Booked for Wedding

My husband had no idea that I had booked the singer waiter, so when the waiter pretended to fall, it was my husband who asked if he was OK, before he burst into song. Absolutely fantastic and all of my guests loved it. Thank you for adding that special touch to our day.

Booked for Wedding

Our wedding piper Martyn was really good. Arrived on time, played when and where we asked. Also communicated well with us in the lead up to the wedding, answering any queries promptly. Would recommend

Alex6 Feb 2022

Booked for Wedding

All we can say is...WOW! We were SO over the moon with the performance Dean gave on our Wedding day in December. Having stepped in last minute due to a cancellation Dean was so accommodating and managed to squeeze us in at short notice which we were so grateful for. His performance was the best part of our day for sure - the guests are still talking about how much fun it was and how memorable he made the day, it really got the party going. We can't wait to book Dean again for our next event ASAP. 10/10 would recommend!

Sam was absolutely amazing. I will definitely be hiring Sam for future events. She made my husband's birthday such a memorable day and I honestly couldn't thank her enough.

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.
