Incredible Civil Ceremony Performance!

5 stars - James Nicholas are Highly Recommended
booked James Nicholas for their Wedding in Hertfordshire November 2024

“James performed at my brother's wedding back in May this year. Me and my husband didn't hesitate to book James for our own civil ceremony and we were blown away by his incredible performance, we couldn't have booked anyone better. A gifted and talented musician who made our wedding ceremony so special.”


Wedding must-have!

5 stars - James Nicholas are Highly Recommended
booked James Nicholas for their Wedding in Leicestershire July 2024

“James was amazing! We were able to have a conversation with James prior to the wedding and he was friendly but professional. He understood very quickly the chilled vibe we were after. From start to finish, the performances James provided were outstanding. We arrived at the field where we held our wedding party to James singing and playing the piano, he learnt our first dance song in less than 2 weeks, and provided a DJ service in the evening. Everything was spot on! James’ voice is smooth and soulful. I could listen to him time and time again. All our guests could talk about on the day and following was how great James was. He made our wedding so special and I would happily have him come to entertain for us again in the future. 10 stars!”

“James was such an incredible singer and performer. He played at the beginning of our wedding day, as guests arrived and sang as I walked down the aisle. After the ceremony he sang amongst the crowd and everyone loved him! He got the party started even before the wedding breakfast. I would absolutely recommend James for any event and would not hesitate to book him again. Thank you James!”
