Its really hard to put into words what I have to say about Simon's performance at our wedding. Nothing I can say will do him justice. " BLOODY FANTASTIC" "AWESOME" "AMAZING" "BRILLIANT" and I could go on and on. We had a fantastic day, everything went perfectly and then Simon stepped up to the plate and hit the final home run of the evening. Everyone of our 100 guests commented on how good he was and how well he blended in to the rest of our evening. My only regret was we had no money left in our budget to give him a tip that he well and truly deserved. Do yourselves a favour and book this guy for your function, you will not be disappointed. I would like to get married again just to have him play for us.
