Amazing Piano and Evening Music
Amazing Piano and Evening Music We first saw James at a wedding open day at the Woodman Inn, he's an amazing pianist and just wanted him to play for us at our wedding. We had James play a piano set at our reception with a mix of House and R&B chillout. The guest absolutely loved his style and really made the atmosphere after the ceremony. We just told James the genres we like and left it up to him to play whatever he liked, he didn't disappoint and it was amazing. We also had James do the music

Absolutely incredible, really made our day!
Absolutely incredible, really made our day! We had James play the piano during our ceremony, wedding breakfast and then DJ at night. It really was worth every penny!! The piano during the day added that extra touch, we had so many impressed guests, playing guess that tune and singing along. As DJ James really was able to read the room and kept the dance floor full all night long! Such an amazing and professional service and would highly recommend to anyone!

Brilliant Wedding DJ
Brilliant wedding DJ James came to DJ our evening party on the 1st June and he did not disappoint! On the run up to the day he listened to all my requests and took them on board and they all came out exactly as needed- including a song change within my father daughter dance! He kept the party going and was really happy to play all requests we had, even in specific orders! Would highly recommend!

amazing from start to finish.
We were lucky enough to have James play at our recent wedding. He was amazing from start to finish. In the lead up to the big day the communication was faultless we were well informed and had complete confidence in James and he certainly didn’t let us down. His musical repertoire is incredible, many of the guests commented on how lovely the music was. James also did the evening Dj’ing and kept the dance floor full with a wide range of music to suit everyone and was so welcoming of requests. Grea

Exactly as we wanted and made our day very special
Exactly as we wanted and made our day very special We can't thank James enough for his support, patience and flexibility with us having to rearrange our wedding so many times due to covid. When we finally had our day in March 2023 it was everything we wanted it to be. James has a huge playlist to choose from for piano music which allowed us to pick some favourites and create an amazing atmosphere for our wedding breakfast. It was great to see so many smiles as people realised which songs and mov
