Just WOW!!

The (now) husband and I had the pleasure of first seeing Andrew perform at my sister’s wedding five years ago and we absolutely loved him, so we were delighted that we were able to book him to play at our own Wedding. He did not disappoint! He exceeded expectations (which were already pretty high having already seen him previously) and his musical talents speak for themselves. We received so many compliments about his performance that I'm sure we'll see him at friends' weddings in the future!

Andrew’s sunny disposition and quick humour made him an instant hit with guests before he had even started his set, and he blended in perfectly to the surroundings, with his music entertaining everyone there. Luckily we had a beautiful sunny day, so Andrew could set up outside and perform for everyone in the grounds of our venue, to the delight of passers-by who also sang nothing but his praises to us as well. We opted for the Full Day Package from 24 Live and the additional Cajon Drummer for the evening reception, and that was also a massive hit! What a party!

In the build up to the wedding, on the day and even after the wedding, Andrew has been incredibly thorough, accommodating and just an absolute dream to deal with. He is so, so friendly and personable, and he goes above and beyond to ensure that the experience he gives you is the perfect one. Nothing was ever too much trouble, and he made us feel completely at ease, he is a true professional. He leaves no stone unturned and his attention to detail is flawless.

Andrew really is a class act and an absolute gentleman, not to mention all kinds of talented. He made our day really special and our Wedding wouldn’t have been the success it was without him there. We cannot recommend him highly enough. We can’t wait to see him perform again in the future! Thank you so much for everything Andrew. 😊

All the very best,

Chantal & Tom xxx

Best in the business!

Where do I start, Andrew at 24live has been brilliant from the moment I enquired to perform on our special day, I was gutted that he was unavailable for the full package due to being booked up for earlier in the day which was no shock with his talent. We managed to secure them for our evening as a Duo and they smashed it out of the park! The dance floor was booming and we all had the time of our lives! We also had Andrew perform our first dance and it couldn’t have been any more perfect! We’d like to thank 24 live so much for making the night one to remember for sure! All our guests loved them. Best in the business!

Amazing night at the Woodman Inn

We had the absolute pleasure of having 24 Live Acoustic play at our wedding, and they were incredible from start to finish! We first saw them at a friend’s wedding back in June and loved them so much that we knew straight away—they had to be part of our big day too.

They brought amazing energy, kept the dancefloor packed all night, and played the perfect mix of songs for our crowd. So many of our guests commented on how fantastic they were!

Not only are they super talented musicians, but also such kind and genuine people—it truly felt like they were celebrating with us. Thank you for making our day so memorable. We honestly couldn’t have asked for a better band!

Highly, highly recommend to anyone looking for a fun, professional, and crowd-pleasing vibe!!

Like Having a Guest Who Happens to Be a Musical Genius!

We had the absolute pleasure of having Andrew play at our wedding, and we honestly can’t recommend him highly enough. From the wedding breakfast to the drinks reception, he set the perfect vibe — relaxed, joyful, and full of energy. Our guests were up dancing and loving every moment.

Andrew felt more like a guest than a supplier. He’s not only incredibly talented but also a genuinely lovely person who went above and beyond to make the day special. Nothing was too much trouble, and he just blended in so naturally with the atmosphere.

If you’re thinking about booking him - DO IT. You won’t regret it. He brought something truly special to our day.

Amazing wedding entertainment

We hired Andrew and 24 live four our wedding to sing as our guests arrived, at our ceremony, our wedding breakfast abd to bring the party for the reception.
From the moment of enquiry Andrew was responsive and in touch throughout, making the whole process seamless and stress free.
Andrew was exceptionally professional and the whole day ran smoothly.
The music was everything we had hoped and more with a mixture of songs we had choosen and Andrew chose from reading the atmosphere of the room.
We loved every moment and danced the night away we also had numerous comments from guests about how Amazing 24 live were.
Very very highly recommended

Laura & Gareth 10.05.25

We recently had Andrew sing at our wedding and overall, he was amazing! We had him perform when guests arrived, ceremony and drinks reception.

His voice was absolutely incredible, both we and all of our guests were blown away. Several of our music-loving friends made multiple requests, and he happily obliged each one with enthusiasm. Countless guests commented on how talented he was and how perfectly he set the tone for the rest of the day.

