Drew Stansall ex The Specials
"We honestly cannot recommend Drew enough! He played the saxophone at our wedding and was absolutely incredible. One of the highlights was him playing our entrance song as we walked into dinner – it made the moment so special and unforgettable! We had so many compliments from our guests about how amazing he was.
Not only is Drew incredibly talented, but he is also so friendly, approachable and great to communicate with from start to finish. He really helped make our day even more special, and we couldn’t have asked for anyone better.
If you’re thinking of booking a saxophonist for your event, do not hesitate – Drew is fantastic! Thank you so much for being part of our special day!"

Wedding/funeral/events singer
"I contacted Sarah to sing at a very last minute event, it was something out of the ordinary but she managed it perfectly. Her voice is wonderful and she adapted her repertoire to the event's needs, delivering a powerful and emotive performance. I would definitely be happy to book her again for future events."
Hooliemen
"A great band, beautiful music, friendly people, punctual and helped lead us well with the dancing. I would highly recommend and book again!"
Louise Golbey - Jazz, Soul, Pop, Disco
"I first met Louise at a wedding showcase over 10 years ago, and from that moment she was completely embedded in my brain! She has such a wonderfully soulful, distinctive voice, and I remember knowing there and then that whenever my wedding day came, I wanted her to be the one performing.
Fast forward more than a decade, and having Louise and the quartet there on our wedding day was honestly so special. They were absolutely incredible and created the most beautiful atmosphere from the moment they started playing. Hearing that voice I had remembered all those years ago, now singing at our wedding, was a real full-circle moment for me.
The quartet were phenomenal – so talented, polished and effortlessly brilliant. The music brought so much warmth and emotion to the day, and so many of our guests commented on just how amazing they were.
Louise, you were every bit as wonderful as I remembered and more. It was genuinely a dream to finally have you perform at our wedding after all these years. Thank you to you and the whole quartet and Terrron the DJ for being such a special part of our day and for giving us memories we’ll treasure forever. 🤍
We couldn’t recommend you highly enough!
Kelly & Jake xx"
Steve Sax
"We saw Steve play at a friend's Christening and thought he was very good at getting people to dance and have a good time so I spoke to Steve after the event and got his contact details. That evening, I spoke to Steve to find out if he was available for our wedding day and then we agreed on the price. In the days leading up to the wedding, I spoke to Steve a couple of times to discuss the kind of songs he could play but this was no trouble at all because Steve mentioned that he would play anything we wanted. On the day of our wedding, Steve played a 2 hour set after the wedding finished and during the change over to the reception party. He entertained the guests really well, everyone spoke highly of Steve and said it was a really good idea to have him play. We are really happy to have had Steve play at our wedding and would highly recommend him to anyone. Thank you for making our day memorable 🫶🏽. (10 / 10)"
