Truly a Blessing in Disguise❤️

We found Wayne just 6 weeks before our wedding, after our original singer cancelled. What started as a stressful situation quickly turned into a blessing in disguise — from the very first conversation, Wayne reassured us and we instantly knew we were in safe hands. ✨

His voice is truly incredible 🎶, but it’s so much more than that. Wayne has a real gift for performing — engaging the room, creating atmosphere, and knowing exactly how to lift the energy at the right moments.

Looking back, we honestly believe finding Wayne was meant to be ❤️. We couldn’t recommend him more highly! 🌟

Couldn’t recommend SwingKing Entertainment enough🎷🎶🎤

Honestly, there’s no one we’d trust more for entertainment at our events than Wayne. I’ve worked with him few time now for company events, so when it came to our own big day, it was an easy choice.

We booked Eve, an incredible saxophonist I’d hired before for work events, and she honestly made our wedding so special. From the moment our guests arrived right through to when the DJ took over in the evening. She played multiple sets throughout the day (sax/ singing) everyone couldn’t say enough about how amazing she was (the wedding was in June and we’re still getting comments now!)

Wayne is always such a dream to work with. He’s so patient (despite my million questions!) and makes the whole process so easy and stress free. We honestly wouldn’t go through anyone else for entertainment in the future. Couldn’t recommend Wayne enough for any event!

Thank you so much! Hattie & Ollie x

Total Professional

We can’t thank Wayne and his team enough. From the help we got with booking through to the amazing act on the day/night - he was the complete professional.
Right up until the day before he was in touch making sure everything was perfect for us. He has such a talent and is very engaging with all of the guests - nothing was too much trouble.
For the evening we had 3 sets from Wayne with DJ, James in between - they really got the party going
Absolutely recommend them for weddings or any party come to that!

The best decision we made for our day!

From the very beginning, Wayne was so professional and attentive. We felt at ease knowing we had him booked for our special day and having Wayne sing at our wedding was one of the things we were looking forward to most.

On the day Wayne went above and beyond, exceeding our expectations. He ensured everything ran smoothly and checked up on us throughout the day.

Wayne introduced us into the room for the wedding breakfast, and had all of our guests hyped up and smiling. His energy brought such a special atmosphere that we’ll never forget.
One of my favourite moments from the wedding day was when I sat back, looked around at our guests enjoying themselves whilst listening to Wayne singing in the background, whilst some were in awe of him.

We wanted a mix of songs genres as we enjoy Wayne singing both swing and more upbeat, modern songs too. Wayne did an amazing job at putting together a playlist with this varied music.

Wayne is incredibly talented. Our guests are still talking about how brilliant he was.

If you’re looking for someone to not only sing beautifully but also coordinate, engage, and elevate your celebration, Wayne is the person you need. Having him with us was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding!! We couldn’t recommend him enough: Thank you Wayne, for making it so special!

Way more than just a singer!!!

Wayne was absolutely fantastic for our wedding in July. We asked him to be our Master of Ceremonies and we were delighted with our choice.
Wayne met online with us several times before the event to go over running order, suppliers and other aspects and details.
On the day he was brilliant! He liaised with all the suppliers and our entertainment acts and with us! The confidence we had in him meant we could relax (just a bit!) and enjoy our big day.
And on top of all this was his singing!! Fantastic song choices with variety, belted out in quality with passionate performances! He smashed it!!!!
So many of our guests were asking “where did you get Wayne? “
Of course we highly recommend Wayne - his professionalism, his dedication to making our wedding a brilliant success, his own performances - and on top of all this a very stylish character with bags of charm.

wedding vendor of dreams

From the very first enquiry, Wayne could not have been more helpful. He wasn't pushy and patient waiting for our responses. We booked a full package with him and we are so glad that we did. I still cant believe the value for such a class act and how much was included in our day, we only had to contact him and he arranged it all. It made the entire wedding planning a million times less stressful and was able to actually enjoy the planning process.
Our wedding day was a complete dream, so many of our guests have told us it was the best wedding they've attended and without bragging I believe them, all thanks to Wayne and his amazing team. First of singing us down the aisle, providing amazing music from himself and his band, then switching it up and for the party with the dj, sax and bongos. He lead us through the day as an amazing MC. We just couod not be happier with the day he gave us and will forever be truly grateful. I couldn't recommend anymore.

Annabel & Tom Wedding 14.06.2025

I don’t know where to begin… from the moment I booked Wayne he was nothing short of professional, polite, flexible and went above and beyond to tailor our special day to exactly how we imagined it.
The music was spot on and it goes without saying how good of a singer and performer Wayne is.
I honestly do not think the day would have been as amazing as it was if we didn’t have Wayne.
Thank you for everything!!

Wayne sang at my wedding in July 2024 & The day would have not been the same without him!
When he wasn’t singing he was always close by ensuring everything was running smoothly & me and my husband was happy.

He worked with the crowd and sang all the songs I asked for & many more. he did not disappoint. Everyone was complimenting him all day.
His voice is also incredible. We are so grateful for Wayne for making our day perfect & being with us!

Highly recommend Wayne & his team!

London Hotel Wedding

Wayne was the perfect choice for my Son and Daughter-in-laws wedding at the Mayfair Hotel London. Went over and beyond singing at drinks beforehand, walking down the aisle and first dance and many more. Would highly recommend not just for weddings but all occasions. He also supplied the DJ who was also fantastic. Would always be singer of choice for any function. He stayed in touch and listened to what the bride and groom wanted and also gave suggestions to them.
