Chris Tavener

5.0

I could not recommend Chris highly enough. Our whole experience with him was brilliant from start to finish. Chris responded to messages quickly and was extremely accommodating. The party was a Hen Do with 50 women and he judged the mood and tone of the party perfectly and soon had everyone up on their feet. Chris arrived on time and was very helpful, even playing our playlist for us during his breaks and making announcements for us. He got completely stuck into the party and we can’t wait to have him come and sing for us again!

Chris played on our wedding day and absolutely nailed the brief! - upbeat, feel good tracks and the creation of a merry atmosphere. We are big fans of Chris' music taste and his unique style - he is clearly very talented and his live performance was brilliant - we were flooded with compliments from friends and family on Chris' behalf. Additionally Chris played as we arrived for the wedding breakfast - this was a very special moment for us as everyone was singing along and clapping. Chris was very professional from the start - very responsive, set up was all in good time and all sets delivered on schedule. Chris' approach to planning was very flexible and he proved very likeable! Don't hesitate to book Chris - you won't be disappointed.

Had an amazing afternoon. Chris was brilliant, he made a lovely family birthday meal very special. He was very professional, polite and had really good music that everyone (young and old) enjoyed. I think he gained himself a few groupies with the younger members of the family and he took the time to have a chat and his photo with them. Everyone there commented on how good he was and how much they had enjoyed themselves. I would definitely recommend him and would not hesitate in booking him again in the future.

We invited Chris to perform at our small wedding reception, a combination of his own songs and also some cover songs. We weren't sure what songs to choose but Chris made it all super easy, compiling a proposed songs list for us to review and even editing words in the individual songs so they were all family friendly - completely relieving my anxiety about offending any of our guests! Chris was also very considerate and accommodating on the day itself - arriving extra early to set up (so he wouldn't be in the way of other activities we had planned) and staying longer than we should have reasonably expected (in order to fit in with our programme and delays). Most importantly, Chris is a wonderful, talented, funny, and warm-hearted performer. He made us all laugh and also feel happy and relaxed. Having Chris perform his own songs felt extra special, as something a little different and unique, and I highly recommend this and him to anyone wanting to organise a special event

We all enjoyed Chris' performance. He managed to gauge the audience's musical preferences very quickly.
