Ant Barnes | Book Live Music in Bucks

/

Ant was extremely professional from the moment we booked him, meeting up with us beforehand and offering us a wide range of songs to choose from for our set list. The music was fantastic, enjoyed by all and really improved the atmosphere in the evening. We would fully recommend Ant to anyone looking to book live music for a wedding or event.

We have worked with Ant many times over the last couple of years and keep getting him back in to play on account of his strong, versatile voice and sound that suits a wide range of styles and settings, from larger crowds to intimate gigs. Ant can be amazingly flexible with the set list and tailors a performance to suit the crowd. All in all, he’s a great guy and really easy to work with.

Ant was the perfect choice for singing at our wedding; he is a very talented musician and song writer. We wanted someone that would really make the day personal to us, someone that was easy to work with and whose music everyone would enjoy. He was able to work all the music we requested into our ceremony seamlessly, was very professional, and he made us feel at ease and that everything was in hand. I could not recommend him enough to someone who is looking for a personal touch to their wedding. Thank you so much Anthony!

We were so lucky to have Ant play at our wedding. When we told him we wanted Led Zeppelin’s Thank-you as our first dance, Ant spent his time learning and perfecting his own cover of the song, which when performed was a moment we will never forget from our day. Ant is really passionate about music so it was great to talk through our play list with him. He is reliable, professional, truly talented and the loveliest guy. We loved Ant’s live music so much we booked him again for a 30th birthday party, which was equally as brilliant.

Ant was recommended to us by a friend to play at our wedding and he was brilliant! He played instrumental covers as our guests arrived at the church, the bride was nearly half an hour late but Ant was more than happy to carry on playing and created a lovely atmosphere in the church which everyone really enjoyed. We asked Ant if he would be able to play and sing our favourite song whilst we signed the register in the church. He learned this specially and it was perfect, and one of the many highlights of our day. Ant also performed some covers as our guests arrived at the reception and everyone loved the live music. Ant was professional, passionate, very friendly and it was a pleasure to have him perform on our special day. We couldn’t recommend Ant enough. Thank you so much.

Ant was an integral part of our wedding and such fun to work with. He listened to exactly what we were after and even though our first dance wasn't already in his repertoire, he more than happily went away and came up with a beautiful arrangement for our big day. I've had the pleasure of seeing Ant play both covers and his own original material and love his work. He has a truly wonderful voice which pulls you in. On top of it all, he was just a lovely bloke to work with. Thanks for making our day complete Ant!

Having Ant at our wedding made it so special and memorable! Ant played while I walked down the aisle, sang our first dance, and also played during the drinks reception. Ant was lovely to work with, responsive and enthusiastic, and really cared about our day and what we wanted. He is also a lovely guy and was so much fun to have there on the day! Ant is so talented and we had so many comments from guests on how brilliant he was. I wish I had videoed the day so I could hear it all over again! I would 100% book Ant again for any live music in the future. Thank you Ant!

My wife and I absolutely loved having Ant play at our wedding in Marlow in summer 2024. The overall service and approach that Ant provided was exceptional! I discovered Ant online, and as soon as I made contact, I knew I had the best candidate for the job. Ant proactively suggested a preparation session where he introduced himself, and then set out to really understand and listen to our requirements, so to tailor his offering. As we considered Ant's offering, it was immediately visible that Ant was invested in making our event as spectacular as possible, and it not just being another gig for him. As well as providing a potential set list full of wide-ranging options, Ant highly encouraged my wife and I to include a few requests that Ant would then learn and play to make our day extra special. How cool is that! Whilst I then focused on other event activities, Ant covered all background diligence and activities by aligning with the venue on all logistics, and providing required certificates for PAT and Liability, etc. On our special day, Ant arrived on time, seamlessly got set up and was flexible to start a little later as our speeches were behind. After the speeches were delivered, it was game time, and then Ant stepped up and delivered an epic set. The overall sound and experience that Ant provided was perfect for the occasion, with Ant effortlessly moving through multiple genres and styles, ensuring the guests were loving it at all times. Ending the set with all guests singing to ‘Sweet Caroline’ and ‘Country Roads’, are cherished memories that we will remember forever. I highly recommend Ant for any occasion, and I know that in the future, I will be in contact with Ant to play at any special events I will be hosting. Overall, a 10/10 experience. We struck gold with Ant!

Ant was a pleasure to have perform at our wedding! He played for our ceremony and drinks reception and marched the vibe of the wedding perfectly. He also took the time to learn two songs that were really important to us and was always super friendly when we spoke to him! We only wish we could have seen his performance more as we were whisked away for photos. However, all our guests said how brilliant he was - we thoroughly recommend Ant to anyone looking for a musician!

Ant was absolutely brilliant. He worked with us in respect of what we wanted and could do within the confinements of our small wedding venue. He played a great variety of songs and we were all up singing along. One of our guests wants to book him for their wedding next year. Really nice guy and made our evening reception a great success.