He is incredibly professional and easy to work with—prompt communication, open to our song suggestions, and genuinely invested in making our day special.

If you're searching for a talented, warm, and truly unforgettable singer to make your wedding day extra special, we couldn't recommend Andrew more highly. We're incredibly grateful and wouldn't hesitate to book him again in a heartbeat!

Our evening entertainment taken care of completely

We booked 24 Live Acoustic over a year ago for our wedding evening entertainment on Friday 16th May 2025 at Faenol Fawr in North Wales. We had the full evening package, which included 3 live sets and music in between.

We had read really excellent reviews about 24 Live Acoustic and felt confident that we’d picked the right act. The main thing I’d say is that Andrew exceeded our expectations. He is a class act and a lovely, genuine guy.

If you have any doubts, please rest assured you don’t need to - they are brilliant and all our guests were so impressed. Andrew is easy going, but really professional. He gives you straightforward communication and really good wedding advice if you ask him!!!

We can’t thank Andrew & Matt enough and plan on coming to another one of his open mic gigs when we can.

All the best to Andrew & Matt and many, many thanks for a brilliant performance on the night.

Fantastic Duo

We found Andrew whilst looking for a singer online and from start to finish the communication was brilliant, he kept in regular touch to see if we had any questions and gave us some great advice in the planning meeting.
We had the duo for evening of our wedding and they made our night, they were absolutely amazing and kept us and our guests on the dance floor all night from the first song to the very last. Everyone has told us how great they were and we cannot recommend them highly enough.

Amazing!!!

I honestly couldn't recommend Andrew enough to play on your wedding day. From the moment of booking, Andrew was so communicative and friendly, reaching out to check in every few months and happy to answer any questions we had all the way up to the day. Nothing was too much trouble - we changed our day around slightly from when we'd originally booked, but Andrew was happy to accommodate this, meaning he played almost continuously from our ceremony right through to the end of our cocktail hour! On the day itself, Andrew was absolutely incredible. He arrived on time, moved himself around the venue seamlessly and played our chosen songs perfectly as well as fitting in guest requests. So many of our guests commented both on the day and afterwards about how incredible he was!

The best day!

Andrew did an amazing job! Our guests were all so impressed by his talent and his song choices.

He was very responsive right from booking and he frequently reached out via email and zoom to check how we were getting on.

On the day I was so emotional as I walked down the aisle to one of my favourite songs being played. All day I was singing and dancing and excited to be hearing all my favourite 00s songs.

In the evening they both did an amazing job getting people on the dance floor and asking sure everyone's requests were played!

1000% recommended!

Performances that set the scene for the best party of our lives!

24 Live Acoustic are an amazing supplier! Andrew is super responsive and tailors the package to suit you and your tastes. There were so many songs to choose from with lots of our favourites included. Andrew is so friendly and helpful, offering us tips and tricks for the day and giving us so much information. The whole process was super smooth and simple. Andrew played from when our guests arrived until the end of our meal and he really set the vibes for the day. All of our guests were saying that he was one of the best parts of the wedding. Don't hesitate to book 24 Live Acoustic for your wedding!

Andrew was superb!

The moment the doors opened at the Manor House open day we we knew we wanted Andrew to perform at our wedding, it was such a wow factor walking into that space and hearing his voice. He did and what a performance it was! Walking down the aisle on 20 April was a dream come true, made even more perfect by Andrew's beautiful vocals. It really set the perfect tone for our big day and we were so impressed. 24 live performed at both our ceremony and wedding breakfast and it was absolutely fabulous, entertained our guests and set this beautiful ethereal ambience.

Throughout our wedding journey Andrew has been such a gentleman and one of the most upbeat suppliers and it's been a pleasure to chat with him and get those little message. He's so good at communicating and keeping you updated and you can tell he genuinely cares about his couples and puts his heart into each wedding he performs at.

He learned Lover and Paper Rings for us for our aisle songs and they brought tears to my eyes. I highly recommend booking 24 live, not only is Andrew a fantastic performer and vocalist, he's such a genuine fantastic guy and it's been incredible having him be part of our wedding dream team. Thank you so much Andrew for making our wedding day so special 😊
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to make your big decisions easier.
