“You did a wonderful job and we wouldn't hesitate to recommend you to anyone we know that wants a talented, high calibre singer/songwriter to play for them.”

Matt & Sarah, Wedding, 2019

“A true professional and real talent, Benjamin made our family hen party dinner a truly special event. He has a wonderful talent and I’m so glad that the was recommended to me and that I got in touch. A very memorable night he made it for us all. Thank you!”

Jo, Private Party at Marco Pierre White's at the Rudloe Arms, October 2017

“Benjamin is fantastic!! He played at our wedding with a beautiful acoustic set during the ceremony and then rocked the dance floor at the reception. His stage presence is amazing and kept us dancing all night, we even postponed our taxi because we didn't want the night to end! He is one of the most versatile and fun musicians you could hire and a lovely bloke to boot!”

Jack and Louise, Wedding, May 2019

“Benjamin North played for both the ceremony and evening reception at our wedding on Friday. He played a lovely version of ‘This Year's Love’ for our entrance song which left us and most of the guests very emotional and was beautifully done. He timed it to perfection and played versions of our chosen songs during other parts of the ceremony. In the evening, he had everyone dancing and having so much fun with a mixture of his own and cover songs. The guests were extremely complimentary about his talent both on the guitar and vocally. Would definitely recommend for anyone needing a musician. Thank you!”

Rosie and Simon, Wedding, May 2019

“The music was superb with Ben singing our requests and mixing in his own songs perfectly. He got everybody up dancing and his singing was the perfect start to the best evening of our lives.”

Colin & Claire, Wedding, August 2018
