Easy to book

Booking through last minute Musicians was easy. They had lots of acts to choose from and what dates they were available. They also stayed in contact up until the event to ensure everything went smoothly. I would definitely recommend using them to book musicians for your event

Slick and easy to use

The website is very easy to use and the result looks slick. People started viewing my profile straight away, and within a fortnight I'd got my first performance request (I had to turn it down as I wasn't available, but if I'd done it it would have easily paid for the profile).

Last Minute Musicians - great experience

Last Minute Musicians were really great. I had a great experience with them. Sarah-Jane was always professional and would keep in contact throughout the whole booking process. They booked us an amazing band at our wedding and we couldn't have asked for a better experience.

As a performer...

From my first communication with Sarah-Jane at Last Minute Musicians, I knew I was going to be in good hands - this is an agency run by musicians and it shows! My first booking through them was seamless with excellent and fast communication throughout combined with helpful advice from them as this was my first gig for them. Everything went very smoothly and I'm looking forward to a long and happy (and profitable!) relationship with Last Minute Musicians.

You will not be disappointed. What an experience for our hen group

We contacted Last minute musicians to hire a saxophonist for a hen party.
I was a little hesitant after booking hoping i had made the right decision but Sarah was amazing and put me right at ease.

We booked Carlo and Wow, wow wow! Our only complaint is that we didn't book him for longer. He was amazing, a very experienced saxophonist. A group of 22 women varying from different ages and every single person danced to every song.
What a surprise for the bride to be and the whole group.
Communication was always on point also with both musician and company.

Could not recommend these enough. You will not be disappointed.

I couldn’t rate Last Minute Musicians any higher. Sarah-Jane arranged a meet up with me and some of her other clients recently.
I got to connect with some wonderful and talented people and I’m looking forward to working with them for the foreseeable! Thank you for being so kind and supportive Sarah-Jane!

Fantastic band and helpful agency

We hired the Bourbon Street Stompers through Last Minute Musicians for a birthday party and they were fantastic. They were professional and friendly, both before the event and during. The event wouldn't have been the same without them.

Last Minute Musicians made the hiring process easy and informative. Having never hired a band before, they supported me through the process, provided a wealth of info, and were happy to take phonecalls and answer emails in a timely manner.

I can’t fault this company

I can’t fault this company. We contacted them as we were looking for someone to play the bagpipes at my dad’s funeral. Within no time after emailing them we had been allocated a piper who also messaged back straight away. As with anything that needs planning it can be stressful especially a funeral. They took one stress away from us. Special thanks to Sarah-Jane for all her help. Can’t thank you enough.

Exceptional Service from Rory via Last Minute Musicians

I recently booked Rory through Last Minute Musicians for a Valentine's Day event in our corporate building reception, specifically for his saxophone performance. Rory pleasantly surprised us with an additional performance on the flute, adding an extra layer of charm to the occasion. Sarah-Jane Morris's team efficiently managed the communication and follow-up, ensuring a seamless experience. From start to finish, Rory's professionalism and talent shone through, leaving a lasting impression on everyone present.
I wholeheartedly recommend Rory for any event requiring exceptional musical talent. His professionalism, versatility, and dedication make him a standout choice. Thank you, Rory, for making our event truly unforgettable.

Great service

I booked Joanne Dodds (violinist) through this agency for a family wedding. The process was straight forward and communication was regular. Joanne was easily contactable and took requests, she was absolutely brilliant on the day, and a wonderful addition. I would highly recommend Last Minute Musicians, and particularly the very talented Joanne.

I was let down last minute but the team at last minute musicians were absolutely amazing and so accommodating. They really went above and beyond to make sure I had an act that was not only amazing but could meet our requirements in a really short time frame. I can’t recommend them enough!
