Wedding Singer Essex – Tom Ryder

Tom was such a great addition to our wedding. He played for our drinks reception and wedding breakfast and it created such a lovely atmosphere. We highly recommend him! He was very professional and responded so quickly to any queries we had. We can't thank you enough for performing on our day!

Tom performed at our wedding this year and helped to make the day very special. He has a beautiful voice and I know that our guests (as well as ourselves) thoroughly enjoyed listening to him sing. He is able to perform a vast number of songs suited to many differing musical tastes and we found him a pleasure to collaborate with. We would thoroughly recommend him for any event you may have and hope to be able to listen to him perform again in the future. Thanks Tom! Kathy and Paul.

Tom performed at our wedding drinks reception this summer and I can't recommend him enough. An excellent voice, his set was 10/10 for ensuring guests were well entertained and entirely in keeping with our wedding. Guests routinely complimented his performance all through his stay, and Tom certainly added a lot to our big day. He was incredibly easy to deal with ahead of our wedding too. Very well organised and efficient with all correspondence. I would recommend Tom Ryder very highly - you won't be disappointed!

Tom performed at our wedding this year and we absolutely loved him! He was amazing and made our guests feel at ease with his feel-good tunes during our welcome drinks! Tom was also fantastic in the build up to the wedding and his communication was amazing, which helped with the pre-wedding stress! He gave us a list of songs we could choose from and we loved so many. We would definitely recommend Tom to anyone, he was truly brilliant.

Thank you so much for playing our ceremony and drinks reception. You were everything we had hoped for and created such a relaxed and chilled vibe. When I was stood with my dad before walking down the aisle, I cried and said how good you were! All of our guests said you were amazing too. It was all so perfect, and you played a big part in that 100%!

Tom played at our wedding at Apton Hall (Essex) a couple of weeks ago. He played during our reception drinks and canapés and it worked perfectly. He is an amazing singer and guitarist and it was the perfect accompaniment to our celebrations on our day. So many of our guests commented on how great he was. Tom took requests and played songs he hasn’t even played before! Thank you so so much for helping make our day so special. Would highly recommend.

Tom played at our wedding reception earlier in the year and was absolutely incredible. Everyone loved him and his performance. Tom was so professional in the run up to the wedding and understand exactly the vibe we were hoping to achieve on the day, and delivered. I’d definitely recommend. Thank you so much Tom!

Tom sang at our wedding at Auberge du Lac and was everything we hoped for on the day. Changeable weather meant moving around a bit but he accommodated us perfectly and sang brilliantly. All of our guests commented on how great Tom was! Tom also played the music for my entrance and our exit through his speakers- something I had been very nervous about… all was perfect, Tom couldn’t have been more helpful, approachable, and answered all of our questions before the wedding speedily and efficiently. We felt we were in good hands before our big day and were assured of it on the day itself.

Wow!! What a singer, we truly loved having Tom perform at our wedding. We requested 2 personal songs for him to sing for us for the ceremony and he didn't disappoint. Our guests loved him and have received multiple compliments about him since. I would highly recommend Tom for any occasion.

Tom played at our wedding and very happily moved our date 4 times with the craziness of covid. Throughout our wedding, we had guests comment on how amazing it was having Tom play and how much they loved listening to him. When he played our first dance song, it really was special and he even learnt a Disney song for us which isn't usually a song he would play. It was stupidly special to have him there! and we are so thankful we chose him! It really did make our wedding a phenomenal day!

We had Tom play for our ceremony and drinks reception at our wedding on 14th April and I'm so glad we found him - he was the exact relaxed vibe we wanted and we received some many compliments about his singing and playing! A lot of guests said how great he was. He also learnt 3 songs of our choice for the ceremony without any problems and they sounded so good on the day. I would highly recommend Tom for a wedding or any other event; he is friendly, relaxed and very talented! Thanks so much Tom!

Tom was at our wedding this weekend and played through our drinks reception. We were exceptionally lucky with the weather, which meant he could be outside with our guests - this went down extremely well! We are still getting compliments about how much of a fantastic setup it was and how much our guests enjoyed the music. In the build up to the wedding, Tom was extremely efficient and easy to chat to. Definitely recommend!

We used Tom to provide the music for our wedding ceremony. He was exceptionally responsive and so easy to work with - sending us snippets of the songs we asked him to perform to make sure we were happy with them (we always were). On the day itself, his voice surpassd all expectations, providing the perfect soundtrack to the ceremony! Would definitely recommend!

We had Tom play at our wedding for the drinks reception and wedding breakfast, he was absolutely amazing to listen to and created the best atmosphere, we were blown away by his voice. Everyone, both guests and the venue staff, were commenting throughout the day how much they were enjoying hearing him play and hearing live music again. The singing and dancing at the wedding breakfast was one of most memorable parts of our day. Tom was great in the build up to the wedding and always quick to respond. If anyone ever asks for a recommendation we will be sending them his way.

