What people say
"We booked Lloyd for our wedding day and he was fantastic! His ability to play with music of any genre on the fly was brilliant, especially with the range of music played at a wedding. Really good guy and set the tone for the evening perfectly. Would highly recommend."
C Reid, October 2021, Oldwalls, Gower
"Lloyd performed at a party we had in the summer, he was incredible. I booked Lloyd after seeing his fantastic performance at a friend's hen party (which too was brilliant). Lloyd already had two bookings that day, but managed to squeeze us in later that night. Everyone loved him, I would highly recommend and we absolutely will be booking again. Thank you so much Lloyd!"
K Gibbs, August 2021, Private house, South Wales
"We initially booked Lloyd for our wedding party after originally planning to get married abroad and then we changed to a UK wedding. It was no problem changing the date and Lloyd accepted all our song requests. Our intimate wedding ceremony would not have been the same without Lloyd and he then started the party in the evening which was equally amazing! He even let me sing a song with him which I will never forget. I can't wait to book him again in the future. He is amazing and a lovely person too!"
S Gregory, August 2021, Lemore Estate, Hereford
"I'm a true romantic and booked Lloyd to set the perfect scene to propose to my wife. I had a chosen a beautiful park, and Lloyd arrived before us to set up his sound system, then magically appeared with his saxophone, surprising and delighting my wife-to-be. Luckily, she said 'yes' and I'm sure Lloyd played a big part in making this happen!"
E Corzan, October 2021, Windsor
"When Chris and I got married in Gibraltar, we weren't sure how to go about planning the music and didn't want to take any risks with our big day. We were so glad we found Lloyd as he made the whole thing work for us. We booked his flights and accommodation, and Lloyd sorted all the musical and technical details. He absolutely wowed our guests and we will definitely book him again for all our other big celebrations!"
G Brain, August 2019, Gibraltar
"When my husband and I found out I was pregnant, we wanted to do something different, so booked Lloyd for a gender reveal party! None of my friends had done this before, so everyone was really excited. We'd given Lloyd the vital information a few days before, so when he arrived he got the party going with a couple of club classics, then played our favourite song to start the big reveal. During the middle of the song, all the lights on his sax turned blue and we knew we were having a llittle boy! So special."
