Don’t think twice
We saw Simon performing at a Wedding Fayre and our ears immediately pricked up.
It was our first time at a wedding fayre and we had gone purely to get some ideas but we knew there and then that we wanted Simon to be a part of our wedding.
The communication we had with him was great. Depite booking just under two years prior to our wedding, when we got in touch with him closer to the time to sort details out, he was very personable and remembered us. He always responded to messages we sent and we had a call with him to go over a few things to make sure the day flowed perfectly from the music point of view.
As for the day, Simon was amazing. He covered our day from the guests arriving, to the ceremony, and then during the wedding breakfast.
Everyone we have spoken to either on the day or after have commented what an asset he was to our day. He did such a god job of the songs we chose to walk down and back up the aisle to, and for the rest of the day.
Would highly recommend Simon to anyone for their wedding or any other event.
We hope to see Simon in the future at one of his gigs, he had such a positive effect on our day.

Can not recommend Simon enough for any function, especially for your wedding day!!
After finding simon through an online search at the beginning of 2023 we really liked what we saw/heard!
We then went to a few gigs and were definitely not disappointed!
Simon is so talented and we were so happy that we had booked him for our special day!
He was more than happy to answer any queries and got back to us promptly.
Simon did 2 sets at our wedding, one for the drinks reception and one for the evening reception. He even sang our first dance which meant the world to us!
He covers many genres which all of our guests absolutely loved! Definitely gets everyone in the mood!!
He really did go above and beyond and we were so lucky to have him celebrate our special day with us!
Thank you so so much!!

Thank you guys!
I genuinely cannot thank Simon and Alex enough for performing at our wedding. I've followed Simon for a few years now, occasionally bumping into him at weddings we were both working, and knew he was amazing. But once I saw him and Alex perform together I knew I needed them to be a part of my special day.
They completely went above and beyond by learning songs I asked for, and compiling the perfect set to fit in with our punk/pop, indie, rock tastes.
The dance floor was full the entire time, and all of our guests were full of compliments.
Thank you so much guys! You were literally perfect and I wish I could do it all again!

Great job!
Simon recently performed during our cocktail hour at our wedding and he was so good! He moved from outside to inside all without a hitch - and was just great 😊 His voice is incredible and we are truly honoured to have had him at our special day. Thank you so much.

Simply Fantastic
Simon played at our Wedding and did an amazing job, such a nice guy with a great voice. He learned new songs for our ceremony and first dance, and filled the dance floor until the DJ took over. All our guests were impressed and said how they'd enjoyed his singing.
From my initial conversations with Simon, he's was helpful, accommodating and quick to respond. i'd highly recommend him to anyone. Thanks Simon

The best of the best!!
We had Simon at our wedding last month singing and dj’ing inbetween, and what a night we all had! We’d given Simon some ideas of what we liked and left the rest up to him and it was perfect and kept the dance floor busy!
We’d had to change dates times due to covid and he accommodated every single one very quickly and even came straight to ours from another event he’d already had booked in!
We’ve had so many comments from our guests on how great he was and how good the music was. Simon, we really can’t fault you or Thank you enough.
