Outstanding and very professional

We booked a Highland Piper (Andrew) and a Classical Guitarist (Scott) for our wedding last Saturday. When I arrived with my father I was immediately emotional as Andrew looked amazing and just as I'd hoped. He piped me into the ceremony with my favourite bagpipe melody and it was magical. He played non stop until the beginning of our wedding breakfast!! All our guests were blown away by Andrew's talent and approachable attitude.
Sadly, our guitarist received some devastating news just an hour before his arrival and we would never have expected him to arrive. As it was so close to our wedding breakfast start time, it was impossible to send a replacement, but the hotel just played some background music whilst we ate. Encore explained everything and dealt with everything smoothly and professionally. Our hearts and thoughts are with you Scott xx

Easy to use and great musicians

We hired a fantastic jazz trio through Encore. The site was easy to use and send initial enquiries out. Payment was simple as was the means of contacting the band. Would definitely use the service again.

Very professional

We liked several of the musicians. But settled on Cliff Hall. An excellent choice., Beautifully turned out, know exactly what to do without supervision and his playing was very moving. 5* plus, Cliff and thank you.

Easy Booking, Brilliant Live Band

We couldn’t ask for a better band (The Lads) to play at our wedding. It was the highlight of the evening. Encore made it easy to book the band and communicate. Thank you, Lotty

Perfect Harpist

We hired a harpist - Natalie Lurie - and requested a new song be learnt. We were in contact with her throughout the entire process which was nice. The music was perfect! Encore was really easy to use and navigate through.
