I used ELM Agency to book entertainment for an awards ceremony. Emily was incredibly helpful at every step of the way and her communication was excellent. She made the entire process so easy and the band we booked was AMAZING!! Highly recommended!

We booked Becca through ELM Agency, who were great at helping us organise the perfect evening entertainment. Becca was absolutely incredible at our wedding! She played the saxophone during our evening reception and completely brought the party to life. Not only is she an amazing musician, but she was also so lovely and accommodating when our schedule ran a bit late—nothing was too much trouble. As soon as she started playing, the dancefloor filled up and never emptied! Our guests couldn’t stop raving about her performance. She created such a fun, electric atmosphere and was a huge highlight of the night. We’re so glad we booked her—thank you, Becca!

Great company, very quick with responses, very helpful in the booking stages and kept me informed throughout the process, Nichola was absolutely great and is a fantastic Saxophonist would 100% recommend

We booked the Starshine band for our wedding through Emily at ELM Agency (via our wedding planner, Poppy Sienna Events), and it was one of the best decisions we made! The band were absolutely amazing. They brought so much energy, kept guests on the dance floor and created the most incredible party atmosphere. Emily was also such a pleasure to work with throughout the whole process. We had a few calls with Emily at the start and also leading up to the wedding. She was so friendly, organised, and helpful, making everything seamless from the initial booking right through to the wedding day. We felt so supported and knew we were in safe hands. Thank you so much to Emily and the Starshine band for making our wedding evening unforgettable. We couldn’t have wished for better! Love, Sarah & Andrew (The Hebditchs)

Emily at Elm was an absolute pleasure to work with from the very beginning. Her artists Becca on Sax and Stuart of Mint DJs created incredible energy at our daughter’s wedding, coping superbly with our rather high-octane guests. The dance floor was always packed and we did not want the evening to end. Cannot recommend ELM or our two artists highly enough - thank you for bringing the magic!

Having seen Nichola perform at an event locally to me last year I knew instantly I wanted to book her for my 60th birthday party. She is a wonderful performer and has just the right personality I wanted. She is absolutely a delight to work with and my guests all loved listening to her. Emily at the agency was really helpful and efficient during the whole process too. Highly recommend.

Such a wonderful performance by Starlight Strings. We loved including them in our wedding day and they made it feel so special and elevated. Definitely book them for your next event!

Charley and the strides performed for us at a big family festival. Their music was absolutely fantastic and we had so much excellent feedback about how good they were. Talented, engaging and very entertaining. Thoroughly recommended.

We had the most amazing evening at the Mitre Hotel Hampton Court with the incredible Nicki on Saxophone from Elm Agency. What a night. Nicki was absolutely phenomenal. Would highly recommend. We had a 2 hour set with Nicki on Sax and then Nicki did another session playing sax with the DJ. Absolutely fantastic.

Emily helped us create the perfect entertainment for our wedding day. Her professionalism and organisation is second to none and I knew that our special day was in safe hands with her. All the acts which we booked through ELM were incredibly talented and blew our guests away with their amazing vocals and good vibes. I was provided with substantial options to suit our budget which all of which matched our brief perfectly. I would not hesitate to recommend ELM Agency for any event, small or large!

ELM Agency helped us find the BEST entertainment for our wedding!! Emily was fantastic to work with — she was organized, communicative, helpful, and lovely all around. The choices of acts are impressive and we were beyond pleased with how the entertainment turned out for our wedding. We had an incredible string quartet who performed for our ceremony and cocktail hour, playing an impressive range of songs our guests loved. We then had Gatsby Band for the party who helped create possibly the most fun and lively dance floor, exceeding our wildest hopes and giving us the most fun wedding we could have asked for. Gatsby Band was beyond impressive and perfectly catered to our audience with very mixed demographics. Our guests were blown away by them and have insisted we need to throw an anniversary party so we can do it all again. I highly recommend working with ELM and choosing these acts.

Fantastic service from ELM Agency for our wedding at the Counting House, London, this year. We had Ross DJing and Orlando on the Saxophone. The dance floor was full all night – so many people said it was the best music of any wedding they’d been to. It was so much fun and the guys absolutely nailed it. Orlando on the Saxophone really made it special – and our guests loved him! Communication and coordination in the build up exceptional from Emily – even with last minute changes from our side. Thanks so much Emily and team – we’d recommend you very highly!!

