More July 2023"Julie and I would like to say a big thank you to you for a fantastic set at our wedding last Saturday. We loved the first dance (Grow Old With Me), thought you played both the rock and more folky/acoustic tracks really well, and your versions were better than the originals! (Happy). We were also pleased to have a huge range of songs to choose from when selecting our track list, and appreciated the quick replies to our emails in the lead-up. There were a lot of compliments from our guests, and if anyone asks us to suggest a singer we’ll certainly recommend you! Many thanks, "

More May 2023"We just wanted to send you a quick email to let you know how thrilled we were with the Ritchie. He was absolutely awesome. He got the whole place buzzing in no time. We even have a relative that is an amputee and never gets out of his seat, and even he was up dancing. Could you please thank Ritchie for a job well done and the only regret we had was not being able to speak to him before he went because as you can imagine we were very busy. I have tried to attach some video footage but it is too large and we don’t use social media but if you want to see a very happy party then let me know how to send it! Once again thank you very much, Ritchie absolutely made our day. "

More July 2018"We booked him for during our wedding ceremony, when he was to sing with one of the bridesmaids, and for during the first part of the reception. To make it even more difficult, he had never met the bridesmaid before and was able to adjust to her singing style effectively during a quick rehearsal on the morning of the wedding. The guests were in disbelief that they had only met that morning; he was extremely professional and flexible. When the canapés were served, he provided subtle ambience as the guests milled around. He has a huge repertoire of songs and was able to take requests from family members, which ended in a memorable sing-a-long. His musicianship added a brilliant atmosphere to the day which has been commented on notably in the five years since! Thank you! "
