Booked for Wedding

An absolute highlight of my daughters wedding. Everyone commented on how amazing Otis was and she was bowled over with her 'surprise ' sax player. The first tune, our request, was fantastic and the playlist which followed continued to wow us all. The weather was a little too much at times but the music never wavered in quality. It made a wonderful day even more special and I'm so happy I followed my instinct and chose Otis to be a key part of it.

Sophie played for our wedding drinks reception. She was absolutely wonderful. Our wedding was cancelled twice due to Covid before we had our final date and Sophie was very understanding and luckily was available for our date. Sophie was fantastic, she brought the atmosphere we wanted, songs that everyone knew and enjoyed. We have had so many compliments about the drinks rehearsal and people loved the music. We cannot thank Sophie enough for bringing our dream to a reality for our big day. All the cancellations made it even more special and Sophie certainly delivered and kick started the party. I hope we have another event in the near future and can book Sophie again. Thank you so much!!

Booked for Wedding

"Doc Emmett Brown (Wes) was the perfect choice of musician for our wedding. I had been searching for some time before I came across his profile, and was seriously losing hope that I would actually find someone with talent let alone someone I genuinely enjoyed listening to. Great communication ahead of the day which gave me confidence there would be no unexpected surprises, and when I met him, I found him to be professional, polite and a thoroughly pleasant chap. Wes was open to song suggestions ahead of his performance which we had emailed to him and he worked most of them into his set. Thank you for being a part of making our day something really special to remember Wes – I hope to see you again sometime! I would highly recommend booking the Doc!"
