“We booked Emily to perform at my 50th birthday party. She had been recommended by my caterer and having listened to some of her music on YouTube we felt that she was exactly what we wanted. She was a pleasure to deal with and was helpful and very accommodating of all my requirements. Her voice is totally stunning and there was no question that having live music added so much to the event. It was so special as she played all of my most favourite songs and all of my guests commented on how much Emily added to the overall event. I would not hesitate in booking her for any future event we might have.”

“Emily and Craig did an incredible job at performing for our wedding. They brought a great variety of tunes which met everyone’s taste and matched our venue perfectly. Everyone was dancing at the slow and quick numbers and said how great the band was. They were nothing but helpful and professional from the point of enquiring to the wedding. Thank you so much for everything, we can’t wait to come to one of your gigs! Tai & Matt xxx”

“We were in need of a pianist and singer for our wedding and found Emily online. After watching some of her videos and listening to her samples we quickly decided we would love her to perform for our ceremony and drinks reception. Emily’s communication was amazing throughout the booking process – she quickly responded to queries and was familiar with our venue so was able to offer friendly advice. Her voice is beautiful and so many of our guests commented on how talented she is! Her set up was completely seamless on the day and her performance really did make our wedding day feel extra special.”

“Thank you so much for playing at our wedding on the 25th July. You were spectacular!! Your voice is out of this world and you were so accommodating with a few of our favourite songs that you learnt before the big day. We instantly knew them as soon as you started singing and my husband has not stopped talking about your versions of ‘Wild Love’ and ‘Candy’. Thanks for everything.. we hope to have a party soon so we can have you sing again for us.”

“We booked Emily to play for Sunday brunch the day after our wedding. So many people commented on her beautiful voice and she was the perfect soundtrack to soothe a few sore heads that morning! She was delightful to deal with both in the lead up to our wedding and on the day itself. We would definitely recommend her”

” Emily and her band were a definite highlight of our wedding. Emily did two sets during the day during our welcome drinks and wedding breakfast and then we chose the trio band for the evening music. I cannot say enough how amazing it all was from start to finish. Emily was also hugely helpful in the lead up to the wedding by answering any questions I had and in reassuring me about the day, after having to postpone our wedding and navigate all of the Covid-related changes! Emily’s voice is just beautiful and her band members so talented. We’re already thinking about booking them again in the future! Everyone still keeps talking about the music and for that, we cannot thank them enough for being such a huge part of our day! Thank you again!! “

“After seeing Emily play at a church ceremony for our friends’ wedding we knew we had to have her… and wow she did not disappoint! The most perfect modern and melodic music. The most glowing feedback is how many of our guests approached us afterwards to say how amazing her voice and performance was. We could not recommend her highly enough!”

‘Emily made our wedding day that much more special with how beautifully she plays and sings. The first dance song she learnt for us was breath taking, I didn’t know what to expect but I was completely blown away with her interpretation of it. I would 100% recommend Emily, she is incredibly talented and makes all the songs her own style which sound so incredible. All of our guests were super impressed and enjoyed listening to her throughout the evening.Thank you so much!’

“We were not able to sing hymns at the Church due to COVID. Emily sang our 2 favourite hymns just beautifully and it worked so well. Emily also sang our two favourite songs in the Church when we were signing the register. I think the entire room went silent and had goosebumps; her voice was just stunning. Emily then came to our drinks reception and played and sang such a great selection of songs which suited the vibe in in the room just perfectly. She was such an addition to our wedding day.”

” Emily was incredible! We booked her quite late in the day for our wedding after she (luckily for us) had a cancellation on our day – and how pleased we were. Her voice is truly beautiful and she really made our wedding day complete. So many of our guests came to us and said how amazing she was and we both loved having her there – she created a wonderful, warm chilled out atmosphere and her playlist was spot on. She learnt an entrance song for the ceremony and our first dance in super quick time and both were just perfect. And beautiful singing aside, Emily is just a lovely person. An absolute pleasure to deal with both before the wedding and on the day – wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her! Thank you so much for coming and being a part of our celebration. “

Her voice is beautiful and she learnt songs especially for us 🥰 they all sounded beautiful, I wish I could listen on repeat. Our guests complimented us on Emily’s performance all day too, everyone was blown away with how good she is! Would 100% recommend to make your day extra special, do not hesitate!

Emily is a pleasure to work with. One of those rare artists that has both the talent and attitude to get the job done. A consummate musician with silky smooth vocals. Grab her before she becomes a superstar. `

Well what can I say? I booked Emily for my 50th on 11th Jan 2020 after seeing her play locally, we were so lucky to have been able to book her at short notice, one of the few bonuses of having a birthday in January!!
Her performance was outstanding, she is such a professional artist, an absolute pleasure to deal with, nothing too much trouble and I can’t tell you how many people have commented on her performance. It was, in a word, “outstanding”. We are now looking to book her again, Thanks so much Emily. Danny & Sarah xx

“I first saw Emily performing in Kingston upon Thames, and knew she was exactly what I wanted for my 40th birthday garden party later on in the year. Well Emily did not disappoint! She played exactly the genre of music I wanted, and so many of my guests told me during and after the party just how much they enjoyed her performing. Emily even learned a few songs for me which was amazing. I cannot wait to see and hear her again!”

