Now, I, personally, never pay any attention to testimonials on websites, as they could be completely made up and, honestly, are people really influenced by them? It turns out they are, so reluctantly, I'm featuring, on this page, some of the nice things people have written in some of the thank you cards I've been sent over the years. I've quoted them as they were written, although I have to confess to correcting some of the grammar on one or two. I'm sorry, I just can't help myself.

 

"Dear Alex,
What can Vicki and I say about your performances and contribution to our wedding last Thursday - we were so pleased with the music that you played and the variety and choice that fitted in perfectly with the tone of the day at its various times. So many of our guests commented on your performances wanting to know where you were from...

Both Vicki and I thoroughly enjoyed the day and your contribution added so much to our enjoyment.

Once again, thank you so much - please feel free to use our comments in your website or any publicity as we feel you would benefit any function enormously."
Vicki & John

"Dear Alex,
Thank you very much for helping to make Chloe and Ross' wedding day so happy and successful. We all had a wonderful day and much appreciated all your talented entertainment."
Bridget & Paul (parents of the bride)

 

"Dear Alex,
Thank you very much for performing at our wedding celebration. It was a fantastic day. We have had countless comments from guests about how much they enjoyed your performance. Thanks for making it such a great day."
Sue & Jon

"Dear Alex,
Thanks to you & Tom for playing at our wedding on the 18th July - you were great - got my Mum & Dad on the dance floor voluntarily! That's a first! We had a great day & your were a significant part of that..."
Sue & Ric

"Dear Alex,
Thank you so very much for being such an important part of our wedding day. The song during the ceremony was perfect and so was Dusty Sahara - I think the packed dance-floor, the rave reviews and the trashed wedding dress are testament to that."
Sarah & Dustin

"To Alex,
...thank you from the bottom of our hearts for the absolute magic you added to our special day. What you added to our wedding was far more than I could ever have imagined and I think I'm going to run out of words to express how amazing you were..."
Jo & David

 

"Hi Alex,

As you could tell, everyone had an amazing time & as I said to you on the night, so many people commented on how fantastic you were.

"Hi Alex

Just to thank you for making our special day extra special.
You were highly spoken about the entire day and well after you left... We have passed your details on to many interested guests.

We are expecting a repair bill for a new microphone for you after Bryns little 'sets' and sorry if my 'awhimaways' were off key!

Thank you also for involving Connor+his Spongebob state of the art guitar.... (U were jealous weren't u?!)

Take care.

"Hi Alex!!
 
Hope you are well, we have just got back from honeymoon in the lovely Swaledale. Sorry not to have been in touch before now however the cottage had no signal and no internet, bliss!!!
 
We had such an amazing wedding day. Thank you so much for the fab evening, you were absolutely fantastic. Everyone is still talking about you, you obviously made quite an impression on Cumbria.
 
I hope you enjoyed a bit more of Keswick on Sunday (hope it wasn't to wet) and you got back home safely.
 
Thanks again for making the day you were seriously brilliant and you wore the hat, amazing!!!
 
I am fully expecting you to be making a few trips to the Lakes with the number of people who have been asking about you so let us know when you are up in the area (sheffield or the lakes) it would be great to see you again.
 
Lots of love and thanks
 
Alice and James"

 

 

"Hi Alex,

We just wanted to drop you a proper email now that we're back from our honeymoon.

The day was everything that we hoped it would be. Everybody enjoyed themselves immensely all throughout the day.

We've had so many comments about you. Everybody was impressed at your music throughout the day, from the relaxing music before the ceremony to you playing Anita down the aisle and the relaxing garden music. In the evening, I'm not sure how you did it but I think anybody listening outside would have thought we had a full band in there!
I think the amount of people dancing spoke for itself really and just led to a great atmosphere.

Better than Glastonbury.

Andy and Anita"

"Hi Alex,
 
We just want to say a HUGE thank you to you for making our day SO incredible! I know everyone probably says this, but it really was the most wonderful day of our lives and we just want to do it all over again!
 
All (and I do mean ALL) of our friends and family have just sung your praises so much......your music, from the beautiful and tranquil start, through to the boys v girls sing off and bride v groom break dance off (?!), was more than we could ever have wished for! A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!!!!!
 
We are definitely going make sure we get to see you play again before we head off to California!
 
Thank you again so much for for making our wedding day the most wonderful start in our lives together!
