A great musician!

Leigh was fantastic to work with. We met him to discuss the plan for our wedding and my wife and I were both impressed by how kind and relaxed he was. Our wedding day was a bit chaotic (lots of last minute changes), but he kept up with it no problem.
Everyone we spoke to on the day commented how great his voice was and we both agree. We really enjoyed singing “time of your life” together, thank you Leigh!
We cannot recommend him enough!

Superb, blew everyone away!

From start to finish Leigh was the most professional but also friendliest supplier that we collaborated with for our wedding. Really focused on the personal touches which were really appreciated and actually became really key moments for us on our wedding day. Leigh is so talented and we are so grateful that he was available for our weekend as he’s created memories we will treasure forever and they also blew everyone away with his music and singing. Really read the room on what song was needed for when. I won’t reveal too much, but the personalisation was also incredible.

Perfect wedding reception

We couldn’t have been happier that we chose Leigh to play at our wedding. He’s an incredible singer, and he created exactly the atmosphere we wanted during our drinks reception. It felt relaxed, warm and classy without ever feeling stuffy.

What really stood out was how well he judged the room. He was friendly, funny and genuinely engaging, but never intrusive or trying to make himself the centre of attention. He just seemed to know exactly what the occasion needed.

One moment that sums him up perfectly was when we somehow lost my dad before the family photos. We asked if he could make an announcement over the PA, and instead he immediately improvised a funny little “David, where are you?” song, which had everyone laughing. It was such a small thing, but it was exactly the kind of personal touch that made the day feel special.

We’ve had so many guests comment on how brilliant he was, and looking back, he played a huge part in creating the atmosphere we wanted for the day. We’d recommend him without hesitation - and the value for money was incredible too!

Perfect vibes

Leigh was fantastic on our wedding day, doing two sets in different parts of the venue. He matched the chilled out vibe of our day perfectly and sounded great! Would 100% recommend to everybody and he was very friendly in all our communication and on the day. Many guests commented that he was excellent.

Fab acoustic set at the Pig on the Beach

We saw Leigh play a couple of hours of great soul songs on the lawn of the Pig on the Beach Studland last Friday. A very soulful voice and great choice of songs , we both said how great he would be at weddings.

What a fantastic addition to any wedding party

We recently got married down by the sea in Mudeford and we booked Leigh Coleman to do a set in the afternoon for our drinks reception. As the wedding plans progressed the timings changed and we pushed the set back until the evening and Leigh said this was no trouble atall he was very flexible. We absolutely made the right decision as having him in the evening was simply fantastic and all of our guests got up to dance and sing along. We also had a friends birthday the same day who is a Depeche Mode fan and Leigh learnt and added a song to his playlist for us which went down brilliantly. His music really made our evening and we would absolutely recommend him to anyone who is thinking of using his services. Just Wow.

Made the Party

I had seen Leigh perform at Wedding Fairs (being a fellow vendor) and couldn't wait to invite him to perform at a party. The opportunity arose for my 60th Birthday House Party.
Leigh was amazing and had everyone dancing throughout the evening. Playing and singing a wide variety of genres perfect for the age range of guests from their twenties to seventies.
Can't wait to have another party now - thanks Leigh you really were the best!
Thoroughly recommended to any kind of celebration 🎊 🎉

Leigh you are the best!

We were absolutely blown away by Leigh’s performance at our wedding! He created the most incredible atmosphere for both our ceremony and reception — his voice and guitar were simply amazing. The music set the perfect tone for the day, and we received so many compliments from our guests about how talented he was.

Leigh’s performance was everything we hoped for and more — we honestly could’ve listened to him sing all day. He added such a special, memorable touch to our wedding, and we can’t thank him enough for being part of it. Highly, highly recommend! 🎶💫

THE wedding singer. Top tunes from a top bloke.

We couldn’t have asked for a better musician for our wedding! Leigh was incredible from start to finish — professional, easy to work with, and so talented. He set the perfect tone for our day, creating such a warm and romantic atmosphere during the ceremony and drinks reception. The upbeat set after the food was a hit.

His voice and guitar playing were beautiful and added such a special touch to every moment. So many of our guests commented on how amazing he was and how perfectly his music fit the vibe of our wedding. He was also wonderful to communicate with leading up to the big day — responsive, accommodating, and genuinely invested in making everything just right.

If you’re looking for a wedding artist who will elevate your wedding with beautiful live music and a seamless experience, look no further. We can’t recommend Leigh highly enough!

Leigh at our Wedding

Leigh performed at our wedding alongside his duo partner, Matt. I am a musician, so music, and indeed its quality, was vital to me. I know both Leigh and Matt from the industry, and my word, they were amazing. They'd learned a bunch of songs for the ceremony and the drinks reception. Accomodating, professional, smart, cool, easy going, kind, punctual. Everything and more. Look no further. He wins the awards for a reason. So soulful, and made our day perfect. Couldn't have asked for more

An Unforgettable Voice On Our Wedding Day

Leigh was absolutely incredible from start to finish. His voice is truly stunning — emotional, powerful, and pitch-perfect. He brought such warmth and elegance to our wedding day, and every guest commented on how beautiful the music was.

He was professional, easy to communicate with, and made the whole process feel effortless. Leigh captured the exact mood we hoped for and made those key moments even more memorable.

We couldn’t have asked for anyone better. Thank you, Leigh, for making our day so special!

Perfect Wedding Ceremony Music!

Leigh performed beautifully at our wedding ceremony and during the pre-ceremony. He was a delight to speak to, super flexible, easy-going, kind, and most importantly an incredible musician. We couldn't recommend him more! His song choices, and additional ones that we chose and he happily added in, made the day better than we could have imagined. Thank you Leigh!

Leigh is incredible

From the moment we heard an Instagram video of Leigh we knew we wanted him at our wedding. After our first conversation he was so flexible, and worked around the timings of our day with no issue.
We had a few calls with Leigh in the build up and he felt like a friend from the start. His music is absolutely incredible and he worked in some really personal requests with ease. We kept him as a surprise but all of the family and every guest commented on how great he is!
I could not recommend him enough, and if you are considering a live artist, he is absolutely brilliant!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to make your big decisions easier.
