VOTERS COMMENTS
Here are some recent testimonials from people who have booked Jamie McGuire for
their event...
"Jamie, we just
wanted to thank you for your amazing performance at our wedding. You are truely talented and exceeded our expectations. You
helped give us our perfect day and for that we can't thank you enough. Good luck with fatherhood. All the best."
Rosanna and Anthony Griffiths, Wedding in Willoughby-on-the-Wold,Leics, September
2011
"One of the most difficult things for me and my Husband when planning our
wedding was deciding on the entertainment for the reception. I really wanted a DJ but Scott (my Husband) did not want that
as he found them annoying and wanted a singer, which I did not want, this therefore caused a few arguments. I was looking
on Google one day and came across Jamie's website and after much discussion we decided to book him. It was the best decision
we had made, we got the best of both worlds - a singer and also music like a DJ would play in his breaks, but I am really
glad we did not just go for a DJ in the end. Jamie is a brilliant singer. From the very first email to the moment he left
at the end of the night he always gave outstanding service, nothing was ever too much trouble for him. He replied extremely
quickly to emails or phone calls, I never had to wait no more than a day a day for a reply and if it was longer he would always
apologise for not getting back sooner.
One thing the guests will remember at any wedding is the entertainment,
if it is rubbish then they will forget but if it is excellent then they will remember and talk about it for many weeks
after and I found this with ours, all the guests loved Jamie and have not stopped talking about how good he was. The songs
he played were brilliant. Every time I went to go and talk to a guest he played a good song and I ended up leaving the guest
and back on the dance floor. One of the most memorable moments of the day for me, apart from the wedding service, was the
song my Dad had asked Jamie to dedicate to Scott, which was Bobby Vee's 'Take Good Care of my Baby'. I knew he
was going to play that song so I decided to listen to it on You Tube before the day. Jamie was 1000 times better! Hearing
it live was incredible I was absolutely blown away by how beautiful Jamie's voice came across. I cried in my Dad's
arms when he sang it as it really touched my heart as I knew that I was no longer his little girl. When I looked up half
the room was crying too. I will treasure this moment forever.
Jamie is worth every single penny and I would recommend
him to anybody looking for an extremely talented singer. Thank you once again Jamie for making what was a magical day for
us even more magical. It was an absolute pleasure to have you part of our day."
Hollie
and Scott Englefield, Wedding at 'Scarborough Hill Country Inn', Norwich. August 2011
"Hi Jamie. I just wanted to say a MASSIVE MASSIVE thank you for making our wedding say so special. We
absoloutely loved the music (as you could tell from all my dancing) and the guests have been saying it was the best wedding
music they have heard! Thank you very much and we will be using you again for any future events we may have. Take care,
and thanks once again."
Samantha and Rob Baker, Wedding at 'Prested Hall', Feering, Essex. July
2011
"Hi Jamie. I just wanted to say a HUGE thank you for playing at James'
party on Saturday. Your choice of music was brilliant and everyone commented on what a great voice you have. A personal
favourite for me was the Pulp Fiction dance off, but really all of it was great. I would not hesitate to recommend you and
I think all of the people at the party would agree. Thanks again."
Katy Max, 40th
Birthday Party in Potten End, Hertfordshire. July 2011
"It's
been almost a year since you played for us at Polhawn Fort in Cornwall. We've been meaning for ages to post a comment,
but the anniversary has finally made us do it!
We came across Jamie when searching for someone to play at our
Wedding, and instantly fell in love with his choice of songs and style of playing. We dealt with many suppliers, from chair
covers to caterers, but from first contact, Jamie was by far the most professional. He knew what we wanted more than us! Our
guests loved him, and I wouldn't hesitate for a second to recommend him. If possible we'd have him back for the anniversary
too! Thanks again and best of luck in everything you do."
