Lovely voice

Simon is the most charming man you could meet and he sings beautifully.
We had him for post wedding breakfast to entertain our guests, it was mainly to entertain our more elderly guests but he had tocompete with noise of all our guests but he did an amazing job.
We were so pleased and honoured he came to our wedding

Amazing in every way!

Amazing in every way! Simon played during our wedding breakfast and he could not have been more perfect. I had so much going on with work prior to the wedding but completely trusted the playlist he proposed.

He arrived and set up without anyone noticing, started singing as we sat down for food which set the scene for such a relaxed and enjoyable evening...I will need to arrange another party just to have him back!

Totally recommended!

We totally recommend Simon to everyone who is looking for a touch of vintage style for their occasion. We found him online. We were looking for a 1920s/30s singer and he was perfect. Simon sang during our meal and made our wedding day really special. We were worried he wouldn’t be able to travel all the way to London, but he was more than happy. (Michelle and Nick)
