Oliver was very professional and positioned himself well at the venue to entertain our guests. As the bride on the day I was busy having photos taken whilst Oliver was playing, apart from during the ceremony so unfortunately didn't hear his playing as much as I would have liked.

“I wanted to write testimonial for Ollie (sorry its a little late) Booking Ollie was by far one of the best things i did. He was our favourite little detail of the whole day. The music was just beautiful and accompanied our venue perfectly. Everyone commented on how subtle and beautiful it was while we were eating. Ollie was so polite and lovely, I couldn't help but give him a huge hug when he was packing up to leave. I was sad when the music stopped. I managed to take a moment to look around during the meal and take it all in, having that stunning music as the background for our perfect day will forever stick in my mind and i can even still hear Coldplay playing in my head. You cant put a price on a memory like that and im so grateful to Ollie for being there and doing a fantastic job. Everyone was intrigued when he quietly set up in the corner of the wedding breakfast and when he started playing it was so different and thoroughly relaxing, it was the perfect addition to our rustic wholesome meal. Thank you so much Ollie!! JUST PERFECT xxx”

He was there when we needed him and asked questions of how we would like the day to run but without any impact to us. His performance was faultless, we received a number of comments from friends and family on how good he was and he very much added an ambiance to the day which recorded music would not have done. Please pass our feedback on to Oliver, I will certainly be recommending him to others”

“Amy, Oliver could not have been any better, our day was absolutely perfect and he was clearly a key part to its success. He was there when we needed him and asked questions of how we would like the day to run but without any impact to us. His performance was faultless, we received a number of comments from friends and family on how good he was and he very much added an ambiance to the day which recorded music would not have done. Please pass our feedback on to Oliver, I will certainly be recommending him to others”

“There is only one word to deacribe Ollie …. INCREDIBLE :) We cannot thank you enough for playing at our wedding and helping to create that magical atmosphere. Ollie was fabulous in the way that moving around the venue a couple of times due to the weather really didn’t phase him. His song list was great and learning to play a specific song for us was just truly wonderful and we will never forget it. We had the most amazing day and like I said we cannot thank you enough :)”

“Ollie was perfect & played our wedding music exactly how we imagined. Our only regret is that we didn’t get a chance to thank Ollie personally & to hear more of his music during the drinks reception as we were busy having photos taken.”

“Hi Amy, please can you pass on my thanks to Ollie. He played beautifully for our wedding ceremony. I wish I could have just sat and listened to him instead of having to have so many photos- I didn’t even get to say hi. Anyway, if you could let him know he was great and we’ll be recommending him to others. Thank you.”
