Wedding	"Hi Alan, just wanted to say a huge thank you for the incredible ceremony and reception drinks set that you kindly performed for us at the Mansion in July. Your videos were great but you completely blew us away on the day. Our guests still talk about how fantastic you were and I believe one of my bridesmaids has already booked you up for her wedding next year. We really can't thank you enough for adding such a sophisticated and yet comfortable atmosphere during our ceremony and reception drinks. Thank you!"
Wedding	"We booked Alan for our wedding as we wanted something different for our special day. Alan's professionalism from start to finish was spot on, great communication up front before the day and he was very flexible in the type and style of music he played depending on our preferences. Alan was a great asset on the day, arrived in plenty of time and his music was lovely. A lot of our guests commented on how good and lovely the guitarist was and it was a nice addition to the day - well worth paying for some live music instead of just playing it through another device. We would thoroughly recommend Alan."

Alan was professional he kept in regular contact and even sent us a preview of the song that myself and my bridal party walked down the aisle to. I would be sure to book Alan again for any future events. Thank you Alan you helped make our day truly magical."
Wedding	"Alan played at my wedding at The Granary at Fawsley in October. I found his videos on Facebook and decided to message him to book and I’m extremely glad I did. Within a week of booking Alan had learnt the song we had requested and sent us the audio file. We had to postpone original date due to covid but that was no issue and Alan extremely accommodating. We even extended hours we wanted him for within 2 weeks notice of the big day and he was fine with that too. On the day Alan entertained our guests on arrival and during the breakfast with a vast array of songs that were known to everyone My guests were really impressed and made multiple comments how good he was. He’s extremely skilled at what he does and we are grateful that he could make our day even more special."
Function	"Alan is an outstanding guitarist, so much so that we have now booked him twice. Each time he has surprised and delighted our guests and is certainly the ‘talk of the town’ each time. His playing is professional, familiar and we loved being able to choose our favourite songs from his extensive repertoire. Everyone couldn’t help but dance or sing along to his playing and quite honestly he is the perfect wedding entertainment. We are already thinking of what we can book him for next! Thank you again Alan for bringing the fun is such a classy way!"
Wedding	We just wanted to say a huge thank you again for playing at our wedding on Saturday! You were honestly incredible. Every single guest and supplier we hired came up to us at some point in the day to tell us how amazing you were playing. You are incredibly talented and made the atmosphere so romantic. Our first dance song that you played for us will stick with us forever and we are so grateful that you were able to pull another lovely song out for us on the spot so we could do a dance with our mother's. You were better than any DJ we could have hired and we wouldn't hesitate to recommend you.
Wedding	"I just wanted to say thank you so much for playing at our wedding. Walking down the aisle, while you were playing our favourite song was beautiful and made the day so special.

Your communication throughout the whole process was outstanding and we thoroughly enjoyed working with you. Your song selection is amazing and very hard to chose from as there are so many great songs that you play! I would highly recommend you for the future."
Wedding	"We would like to say a HUGE thank you to Alan for playing at our wedding in August 2021. We booked with him back in 2019 for our 2020 wedding. With the pandemic we had to push our wedding to 2021, Alan forever the professional had no problems with moving to our new date which we really appreciated. Alan even took time to arrive early to rehearse with my niece who was singing at our wedding with Alan accompanying her. All of our guests were incredibly complimentary of Alan’s talent. We were grateful for the range of songs covered as there was something in there for everyone. We would not hesitate to recommend Alan for any event, he was a fantastic addition to our wedding and was a pleasure to deal with throughout."
