Such a talent abd made our day magical

We hired Paul to play our ceremony and reception and he was great, all of our guests told us how much they loved the music and he really created a great atmosphere in the reception. For the ceremony he learned three new songs that we'd requested and played them beautifully. We'd recommend him very highly indeed.

Excellent musician

We hired Paul to play during our ceremony and drinks reception, and we couldn't possibly fault him. He learned three new songs that we had requested for the occasion, and played them beautifully. It made the ceremony extra special, and all of our guests made a point of telling us how good he was, and how much they loved the reception music. Communication was clear and responses were always fast, and prices were more than reasonable. Would recommend him very highly indeed.

Paul was our wedding celebration singer, and he was amazing!

We found him online and thought his prices and previous reviews were perfect for what we wanted.

Our original intention was to have background music for our celebration and first dance performance, but Paul went above and beyond.

Communication from the start was easy and fast, including last-minute changes to the schedule, which Paul handled very well.

On the day, Paul absolutely rocked. He became the main event! He had everyone up dancing while performing on our stage area, people were singing along and cheering throughout. His performance was outstanding, and every single guest said how amazing he was!

We could not have asked for anything more and are extremely grateful we booked him. I would highly recommend anyone looking for a wedding performer to book Paul!

Such a lovely voice.

I had so many nice comments from my guests for the entertainment. Paul’s singing is so nice. He was very accommodating with his song choices and it was so nice to have him sing for us on the day. Really regret not being there as much as I wanted to, in order to enjoy the singing!
