Abby Webb via Facebook August 2017

"We booked Andy for our wedding in May 2017. He played before, during and after our ceremony. He was great! Such a great guy, a gentlemen and very professional. He was great with helping us decide our song choices during the ceremony (as we didn't have a clue!) and was very flexible to our needs. All of our guests couldn't speak highly enough about him and I would recommend him to anyone."
Alex Gall via Facebook May 2017

"Andy played at our ceremony and reception drinks on Saturday and it was fantastic. As soon as I heard the song we requested for my to walk down the aisle I was in tears. The music was such a beautiful mix and everyone told me how wonderful the music was. My friends were in tears to an acoustic version of Shake it Off! I would recommend Andy to anyone! His music would suit so many settings and was the perfect touch to our relaxed spring wedding."

All of guests were absolutely bowled over by the beautiful selection you gave us and your wonderful playing. We had comments all day long - it completely made our champagne reception for us and all our guests! The song we asked you to play for my entrance down the aisle really meant a lot to me and you played and arranged it so beautifully, will real sincerity. A few of the guests filmed my entrance and sent the video on to me and every time I have watched it I have been struck by how beautifully you played.

"We would like to thank you for being part of our day and making it truly special. Your music was just perfect for our wedding ceremony and drinks reception at River Cottage and we wouldn’t change anything. You were excellent and so easy to work with from start to finish - helping us plan what songs we should have during our ceremony, but also using your experience on the day to choose the songs that you thought would fit the moment. Our friends and family couldn’t stop saying how great you were and we completely agree!! We really can’t thank you enough!! To anyone thinking of booking Andy, we would highly recommend him - you won’t be disappointed! THANK YOU!"

"Booking was simple & straight forward. He arrived punctually, smartly dressed appropriate to the occasion and was easy to work with in setting up the performance locations. His flexibility throughout the event made the musical accompaniment a great bonus to the overall success of the party. As a more mature group (50-80 years!) his choice of programme fitted the bill perfectly. We were delighted with every aspect of Andy's involvement and thoroughly recommend him."

It was lovely to meet you and thanks again for bring part of our wonderful wedding day."

Catherine & Andrew Wallace, August 2015

"Andy was booked for a surprise birthday garden party at our house as background entertainment for around 40-50 guests. Andy turned up on time and was set up and ready to go when the guest of honour arrived and then for a couple of hours provided us with some beautiful, relaxing background music that allowed everybody to chat normally and that added perfectly to the feel of the afternoon. All our guests commented on how pleasant the mood he created was and we are already talking about other events that we might be able to book him for. Thoroughly worthwhile and definitely recommended."

"
Amy & Remi Andreoni, July 2015

"We booked Andy for our wedding and I'm so glad we did. Andy arrived with plenty of time to introduce himself, speak with the registrar and setup. We kept the majority of the day including the ceremony outdoors and the atmosphere Andy created with his playing during the ceremony and cocktail hour was beautiful. The song selections we made during the email exchanges prior to the day were all there, and we left everything else up to him, and he nailed it. I'm no stranger to the guitar and I can tell you Andy's ability is top drawer, flawless tone and his taste in music was perfect for the occasion and made leaving the setlist in his hands an easy decision, and one I was greatly rewarded for. A true gentleman and fantastic Musician."

Chris and Emma Sawyers, June 2015

"We booked Andy for our wedding purely from what we saw from his web-site and being intrigued with his style of music and repertoire. He fitted into the day seamlessly, helping to make it the perfect day we hoped for. Our guests loved his music in the church ceremony and later at the reception, we had so many comments from people asking who he was. Andy was also very helpful and responsive in the build up to the big day, learning a couple of special songs for us to play during the processional and recessional, Elbow and The Cure, and hearing Black Eyed Peas and Taylor Swift in classical style topped it off! Thanks again Andy."

Paul & Anita Marsh, June 2015

"We booked Andy to play at our wedding during the ceremony and after ceremony drinks and so glad we did. He was absolutely fantastic both in terms of booking but especially on the day. His music helped to create a romantic but relaxed atmosphere and he learned a beautiful version of one of our favourite songs to play during the signing of the register. His repertoire is so varied and he offered something completely different to other musicians we looked at. We were married at the Emirates stadium and his rendition of the Match of the Day theme tune as we walked back down the aisle went down a treat- the guests loved it and it started off an amazing day so perfectly."

