Exceptional singer and performer

Leon was absolutely amazing at our wedding, he learned a number of songs that we requested and he played beautifully throughout the day. Our guests all said how fantastic he was as well.

Our Micro-Wedding at The Pheasant Hotel, Harome

Leon performed at our wedding between our ceremony and dinner, completing two set lists within 2 hours. Beforehand he sent us song options and the list was extensive. On the day, everyone thought he was brilliant and he was the perfect choice for us. We would not hesitate to recommend him. He is easy to work with and a lovely guy too. Many of our guests asked us how we found him as we were not local to the area. Prior to meeting him on the day, we had not seen him play live before, but we had been impressed with music shared on his website along with his great reviews too.

Brilliant singing guitarist at our wedding

So pleased we picked Leon to do an hour singing slot at our wedding. Everyone commented what a lovely voice he had, and he offered a really good mix of covers along with his own music. We also found him to be really quick and responsive to emails and he kept everyone entertained whilst our wedding breakfast room was turned around for evening do. Would definitely recommend Leon!

Incredible guy with an incredible voice

Leon was fantastic from the very first point of contact right up to the wedding day. We were unsure whether our micro wedding needed any evening entertainment but after speaking with Leon and agreeing on a fully unplugged acoustic set we knew this would be the best fit for us.
We were sent a huge list of songs to choose from and also added in our first dance request which Leon performed so well!
He’s an absolute talent being able to put his own spin on each song we chose, his voice is insane 🔥 and he was the perfect addition to our wedding evening. I would highly recommend Leon to anyone looking for a friendly, approachable, professional and extremely talented guy! Thank you so much for bringing the party to our small do - Mr & Mrs Elder!

Wedding singer! 🎤🎸

Leon performed at our wedding and we couldn’t have been more happy with him. From start to finish he was professional and quick to respond to our requests. He provided us with his playlist and it was tough to choose as his music was a perfect fit for what we wanted. Everyone loved him and he got everyone on the dance floor despite him playing quite early on in the evening! Thanks Leon!!

Professional and Seamless with a beautiful voice.

I watched Leon perform at an organised event and I knew instantly that he was the perfect match to compliment our Wedding.
Leon is fantastic, superbly talented and he went above and beyond our expectations. His repertoire is extensive and varied.
We had some specific requests for the day, which Leon catered to with ease and confidence.
He has an amazing voice and we all enjoyed listening to him perform and I wouldn't hesitate to hire him again for any future events.
*As a footnote* When Leon emailed me over a sample copy of his performance singing my chosen 'bridal entrance' song (which was a tricky song) I cried, it was such an emotional rendition, truly beautiful.

Wedding evening entertainment

"Leon was amazing!! Really great guy, everyone of our wedding guests were so impressed with his performance! Would definitely recommend him. He was really professional from start to finish and was quick to reply when I had any queries. He also learnt our first dance song, which he sang and played amazingly."

Brilliant from start to finish! Would highly recommend!

We booked Leon to play at our wedding during the ceremony and the drinks reception. During the booking process and leading up to the wedding he was very helpful, responding almost immediately to any query we had. He played whilst the guests were being seated and during the signing of the register, and also learnt a new song for us that we had chosen for walking back down the aisle, which was brilliant. As the weather had surprised us and we were able to be outside during the drinks reception at the end of October, Leon was flexible in where he was going to set up and play, and he was more than willing to change if required! His performance was fantastic throughout the day, which was commented on by everyone. I would highly recommend Leon to anyone!

Amazing! Highly recommend!

Leon played at our wedding at the start of October and we can’t thank him enough, he was amazing! We chose to have the ceremony and the drinks reception, and so glad that we did. From first contact with Leon he was so helpful and made everything very easy for us. He has so many songs to choose from, and even learnt a new one for our ceremony. The sun was shining so we had our drinks reception outside, and Leon was able to move and play outside which was just perfect. Everyone at the wedding commented on how great he was. We would highly recommend! Thank you so much Leon! ☺️

A 5* talent who made our day perfect!

Leon played for our wedding ceremony, he learned a song for me walking down the aisle and it was perfect, just how I’d imagined!
He arrived in plenty of time before the ceremony and his service was seamless from my initial enquiry right through to his thank you email, a genuinely lovely guy, I’d recommend him 100%
Thank you so much Leon, you made our day!

Fantastic from start to finish

Leon played at our wedding reception and made our day absolutely perfect. He is an amazing musician and singer! He is experienced, reliable and extremely helpful. Leon worked with us when timings changed on the day and we had good communication at all times throughout the planning period. Many of our guests commented on Leon’s fantastic voice/ music and we couldn’t agree more. We highly recommend Leon for your next event!