I’ve known Emily for years since she was a young child 🙂 and watched her grow and develop into a very talented musician, singer and song writer with the most amazing voice.I was so pleased when Emily and Craig agreed to travel all the way from London to play at our Wedding at Culzean Castle, Scotland. It was the most amazing venue, perfect day with our closest friends and family and to have Emily and Craig sing was the icing on the cake. Emily has the most beautiful voice, she played solo for our ceremony and we handpicked the songs, she sang and played through the wedding breakfast and Craig and Emily played together at our evening reception. The music and her voice was stunning and set such a great atmosphere, all our guests were blown away and we all had the most perfect day. Emily sang “alicia keys, this girls is on fire” at my request as I walked in with my dad in his wheelchair – there was not a dry eye in the house. I can’t recommend Emily and Craig enough if you want a personalised special day. Thank you and hope to see you soon. Sue and Steve xxx

Having Emily sing at our Wedding on 20/7/19 was one of the best decisions we have ever made and we feel so lucky to have had her sing at the Church and Venue on our Special Day. Her voice is so unique and special and more than we could have wished for at our Wedding. She really created a wonderful atmosphere and so many of the guests commented on how wonderful she was and how beautiful she sounds. The Service we received was excellent and even though we had never met her before the big day, it felt like having a friend there. We cannot thank you enough, you definitely helped make the day Special for us and everyone there.(P.S. remember us when your famous! 😄)

The West Mill – 22nd September 2019
We found Emily after stumbling across her profile on Instagram; we knew straight away she would be perfect for our wedding ceremony and reception drinks, as her voice was truly perfect and beautiful. During the wedding ceremony, Emily played the piano and sung. It was the most amazing feeling to walk down the aisle to the song we had chosen which Emily had learnt and sung so perfectly for us.
Emily also played throughout our drinks reception. Guests, suppliers and staff all commented how talented Emily was and it created the perfect ambience for everyone to enjoy and relax.
We whole-heatedly would recommend Emily for any occasion! From the initial enquiry through to our wedding day, Emily was always super friendly and she definitely made our day super special.

We can’t thank Norford & White enough for being a part of our big day! Emily has such a beautiful voice that could capture any room, and created such a warm welcome for our guests and the evening performance got everyone up on their feet! Our guests were wowed by the music and could not praise it enough. Emily and Craig also kindly stayed and took care of the PA system for us after her set was finished so we could play our own playlist to end the night which was brill! We were blown away by the 5 special songs we picked for our day, including our first dance, they all mean something special to us and they were amazing! We can not recommend enough thank you so much for being the soundtrack to our special day we will be forever grateful.

Emily was our wonderful singer at our wedding last month, her voice is so beautiful and really make the whole ceremony so special. So many of our guests commented on how fantastic she was along with all of the staff at the venue. I can’t recommend Emily enough, having a live singer for our ceremony was one of our best choices for our big day. Good luck Emily, I have no doubt you will be a huge success with a voice like that ❣️

My family and I were fortunate to meet Emily in May 2018 when I arranged for her to sing at my Mum’s wedding as a surprise.
As it was my Mum and Step Dad’s first wedding anniversary this year, I asked Emily to record the 5 songs she sang at the wedding on a CD.
The service was fabulous- so friendly and professional. Emily very kindly wrapped the disc in a handmade case, which detailed the names of the songs and was also beautifully personalised for my Mum and Step Dad. The songs were professionally done, and they really do sound incredible. Emily also transferred the song files via email, so I have an electronic version too.
The CD is everything I hoped for and more. My Mum and Step Dad love the gift for their first anniversary, which now reminds them of the beautiful memories from their wedding day.

If you’re looking for something to wow your wedding guests, Emily is it! We booked Emily to sing and play piano for our wedding in Derby after stumbling across her website online and we are so glad we did!
She set the perfect mood for the whole day and both ourselves and our guests were in complete awe of her! We can’t thank you enough Emily, you made our day feel so special! Love Alex and Monica X.

It was an absolute pleasure and joy having Emily and Craig perform at our wedding. They were super flexible in terms of the schedule changes throughout the day and the songs they performed were beautiful. I loved the personal touch they provided in learning five songs of our choosing (and my daughter was really chuffed they played Ghostbusters!) Emily and Craig also took it in their stride when we changed the order of events and asked them to play our first dance song (something that wasn’t planned!) I whole-heartedly would recommend Emily for weddings, her involvement really helped make it a special day for my wife and myself.
