    Ontario saxophonist Igor Babich

    London Two Cellos
    "Nicola and Laura played for my wedding (both cellists), at the ceremony, reception and wedding breakfast. String Musicians have made it so easy and stress free for myself, during the planning and also on the wedding day. Once I told them what I wanted for the music (from the style of music to specific pieces), I did not need to worry about anything else. They worked with the registrar from the council to coordinate cues during the ceremony, so the transition between music pieces was seamless. Many guests commented how well they played throughout the day! Thank you!"

    Luisax in the House
    "Luisax é um saxofonista incrível! Estava preocupada que não chegasse a horas, mas chegou cedo para montar o seu equipamento, hipod, extensões e o seu sax. Tocou duas horas e a diversão foi top. Escolheu as melhores músicas e estava sempre interagindo com o público, sorrindo e dançando. Recomendo vivamente a sua performance. Valeu cada Euro que pagamos."

    Matthew Zelenin Music
    "Matt played piano during our wedding cocktail hour, and he was absolutely amazing. His music created such a beautiful and elegant atmosphere while our guests mingled, and it truly elevated that part of the evening. So many people came up to us to say how much they loved the music. Matt was professional, punctual, and very easy to work with throughout the process. We’re so grateful he was part of our wedding day and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a talented pianist for their event!"

Outdoor performances may be affected by wind, rain or temperature, which can impact acoustic instruments.
