Jeremy was amazing! He happily tailored a package for everything we were looking for including music for walking down the aisle, drinks reception, bagpipes and our first dance. Jeremy learned music especially for us and seemed to know exactly what our guests were looking for. There was something for everyone. Thankyou for being part of our magical night, Stephen & Amy x

Ed was amazing from start to finish for our wedding party! In the lead up he was super friendly, quick to respond and flexible so made the whole process really straightforward. On the night he was awesome - bang on time, professional and the dance floor was full. Everyone has been saying how great the party was which Ed played a huge part in. Couldn't recommend him more :)

We delivered next level parties for exceptional companies

We also did more than 40,000 birthday parties. Probably, including your neighbour’s recent big bash.