Emily was incredible to work with. She listened to our brief for our wedding party and sent us lots of great options to choose from. Once we had chosen an artist, she was so on top of everything and made sure that we felt confident with everything that was needed from us and by when. My husband and I were very nervous about our party and she made us feel completely at ease - thanks so much Emily, you’re amazing! We had the best party and have had so many comments from our friends and family about how great the music was (we had Mark as a solo act). We only wish we could do it all again!

We hired a singing DJ, sax and bongos for our wedding and WOW what a party! Emily was on the ball and very helpful in understanding exactly what we were after and boy did they all deliver!

Thanks so much to Emily for stepping in last minute & arranging an amazing Sax player, Becca for my 40th party- she was brilliant - really easy to work with the agency. Thanks so much

The Starlight Strings were amazing at our civil wedding, they set the tone perfectly during the ceremony, building the atmosphere. Then switched it up during the drinks reception to get everyone in the party mood! The communication prior to the event put me at ease and I had no worries or stress on the day. Our guests loved them and they made the day that extra bit special! Thank you so much :)

I contacted Emily to have an acoustic duo play at our bbq this summer and she arranged to have Pura Vida to come to us for the day. They were brilliant and kept going even when the rain hit! Absolutely fantastic duo, would have them again in a heartbeat!

We hired The Pickin' Mix Acoustic Duo for our wedding reception at the end of August and they were sensational! Emily's voice is stunning and our guests are still commenting about how good they were! I would highly recommend the Pickin' Mix Duo and will be using them again in the future!

I couldn’t recommend Emy & Keys more highly… they did an absolutely perfect performance at our wedding which all of our guests thought was fantastic. Emily and Joe were just lovely and we wouldn’t hesitate to invite them to future events!

Emily, Matt and the team provided an extraordinary service for our wedding. Emily kept in touch throughout and made lots of recommendations based on different budgets. We had a brilliant DJ and saxophonist, both of whom worked perfectly with our suggested playlist. We’ve had guests asking for details for their own parties and weddings and so many complements on the evening’s entertainment. ELM are superb!

Starlight Sounds performed at our wedding reception, and they were wonderful! The music was beautiful and it made for a lovely atmosphere. Several guests told us that they immensely enjoyed the music. I would highly recommend the duo to anyone looking for a singer and pianist for their event.

I had the pleasure of working with ELM Agency when I photographed a wedding at Syon Park. ELM provided incredible entertainment with both The Pickin’ Mix Acoustic Duo and Halo Strings Ltd. Their music was perfect and Pickin' Mix roamed with guests to guide them from one area to another and created a real party atmosphere. Fabulous!

Josie came to my 40th and performed two brilliant sets as well as sorting and arranging the playlist for the rest of the evening. She is extremely talented - both guitar and singing- she has a stunning voice and a great understanding of how a good party should be. As well as that she is a genuine and very warm person - I felt an instant connection with her as she is just so lovely. She absolutely made the party as she had everyone up and dancing and it was exactly what I had wanted. She took into account my song requests and somehow everything went down a storm with all the guests. I cannot recommend Josie (and Emily at Elm) highly enough. These girls are dynamite.

We booked Jazz & the Tonics for our 1920s themed Dinner Dance. They really were the icing on the cake for our event. The music they provided was classy, fun, and varied to allow time for chatting and dancing equally. They were lovely too - and very professional too. We would certainly use them again for a future event.

A last minute request for a singer for an anniversary surprise performance and like magic it was achieved! Mitch was superb and made the evening. Emily made the process from enquiry to performance easy, she was reassuringly responsive, I would highly recommend ELM Agency.

I used Elm for my 60th party at the Mitre Hotel near Hampton Court. They found me the perfect band, Miller & Co who weee a great success. Thank you for a great service

Fantastic experience! We used this agency to book our wedding band. Emily did a stellar job- smooth process, no issues and most importantly, she got us the band we wanted. Boogie on Down were epic! I danced the whole night and not once was disappointed in their song choices. A truly talented band.

Melissa Blanch

We had a fantastic experience with Elm Agency. Emily went to extra lengths to find us a musician at an extremely busy time of year. She regularly kept in touch, giving me people's profiles and price options. She helped me curate the night around the music and Ryan our saxophonist did not disappoint. He lifted the whole party and we played our music through his sound system which was a bonus. Would definitely use both again- five stars!