Brian &
Michelle Gilroy, Wedding at Polhawn Fort, Rame Peninsular, Cornwall. July 2010
"Thank you so much for helping to make Manny's 40th Birthday party a night to remember. Your music and lighting
made for the perfect atmosphere, so much so that even the most reluctant of dancers go up onto the dance floor that night.
Our guests were very impressed....a great mix of songs and music styles...something for everyone! We loved it...best Birthday
present ever!!
Lots of love and we will definitely think of you next time we have a big occasion to celebrate."
Ileen & Maneesh Patel, 40th Birthday Party in Bromley, Kent. June
2011
"Hi Jamie, just wanted to drop you a line to thank you so much for playing
at our wedding on 24 June. You really helped to make the day really special for us, from your superb acoustic set during our
service to your interactive evening set. Anyone that I have spoken to since the wedding has said how good you were, you
catered for everything from my friends requesting random songs to even playing 'Postman Pat' for all the children
(genius). Anyone celebrating a special occasion should look no further than booking you, it will be be the best money they
could spend. Thanks again."
Liam & Sarah Hutchings, Wedding at 'Blake
Hall', Ongar, Essex. June 2011
"Hi Jamie, we just wanted to
write and say a huge thank you for all you did for us on Saturday. It was a fantastic evening and felt your music totally
made the evening! We've had so much positive feedback about you and are so grateful for your performance. Hope
you got back home ok and perhaps see you one day in the future given how many of our friends and family requested your name!"
Fiona & Chloe de Caux, 21st Birthday Party at 'King Edward Hall', Heywards
Heath, West Sussex. June 2011
"Dear Jamie, on behalf of Samm and I,
I just wanted to say a huge thank you for your performance on our wedding day - Friday 10th June. As you know, we were a little
apprehensive about booking a live acoustic guitarist for our evening wedding entertainment as it is not perhaps the obvious
choice, however to say that you were absolutely excellent does not do you justice. Every single one of our guests was amazed
at the breadth and depth of sound that one very obviously talented man can get from a guitar. The energy of your performance
was incredible, you made Samm and I feel really special and as you saw for yourself everyone had a fantastic time.
We are so very pleased that you worked with us before the event itself to allay all of our concerns and to ensure that your
song choices matched exactly what we wanted. Music is a big part of our life and was always intended to be an important part
of our wedding day. You surpassed all of our expectations. The icing on the cake of a perfect day. Love, Martin and Samm."
Martin & Samm Gurney, Wedding at 'Wetherle Manor', Weston-Under-Wetherle,
Warwickshire. June 2011
"Dear Jamie, one very big thank you from the
bottom of my heart for your lovely performance on our wedding day. I thoroughly enjoyed our conversations before the big day
too - your customer service skills are outstanding. It was just what I wanted and the song selection was fantastic and
truely I could not have wished for a better person to give us music to enjoy. Our first dance was just lovely. We hadn't
practiced but you had and I shall always love my memories. Thank you. I hope your success continues and rubs of on your footie
team! (Man United -Ed). Sending you love and light."
Claire & Dominic
Waddell, Wedding at 'The Pumphouse', Bristol, Avon. April 2011
"Dear Jamie, it was so lovely to meet you, eventually, after our various e-mails. I really felt I knew you and I must
say I am SOOO glad that we found you and had you to play at Scott and Sarah's Newlyweds Party. You were just perfect for
what we wanted and even had people up on the floor dancing, in the afternoon!! Truly amazing, especially as there were several
'worse for wear' people around you but you certainly got them revved up again, giving us another fabulous day.
Your choice of songs was excellent together with your fine voice and guitar skills. I know that several guests are intending
to contact you for future events. Nigel and I are seriously thinking of another excuse for a party and will absolutely
need you to perform for us. We will be in touch. Thank you Jamie for everything. Our very best wishes until next time."
Bridget & Nigel Ashton, Newlyweds Party at 'Dunstan Hall', Norwich, Norfolk. April
2011
"Hi Jamie, we just wanted to say thank you for helping to make our wedding
day so special. Your performance created just the right atmosphere from the ceremony through the drinks reception to the evening
party. Your singing and playing were a hit with everyone despite the wide range of ages of our family and friends. Thanks
again."
