AI Summary Review Summary
This is an AI generated summary of this supplier's rating and feedback.
Couples who book Nick Read Entertainment consistently describe an unforgettable, seamless end-to-end music experience—often with praise for his stunning live vocals, smooth transition from ceremony/acoustic sets to DJ and MC duties, and an effortless ability to “read the room.” Reviews highlight his responsive, reassuring communication during planning, practical guidance on song selection, and a calm, professional presence on the day (including arriving early and checking in regularly). Many guests mention that his singing is a standout moment they still talk about, while his crowd-pleasing playlists keep the dance floor alive from start to finish.

Nick was the perfect addition to our wedding day. The 2-3hrs of live music was outstanding and matched the environment we were hoping to provide for our guests throughout the afternoon. Nick's performance of our first dance song was flawless and allowed us to dance without any anxiety. The DJ set featured the music we wanted and importantly, Nick is able to read the dance floor well to ensure everybody has a good time. Thank you so much!

Nick was amazing! He was so accomodating to our requests and was genuinely interested in making the night exactly what we wanted. Cannot fault him - from singing acoustically at our wedding reception to DJ’ing the night away, we cannot recommend him enough. Thanks again Nick, we didn’t leave the dance floor all night. Best day ever!

How long should we have a sax player for at our wedding reception?

I want to have a sax player at my wedding reception but I'm not sure how long they should play for - any suggestions?

Nick Read

Standard set would be have them play during your bridal entrance and then jump on two DJ sets at the end when it comes to dance time. Otherwise if it's a band, they'll generally go in and out of band sets.

How to really experience a wedding band/DJ before booking

Hi there. Can we come and listen to a band or DJ at another wedding or event before we decide to book?

Nick Read

  • Watch them live prior either at pub/club gigs if they perform outside of weddings.
  • Get a video chat or coffee meeting prior to booking to see if they are a good fit
  • Get all your points on pen and paper prior to cover all your questions and points of concern
  • Ask about set list flexibility, the music selections process (if they have one) and how much input you get