Aisling Traynor & Matt Hodgson, June 2015

"Andy was absolutely fantastic at our Wedding. All of our guests commented on how wonderful he was and what an amazing variety of songs he played. We enjoyed every single minute of his performance and would highly recommend to others. Can't wait to have another reason to hire Andy again."
Jade Butt, June 2015

"Andy was nothing but a pleasure from start to finish. He is easy to communicate with and he made sure we were really happy with the songs we had planned together. His range of songs is fantastic and he mixes some real classics with more obscure songs, the choice is fantastic. He even learnt a song especially for my walk down the aisle. What a star!"
Nicola Jones, June 2015

"I just wanted to personally thank you for last Saturday. Everyone raved about how fantastic you were. We would love to find an excuse you get you to play for us all again."

Lynn Hiskey, June 2015

"Wow!!! Absolutely fantastic!! Andy played at the church for us and for the welcoming drinks and canapés!! He was a great touch. A great guitarist and very flexible with his repertoire!! Everyone said how good he was!! We would definitely recommend and will use him again in the future. Thank you so much Andy.....two satisfied customers!"

Fraser & Vicky Ogilvie, May 2015

"Andy played at our wedding which was a very small , intimate occasion. He was everything we had hoped for. He arrived and set up in plenty of time. Was friendly but professional and all our guests asked where we had found him. We would have no hesitation in recommending him to others."

David & Maureen Guild, May 2015

"Andy is fantastic! From the moment we contacted him about playing at our wedding, we felt in safe hands. Andy helped us work out the best timings for him to play, based on his experience (even though this meant him earning less money), and was really friendly and professional in his approach. On the day, Andy was a delight, arriving and setting up in good time and then playing beautifully during the drinks reception and after the meal. We received so many comments from our guests, many of them professional musicians themselves, about how great Andy was and, during the breaks he was friendly and chatty with guests who approached him. We highly recommend Andy."

Helen & Dan Caney, April 2015

"We booked Andy to play during our wedding dinner which was held in a small but rather intimate location. He is a total professional who instinctively was able to find the right balance - entertaining our guests without dominating. Andy really was the icing on the cake for a thoroughly memorable day. A very talented musician with a unique style and refreshing repertoire. Would highly recommend to anyone."
Robert Mills, March 2015

"We were so pleased that Andy performed at our wedding. He performed during our drinks reception and gave a wonderful atmosphere playing songs that people of all ages could recognise. Andy is friendly, professional and an excellent musician and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him!"

Sarah Cooper, January 2015

2014

"Andy was prompt was able to arrange himself and fitted in well without need for any additional requirements. He mingled with our guests and chatted with everyone. He was incredibly friendly and polite. We gave him free reign on what to play apart from songs during service. Had great comments about him and fitted in brilliantly and lots of positive comments about his playing. Would certainly recommend!"

Tim Atkinson, October 2014

"Andy was friendly and professional, his music really set the atmosphere for our wedding. He played everything from the wedding march to Michael Jackson! He was easy to book and made our surprise church wedding so special. Our guests kept coming up to us asking us about him. He was so lovely and came to thank us for having him when he had finished. A genuinely nice guy....... I want to book him again for an event, I just need a reason!!!"

Jemma & Daniel Procter, October 2014

"Andy was one of the most professional and friendly suppliers we dealt with in the run up to the wedding. His playing on the day was even better than we could of hoped for. His warmth, friendly manner and ease really set the tone of the day perfectly. I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending him and we are still receiving compliments from our guests."

Astrid Borman, September 2014

"Well presented and friendly to our guests, Andy made it a memorable service and the fact he didn't need a mains source was so helpful. He called us before the event so we could go over some last minute questions, he 'got' us as a couple and really tailored his music choices he played on the day - from the Wedding March to Michael Jackson - Andy really played to the crowd. Friendly and professional, his music really set the atmosphere for our wedding. Our guests kept coming up to us asking us about him. He was so lovely and came to thank us for having him when he had finished. A genuinely nice guy....... I want to book him again for an event, I just need a reason!!!"

Danny & Jemma Procter, October '14

"Our expectations were exceeded. All of our guests commented on how well he played. Brilliant and bravo! The short MP3's on the website are a good representation of the artist that we booked however in real life, the artist surpassed these. It was a real pleasure to meet Andy. A true gentleman. There are certain things that stand out on the day and hearing him in the Church playing whilst we signed the register is certainly one of them. Thank you Andy!"

