"The whole experience with Tom and his colleagues was great, with great communication front the start. We really appreciated that they had a bit of a journey to get to us, but they were punctual, and made a great positive impact on our day, providing a great classical and contemporary atmosphere to our wedding day - to greet the guest, play our entry and exit for the service, a nice interval set in the woodland gardens, before accompanying us through dinner. They really helped make the day extra special and we and all our guest left with memories of the day we will treasure. A huge thank you from Jason & David. "
