She was absolutely amazing from start to finish.
Niamh was incredibly responsive to all my messages and so accommodating—she even learned lots of new songs just for our ceremony. She truly went above and beyond by recording a piano track so my choir friends could sing along with her, and she effortlessly learned a new hymn for them too. She also recorded her version of a dance song to be played at the reception for the first dance.
Niamh is just the nicest, kindest person and an incredibly talented musician. I have zero hesitation recommending her to anyone. She made our church ceremony so incredibly special!"

"Zora was extremely helpful after I had found their work through youtube; helped with creating an original ost for my upcoming short film. They took feedback well whilst offering their own insight to how they could better enhance the performance.
Would recommend to anyone!"
Mr ALBOH
"Mr. Alboh showed us many facets as a musician, and he played a central role in creating our special day.
During our wedding ceremony, he created a deep and moving atmosphere with his music. After the ceremony, during the aperitif, he seamlessly transitioned into the role of a real mood machine. His commitment and his ability to respond to the mood of the guests contributed significantly to the exuberant and cheerful atmosphere.
All our guests were delighted with Mr. Alboh. They particularly appreciated how well he was able to relate to people. His interaction with the audience was warm and genuine, and it was obvious that he is passionate about what he does.
Later in the evening, Mr. Alboh proved his versatility by also acting as a DJ. He provided a perfect selection of music and kept the dance floor full throughout the evening.
In summary, we can say that Mr. Alboh gave us an unforgettable day."
