Dear Steve,

We would like to thank you very much for the wonderful contribution the Palm Court Trio made to our joint birthday party on Saturday.

Everyone loved the music and we've heard loads of compliments. Your repertoire was perfect for the occasion. You must have been so stressed out by the ghastly traffic on your journey over here but you all played beautifully and it went down very well.

THANK YOU!

Best wishes,

Andrea and Garry

Dear Steve

I would like to thank you and the rest of the Palm Court Trio for playing at our wedding.

The day was fantastic - it was wonderful to walk up the aisle to Trumpet Voluntary played so wonderfully and it was fantastic of you to learn the Horn Concerto for the signing of the register!! We haven't received it yet, but we are really looking forward to the video so that we can watch it all again!

The music during the Reception was also of an exceptional standard and we really enjoyed it when you called the guests to dinner and then played a trumpet fanfare when we entered the room! So many of our family and friends commented on how you made the day that bit more special.

I was also impressed about how you managed to reflect our personalities and sense of fun by playing the Dam Busters theme (as requested by my England loving husband!) during the cutting of the cake. That especially impressed my dad and even my German relatives thought it was amusing!

So thanks again helping to make our day so unforgettable. We would heartily recommend you to anyone!

Best wishes,

Isobel and Ian

Hi Steve,

I just wanted to thank you very much for the fantastic music on Saturday evening. To quote my Dad "it made the evening!" Mum and Dad both loved it, as did everyone else. We were all very impressed with you. I'm sure many of them will bear you in mind for any upcoming events.

It was a very enjoyable evening and I'm sure Mum and Dad will remember it for a long time. Thank you so much for your incredibly professional performance which contributed hugely to the success of the party.

Please pass on my thanks to the other 2 members of the trio for me. You all did an amazing job.

I look forward to creating the opportunity of hiring your ensemble's talents sometime in the future!

Take care

Best wishes

Review:

Dear Mr Fletcher,

Thank you for your performance with the London Banqueting Ensembles salon orchestra at our Livery Dinner last week.

A number of members and many guests’ letters have commented on the admirable musical programme and the quality of the music generally. In particular, the Post Horn Gallop was universally appreciated as you could surely tell from the storm of applause at its end.

I have the impression that your performance will have enhanced your reputation within the Livery world and I am sure that future engagements will stem from it.

Kind regards,

Nigel

Dear Steve,

Please accept our very belated, but very large thank you for the music your piano trio provided at our wedding reception. We had a truly wonderful day and your input really made the atmosphere of the afternoon. Everyone really enjoyed the fantastic surprise rendition of the Post Horn Gallop!! It really was a great finale to the wedding breakfast.

Thank you all very much,

May I add my thanks to those of the High Sheriff for the fanfares you provided on Friday last. Everyone was very pleased with the whole occasion. I wonder if you would be able to provide the trumpet fanfares for our next High Sheriff's installation. The High Sheriff would be pleased if you were able to do this.

Best wishes,

Caroline

Review:

Dear Steve,

I am writing on behalf of the master and myself to say how delighted we were with the musical entertainment you and your colleagues provided at our dinner last week.

The feedback we have received from members and guests has been glowing, and at yesterday's Court meeting the high standard of the music was singled out for praise. The programme you put together was perfect and your orchestra gave an excellent performance. The Post Horn Gallop was a great success and was particularly enjoyed by the Master.

Our only regret was that we had to cut you short due to the lateness of the hour.

I have no doubt we will want to engage you again and will be in touch in due course.

Kind regards,

John

Dear Steven,

Thank you so very much for having been such a star at the service in Westminster Abbey. It was marvelous having you with us again and you performed the Last Post as brilliantly as always and I am so terribly grateful. With all very best wishes and I'll be in touch again, no doubt, before long.