We have used Elm Agency a number of times and have also got several acts booked for future events! Emily couldn't be more helpful throughout the whole booking process and has lots of wonderfully talented musicians. Would highly recommend!!

Mark's Got Soul were amazing! They had every single guest up on the dance floor and brought such a great energy to our wedding. So many of our guests have said it was the best wedding band they’ve heard and that they loved the great mix of songs played. They took on board all of our song requests and made our reception everything we wanted and more…couldn’t recommend them enough!

Emily was a pleasure to deal with. The band were PHENOMENAL and without them our party wouldn’t have been the same. Having live music including a live saxophonist made the evening very special. Thank you ELM xxx

We used ELM Agency to supply a band for our wedding day, and we were not disappointed! We firstly had a conversation with ELM to discuss what sort of things we wanted on the day with regards to the music, the advice back was very helpful and wasn't trying to push more than we needed. ELM listened to what we wanted, worked with us and we found The Good Time Guys who were brilliant. The music was fit perfectly to our taste, and got our guests up and dancing which was amazing to see. Thanks again to all at ELM Agency and the Good Time Guys for an amazing evening!

Emily was fantastic! She energised the whole room with her choice of songs (great eclectic mix of era and vibe) and fabulous voice. This inspired us to do an impromptu first dance. Would highly recommend x

Emily and her team are always such a joy to work with and always provide the perfect musical acts for our events. Everyone who ELM represents is friendly and professional, and ensure that the music is spot on for whatever type of party we are planning!

Emily and ELM Agency were incredible for our wedding reception, with only a weeks notice she arranged a brilliant string duo to perform for us who everyone loved. Could not recommend Emily or the duo highly enough!

Jazz & The Tonics played for my 60th birthday party. They were a joy to deal with throughout the whole experience, from booking to performance. The blend of instruments and Emily’s voice is just wonderful and their music got everyone dancing and tapping along. Comments from my friends included “brilliant band”, “loved the excellent band”, “great band”. I can’t recommend them enough!

I approached ELM for our wedding band as I wasn't sure what I wanted and knew they had a good selection and variety of musicians. Emily looked after us and was extremely knowledgeable and helpful- she listened to what we wanted and then sent over a few different bands for us to listen to and watch clips of. It made the search for a band really fun and easy! We decided to book The Martinis and they were incredible. Emily also assisted us in finding a sound engineer to support on the day as the venue had a slightly strange set up. This was definitely worth the extra investment. We got married in 2016 and people still talk about our wedding band!! They got everyone up and dancing all night long, they took requests and were just awesome. I danced my socks off. I would highly recommend working with ELM agency and if we have any anniversary parties we will definitely be coming back to Emily!

ELM Agency were so so helpful when we were trying to find a band for our wedding - we literally couldn’t have done it without them! We weren’t sure what was out there, or how to find the perfect band, but Emily really listened to what we wanted and provided all her experience and recommendations until we found the right one! Her technical knowledge is second to none (being in the industry herself) and she even liaised with our venue without needing to get us involved! Would highly recommend ELM to anyone!! Thank you ELM!

We chose ELM to provide the entertainment for our wedding and we were both delighted with the band that we chose. They were fantastic, had our guests up dancing and played all our favourite songs. We wanted to add some female vocals to the group and Nothing was to much for Emily to sort out and she listened to exactly what we wanted. She liaised with the venue to remove the stress of something else for us to worry about and it went without a hitch . A lot of our guests commented on the quality of the band . I can not recommend ELM enough . Emily really did go the extra mile and made the whole process of using ELM a dream .

We used ELM agency to book our wedding singer - Emily-Jane and both the singer and the service were excellent! We had great and attentive communication from the very beginning and we were SO impressed with our wedding singer on the day. She looked stunning, sounded INCREDIBLE and we only wish we could have seen more of her performance because she was so fantastic! All of the guests commented on her beautiful singing and she was so perfect in the setting of Warwick Caste. We would 100% recommend ELM Agency to anybody and wouldn't hesitate to use this agency again! Thank you so much to Emily-Jane and Emily-Louise!!! Emily & Jamie

We used the Detroit Steppers as our wedding band. ELM made everything incredibly easy and very well organised, which was great as it was one less thing to worry about. I would highly recommend the band but also ELM in helping you find the right artist for you. Thanks again.
