Cannot recommend ‘Bird and the Bad Man’ enough to anyone who wants someone truly unique and exceptionally talented to perform at their wedding. We decided on the complete package of performance throughout the ceremony, drinks reception and the evening with live sets and disco and were so glad that we did, everyone was blown away with your voice. Huge thanks for adding that extra special touch to our wedding day.

...as I remember just how amazing our wedding day was... which was topped off by Sarah's stunning voice and the "Bad Man's" guitar skills! Could not recommend them highly enough!! The best compliment I can say is that our guests actually forgot a live band was performing and assumed it was the radio! They are that good, our friends have booked them for their wedding next year... so Claire and I look forward to seeing you again! Thank you again for making our day the best of our lives.

It’s been nearly four weeks since our wedding and we’ve been meaning to contact you to thank you so much for performing at our wedding. Everyone we speak to about the wedding always says how much they loved your music and thought you were amazing. Thanks for being prepared for any weather – it was really good of you to move half way through so our guests could enjoy the music. We hope to see you again in the future and will look out for public gigs when we visit nearby. Finally, thank you for being a part of our wedding and helping to make it the best day of our lives.

We googled acoustic wedding singers and found Sarah's website. She blew all other singers out of the water and we knew we had to have her at our wedding. Luckily Sarah was available and she was great in asking exactly what songs we would like to hear and making it really personalised. On the day she sounded amazing and we got loads of compliments from guests saying how incredible they were and how they initially thought on entering the room that it must be a recording! Sarah even learnt a song that was our favourite and sang it beautifully with an awesome accompaniment by the guitarist. Sarah put a lot of effort into performing at our wedding and it really contributed to making the day special for us.

I had previously seen Bird and the Bad Man a couple of times at our local pub and loved them - I am not usually that in to bands, but loved the way they played all the up to date popular music and older dance tunes I love. We then booked them for our daughter's 21st, as she loved them too. We had a lovely day, the sun was shining and their music was just perfect, we had people there from age 7 to 88 and they all enjoyed the music. They played before the meal, during and after which was really nice and everyone really enjoyed it and commented how perfect the music was for the day and occasion. Sarah was in touch before to ask if there were any particular songs we wanted and on the day fitted around what we wanted. I really cannot recommend Bird and the Bad Man enough - hope I get to see them again soon.

Hi Sarah, Thank you both so much for yesterday. You were truly exceptional and so many people have commented on how amazing you were. You really lifted our wedding day to heights we could only dream of and we are so grateful to you both. Thank you so much. You really both were fantastic. If I didn't have so many guests and people to see to during the evening, I would have been quite happy just to sit in front of you all night and just marvel at how amazingly talented you both are! I really hope I get the chance to see you perform again when I can just devote all my full attention to you. I'll be recommending you to everyone I know! Otherwise if you have any gigs or performances in the north west then I'd love to watch you again. Thank you both again for helping to make the day so memorable. You are both lovely people too and were so patient with us when we were running behind schedule. Good luck with everything. Keep in touch X

We got married on 5th September a few weeks ago and Sarah and David travelled all the way to Essex to perform at our wedding reception and during our wedding breakfast. The atmosphere they created set the perfect mood and everyone enjoyed their music. We had comments all night singing their praises and when they stopped our guests were asking when they were coming back! They are amazing and our wedding would not have been what we imagined without them. Thank you both! We will be booking you again for another event in a heart beat!

Sarah and David played at our wedding reception in August and were everything we could have hoped for. They were absolutely fantastic and even learned a song for our first dance, which they performed beautifully. Many of our guests commented on how amazing they were and they really helped make our wedding the best day of our lives. We are so happy that we booked them and would highly recommend them for any event. Would give them 11 out of 10 if possible!

We originally saw bird and the badman at a wedding fayre at Hothorpe hall and instantly I was impressed at the talent of them both. I spoke with Sarah and after confirming wedding dates we had booked the Duo to sing and arrange our disco for our big day in the Woodlands at Hothorpe. When our wedding day finally arrived the bird and the badman turned up with plenty of time to spare and we're able to set up while we we're having our ceremony. As soon as we came out for drinks the music started and was absolutely amazing (we had booked for music in the daytime as well as the evening)
We then had our wedding breakfast and we we're onto the evening entertainment. I had asked for more upbeat songs to be sang and played on the night time and they didn't disappoint, everyone was up dancing and really enjoyed the whole evening. I have had so many comments since the wedding about how amazing the bird and the badman were. They really made a difference on our wedding day and I can't thank them en ...ough. If you’re undecided on who to book for your wedding you don't need to look any further than these two they really are out of this world.

I first heard Sarah when she was performing in Melton Mowbray high street one day, I was working across the street and said I would love someone like her to play at my wedding, little did I know I would be able to find and get bird and the badman to play. Thank you to you both for playing two fantastic acoustic sets at our wedding reception at Rutland water in Aug. We have had great feedback from our guests and my dad who is hard to please when it comes to covers, he thought Sarah's vocals were brilliant! Sarah's contact throughout the booking was great and she even became our dj for the remainder of our evening reception. Would definitely book again!