Suzanne and John, Wedding at 'East Lodge', Matlock, Derbyshire. April
2011
"Dude you were seriously the biggest hit at the wedding, with the exception
of Ayesha and I of course!!. Everyone was seriously loving the music, your voice and it wouldn't have been the same
without you!!!"
Gary & Ayesha Das, Wedding at 'Channels
Golf Club', Chelmsford, Essex. March 2011
"Hi Jamie. A massive
thanks for last night, the music was fantastic and made the evening very special. It certainly was a pleasure dealing with
someone so approachable and professional. All the very best for future events, not that you will need it."
Neil Dickson, 40th Birthday Party at 'Aylsford Rugby Cluh', Aylsford, Kent. March
2011
"Dear Jamie, Szende and I would just like to say another
big thank you for your performance at our Wedding. Everyone really enjoyed it and many commented on what a great job you did.
It was perfect. We couldn't of wished for more. Please add me to your mailing list as we would love to come down and see
you play again sometime. Thanks again."
Ed & Szende Wilson, Wedding
at 'Egypt Mill', Nailsworth, Gloucestershire. November 2010
"Several
of the people who attended our party would pay to see you again, as we would too of course! You have been a real pleasure
to deal with. Very efficient, professional and patient from start to finish - and that makes a change these days!"
Peter & Irene Ford, 25th Wedding Anniversary, Horsham, West
Sussex. October 2010
"Hi Jamie. Just wanted to say Many Thanks for the
fantastic performance you gave at our son Matt's 18th Birthday Party on Friday, we all thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and
all the guests mentioned how good you were. Matt's friends very much enjoyed the song choices and said it was great to
go to a 18th party that was live music instead of a disco.
I also think another reason why it was such a success
was that Matt and ourselves were able to give you an idea of the kind of music we all liked before hand by going through your
playlist and advising you accordingly, which you then acted on and as a result everyone enjoyed the night whatever they were
doing, dancing, chatting or just listening and watching.
We will definitely be in contact with you again when we
have our next celebration of our other son's 18th and our silver wedding anniversary in the near future and I am sure
you will have many more contacts from guests of Matt's party. Many thanks again Jamie."
Peter & Anita Brookes, 18th Birthday Party, Maldon, Essex. August 2010
"Hi Jamie. I just wanted to thank you for helping to make my party on Sunday so enjoyable. We
loved your performance & many of our guests have called to say how great you were. So thanks again and if we are in need
of a musician again I will certainly give you a call. My very best wishes"
Janette
Duncan, Party at ''Gildings Barn", Newdigate, Surrey. July 2010
"Hi Jamie. I know we've sent a card but just wanted to say a big thank you for performing at our wedding
at Braxted Park. You were really brilliant, and played such a great range of songs. My now husband hadn't been sure
about booking you, because you dont really know until the day whether it will be a success. But obviously I was right! And
you were a success. You were brilliant with the song choices that were being thrown your way aswell - sorry about the bob
dylan fan!! I will be sure to recommend you to any of my friends, good luck with rest of your career."
Katie Jones, Wedding at 'Braxted Park', Witham, Essex. June
2010
"Hi Jamie. I find myself in a most unusual situation where my vocabulary
does not extend far enough to tell you how wonderful I thought you were when you played at my wedding on Monday. Obviously
I had hoped and thought that I made the right choice when I hired you but you performed beyond my wildest expectations and
the banter with your adoring audience, including the mini-maniac toddlers, was magic. Your performance at the ceremony was
perfect, absolutely perfect, couldn't have been better. I have lost count of how many people have asked me where I found
you and said how good they thought you were.
