£360 for 35 minutes of music which should of been 2 hours. Dishonest, disappointed and let down on the biggest day of our lifes.
A friend of ours booked Paula Burrel the saxophonist to play for our guests as our in-between stage at our wedding. It was brought for us as a gift and to say we were excited, was a understatement. But how utterly let down were we. After sending our play list which was 30 songs long, for the time allocated, various conversations by email followed by a telephone conversation to confirm everything too it didn't go as we planned at all. We asked Paula to be sat up in the garden of our venue, but played inside instead, alleged traffic jams coursed a delay to her arrival which wr would of sympathised with if she wasnt smiling whilst saying it, bombarded with how busy she had been also, with the genuine feeling of her mistakes were "our fault" pure unprofessionalism from paula of not writing down what we had discussed, as the bride chasing Paula two days before to make sure everything was okay, no confirmation of our song list being adequate for her either and now £360 out of pocket for 35 minutes of music which should of been 2 hours. Baring in mind she had our day itinerary sent to her also. Utterly beyond words disappointed beyond belief, Promised a personal refund from her and nothing. STAY CLEAR you will only get ripped off

Bad experience and would not recommend to anyone
Requested quote, spoke to one of the musician and was promised to be sent additional quote and never heard anything back! Happened twice so would stay away and not waste time in the future

Mozaika's music was uplifting and beautiful, it gave joy, warmth and fun to the wedding and brought everyone seamlessly together.
Fronted by Fiona as their caller, who invited everyone to join in with the dances, it was magic!
Unforgettable Organ and Piano Performance by Petra at Our Wedding
From the moment we first contacted Petra about performing at our wedding, we knew we had found someone truly special. Not only is she an immensely talented organist, but an amazing professional and a wonderful human being.
Petra took on the task of playing our favourite classical hymns during the ceremony with great enthusiasm. However, what sets Petra apart is not merely her skill at the organ, but also her willingness to go the extra mile.
Being of Romanian heritage, and my partner being French, Petra offered to add elements of our cultures into our ceremony. Petra graciously offered to learn and perform a traditional Romanian and French song at our wedding. We were astounded by her dedication and the speed at which she was able to master these pieces.
On our wedding day, the moment the first notes filled the church, we were both moved to tears. Petra helped make the day even more special.
Away from the organ, Petra was an absolute delight to work with. Communication was smooth throughout, and she showed great interest in understanding our tastes and preferences.
Petra's performance was more than we could ever have hoped for. Her talent, professionalism, and warm personality truly shine in her work. We would highly recommend Petra to any couple seeking to add a magical touch to their wedding day. Thank you, Petra, for the music and memories that will last a lifetime.
Simple and straight forward
We booked a violinist for our wedding and the entire process was so smooth. Thanks!

Jonny Vernam played a superb and appropriate set of songs at my birthday lunch. The wide variety of well known and not so well known tunes provided the ideal ambience for my guests to relax and hum along . Jonny was excellent in his reading of the room and all really enjoyed his playing as a result. Thanks Jonny
