An Amazing Day of Live Music

To start, I know I will not be able to put adequately into words how much it meant having Joe (and later Tom) be part of our day.

Joe made us feel at ease and in safe hands from initial booking all the way through to the day itself, an even more impressive feat given we were organizing our UK wedding celebration from the US where we live and relied on email and zoom. His genuine excitement and passion for what he does shone through every interaction. Extremely personable and showed a huge interest in getting to know us as a couple and our vision for the day.

On the day itself, he played note perfect. Before and during the ceremony he knew instinctively how long to play when it came to walking down the aisle, certificate signing, etc despite not having timings in advance. Joe accommodated a last minute (and fairly bizarre) song request for the day and smashed it. It's probably one of the most talked about moments from our celebration.

In the evening, Joe and Tom put on the best party. Our wedding was intimate and child-friendly by design and they instinctively knew how to adapt the playlist to the crowd. You could tell they were genuinely having the same great time playing that we were having listening and dancing.

I cannot thank Joe enough, both for being the soundtrack to accompany all the big and small moments throughout the day and then becoming center stage in the evening with Tom.

If you want live music but aren't sure how it will fit in with your day, you could not reach out to a safer pair of hands then Joe Bailey. Thank you for making our day perfect!

One of the best things we booked!

We booked Joe to sing at our ceremony, drinks reception and wedding breakfast and we couldn’t have made a better decision! Having live music really added something special to the day and it was great to listen to as we sat down for the meal and could actually enjoy it and take it all in. If you’re looking for a wedding singer, definitely book Joe!

Fantastic music, all night long

Joe played at our reception in a small local pub, at the beginning of June 2022, he was extremely accommodating after having to reschedule twice before due to COVID and nothing was too much trouble. The dance floor was full all night (exactly what you want from him!). The list of songs that Joe can play is incredible and we were truly spoilt for choice. We had everyone raving about him on the night and after the wedding, which is an amazing credit to Joe and his service. We couldn’t have asked for any better.

Had a lot of people ask me for his number for their events.

Joe said to give him a list a few songs we would love him to hear on our wedding day. We spent a great morning listening and writing him a list, this turned out to be 70 songs. He is a real trupper and said he would have to learn a lot of them for us. I said ok try your best.
All throughout dinner he played for us, and people were really surprised by how diverse his song choices were and we really appreciated that he tried and had pulled through for us on our day. We couldn’t ask for more.
Thanks Joe and I’ve passed your details on for you. Xx

Amazing, brilliant, highly recommend!

Joe played at our wedding in November 2022 and nothing was too much trouble. He was helpful from the start and responsive to my queries. He is an amazing singer, he provided first class live music for our drinks reception, first dance, father daughter dance and into the evening. He was fun to have around on the day and everyone loved him. I 100% recommend him and would book him again in a second. You won't be disappointed.

Joe was the best addition to our wedding!

We can’t recommend Joe enough. He played a wonderful outside afternoon set and then two sets for our evening disco and DJing the playlist we requested. He learnt four songs for us too, which made it even more special. I would choose him again for our next event in an instant! He was also great when we had to move our wedding date due to Covid. Very professional and friendly! He even learnt David Brent’s Freelove Freeway which was fab and our friends loved! Lauren & Matt

Excellent singer

We had Joe for our wedding in August 2019. He was excellent, super chill (zero impact) set up. Great singer, great song collection. DJ set after was on point. An excellent addition to the day.

Fantastic wedding entertainment

Joe was amazing from start to finish! We are wedding photographers/videographers (C&K Studios) and met Joe as a fellow supplier at another wedding. He was so approachable and friendly and most importantly an amazing performer! As for the day itself, not request was too much, and our guests all commented on how amazing he was! We loved having you at our special day! Thank you so much! Chris and Kelly x