Thank you so very much Jamie, I am thrilled that you played at our wedding
and wouldn't hesitate for a single second to call on you again should I ever make another function of any sort........ok
stop groaning! You made a huge contribution to making my day magically perfect and I'll certainly never forget your
amazing performance. I wish you every success in the future, you certainly deserve it." Sue
Wallace, Wedding at 'Holiday Inn Express', Ilford, London. May 2010
"Every part of the booking and act was very professional and stress free. You had been recommended to us
but we still wouldn't know until the end of the evening just how well you did. I am very pleased to say that we thought
you were fantastic and so did our guests. All thought your choice of songs, length of performance and voice were brilliant. Thanks
for making our evening so enjoyable. We couldn't of wished for a better night of entertainment." Tracy Shelton, Wedding at ''Langar Hall', Langar, Nottingham. April
2010
"Hi Jamie. Thank you very
much for your assistance and performance at our Wedding on Friday, the music was thoroughly enjoyed by all and created a great
atmosphere for the evening. I would also like to congratulate you on your professionalism from the initial enquiry through
to your prompt arrival and excellent performance on the evening. Would highly recommend. Many thanks again." Antony & Donna Shore, Wedding at 'The Hickstead Hotel', Hickstead,
West Sussex. March 2010
"Hi Jamie. A
big thank you for your tremendous contribution on our special night. Everyone had a great time and I have received so
many compliments about the music (and musician). You worked so hard and the music you sang and played was perfect for the
evening. Hope you got home OK and once again many, many thanks. Very best regards." Julia & Brian Tant, 40th Anniversary at 'The Compasses Inn', Gomshall,
Surrey. March 2010
"Delighted on all counts and have recommended you to many others and
will continue to do so. Excellent music and I have had many friends and family comment on how broad your repertoire was and
how professionally it was delivered. It was a great feeling to know we had both the music and the atmosphere taken care of
having heard the preview disc you kindly sent us. This is a winner and gave us a high degree of certainty for the success
of the party. I was knocked out with the intro filler music too, and appreciated the special one you learnt for us Paul Weller
‘You Do Something To Me’. You’re a diamond find mate. Thanks again and good luck with everything."
Martin Green, 50th Birthday Party at 'London
Irish RFC', Sunbury, Middlesex. February 2010
"Hi Jamie, hope you are well. We were
both so pleased with the way it went. It was an amazing day and your performance was the icing on the cake. Everybody had
such a brilliant time and the people we have spoken to since (pretty much everyone!) have said they were SO impressed with
your performance. So many people said how they would recommend you to anyone having a wedding or function where live music
was required. The way you interacted
with everyone was amazing – it made it feel so personal that you allowed my best man, wife and her brother, and my brother
in law sing with you, amongst others. I just wish so much that I could experience the evening again, in slow motion, and have
everything filmed so that I could play it all back again and again! Everything from the moment I
enquired about booking you has been first class. You were always quick to respond to queries I had and were really flexible
with timings and music we wanted you to perform. On the day everybody could not believe how brilliant you were, from the laid
back acoustic set in the afternoon drinks reception to the upbeat sets in the evening when you had everyone dancing. I had
high expectations but you exceeded those. Our wedding day was amazing and your performance contributed to that a great deal.
Thank you so much.
The song
for the first dance was totally memorable – performed perfectly. I am so glad you were able to learn it for us. Singing
a duet with my best man, allowing my wife and her brother sing Hey Jude, and my brother-in-law to sing numerous Oasis songs
with you at the end of the night was all amazing. Your song choices were perfect. I was a little worried that some of the guests may not appreciate the large “indie”
content in your repertoire but you mixed it up brilliantly so that everyone was always keen to listen and dance.
My sister called the other day and said the only music she is playing at the moment is from your website –
she loves the same music as me and thinks you were absolutely brilliant! If you ever decide to make a cd of some of your songs
let me know as I am sure plenty of people would like to buy one! We
cannot thank you enough and hope we are able to see you perform again. It would be great to be kept up to date if you are
performing publicly, either in London or out further West! Many thanks again for playing such an important part
in what was a truly memorable day."
