Booked for Birthday party

Started off with great, clear and responsive communication. DJ Tony V worked with us to create a playlist that worked for the event and our guests. On the day, he arrived on time setup his equiptment and station promptly and without any issues. We enjoyed that he was very responsive to our diverse set of guests that all got their songs and moments that they will remember from the night. He kept the crowd going for nearly all of the time he was playing and we finished with a lot of energy which was just want the birthday boy needed. DJ Tony will be my first point of call next time I need someone to provide great music, respond to the crowd and keep the enegery going.

Booked for Wedding

My son and his fiancé were having a small intimate wedding and I wanted to make it that little bit more special for them, I looked online and I found Tamillia a violinist and I thought I would love to book her to play at there garden reception, and it was the best decision I could have possibly made. Everybody was absolutely blown away she is absolutely amazing, she plays beautifully and she made the day so magical, from the booking process to the contact before the wedding to make sure we were happy with everything was perfect and I would highly recommend using Tamillia for your special day. I will definitely be booking for future events, Thank you so much!

Booked for Wedding

Would like to thank Josie for performing at our wedding, she was everything I could have wanted and more! Her music was beautifully played and she mixed it up with Irish, modern and old and it couldn’t have been more perfect. Our guests would agree, Thank you also for our wedding card!
