Amazing musician! Made our wedding 😊

I came across Archie online & after listening to some of his demos & videos, I knew that he was going to fit right in with exactly what we wanted!
From the first point of communication with Archie, everything was super easy & relaxed. Closer to our day, Archie made sure he knew all of the little details for our wedding and was flexible in making sure he could work with what we wanted. Archie even learnt a few songs that he did not have on his set list but ones we really liked!
The day ran absolutely perfectly and Archie amazed us with his incredible voice! We knew from his videos he was good, but hearing him in person literally blew us away! Archie started his first set a few moments after we said β€œI do” and myself and my husband led our guests up to the terraced area where he was singing and he just kicked the vibes right off, everyone was bopping away & singing along! All day, our guests commented on how amazing Archie was, not just for his voice but also his personality & character- he was smiley, friendly & extremely pleasant with everyone and we felt that he went above & beyond for us. He was flexible with our plans and even came along on a sunset boat ride with us and all of our guests and that really set the vibes for the evening celebrations! We can’t thank Archie more for being part of our day, he is a professional, extremely talented, amazing person! 😊

Archie is top tier!

Archie was amazing from the first time we spoke, to the last song he played at our wedding. Archie is extremely talented and took great care in listening to what we wanted prior to our big day. The range of songs Archie can perform is very impressive and it is testament to his work considering how many people complimented him to us after our wedding.

This guy could participate at Eurovision with his talent 🀫

Me and Elena booked our wedding on 24.08.2025 and we used the venue's supplier list to pick up guys for services, but we couldn't find one to fit for the music side.

My wife found Archie on Hitched and we chose his services.

That was the best choice we could've made for a live music performance for wedding!

Really a great guy and VERY talented on singing with his guitar.

The ceremony was perfect with the personalised songs we chose for him to play, and the other live performance were so beautiful, hearing Archie singing in outdoors while we enjoy the weather and venues great ambience, he was like salt in food, gave taste to our wedding πŸ’’

He has his own audio system so he can play music at your choice on the evening party.

Really glad we had you mate!

Superstar!

Archie was our musician for our ceremony, drinks reception and wedding breakfast at Mere Court, Knutsford this summer and we were amazed at how good he was. All our guests were asking us where we found him and commented on how fantastic they thought he was. Archie learnt three songs we chose and they were all performed beautifully. From the first time we spoke to him Archie was super friendly and approachable and nothing we asked for was too much. We would highly recommend Archie to anyone.

Perfect for our wedding cocktail reception

Archie was the perfect addition to our wedding cocktail reception. In the run up he was super easy and responsive in all communication and on the day was flexible to our needs. Not to mention his performance was fab.

What a voice!

We found Archie quite late on in our search but we are so glad we did. From start to finish it was so easy to work with him.
We knew Archie was an incredible singer from seeing his videos online but we could never have imagined how good he would be live. Genuinely one of the best voices I’ve heard live. No ask was too big, he was able learn the song we wanted with no fuss.
Even when we had to make a last minute change of location due to the weather there was no drama, Archie nailed everything we wanted.
We can not recommend him highly enough and thank him for making our day so special.

An absolute dream!

There aren’t enough words to describe how wonderful Archie is! From the first communication to the wedding day itself, he was just a dream. He is so polite, friendly, and just an all round lovely guy. He also was so flexible with changes to our schedule, even though he was travelling a decent way. And the voice!!! Ridiculously good. You won’t get better. We’re so glad he was such a big part of our special day, and would recommend 100 times over!

The perfect wedding musician

Archie was absolutely perfect! His song choices were great, and our requests were absolutely beautifully performed. He played a couple of 45 minute sets and every song was fantastic! The perfect vibe for our wedding, and everything was so simple for us - he was setup before I could even get down to meet him, and guests were enjoying his music from start to finish. It was a pleasure to have you at our wedding, and we hope to catch you again soon!

Great Wedding Singer - Definitely Recommend

Archie performed at our wedding at Aston Hall Hotel. Archie was amazing!! All our guests commented on how great he was, the song choices he had was great. We enjoyed watching his socials on the lead up. He was dressed smart, he didn't disturb us once through the day as he just got on with doing what he does best which is performing. We cant wait to get our wedding video back to hear back him singing. Archie also learnt a song for us that he hadn't performed before. Highly recommend!!

The perfect fit for our day

We were absolutely blown away by Archie. His voice is incredible and he set the perfect vibe for our wedding, capturing the mood and emotion of the day beautifully. He read the room perfectly, connecting with everyone from children to grandparents, and we had so many compliments about his performance.

Friendly, genuine, and effortless in his delivery, Archie made the day flow seamlessly and gave our first dance unforgettable emotion and impact. He didn’t just perform, he truly captured the heart of our day.

Thank you so much!

Perfect voice for a perfect day!

Archie was absolutely amazing! He sang my wife down the aisle, and it was truly perfect β€” we couldn’t have imagined it any better. He also gave a fantastic performance during the drinks reception, creating such a great atmosphere. We honestly couldn’t recommend him more!

Fantastic addition to our day!

Archie was absolutely phenomenal from start to finish! He gave it his all throughout the entire day, pouring so much energy, passion, and talent into every single performance. He sang our chosen songs so beautifully – the emotion and meaning he brought to them was just perfect, and we will never forget it.

So many of our guests came up to us to say how amazing he was, and we couldn’t agree more. Archie brought the most incredible vibe to our wedding – relaxed, joyful, and full of love – and his music created such a magical atmosphere from start to finish.

We are beyond happy that we booked him. Archie is not only an incredibly talented musician, but also a genuinely lovely person to have around on such an important day. He helped make our wedding truly unforgettable, and we can’t thank him enough!

Wedding/Leaving Party

Archie was incredible.

We booked him for our wedding and can’t sing his praises enough.
He was super communicative and accommodating. He understood the vibe and delivered some amazing sets. All our guests commented on his amazing voice. He then catered a playlist DJ set, which went down an absolute storm.

On top of all that, he is such a nice bloke too. Warm & engaging and so easy to work with. Would definitely recommend.

Thanks again Archie!

What a talented artist!

Archie played for our ceremony and cocktail hour on our wedding day at Kinmount House.
He has an incredible voice, and created the perfect atmosphere for our wedding.
Archie is super talented. He learnt our walking down the aisle song in no time and executed it perfectly on the day.
Archie was also super flexible and to top it all, he is also a lovely person.
Thanks again, Archie!

Archie sounds great, highly recommended!

Archie was fantastic! Cannot recommend enough. Everyone at our wedding party kept on telling us they loved his voice and the playlist.
Communication couldn’t have been easier, he turned up early and set up without any need for our help. We could not have been happier.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to make your big decisions easier.