Matt & Lucinda Taylor, Wedding at
'The Bay Tree Hotel', Burford, Cotswolds. January 2010
"Hi Jamie. Many thanks for a superb night of music on Saturday in memory of my dear best friend Terry. Your
performance was excellent and was appreciated by all the different aged groups there. Your choice and balance of
music was first class and people even phoned me on Sunday to congratulate me for the arrangements and asking for your
contact details for future reference. They all thought your performance and singing was excellent and it was
a shame you had to finish at 12 midnight. Terry's close family also thought you were superb and very professional
and loved your voice.
I will definitely call upon you again for my next live music party and will definitely recommend
you to my friends, family and work colleagues. My only criticism would be that you don't support the best football
team in England, the mighty 'Gooners'.
All the best and look forward to seeing you perform again soon. Keep
in touch and let us know if you are performing again over in Berkshire at an event we can come to." Les
and Jackie Carey, Remberance Party at 'The Sand Martins', Woking, Berkshire. January 2010
"Thank you so much for making the party
so brilliant on Saturday - everyone said how much they enjoyed your singing and playing and you were able to create the perfect
atmosphere from start to finish. Lots of positive comments about the music. It was fantastic to have everyone up
dancing and singing and you definately have a talent for getting the 'feel' of the people in the room. Thanks also
for your patience at the planning stage and for taking the time to listen to what we wanted. I have no hesitatiion in
recommending you to all my friends and family. Thanks again for an amazing night - please let me know if you are playing
in this area. Take care and thanks again." Anna and Kellie, 40th Birthday Party at 'The Blue Boar', Maldon,
Essex. January 2010
"We couldn't have
been more happy with the way everything went on the day, everybody loved you and it was exactly what we wanted. We knew
everybody would get up and dance and it was lovely to see everyone enjoying you. Loved that you were able to work with the
DJ and coming in together. You seemed to take on board the crowd that you had and sang the songs you thought would work
- and it did!! Hope you enjoyed the night and hope to come and watch you again soon!!"
Gina and
Paul Greenaway, Wedding at 'Theobolds Park Hotel', Cheshunt, Herts. December 2009
"Scott and I just wanted to drop you a note to thank you for the fantastic entertainment that you provided on Saturday
night. Our day was filled with fun and laughter and the atmosphere at the reception was fantastic, it was lovely to look
around the room and see everyone singing along. The mix of songs that you sang was just right and I can't thank you
enough for the Take That and Bon Jovi! Once I get the official photo's through I will send some of them on to you.
Thank you once again." Emma and Scott Spindler, Wedding at 'The Alma', Wandsworth,
London. December 2009
"Thankyou
so much for learning so many new songs. We thought your music was amazing and so many guests really enjoyed listening
to you. All our love." Alistair and Julia Cobb, Wedding at 'The Reid Rooms', Margaret Roding,
Essex. November 2009
"Just a quick
message to say thank you very much for Saturday night. Everybody was very impressed with you and had a great evening. Very
positive feedback from all. If you're playing anywhere local please let me know so I can come down and
watch and if you can rememebr the second song I murdered, I'll love to know what it was as I can't remember. Cheers."
Phil Pennack, (Wife's) 40th Birthday Party at 'The Alma',
Chelmsford, Essex. November 2009
"Hi Jamie. Just wanted to
write a quick note to say thank you for making my mums 60th one to remember. Guests have been calling to thank us for
organising such a memorable and enjoyable party, and much of the success is due to the great mix of music that was covered
during our event by you to suit all ages and tastes. I will of course recommend you to friends and family, and thank
you once again." Rob Fox, 60th Birthday Party, Chelmsford, Essex. October 2009
"Matt and I just wanted to say how fantastic it was to have you playing at our wedding on 26th September. The
day was absoloutely perfect and your music fitted the occasion brilliantly. We've had so many comments from friends
and family about how great you were - we expect to see you at all of our friend's weddings! Thanks again."
