Anne-Marie & James, Bride & Groom just a quick note to say how pleased we were with Mike and his playing last Saturday at our daughter's wedding reception.
The weather was kind to us so we were able to have the drinks outside the marquee and it was a real delight to come out of the Church to hear Mike playing the classical guitar in the sunshine. His selection of music was excellent and just right for the occasion...many thanks Barbara (mother of a bride) Thank you so very much for playing so beautifully at our wedding on the 23rd. Everybody commented on how well you played and at what a special atmosphere your music gave to the ceremony. I am only sorry I wasn't in the room to hear more, but I really enjoyed the pieces you played during the signing of the register and especially appreciate you taking the time to learn Here Comes The Sun. It really wouldn't have been half as nice without you there and we are so pleased that you were! I very much hope that we will have the opportunity to hire you again in the future and until then send you all best wishes and many many thanks again. A bride Mike performed at our charity concert.
