Thank you so much for your amazing performance

We just wanted to say a huge thank you to you for your amazing performance at our wedding last weekend; our guests and us had a brilliant night and so much fun! Lots of our guests have commented on what a brilliant time they had and how blown away they were with your vocals. There was a real party atmosphere all night and finishing our day with Sky Full of Stars followed by The Lighthouse Family could not have been a better way to end. We are so glad that we met you on the one day at Aston Marina and delighted that you played such an important role in our special day. Thank you so much for your amazing performance. We are so grateful to you and we hope to hear you perform again very soon.

You're really missing out if you don't have him at

Wow..... James is just amazing. Everyone at our wedding commented on what a great variety of music he was playing/singing. He was able to fill the dance floor and keep us going despite the ache from shoes and tiredness!!! In the run up to the wedding James was very understanding and patience. Despite giving him 2 songs a week before that we wanted singing (Coldplay - something just like this and George Ezra - paradise, I did feel a bit mean about the last one) he sung both of them no problem at all for us. We owe a special thank you to James & his support crew (aka Dad James) for going out of your way in the evening and making our day so special! Not only that James also made us a cute highlights video which is just amazing so man of many talents!!! You're really missing out if you don't have him at your event!!!!

"OH WOW his voice it's unbelievable"

James did all the entertainment for us not long ago on the 7th July 2017. I do know him and his family well but that's not the point, I don't do bias - just the truth. OH WOW his voice it's unbelievable. I wanted him to sing Nadine, as my name is Nadine, by Chuck Berry when I made my way down the aisle. Sorry Chuck but Jamie really did sing it better and it made me cry just before I went in. That song has always been special to me as my parents bought it when I was 4 years old it's sentimental That beautiful powerful voice WOW and WOW even doing the DJ bit at night he sang old songs and new. I think I like James Uptown Funk better than the original. His eclectic taste in music blends with everyone he mixes it up his voice then CDs his arrangements were spot on. He's friendly, warm, welcoming and all the things you need at your wedding, I am very very proud of him. Five stars just isn't enough he made my whole wedding day unforgettable Thank you James xxxx

We were blown away with his service in the day

Wow wow wow, what can we say? We first met James over 4 years ago at a wedding fair long before we were engaged, but as soon as we heard him song the 1st song, we both knew straight away we would book James for our special day. He was in fact the 1st supplier we asked about availability and with James and our photographer we would have moved dates if they were not available. From the start James was so professional yet so warm, friendly and approachable. Communication was brilliant all the way through. James feels like a friend to us and not a supplier. We were blown away with his service in the day, he was perfect in every single way. guests loved him. We will definitely book you again James for our next party - you made our day perfect in more ways than one!!! Thank you, Sarah and Andrew McNicholas xxx
