His singing was incredible

James sang at our wedding on 21st of July. What a super friendly and charming guy he is. His singing was incredible and made our day even more special. So many of our guests commented on how cool he was and everyone loved him. I would highly recommend James for any wedding or special occasion he was fantastic. We asked James for the Ultimate Package, he was there from our reception drinks through to our wedding breakfast and then on till the end of the evening. He sang in between courses which really filled the silent and potentially awkward gaps. Again I would highly recommend this package to anyone thinking about entertainment throughout the big day. A massive thank you x

Amazing! James made our day!

We recently had James singing at our wedding on 2/2/22 for his ultimate package! ( Drinks Reception, Wedding Breakfast, Evening Singer even MC and DJ too). Sorry for the long review. Well what can we say about James… Well he’s an all round awesome guy. Kind, friendly, a great singer,can’t do enough for you, very professional and looks the part too. He made our day! Even did us a game of Mr & Mrs on request which was good fun. As we all know wedding are expensive and everything is over priced. James however is worth every single penny! We had a technical issue with the venue playing our music,( venue not James) and basically the whole ceremony music went to pot! I was extremely disappointed as to me it was a big thing.. So was so so relieved that we could rely on James for music and entertainment for the rest of the day, and he didn’t disappoint! He managed to put a smile back on my face again ❤️ Everybody commented on how great he was throughout the day and evening, how talented he is and that he’s professional and good fun. All the guests were waving and singing along and Some guests were even up on the dance floor in the wedding breakfast ( between courses). Was a great atmosphere. James has a great range of songs and genres in his set and will even learn a few songs for you! We had a Disney theme and he sang some Disney numbers in between his sets which was amazing and a perfect blend of Disney and normal ! Which went down great with me and the kids 👍🏽😂 And to top it off he sang our first dance song a Disney song perfectly which he had to learn! ❤️ And we have a CD to remember it by. My 5year old niece was the first on the dance floor and didn’t want to go to bed she said it was her favouritist day ever! I would 100% recommended James If your thinking of booking Him go for it don’t hesitate! Thank you James for making our day so special and cheering me up! ❤️ Becky & Rich xx Pictures are of end of the night
