Reviews

Chris did an amazing job, throughly entertaining. He really understood the theme and mood of our wedding, he played to the audience and finished on a wonderful high. Lots of the guests commented on how good he was and we would totally recommend him.

Gary B Wedding, Kent

We hired Chris for our wedding, and it was absolutely the best decision we could ever have made!! The vibe of our wedding was laid back, casual, and all about just having a good time. Chris's voice and guitar was literally perfect for this, and we had so many comments on the night about how great and professional he was, and he helped make our wedding an absolute perfect day. So do the right thing, hire Chris because he's awesome!

Cat B Wedding

Chris performed an acoustic set at our wedding on Monday. Chris sang and played guitar as I walked down the aisle and it was truly magical. He then performed at our drinks reception and wowed our guests. We received so many compliments on his performance. Chris is a really talented musician and singer and was one of the highlights of our wedding. Thank you Chris for making our day special. We would thoroughly recommend you for any event!

Dawn & Brian Kelly Wedding

One of the first things mentioned when people have spoken to us about our wedding is the music and that’s all down to Chris. His talent is clear to see and of course hear. He has such a great wide range of songs that everyone was happy and knows how to get a party going. He was not only professional to work with but so friendly. He paid attention to all we spoke about regarding music taste and picked and played songs from just listening to us talk about our music loves as a couple, that will bring back wonderful memories for years to come. We would honestly recommend him to anyone because music is important to us both and he made that perfect on our wedding day! Thank you Chris

Joe & Gemma Dean Wedding, Canary Wharf

Chris played at my wedding a couple weeks ago. I had discussed with him previously different songs we liked and he was easy to communicate with. He played for a couple hours during the reception drinks at the meal. He was brilliant so many people commented to me afterwards about his great voice and his excellent song choices. Would highly recommend!
