Music Reviews

Both Jenny and I are musicians and so choosing the right band was especially important to us. We also had some very particular requests and we knew those requests were far from easy choices. Rob wasn't phased at all. He was thoroughly professional and even willing to record one of our requests that needed to be learned first so we could hear in advance how it might sound in advance. He helped us choose the right combination of parts and we decided to go with a six piece band, which included male and female vocals, drums, lead and bass guitar, keyboard and Saxophone. Whilst you certainly can get by with a smaller band, we never once regretted opting for a full band As well as having the band play for 5 hours during the reception we also hired Rob and the female vocalist, Natalie Pearson to sing various numbers during the wedding ceremony. Natalie had to learn at least one new song, Katie Melua's Closest thing to Crazy and she had the guests mesmerised. Meanwhile at one point in the ceremony we had asked Rob to learn and sing Freddie Mercury's Time Waits for Nobody, an incredibly difficult song encompassing a phenomenal vocal range but Rob more than rose to the occasion. A number of guests even said to me they thought at first we were using a recording of Freddie! Rob was also very obliging when asked to help with other parts of the ceremony where recorded music was used. Rob took care of making sure the selected pieces were played through his sound system at an appropriate volume and started and finished at the right time. Rob is not only an excellent singer and highly experienced and professional band leader he is also an amazingly talented flamenco guitarist too and so we asked him to play solo during the Champagne and Canapes. This went down a storm and I have heard nothing but praise from every guest I have spoken to since. At least one guest was keen to take his card to hire him for a professional engagement. I can say that Elevation and all the musicians involved were simply outstanding and added immeasurably to our special day. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Elevation if you are serious about ensuring your event has the best music possible and available. Thank you so much to all the band members for their wonderful contribution to our wedding day.

James was the DJ for our wedding 05 April 2025. We had the absolute best time. The dancefloor was on fire all night, never a dull moment. Communication with James was effortless from the get-go. He had a very thorough questionnaire to make sure everything ran smoothly and we were able to get exactly what we wanted from the night. Despite us having out own family member as MC, James offered help and tips along the way to support this to ensure we had the best outcome. We are so pleased with how relaxed and perfect the night was! Thankyou so much James!

We couldn't have asked for a better DJ and MC for our wedding! Alex was not only professional and easy to work with, but he also brought an energy to the reception that kept everyone dancing all night long. Alex seamlessly guided us and our guests through all the important moments of our wedding day - from the ceremony, after ceremony drinks and the reception. Everything ran smoothly and he made sure every transition felt natural and fun. We provided a list of our favorite songs and a general vibe we were going for, and Alex blended it all together perfectly. Being Lebanese, we requested Alex to play Lebanese music during the night. He did this perfectly. Every one had a blast. We couldn't be happier with Alex, and we would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for a top-notch DJ and MC for their special day. Thank you for helping make our celebration so amazing! Michael and Rachel xx

We can't thank Sam & Andy enough for making our wedding day so amazing! The ceremony songs and acoustic background canapes music were perfect, and they seamlessly transitioned into dance floor mode and had all of our guests up dancing all night!

Simon from Nick Read Entertainment DJ’d our wedding ceremony, cocktail hour and reception. Music is so important to my husband and I, and we gave him a super specific brief. He absolutely nailed it. Our family and friends are a tough crowd, even my husband and I, we do not dance! But I especially found it hard to leave the dance floor and our guests raved on about how good the night was. There was always people on the dance floor. I have received so many compliments from our guests on Simon’s ability to really bring the party. Thank you for making our day so very special.
