Wouldn't hesitate to recommend

Leigh did an absolutely incredible job playing music throughout our ceremony, for the drinks reception, and he also played a very special version of our first dance before we swapped over to a playlist. He really made the day, playing songs my now husband and I had carefully selected for the really special and meaningful moments of the day. His version of both the song I walked down the aisle to, and our first dance song were second to none and I really wish we had recordings of his versions - they were ace.
Leigh was easy to contact and work with ahead of the day, and was not one of those suppliers we felt we needed to worry about on the day. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend him for your special day.

Highly recommended!

We were beyond thrilled with our wedding singer Leigh! From the moment we first contacted him, his professionalism and passion for music shone through. Leigh truly made our ceremony and reception unforgettable with their incredible voice and ability to read the room. Every song was performed beautifully, and his mashups were fabulous, which made it even more personal. Our guests couldn't stop raving about how amazing the music was! If you're looking for someone who can bring a personal touch to your wedding, we highly recommend Leigh. Thank you for helping to create such a magical atmosphere on our special day!

An exceptional singer and musician

Leigh played throughout our Wedding Breakfast inside and again outside on the stage during golden hour at sunset. He is an exceptionally skilled acoustic guitarist and singer; so much so that it’s like you have various band members on stage! He sets the tone for the occasion perfectly and is also very friendly, efficient and professional. We couldn’t recommend him more!

Absolute Perfection

Leigh’s talents are just phenomenal. We have now had the absolute pleasure of listening to Leigh at The Newt where I proposed to my husband, then he played at our legal wedding lunch in Bath and then we were super lucky for him to play again at our big wedding last weekend in June! He even surprised me doing a duet with my husband. Unreal and so memorable.
Leigh elevated our weddings in Bath & Somerset. We are so grateful and we can guarantee that you will NOT be disappointed if you choose Leigh for your special day.

Utterly wonderful!!

Leigh was just amazing! So professional and without him our wedding would definitely not been as much fun! The funky tunes definitely got the party going! He learnt ‘our song’ so we could have a first dance which was very special. We would whole heartedly recommend him.

Saleem and Nia’s wedding Feb 2024

Leigh is a brilliant musician. He stole the show at our wedding. He played 3 sets, one as guests arrived, during our ceremony and for evening guest arrival. Leigh learnt a song for our ceremony and it was spectacular, a moment I will never forget. Leigh is easy to get on with, replies in a timely fashion and most of all, he is such a nice person. 10/10 and would highly recommend.

Leigh is superb and made the evening!

Leigh was incredible and made my Mum’s 60th celebrations! He was able to sing a variety of songs from chilled (whilst we ate) to party upbeat which really got the party going. We danced the night away and cannot wait to invite Leigh to sing again! I would highly recommend and can guarantee you’ll have a wonderful experience from start to finish.

We cannot thank you enough Leigh, from the entire family!

Above and beyond, talented and lovely

Leigh honestly is the most incredible musician - weddings are only made the better for his involvement but if you stop and take a moment to really listen, he is putting his heart and soul into your day as much as you are. He made our day, he went places with our requests he’d never been before and he just got us

Leigh’s music & voice was most beautiful addition to our day

After being let down by a previous vendor, Leigh was recommended to us by a friend. From start to finish our interactions with Leigh were wonderful. He is a lovely, warm human being who will be so invested in your day and in achieving the atmosphere you want. We had SO many people compliment us on the music throughout the ceremony and reception, Leigh’s voice is pure magic and it truly created the exact vibe we wanted. I could not recommend Leigh enough.

Incredible voice, great entertainment!

Leigh performed at our wedding and made the entire day! The guests, even now, keep commenting on his amazing, soulful voice and the great selection of songs he performed! He even learned a few songs for us to sing us down the aisle/out to the confetti throw! Highly recommend!
