Testimonials

Our wedding ceremony and drinks/canapés were unforgettable thanks to Manning’s live music. He was incredibly easy to communicate with in the lead up to the big day (especially as the first wedding was cancelled due to COVID!), brought all of his own equipment, and learned/performed our selected song requests without any hesitation. Talented, flexible, affordable, self-sufficient…tick, tick, tick, tick! An absolute highlight of our big day – we can’t thank him enough!

He was a wonderful addition to our wedding and everything we wanted. We couldn’t have found a better entertainer for our wedding if we tried! He performs like a dream and we have received so many compliments about him! Thank you all so much for adding such a beautiful aspect to our day.
