    made our music dreams come true

    Tom was the best supplier we hired for our wedding (and we had 12). He was so flexible when I changed the playlist about 12 times. He learned multiple songs for free. He was so kind and played flawlessly. All of our guests were in awe. I was almost brought to tears because of how magical it was to hear all my favourite songs sung live. I cannot recommend him enough.

    Amazing - Tom is so talented

    Tom played and sang so so beautifully on our wedding day. He is such a lovely person and perfectly professional. I would hire him a hundred times over, he played during our ceremony with such authenticity and was a dream to collaborate with in the lead up.

    Brilliant! Highly recommended!

    Tom played during our ceremony and drinks reception and we couldn’t be happier. He really was one of the highlights of our wedding! So many of our guests commented on Tom’s amazing voice and beautiful playing and walking down the aisle to his acoustic version of Edward Sharpe’s Home is a memory neither of us will ever forget.

    Not only that, Tom was so lovely and helpful before the wedding day itself. The care he took to find out about us, learn so many of our song requests and create two really personal sets for us really did go above and beyond. He clearly worked so hard to make this extra special for us. Thank you Tom!

    Beautiful voice - he made our day so special!

    Tom played at our wedding in July and he was absolutely incredible. He was so helpful and friendly in the lead up to our big day and he really put us at ease and made us feel confident that we were in excellent hands! He has a beautiful voice and on the day, he was even better than our (already very high!) expectations. He played a huge part in making our wedding day so special. If you love music, we would definitely recommend hiring him.

    The best decision we made!

    Firstly, we would summarise our experience with Tom as perfect from start to finish. We’ve highlighted the reasons below but if you want a top line summary then there you go.

    Pre-wedding

    We found Tom on hitched, having trawled through countless websites trying to find the right singer. Music was a very important part of our day so we needed it to fit with what our vision for the day was.

    We were amazed at the depth of Tom’s repertoire, with an excellent selection of songs spanning multiple decades (50s through to 2020s). His package also offers some off repertoire songs too, so we actually found it hard to whittle it down if anything, with the selection available.

    Once we contacted Tom, he was quick to respond, offering a Zoom meeting or in person if we were close by. We discussed the logistics of the day and he was kind enough to help us with our ceremony structure (as he too had a humanist ceremony). This was incredibly helpful as we were constructing our own ceremony with a family member as a celebrant, so his help was reassuring and appreciated greatly. Shortly after our discussion, Tom sent us a spreadsheet to select our songs and requests, so that he could start to draw together a set list. He was accommodating with some challenging requests (walking down the aisle to Lovin’ you by Minnie Ripperton) and completely surpassed our expectations. You could tell throughout that Tom really wanted to get these right for us.

    In the weeks prior to the wedding, Tom showed a great deal of diligence, making sure that we had thought about certain logistical steps to make our woodland ceremony a success. There were certain things Tom brought to our attention that we wouldn’t have otherwise thought about. He was proactive in checking through the ceremony schedule to get timings right which was great in busy build up to the wedding. One less thing to worry about.

    On the day

    We chose Tom’s ceremony and reception package, from when guests took their seats through to the wedding feast. His music within the setting of our woodland wedding was simply beautiful. It set the tone for our day perfectly and made it feel even more special and personal, as he sang our favourite songs that he’d learnt for us. His voice is gorgeous and everyone was captivated as he played. After the ceremony, he played around 90mins throughout our canapé reception, creating an atmosphere that felt like a summer festival in the 70s!

    We can’t express how happy we were to have Tom play at our wedding. We knew he’d be totally perfect but he blew us away with his incredible voice, kindness and care. He embraced our vision and brought it to life and the music was a huge part of our day and a fantastic lasting memory.

    Thank you Tom!

    I would recommend him in a flash!

    Tom was not only lovely and very talented but was so committed to providing a really special and bespoke set of songs for our wedding day. He designed his playlist based on our preferences, even learning two of our favourite songs that he hadn’t heard before.

    His set was perfect for after the ceremony, providing beautiful entertainment for the guests and the perfect ambience between the ceremony and the meal.

    One of the highlights of the day for me was dancing with my friends during his rendition of my favourite Florence and the Machine song.

    I would recommend him in a flash!

    Incredibly talented and such a lovely person to work with

    Tom played at our wedding at the end of June and we and our guests were so impressed! His covers are unique and complimented all of the original versions of the songs so well. He is a very talanted guitarist and singer and his music was a part of our wedding that we will always look back on fondly.
    Tom is more than just a great singer and guitarist though. From the first enquiry, to our contact after the wedding, Tom has been incredibly friendly and an absolute pleasure to speak with. He's also been very organised and learnt a couple of special requests for us.
    We would highly reccomend Tom for anyone looking for some live music and we hope we can find an excuse to book him again in the future!

    A beautiful voice, talented musician and wonderful person

    We had the best wedding day and Tom was such an important part of it. He was absolutely fantastic and exceeded our already high expectations. We can’t put into words how much we appreciated the effort he put into learning all of the songs we love - music is so important to us and Tom brought our musical dreams to life on the day. So many of our guests commented on how much they loved the music.

    No question was too much hassle and Tom made us feel like our wedding was really special to him. He was great at communicating and attentive to all of our needs and requirements.

    If you like great music, book Thomas J Wilman for your wedding!

    A fantastic supplier and musician who made our wedding day so special and personal to us! Would recommend in a heartbeat.

    Thomas came to sing at our Manchester wedding in April 2023 and he made the church service so memorable, with guests praising his wonderful style and exceptional taste in music. We knew when we found Thomas online that we had to book him! Honestly, our wedding wouldn't have been the same without Thomas and I would recommend his musical services to anyone and everyone- professional, efficient, easy-going and most importantly, a talented musician with a gorgeous style. Thank you so much Thomas for being a joy to work with and for making our day so special and personal!

    A beautiful voice

    Thomas has a very empathetic and gentle nature about him which means he takes all of the stress out of dealing with a wedding supplier. He’s kind, helpful and supportive and more than willing to try different things and learn new songs if needed.

    But the real two reasons we chose Thomas were:

    - He has a beautiful voice
    - He has a brilliant taste in music which matched ours

    
From folk and classics of the 1960s and 1970s to modern alternative / indie singer-songwriter he sings with great passion and energy. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a great acoustic musician to complement their wedding or event.

    
Thanks so much again Thomas!
