Testimonials
"We were so happy to be able to work with Tom for our wedding. Having family and friends coming from all over the world, the standard options for wedding DJ’s playing 1 style didn’t really suit us. Tom met with us prior to the event to discuss our vision, our music tastes and what he could offer. He also explained to us his route to get to the venue and his back up plans should anything go wrong with his transport or equipment which helped settle any nerves.
Over the wedding weekend, he played garden music for an apperitivo with live guitar. He was responsible for the music during the wedding ceremony and the dinner and then played a phenomenal set in the evening. I had compliments from our Armenian side of the family that he was able to find traditional music that they liked and was able to seemlessly blend it in. A cousin was also very excited to tell me that she requested ABBA and 2 minutes later as if by magic, there it was. He took us on a real journey and we felt very emotional by the end of the night. We can’t recommend him highly enough to anyone who wants a tailored event to suit your needs"
