A helpful and genuine presence

We both wanted to thank you for your amazing performance at our wedding in Notely Abbey. You were definitely the highlight of our day and all our guests were very impressed with your voice. Whilst we were running late, you never grumbled and managed to even sing a few extra tunes. I will never forget the ‘Thriller’ performance and everyone doing the dance. Thank you so much once again and will certainly be recommending you to our friends.