Alex and Matt Enston, Wedding, Hever, Kent. September
2009
"Jamie
McGuire - a top chap and musician. Great live music and entertainment, especially for lovers of guitar music from Beatles,
Elvis to Radiohead, Oasis and Kings of Leon. Jamie was very professional in his setup and organisation for the night. This
really helped take the pressure of my wedding day and it was really special to have the First Dance played live just for me
and my wife. Very recommended." Robert Craske, Wedding
at 'The Ramada Hotel', Birmingham. September 2009
"Hi Jamie. Just wanted to say thank you for such a great performance on Saturday night (and i'm
not talking about my singing!). Everyone commented on how great it was to have live music and more specifically, how
good you were. Martyn and I really enjoyed it and would recommend you to anyone who was afer a live act for an event.
I hope I didn't scare you too much with my amazing voice?! Presumably you have been busy organising our world tour... Thank
you again." Catriona Russell, 'Catfest'
Summer Party, Leighton Buzzard, Beds. August 2009
"Hi
Jamie, I just have to write to you to tell you how brilliant you were on Saturday! Everyone thought you were outstanding and
several people asked for your contact details! You made our party such fun and it was great having you there joining
in! Thanks so much, I am now thinking up another reason to book
you again!" Catherine Jenkinson, 30th Birthday Party, Southrop, Gloucs. July 2009 "I was concerned to start that
Jamie would not be able to get the party swinging as we had such a wide age range. "WRONG" no such problem, everybody
commented on his great performance and the way he is able to play that guitar with no backing music was incredible. We
had a fantastic night and big thanks to Jamie. Good luck in the future mate!!!!" John
Saxton, 47th Birthday (Garden) Party, Windsor, Slough. June 2009
"I know it's taken a while to do this but I would like to say
a great big thankyou for attending our wedding reception on the 9th May 2009 at the Talbooth.
You were
excellent and everyone thoroughly enjoyed the music you provided - especially claire and emma! I would personally
like to say thankyou for getting hold of the live version of One Day Like This for our 1st dance. Although
it was a lovely day and most of our guests were outside we all thought you were excellent and everyone commented on how good
you were and what a range of music you provided. You played most of the songs that were requested and if you didn't
know them quite so well you still tried (Jamie singing suspicious minds with you was great by the way!). I would not
hesitate to recommend you to anyone who was looking for live entertainment and I wish you all the success in your career. Best wishes and Big thankyou's again." Vicky
Everett, Wedding at 'The Talbooth', Colchester, Essex. May 2009 "Jamie was exactly what I expected. Arrive
on time, friendly, great talent and received LOADS of compliments through the night! If I need to do it again, I will do exactly
the same! 10 on your scale." Madelein Odendal, 40th Birthday at 'The Headley',Brentwood, Essex. May 2009 "We would just like to say a massive
thank you for playing at our wedding reception in March. We thought you were fabulous. We are so grateful to you
for taking the trouble to learn our 'first dance' at such short notice - you did a superb version. Since the
wedding all our guests have been complimenting you. The music that you played and the way you played it really got everyone
going and it was great to see so many people dancing the night away. We would have no hesitation in booking
you again should we ever have a party to organise. Similarly we would have no hesitation in recommending you to anyone
looking to book you in the future. Thanks again for helping us make our day so perfect and special." Rachel
& Simon Cushing, Wedding at 'The Swan', Southwold, Suffolk. March 2009 "As I think most of the wedding party told you through the night, your performance,
song choice and the atmosphere created was fantastic. Both of us are huge music fans and we we’re delighted to
hear some of the new tunes you’d learnt, kicking off with the Kings of Leon set the tone for the rest of the night! Everyone
commented how the music was like no other wedding they’d been to and it made the reception just the kind of fun, energetic
and memorable evening we hoped for – I don’t think we’ve ever danced so much and for so long! We wanted
an upbeat atmosphere for the reception and this was assured with the quality of performance and the song choice that suited
everyone’s taste. No one could believe it was just you up there on your own - it felt like a whole band was in the room! We
knew we’d made the right choice even before you performed and since the wedding everyone has kept talking about the
music it went down so well. Again, thanks for making it such a great night,
I’ve had a number of guests asking or your details for upcoming parties and events so I’ve happily passed these
on. We’re both keen to come to another gig in the future, so please let us know when you’re playing in the
area."
