Phil & Jan" Based in Frimley, England (15 miles from Basingstoke) Phil Tickle & Janet Greening - Wedding Photo of Murielefrenchsinger Murielefrenchsinger "It was a pleasure having Muriele Frenchsinger perform at this year's Concours des Légendes at Wilton. Her set was a great addition to the event, and she brought a lovely atmosphere that our guests really enjoyed. Muriele is professional, easy to work with, and a talented vocalist. I would highly recommend." Based in Winchester, England (17 miles from Basingstoke) 24th August 2026 Geoff Love - Concours des Legendes Wilton House Photo of The Bossard Quartet The Bossard Quartet "Absolutely fantastic! Highly recommend The Bossard Quartet! We booked The Bossard Quartet to play at our wedding originally scheduled for June 2020. With the pandemic, we had to re-schedule our wedding not once, but twice! Amy was really helpful both times and we were able to re-book for our eventual date very smoothly. We finally got married in June 2022, and TBQ played during our wedding ceremony and the drinks reception afterwards. We really loved the vast repertoire of songs that we could choose from which really helped make the ceremony our own! They sounded fantastic too. All our guests loved having TBQ play during the drinks reception - and particularly loved the Juke Box feature where guests could request any song they wanted from the huge repertoire! So many of our guests have commented about how great TBQ were. We are so grateful to you for making our wedding day extra special, and at such a reasonable price! Thank you!"

Not only that Kate is a gorgeous person and looks stunning! Kate was very conscientious in the build up to the event and went out of her way to ensure that the day went smoothly ,a very professional performer. The singing was so good that both the bride and groom were reduced to tears... can't say better than that. I would recommend Kate Stevens to anyone and would be happy to be contacted for a reference." Based in Andover, England (18 miles from Basingstoke) Tim Belson - Wedding
