Weddings

I specialise in providing music for weddings as I offer the rare ability to provide music and sound for every part of the wedding day as I’m a pianist, a singing guitarist and a DJ. For example, classical piano pieces for the wedding service, a singing guitarist set of ambient love songs for the drinks reception, an eclectic mix of piano instrumentals which is guaranteed to get the guests singing along for the wedding breakfast, a well-honed singing guitarist set of upbeat floorfillers to kick off the evening reception followed by the disco to keep the party going well into the night.

I have been a wedding singer / musician / DJ for over 15 years all over the UK for many many happy couples and consistently get 5* reviews. Please read the reviews from previous clients.
