What clients say
A few words from customers I've worked with
"We first saw Richie playing at a wedding fayre we visited at our venue. We always wanted a bit of live music, so decided it was meant to be! I can't think of anyone better to have performed for us making such a huge contribution to our special day.
From the very start he made it clear to us that this was our day and whether it was in the form of collating a playlist of what we liked/wanted, giving him our suggestions or just leaving it solely up to him to go with the vibes on the day. It was entirely up to us.
In the end we threw a few suggestions on genre out there during a meeting we had, we mentioned a few requests but mainly wanted him to go with the vibe of the day which couldn't have been better!
There was nothing more welcoming than arriving there for everyone to be gathered around him listening to tune after tune!
As expected my wife and I were busy during some of the songs and unfortunately, missed one of our requests. Never the less when we next saw Richie performing at our local, he went out of his way to perform our missed song for us as well as many other requests!
If you’re looking to make your day extra special in any way you can, Richie is a must and our day wouldn't have been the same without him!"

"After seeing Richie at our local pub, Both me and my partner said if we ever get married Richie would be asked to sing for us. Fast forward 2 years and he did just that.
Richie was a complete professional and a pleasure to deal with. Super-fast email response times and just took the stress out of a very important part of our day.
His set on the day was fantastic and all our guest commented just how great he was. Seamlessly going from different genres and decades, sang songs that were to our liking and taste ,even a few requests thrown in from our guest for good measure including Dr Dre .
But what made this even more personal was that Richie was more than happy to sing a song I had wrote for my wife and even came up with a guitar riff to play it to. Both me and Amie were blown away by this and it really made not just Amies day but also mine even more special than it already was.
‘What a guy’ . I cannot recommend Richie Phillips highly enough. From the first email to the hand shake after his set he was a true gent and an absolute legend."

"We asked Richie to play at our wedding and my wife and I could not have been happier with our choice.
He had previously played at a friend’s wedding and he was absolutely superb. Richie is not only a great DJ but a really talented musician who played a number of songs himself. A personal favourite was ‘No church in the wild’ on guitar. We knew this was the guy we wanted to play at our wedding.
Before the wedding, Richie was engaged and on hand with any questions we had, to understand the kind of music we wanted, how we would like our first dance played out etc. On the day, he was perfect.
I think what sets Richie out from the rest of the DJs I’ve seen play other weddings is his talent and how well he can read the room. His DJ and guitar skills ensured the dance floor was full and jumping along. He knew when things needed a change up to keep pace with the evening and able to blend drunken requests in to the set list he had for us.
For anyone thinking of involving Richie in their day, I couldn’t recommend someone more. He’s the guy you want."

"We’ve been booking Richie to perform at The Black Horse for the past four years, and he has been absolutely faultless every single time. From the initial booking process through to the performance itself, Richie is always professional, reliable, and incredibly easy to work with. He takes the time to understand exactly what we’re looking for and tailors his sets perfectly to suit the atmosphere and audience.
What really sets Richie apart is his ability to engage with customers. He creates a fantastic atmosphere, gets people involved, and ensures everyone has a memorable night.
I would highly recommend Richie to anyone looking to book a talented and dependable performer. He has been a huge asset to our venue, and we look forward to many more great nights with him at The Black Horse."

"What can I say apart from Richie made the day extra special! In our calls before Richie was super happy to work with us on what we wanted.
Richie has supported me professionally by performing at many work events, over the past 10 years, ensuring they delivered a fantastic experience to customers and office teams. I had absolutely no doubt that I wanted Richie to perform at my wedding day, I knew I could trust him and he would deliver.
How he sings and creates an extraordinary atmosphere is second to none, his voice is just amazing! He knows how to work the crowd, interact with guests, read the room to ensure our brief was met in style!
He is super personable and makes people smile. Our wedding day was perfect in every way! Thank you Richie. Look forward to working with you again."

"I couldn’t recommend Richie highly enough! He played and sang beautifully throughout my sister’s wedding breakfast, creating the perfect atmosphere with music that suited the moment so well.
In the evening, Richie joined Dan on drums and Tom on bass to form the band, and together they were fantastic. They knew exactly how to read the room – tailoring the set to keep everyone on the dance floor and matching the music to the energy of the crowd perfectly.
On top of their incredible talent, Richie, Dan, and Tom are some of the most down-to-earth and friendly people you could meet, which made the whole day even more special."
