Great set. Perfect music for our tastes. Guests loved him. Communication was clear. Was able to perform outside at our special request. Can't recommend him enough. Just wish we had booked him for the evening entertainment as the evening band didn't really do what we requested. (Please note - the evening band was NOT booked via Warble Entertainment)

Paul was extremely flexible in the run up to the wedding & took time to learn songs particularly for our wedding. The performance itself was outstanding and fitted in perfectly with the ambience we wanted to create during our evening.

Hi Paul, sorry I didn't get the chance to say bye on Saturday, hope you got to your next call on time. Just wanted to say a big thank you for getting the music just right for the occasion. Abby and Owen had a great day and loved every minute of it. Personally I was bowled over by your rendition of their first dance song (can't remember what it was called) as I actually wasn't that keen on the original version. You lightened up the song and made it a great first dance. Can't thank you enough for that! If we have any other occasions and you are not too famous by then we would definitely book you again. Very best wishes and lots of love, Kerry and Mark (Abby's Mum and Dad)

A nice lad with a unique sound and product. Always difficult to perform ahead of the main act on a Saturday evening but he nailed it.

Fantastic at our wedding! Everyone commented on how talented and friendly Paul was! Would definitely recommend and would consider using his band in the future as well as a solo performance. Thanks Paul!
