Wedding Breakfast - Everything and More!

5 stars - Stephen James are Highly Recommended
booked Stephen James for their Wedding February 2023

“Stephen was incredible, we booked him to play for our wedding breakfast and was brilliant. He accepted the booking even though he would be playing on his birthday, and even though our timings were off on the day he accommodated and still performed for the whole time. The set list he created was great, playing a diverse selection of pop and classics to a very high standard, with just the right volume to create ambiance but not overwhelm the room. I cannot recommend Stephen enough, his communication is prompt, dressed smartly to match the occasion and performed to a top standard.”
