    Just Exceptional

    Tom is professional, friendly and talented. He was so accommodating of any changes and delays that happened (both on the lead up to the wedding and on the day).
    We lost count of the number of times we were asked "Where did you find that musician?!" The music was perfect for our day, and we especially loved the use of the harmonica in some of the songs.

    We won't miss a beat in recommending Tom as a wedding musician.
    It was an absolute pleasure to have him involved in our special day.

    The perfect addition to our wedding day.

    Tom was the absolute perfect addition to our laid back, garden wedding and we can't thank him enough for the perfect vibe and beautiful sounds that he added to our day. His repertoire of songs is so extensive and there is plenty of choice for your perfect playlist - too much choice if anything (a good problem to have!). Tom learnt a special song for us and played it so beautifully.
    We will always look back on our day so fondly and Tom's music was a big factor in making our day all that we could have hoped for. All communication with Tom before the wedding, during and after the wedding has been lovely, very quick to respond to any queries and just an overall pleasure to deal with. We hope to see you again in the future :)
    Best wishes,
    Ellen & Oli x

    The cherry on top of our day!

    Tom was the musician for our ceremony & reception, and we couldn't have been more lucky to have him.
    In the build up to the wedding he was in touch regularly to let us know if he had updated his repertoire with anything we might like, as well as checking in on anything we might need. We loved having his Spotify Playlist and played non-stop to help us choose our favourite songs for the day, we also played it at our Day 2!
    Tom's flexibility & willingness to try any song led to some absolutely perfect moments on the day. His rendition of 'I Will' by The Beatles, which I walked down the aisle to, is now my favourite version and I'll never forget it.
    His closing song was 'Say A Little Prayer' which my husband & I got a private moment to dance to in the sunshine, it was unforgettable!
    Every one of our guests commented on Tom and how brilliant he was, I couldn't recommend him enough for any wedding - he has something for everyone!!!

    Excellent musician, lovely guy :)

    Tom was an absolute delight to have a part of our wedding experience from start to finish. From the moment of booking Tom sent us a list of his extensive repertoire for us to select which songs we would like to feature in our wedding day. We thoroughly enjoyed working through these and found it very difficult to whittle our choices down, everything we could have wanted was there! Added to that Tom took the effort to learn and beautifully perform three extra song choices for us.

    Tom's communication has been brilliant and thorough throughout, making the effort to have a zoom catch up prior and being just a generally really cool and lovely guy!

    All our guests commented on how excellent Toms music was and for us it certainly helped create the relaxed, happy, outdoorsy vibe we wanted for our day.

    We highly recommend Tom for your wedding day! :-)

    made our music dreams come true

    Tom was the best supplier we hired for our wedding (and we had 12). He was so flexible when I changed the playlist about 12 times. He learned multiple songs for free. He was so kind and played flawlessly. All of our guests were in awe. I was almost brought to tears because of how magical it was to hear all my favourite songs sung live. I cannot recommend him enough.

    Amazing - Tom is so talented

    Tom played and sang so so beautifully on our wedding day. He is such a lovely person and perfectly professional. I would hire him a hundred times over, he played during our ceremony with such authenticity and was a dream to collaborate with in the lead up.

    Brilliant! Highly recommended!

    Tom played during our ceremony and drinks reception and we couldn’t be happier. He really was one of the highlights of our wedding! So many of our guests commented on Tom’s amazing voice and beautiful playing and walking down the aisle to his acoustic version of Edward Sharpe’s Home is a memory neither of us will ever forget.

    Not only that, Tom was so lovely and helpful before the wedding day itself. The care he took to find out about us, learn so many of our song requests and create two really personal sets for us really did go above and beyond. He clearly worked so hard to make this extra special for us. Thank you Tom!

    Beautiful voice - he made our day so special!

    Tom played at our wedding in July and he was absolutely incredible. He was so helpful and friendly in the lead up to our big day and he really put us at ease and made us feel confident that we were in excellent hands! He has a beautiful voice and on the day, he was even better than our (already very high!) expectations. He played a huge part in making our wedding day so special. If you love music, we would definitely recommend hiring him.

    The best decision we made!

    Firstly, we would summarise our experience with Tom as perfect from start to finish. We’ve highlighted the reasons below but if you want a top line summary then there you go.

    Pre-wedding

    We found Tom on hitched, having trawled through countless websites trying to find the right singer. Music was a very important part of our day so we needed it to fit with what our vision for the day was.

    We were amazed at the depth of Tom’s repertoire, with an excellent selection of songs spanning multiple decades (50s through to 2020s). His package also offers some off repertoire songs too, so we actually found it hard to whittle it down if anything, with the selection available.

    Once we contacted Tom, he was quick to respond, offering a Zoom meeting or in person if we were close by. We discussed the logistics of the day and he was kind enough to help us with our ceremony structure (as he too had a humanist ceremony). This was incredibly helpful as we were constructing our own ceremony with a family member as a celebrant, so his help was reassuring and appreciated greatly. Shortly after our discussion, Tom sent us a spreadsheet to select our songs and requests, so that he could start to draw together a set list. He was accommodating with some challenging requests (walking down the aisle to Lovin’ you by Minnie Ripperton) and completely surpassed our expectations. You could tell throughout that Tom really wanted to get these right for us.

    In the weeks prior to the wedding, Tom showed a great deal of diligence, making sure that we had thought about certain logistical steps to make our woodland ceremony a success. There were certain things Tom brought to our attention that we wouldn’t have otherwise thought about. He was proactive in checking through the ceremony schedule to get timings right which was great in busy build up to the wedding. One less thing to worry about.

    On the day

    We chose Tom’s ceremony and reception package, from when guests took their seats through to the wedding feast. His music within the setting of our woodland wedding was simply beautiful. It set the tone for our day perfectly and made it feel even more special and personal, as he sang our favourite songs that he’d learnt for us. His voice is gorgeous and everyone was captivated as he played. After the ceremony, he played around 90mins throughout our canapé reception, creating an atmosphere that felt like a summer festival in the 70s!

    We can’t express how happy we were to have Tom play at our wedding. We knew he’d be totally perfect but he blew us away with his incredible voice, kindness and care. He embraced our vision and brought it to life and the music was a huge part of our day and a fantastic lasting memory.

    Thank you Tom!

    I would recommend him in a flash!

    Tom was not only lovely and very talented but was so committed to providing a really special and bespoke set of songs for our wedding day. He designed his playlist based on our preferences, even learning two of our favourite songs that he hadn’t heard before.

    His set was perfect for after the ceremony, providing beautiful entertainment for the guests and the perfect ambience between the ceremony and the meal.

    One of the highlights of the day for me was dancing with my friends during his rendition of my favourite Florence and the Machine song.

    I would recommend him in a flash!