Gavin & Kim Dobson,
Wedding at 'The Oakhouse', Maldon, Essex. April 2009
"Hi Jamie, just wanted to say thanks so much for playing at our wedding (ceremony and drinks reception)
on 28th March. It was everything we hoped it would be & we've had loads of comments about how good you were.

up for it!" Nikki
Ribbands, Wedding at 'Bawdsey Manor', Bawdsey, Suffolk. March 2009
"Hi Jamie, I hope you're well. I just wanted to send you a quick email to thank
you for your amazing music on Friday night. You truely made the proposal so special and we will always remember you when we think of that night! I have
just listened to your song 'Happy' again and it really is a beautiful song.
Thank you so much again, and best of luck with everything." Meera Thakrar (Future
Mrs Mitesh Popat), Proposal at 'Kings College', London. March 2009
"Thank you so much for making our wedding day evening go with a swing. Everyone had a great time and really
appreciated your fantastic performance. I didn't think that you were ever going to be able to get off the stage. Some
of our guests were getting quite attached to you, even after the fourth encore! "
Juliette Cottam, Wedding at 'The Eight Bells', Long Crendon, Oxfordshire. December 2008

Jamie, just wanted write and thank you for playing at our wedding ceremony and drinks reception. You played all the music

loved the Oasis afterwards!"
Ginette Egan, Wedding at 'The Lawn', Rochford, Essex. October 2008

in recommending you to all my friends and family. Thanks once again."
Betty Anderton , 60th

and hope that I ask you back for the next one, which I most certainly will do."
Julie Ladell, Birthday Party, Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk. July 2008
"Jamie
was excellent throughout, superb selection of songs and everyone commented
on how good he was! Quality, showmanship and a great set list."
Adrian
Stout, Wedding at 'The King of Hearts', Norwich. June 2008
"For anyone reading this, if you are considering hiring Jamie for a special event, then we
highly recommend him.
We hired Jamie for our wedding reception and the guests haven't stopped talking about how great
he was.
Our wedding was small with 40 guests and we wanted a live singer for the evening so guests could either sit there
and enjoy the music / sing along or dance if they wanted to. The age range of our guests was from 30s to 60s and the music
Jamie sang met everyone's taste by singing popular songs everyone would know (and not the tacky ones like you get with
DJs). Jamie arrived well before he was due to start. We hired Jamie from 8pm till midnight and during his break he arranged
for music to be played, which was one less thing we had to worry about.
Jamie is very professional at the event and in
the preparation before the event. To be honest I had never hired a live singer before and Jamie's professionalism in understanding
our requirements was excellent. Jamie provided us with a list of songs for us to review in case we wanted to add or remove
any. We didn't remove any songs but added songs we liked which Jamie learnt for us.
One of the songs he sang for
us was our 'first dance', which made it very special.
Jamie also went to the venue well in advance of the wedding to check where he would be setting up and liaised direct
with the venue manager on our behalf. Jamie then confirmed to us how he was going to set-up his equipment with timings and
ensured it was ok with us (which it was). Jamie set up all his equipment before our guests arrived for the pre-reception at
2:30pm. So when he arrived at 8pm he wouldn't need to interrupt in setting up his equipment, yet everything was ready
for when he arrived.
I can assure you any questions you have about what Jamie will be doing at your event (however silly
of a question as I did have some) he will answer and meet your requirements.
If you do decide to hire Jamie then I am
sure you will receive the same
excellent service in the preparations and on the day as we did.
I have already given
Jamie's number to family and friends and we would defiantly hire him again. Thank you again
Jamie for helping us making our day special."
