FAQs
Find out a bit more from our FAQs
What is your most memorable wedding?
I have played many weddings but one of the most memorable venues I have played at was the historic Cliveden House. I played in a beautiful outdoor ceremony on the terrace, an intimate wedding breakfast in the elegant 'French Dining Room', and then during then on the balcony for cocktails at sunset. The views were absolutely stunning.
Describe your style in 5 adjectives.
Soulful, Smooth, Captivating, Considerate, Classic
What about your business are you most proud of?
I take great pride in my punctuality, presentation, and professionalism, ensuring the best service from the moment I arrive, not just during my performance.
What is your No. 1 wedding planning tip for couples?
Get creative and be unconventional!
What is your favourite personal touch you have seen at a wedding?
I once saw Willy Wonka bars with the guests names printed on them. Someone even got a gold ticket!
Describe your typical process with a couple.
Upon receiving my brochure you can browse the act options I have available. We discuss the length of my performance and what parts of the day you'd like me to be involved in. I request the essential wedding details and explain the booking process in order to secure the date.
What makes a romantic first dance?
I prefer first dances that are not scripted or rehearsed. I think this moment should be exclusively for the couple to enjoy and express themselves however they wish, to whichever song resonates with them the most. As a guest, seeing the couple enjoy that moment for themselves is the most romantic thing in my opinion.
What is your number one floor-filler?
As a background music act, I don't exactly do floor-fillers but 'Rather Be' by Jess Glynn is one of my more upbeat tunes, which can sometimes get people singing along or dancing in the earlier parts of the day.
Which band from the past would you most like to have been part of?
As a saxophonist, it would have to be part of Earth Wind and Fire's infamous horn section. Or stepping into the shoes of the mighty 80s saxophonist, Clarence Clemons, to play alongside Bruce Springsteen.
What is the soundtrack to your life?
The music I perform and listen to are very different... but I do have an unhealthy obsession with cheesy 80s music!
