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 Hen party

Elijah performed at my friend's garden hen party and was absolutely amazing! All of the hens (from 20 to 70 year olds) loved it as he really can play any song request so we had a total variety of music across the ages. We had such a brilliant time dancing to his performance that we actually asked Elijah if he wouldn't mind if we extended the set so we could carry on partying which he kindly agreed to. He was super responsive in the lead up to the event and also helped plan the element of surprise for the hen! I would definitely recommend Elijah - he really made the night and is super talented!

Booked for Birthday party

"Tony judged the company very well. He had people up dancing from the beginning, and nearly everyone in his second set. He told interesting anecdotes between numbers. He dealt with a difficult guest very well The music was excellent, fun, varied and exciting. He arrived punctually, communicated well and brought/set up a large variety of equipment. His system made it appear to be a band rather than an individual singer. He also changed guitars during his sets, creating variety. He is an experienced pro and an organiser can trust using him at an event. Top marks"

We delivered next level parties for exceptional companies

We also did more than 40,000 birthday parties. Probably, including your neighbour’s recent big bash.