Alison Fisher, August 2014

"Thank you for putting on a great performance at my sisters wedding yesterday, the music was incredible and really set the ambiance, made it truly special for us all with your talent. People probably don't recognise or value what you do as much as you need credit for, it really made the event have atmosphere and special"

Stephen Lee Brooker, August 2014

"An utmost professional who made our drinks reception at our wedding an upbeat and entertaining event. He even took the time to come and check that we were happy with his performance and we would highly recommend him."

Rebecca Edwards, August 2014

"Good performance, enjoyable, polite, presentable and likeable. Good quality sound and Andy pitched the level of volume just right throughout."
Hilary Young, August 2014

"Andy makes you feel relaxed, his music skills are great, his choice of music and his range is great. To perform in a small dome in the middle of field with his own power system and make wonderful music was brilliant. The feedback was brilliant, we all could listen to him all night. Andy was great and a big thank you to him."

Stephen Cane, August 2014

"Andy was top drawer, very professional and was prepared for any situation as the heavens opened on us a couple of times. A very nice person who went about his business with no fuss.

If you could thank Andy on our behalf and thank you also."

Lee Brooks, July 2014

Everyone loved the music he played and my children were impressed with some of his songs played on the guitar, such a talented young man. 10/10. We would use him again and recommend him to other people without doubt. Just sorry I didn't have time to chat to him and thank him at the end."

Suzanne Kench, June 2014

"Andy literally set the scene for our ceremony and wedding. He is such a talented artist I cannot express in words how highly I recommend him. He is punctual, extremely professional, clean, dapper, well presented. So communicative and thorough. I had my utmost trust in him and all of our guests said how unbelievable the music was. He used initiative when he had to (it rained at one point). Thank you so much Andy for making our wedding so special and perfect."

We had lots of people comment on how much they enjoyed your playing (the Indiana Jones theme tune was a particular hit!)."

Karen & Nick Hughes, April 2014

"While looking on the Internet for a solo guitarist to play at our wedding ceremony and drinks reception, we came across Andy Nash. We were very impressed with the reviews that Andy had already been left so felt confident to go ahead and book. Right from the start we can honestly say we were not disappointed. Andy replied to all our emails very quickly, and even gave us valuable advice as to what he could play during our ceremony. Everyone on the day commented on how good Andy was and that it bought a nice ambiance to the drinks reception. Andy arrived suited and booted, looked the part and blended in nicely with our guests. We can highly recommend him. Thank you for being part of our special day and for doing a great job."

Nigel & Sally Parr, April 2014

Ulrike Schlesinger, February 2014

Jenny Cotterill, December 2013

"Andy played at our wedding on 5th October 2013, he was already set up and playing when we arrived at the venue and played during our arrival drinks reception.

We would recommend Andy to anyone. Thank you so much for helping make our day so special."

Jerry Kinder, November 2012

"We were so so happy with Andy. He was presentable, professional, and very accommodating to my song request. On the wedding day, we had SO many of our friends and family commenting on how fantastic he was. He even had a few people dancing and singing to the songs since they recognised them. As mentioned before, we have a couple of friends getting married next year, who have already been in touch with me asking for his details so they can potentially book him too. Even after the wedding, Andy is a key factor of the wedding that people have complimented to us. So we are extremely happy that he was part of our big day!"
Sabina Ventriglia, October 2012

He really is extremely talented and I lost count of how many of our guests said how much they had enjoyed listening to him, my only regret is that we didnt book him for longer!! And he's a lovely guy to go with it. It was the exact sort of performance i had hoped it would be and we can't recommend him highly enough, we will definitely be booking him again some day in the future."

I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for non obtrusive acoustics for their wedding or similar."

His range of music was very impressive, I was very busy on the night, but heard everything from Mamas and the Papas to the Black Eyed Peas. His music was not intrusive, but a fantastic asset to a great party. I could not recommend him highly enough."
Joanna Knight, May 2012

"Just wanted to say how fantastic Andy was on Saturday - the weather was quite cold but he was set up outside to greet us and our guests to music and then moved inside whilst we all mingled. Lots of guests came up and said how different and lovely it was to arrive to an acoustic guitarist, my only negative is that we didnt get to hear more of him as we were having photos taken!"
Laura Barton-Taylor, May 2012

Hannah Brown, Aug 2011

"Andy was great. In advance he sent us a list of songs, and asked us to choose 5 we definitely wanted him to play, which was helpful. He arrived in plenty of time, and spent some time with us before playing to understand the sort of music we wanted, and he played great background music, without becoming the centre of attention, which given our relaxed occasion was exactly what we wanted."
Joanna Davies, Oct 2011
