What a gent absolute superstar made our wedding

We’re to start when we first booked Leon we booked him for his country style voice has were big country lovers,
But upon hearing his sets this man can pull off anything!

Nothing was too much hassle for Leon I even contacted him when he was in Greece and he still answered if you want a realiable vendor look no further,

Every conversation was smooth and easy made everything so simple from booking to the event I asked him to write a song for my wife to be which he absolutely perfected every person at our wedding commented on his song when he sung it and really made our wedding feel just that bit more special,

If for whatever reason I required another singer we’d book him twice he’s just that good!

Leon I’m not sure if you do read these but if you do Jenny was extremely grateful has was I

Absolute Perfection — Highly Recommended!

We hired Leon to perform at our wedding, and he was absolutely incredible from start to finish. So many of our guests have asked us how we managed to find him!
We had originally planned to book a full group, but we quickly realised you have to be careful with bands, as some outsource their members and don't actually confirm who you are getting until a week before the gig. With Leon, there are no gambles. You know exactly what you are getting: a fantastic, 5-star, Apple Music-listed singer and guitarist.
He took our brief perfectly, allowing us to select a playlist from his highly impressive repertoire, and delivered a flawless performance with zero mistakes. He played all afternoon, and it felt like one seamless, non-stop set that kept the atmosphere alive. Leon truly helped make our wedding day unforgettable, and we cannot thank him enough!

One of the highlights of our day!

We were fortunate enough to have amazing weather for our wedding day so Leon was able to set up outside and perform to our guests that were sat out in the sun. Everyone was up dancing and it really was such an amazing part of our day. Everyone raved about Leon saying how brilliant he was - really amazing voice, and a really nice guy too. He also sang our first dance which was another special moment for us. He learnt the song for us and even gave us a couple of options for it. He was also incredibly helpful with our song choices and was easy to deal with. I honestly couldn't recommend him highly enough!

Bloody brilliant

Write a review for a a guitarist that did our ceremony and reception music at my wedding this weekend.

Let me tell you about Leon Marshall... What a legend. Super chilled, very flexible and incredibly talented ... there were so many "oh he's good isn't he" "What a lovely tone to his voice" and "gosh where did you find the guitarist, he's brilliant".
Such a big repatoire of songs and letting you select the ones you want is fab allows the day to be even more personal.
Leon very kindly learnt a couple of songs for us, one as a suprise to my now HUSBAND which was a really precious suprise as we signed the register. But also our aisle song.... Oh my god did Leon nail that. Successfully getting the normally very stoic groom to absolutely lose it was great work. 🤣

Finally, the communication was brilliant. Leon was really responsive and nothing was too much he sent a recording before the big day of the song he'd learnt and I had a little excited cry of anticipation which was a lovely extra little moment.

Thank you for everything Leon, we will be on the look out to come to a live gig some time to continue to enjoy your wonderful talent.

Great reception drinks

Leon was great - from initial chat to the day, it all was well planned and high quality. His voice is really excellent.

There a huge amount of songs to chose from, and Leon shows up on the day and gets on with set up etc. - not needing any time / attention which was pretty stretched!

Also, he lent his equipment for my sister to sing in the ceremony which was incredibly kind / helpful and helped her with set up etc.

All in all a great experience and would recommend!

10/10, genuinely the best!

We genuinely couldn’t recommend Leon more, from the range of songs he performed to the ease of contacting him and his responsiveness throughout all the wedding planning. All of our guests thought he was amazing. Thank you again Leon, for helping to make our wedding day perfect!

Thanks again!

Nobody Better than Leon

Leon was quite honestly incredible, and that’s not just us saying it. Multiple friends and family members reached out on the day and since to tell us how amazing he was, and they were absolutely right.

He was so flexible and generous with his time, and genuinely felt like part of the day rather than just a supplier. He spent the whole day with us, from entertaining guests and singing Christmas songs while I was fashionably late, to singing me down the aisle, setting the festive tone perfectly, and then switching effortlessly into songs that got everyone up and dancing.

During dinner, he somehow managed to get the whole room joining in, with Beautiful Things being a real standout moment. He even made time for an impromptu mother and son dance with my toddler, which is a memory I will treasure forever. Then, to top it all off, he sang our first dance song perfectly. It could not have been more us.

Leon’s voice, energy and ability to read the room are just unreal. He elevated every single moment and brought such warmth and joy to the day.

We have now decided we simply need Leon as the soundtrack to our lives and all future events. If you are even slightly considering booking him, do it. You will not regret it.

Amazing Day

Leon was absolutely amazing from first contact. What a beautiful voice thank you so much we had the best day. So glad we had you sing for our first dance it made it even more special. We would highly recommend Leon his pricing is very reasonable and he doesn't inflate it for a wedding.

Amazing Howsham Hall Performance!

Leon was an incredible musician for our wedding at Howsham Hall. We had the choice of various songs from the 50s to the present to develop set lists that we knew would be pleasing to our guests. Leon has such a strong and bold voice that worked greatly in the grand spaces of Howsham - much of our guests were amazed by his performance. Furthermore, Leon made preparations for the big day so easy, communicating to us fully and ensuring to be punctual for the day. Thank you Leon for making our big day, that more perfect and special.

Highly recommended singer 10/10

Thank you for being absolutely brilliant throughout our entire wedding journey — from our initial enquiry right through to your incredible performance on the day itself. So many of our guests commented on how fantastic you were, and the special set you did for the kids was such a thoughtful and well-received touch. We would wholeheartedly recommend you to anyone looking for a genuine, kind person and a truly talented musician.

Thanks again,
Jason

Got all our day guests up and dancing!

Leon was absolutely fantastic, from the moment we contacted him. He was very quick to respond, gave us options of songs and asked if we wanted any other songs. Leon preformed two of our favourite songs, which we were able to have our mini first dance too. All our guests were up dancing and singing along which set the tone for the day. Would highly recommend!!!

Absolutely Amazing

Leon performed at our wedding this October, and everyone loved him! He was responsive, professional and accommodating. He played to a crowd of mixed age perfectly and performed our first dance live, which was wonderful. We would highly recommend. Thank you Leon!

Just what we were looking for!

Leon provided fantastic entertainment and music for our guests during the drinks reception and for during the ceremony. He provided a seamless service from start to finish. We have received so many compliments from our guests about Leon’s voice and music post our wedding, and I can’t recommend Leon enough.

Perfect addition to our day!

Leon was an absolutely perfect addition to our day. We had more of a relaxed reception at a brewery and his style was exactly what we wanted. From the start, Leons communication was excellent, replying very quickly to emails. We found it really easy to make our song choices as he had a page where you could tick all of the ones you wanted, divided up into decades. He said that he was able to learn a song if we had any requests however, there was such a large range of songs in his repertoire to choose from that we didn't need him to learn anything else! Leon was flexible with the timings of his sets, having a break inbetween so guests could eat. His voice is beautiful, and all the guests commented how great he was. Highly recommend!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to make your big decisions easier.
