Gillian Mite2 Jul 2022

Booked for Wedding

We had Craig as our secret singing waiter. He was absolutely brilliant, none of our guests knew about it. I had explained to Craig that the speeches would be very emotional due to my husband having a major stroke last year and was seriously ill. I asked him to sing feel good songs so that we could lift spirits again and celebrate our wedding day not be sad. He did exactly that and more. The way he handled the situation was so professional and he had everyone up waving napkins and doing the conga, spirits were through the roof, absolutely perfect. I can’t recommend him enough, everyone is still talking about it a week later. Thank you Craig You are a star.

Booked for Birthday party

Emily was amazing, from the booking where she was very helpful trying to establish what I wanted for a garden birthday gathering, to the day where she communicated timings, set and setup then the performance itself which landed really well and just what we needed to get the party started and lift the post covid spirits!

Booked for Wedding

Cherry Valentine and the Bees Knees are absolutely amazingly talented. We absolutely loved them at our wedding reception. Our guests say it was the best wedding they have ever been to. I am sooo glad that we couldn't have a dj and dance floor. We had the best time ever and I couldn't thank them enough. Book now!! You won't be disappointed. They will have you on your feet even if you don't dance! Thank you so much ❤️
