Jude & Mark Edge

Hi I just wanted to reach out after we had James sing at our wedding on the 28/2/25 @ Thornton Hall Hotel & Spa He is just amazing!!! Such a lovely lovely guy with a fabulous personality and an even better voice! All our guests absolutely loved him he simply made our day can’t recommend him highly enough! Thankyou to him once again

M

Mr and Mrs Gibbs

What can we say! He was absolutely amazing & really got the party started. His professionalism, his humour & his singing - all unbelievable! He had everybody up dancing from the minute he started singing to the minute he stopped - which is exactly what we wanted! The only downside is that we wanted him to stay & sing for longer! We really can't recommend and thank James enough, you really did make our wedding day one to remember!

N

Nuala

I just wanted to filter back some feedback about James who was our singer/DJ on Saturday night for Mike’s 50th birthday party. James was the ultimate professional and had a very good sense of humor and was a pleasure to work with. He blended in well with the waiting staff and when he took over the stage he owned it. His voice was impeccable and he entertained all our guests and was very accommodating when asked to go over and above what he was contracted to do. I would have no hesitation in recommending him in the future.

S

Scott & Kirsty

Thank you so much for sorting james the singing waiter out for us. He certainly brought the house down with everyone , perfect song choices and got all our guests in the mood. He advised our guests that it was his last shift today after working at ribby for 6 years. The 'is he for real look' on guests faces was an absolute picture. Thank you very much james , perfect addition to a perfect weekend

Mr & Mrs Thorley

I just wanted to leave a review on James who I booked as a surprise guest at our wedding on the 27th October 2018 he appeared as a singing waiter in the day and singer and DJ for the evening reception. The whole day and night was fantastic he sang and played everything we wanted and all of our guests loved this special touch to make our wedding unique. James has an exceptional vocal range and a cracking voice he even made it a special touch by singing our first dance. I would highly recommend James and Garston Entertainment for any function as the communications between us and them was excellent. We would just like to thank you all for a fantastic day throughout.

Joanne Wardley

We just wanted to send some feedback on our surprise singing waiter, James. On Saturday 10th November he arrived at Pettistree house in Suffolk, under the disguise of a drinks waiter for our evening celebrating a 50th birthday. There were no caterers on site to hide among, and only one out of the thirty people attending was in on the surprise, but somehow they pulled it off. He snuck his equipment in, and ensured no one had an empty glass until just after our main course, when he took the room entirely by surprise and whipped out his microphone. James’ voice was brilliant, and he had every single person on their feet by the end of the first song. His song choices were great, and we danced the next hour away. He was a real showman, and knew how to work the crowd. A huge hit with all guests, young and old. Dealing with James prior to the event was easy, and he was always polite and professional. We couldn’t be more grateful for James for helping to make our evening that little bit more special.

Sarah Lee
He was AMAZING everyone got up on their feet and started to dance everywhere.

I would like to thank James the singing waiter. He was a surprise for my daughter and son in law at there wedding on Friday. I spotted him early on serving food and drinks, he blended in like one of the waiters so nobody knew anything. Then after the last meal was put down he started off with a joke how he was a waiter and was finishing so had to do a forfeit. My son in law and daughters faces where a picture when he started to sing and that in itself made my day. He was AMAZING everyone got up on their feet and started to dance everywhere. At one point every single person was stood up doing amore! It was just unbelievable. I think he was one of the highlights of the day. I can’t thank him enough for making there day so special. Thanks

Sharon Scullion hired James to perform at her Birthday Party at Thornton Hall Hotel & Spa, Wirral

I just wanted to say thank you to James for a super performance on Friday at my 40th birthday party. James began with a few swing songs as guests arrived and were sitting to eat, then about 30 minutes in, he upped the tempo a bit and got people up dancing and singing along. With a few jokes thrown in (mostly aimed at me!), he had guests laughing and really enjoying themselves. James was very professional, looked the part and made my party.

D

David Lydiate hired James to perform at his private party at the Hilton Hotel Liverpool

An awesome performer of the highest caliber. His rendition of "That's Life " "took the roof of" at my party to celebrate being 10 years in remission from Leukemia for a second time. It meant the world to me! A true perfectionist 11/10!
