biggest guitar & wedding music agencies in Europe!

  ARE YOU GETTING MARRIED?  - We can provide beautiful guitar music for your special day!  >> More information >>

We can provide beautiful music for your wedding - click here for more information

Having a guitarist at your Wedding can really help to relax your guests and make your day even more memorable with music during the Ceremony, the Drinks Reception, the Reception Meal, or all three!   All artists have full insurance and professional amplification.  Gentle amplification is always used unless 'unplugged' playing is specifically requested. 
l The Ceremony.  Live music can really add to the ambiance of your Ceremony by having a musician playing romantic music whilst your guests are arriving. You could then select a piece of your own choice, or from the musician’s repertoire list for the Bride’s entrance, the Signing of the Register and for the couple’s exit from the church or venue.
l The Drinks Reception.  Whilst the Bride and Groom are being whisked away for photographs, your guests can really benefit from some live music whilst they mingle. It can add a real touch of class to the atmosphere.
l The Wedding Breakfast Meal.  Having live music during your dinner is also a popular choice. The musician will usually play until the speeches, then quietly pack away and leave.

Client Feedback, Thank-You Letters & Artist Reviews

● Here's what some of our customers say about us:-

 

"Hello Andrew, I must avail myself of this opportunity to say what an absolute pleasure it's been dealing with you and your agency.  I have been very impressed by your efficiency, friendliness and helpful advice.  Your website is superb and I found it really easy to find and select a guitarist for my event. I will be writing to you after the event to let you know how it's gone but in the meantime thanks again for everything.

 

Yes, I made email contact with the guitarist some weeks ago and in fact a couple of days ago he rang me at home for a chat just to see if there was anything I wanted to finalise with him.  He was very friendly and accommodating throughout and I really look forward to hearing him perform on Saturday."  (Helen Wade, Anniversary Party, 2005)

 

"The Sitar player (MA-02) played at our wedding on Saturday to a very discerning mainly Indian audience. We had fantastic feedback - "very accomplished" and "a stroke of genius" being just two of the compliments received. He struck just the right note for the occasion. Thanks so much. We'll definitely be recommending you." Best wishes.

(Ninder & Ajay, Indian Bride and Groom, Nov. 2005)

 

"Hi Andrew, the evening was a success!!  (RU-02) is a superb flamenco guitarist and we could have listened to him play all night...  He told us a little of the history behind flamenco and chatted to everybody during the break. He even managed to get a Spanish audience member to dance for him towards the end!!  Thank you once again for your help. Sandra. (Spanish Evening, April 2005).

 

"...thank you, - its a pleasure to work with someone who runs an agency properly!"  John, (Hotel Opening Gala, January 2005.)

 

"Dear Andrew, just to let you know that your guitarist (KU-01) on Friday night was a huge hit.  Everybody really enjoyed his music and thought it was a wonderful way to start the evening off. 

 

Please will you kindly thank him personally from me as I was only able to chat to him at the beginning of the evening and missed him when he left, although I do know that Glenn - my husband did thank him very much.

Glenn's 4 year old daughter was enthralled! Many thanks again & very best wishes. Ashley & Glenn, (Wedding Reception, July 2004.)

 

"...an absolutely first class all round performance. The music was PERFECT and we had several comments afterwards echoing this. We were disappointed not to be able to have the chance to chat with Andrew to let him know how much we liked his performance. - One word - FANTASTIC! :0)"

Mark, (Wedding, January 2005.)

 

 

"...we can't praise Andrew enough, we had so many positive comments from other guests and have recommended him to several friends.  We were so pleased that he learned the song we requested for the signing of the register, he moved around the reception so smoothly and added a lovely atmosphere to the whole proceedings.  It was lovely during all of the wedding stress to feel so confident in one of your suppliers. We can't thank you enough for everything you added to our special day, we wouldn't hesitate to recommend you to others." 

Kate and Mike, (Wedding, December 2004.)

"...Dear Andrew, I have submitted the feedback form but also wanted to email you to say thank you very much for all your help in organising a guitarist for our Spanish evening. He (RA-03) was very good indeed.  He is an excellent guitarist and was very professional.  He gauged the evening perfectly regarding the music he played and when he took breaks.  The Agency was very approachable, helpful and professional, and I very much appreciate all your help in making our event a success." 

Caroline, (Solicitors Banquet, November 2004.)

 

"I can only express my opinion with one word...FANTASTIC....everybody was so impressed, the music was excellent and it made my day 1000 times more special.  If I ever have anything to celebrate as important as this I will definitely book you again and I will certainly recommend you to all my friends. Thank you very very much..."

Carmen, (Spanish Wedding, July 2004.)

 

"...Hi Andrew, thank you so much for playing so beautifully at our wedding - I'm sorry we didn't get to talk to you but we really appreciated the music and many of our guest commented on it afterwards."  

Zoë, (Wedding, August 2004.)

 

"... The guitarist (JU-01) was a very personable chap, and played everything requested with ease. Having him play modern Indie tunes made the wedding very different, and played a huge part in generating a 'cool' atmosphere that everyone in attendance felt was wonderful. He also stayed on (at our request) and became part of the family photographs.  The agency was very professional and well organised - we didn't have to worry about a thing - THANK YOU!!!!!!!"

Michelle and Mark, (Indie/Alternative Wedding, May 2004.)

 

"...Our guitarist (AG-01) was excellent. The music was lovely, exactly the style and tone I was looking for - highly professional and competent. And the website, and the ability to listen to clips by the various artists, was excellent. Thanks so much!"

Barbara, (Wedding, July 2004.)

 

"...Andrew was very courteous and played the guitar with real feeling making our day special. We had a wonderful day and had some good feedback from our guests. Thank you Andrew for being part of our special day."

Louise & Jim, (Wedding, July 2004.)