Tom's voice and style suited our venue perfectly, I literally cannot put into words how good he is when he performs. When we first came across Tom online we knew he’d be perfect for our day and he was. He performed all throughout the day for us and played our first dance too, which was beautiful. We would 100% recommend Tom; if you are considering having him at your wedding, do not hesitate, you won’t regret it!

We spent lots of time researching for a musician to play at our wedding and couldn't have been happier that we chose Tom. He is able to play a great selection of music and was more than accommodating when learning new songs. Tom is absolutely lovely, keeping to our casual theme while staying professional. Everything he did helped to make our day perfect. Tom got on with all our guests throughout the day and it felt like he was part of the wedding, so much so that no-one wanted him to leave! We would definitely recommend him to anybody looking for a talented musician for their wedding”.

"Just a little email to say a huge thank you for playing at our wedding. It was lovely to meet you, you were amazing and we had the best day. I am recommending you to all my friends!"

After listening to several artists online we chose Tom – because of his voice – and we chose well. Tom sang for my bride's entrance and it was magical, something I will never forget. As he moved through his repertoire our guests all commented how wonderful his voice was. My only regret is that we didn’t have him perform for longer. If you are looking to choose a singer for your wedding and are agonising over the many choices out there, then hire Tom with confidence. You will not be disappointed

Even now, two weeks on from our wedding day our guests are still mentioning the performance of Tom. He played incredible sets for us on the day. Firstly, he executed the song of our choice better than we could have ever wished for, as my wife walked down the aisle. Secondly, his performance during dinner was outstanding. Initially he created a relaxing ambience as we were seated. His energy caused an eruption of unprecedented scenes as guests got up to dance before the speeches had even begun! My wife and I can hand-on-heart say that our day would not have been as magical as it was, if it hadn’t have been for Tom. He surpassed all expectations (which were already considerably high!). We feel indebted to him for what he helped to create for us both. Our mission now is to get everyone else on board the Ryder fan train and I expect him to get a lot more bookings following the praise from our guests! Tom is an absolute mensch, a pleasure to have around. We are eternally grateful to him.

As soon as I heard Tom play at the Five Lakes wedding show I knew that I wanted him to play at my wedding. My husband and I listened to some of his tracks online and loved the style of music which we knew would suit us really well. Communication with Tom was brilliant and he did everything to make sure the music on our day was perfect. My guests commented on the live music during the ceremony and canapés and wished that they could have listened to more! Thank you for making our wedding music so special Tom :)

Thank you so much for playing at our reception drinks. You were simply brilliant and worked perfectly while our guests chilled and listened to you in the sun. I’d highly recommend you.

We came across Tom's website and loved his music and extensive repertoire! Our wedding was in Italy and we knew it was a long shot but contacted Tom to see if he would be willing to travel over to play and we're so grateful he said yes. Tom was fantastic, he was speedy at replying to messages, relaxed about travelling long distances in very hot weather (sorry!), and his music made the wedding so much better than we could have imagined. He played a beautiful version of a song we had chosen for me to walk down the aisle to and then played throughout the drinks reception. Everyone who came mentioned how much they enjoyed his playing and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him!

WOW - where do I start?! Tom was an absolute godsend on our wedding day. We were in the most unfortunate position of having our guitarist cancel five days before our wedding, or we could now see this as luck! Tom was able to confirm playing for us with only five days’ notice, knowing all of the songs we wanted, plus the song I wanted to walk down the aisle to. He made that moment so special, to be able to have it played live and as a surprise for my husband to be - I will never forget it. Not only this, but Tom was incredible throughout his reception drinks set, taking requests from guests and being such a great sport. I couldn't count on my hands the amount of people who came up to me afterwards to say how much they enjoyed him playing. Fun, upbeat and personal - which was exactly what we wanted for our big day. We cannot thank him enough :)

Thank you so much for performing at our wedding - you were absolutely brilliant! You really got the crowd involved, and we especially loved it when you sang ‘That's Amore’! As soon as we saw you at the Down Hall open day, we knew we wanted you to be a part of our special day, and the whole process was faultless! We would 100% recommend you to everyone!

From the moment my wife and I heard Tom perform, we knew we had to have him at our wedding. He has such a unique voice and is a very accomplished guitarist. The combination of the two is very special indeed. No song is unplayable for Tom and he has the talent to make a well-known song his own. We had Tom play during our wedding breakfast and the amount of guests who told us how amazing he was, was astounding! If we could give anyone advice on how to make their wedding that extra bit special, I’d definitely advise having Tom perform.

Dear Tom, just wanted to drop you a quick note to say thank you for singing at our Wedding on 18th March at Hedsor House. You certainly know how to belt out a tune or two! Several friends are musicians and they were all very impressed!

Thank you so much for singing at our wedding. You were amazing and we had so many wonderful comments from our guests about you. You took all of our requests on board and you really really did a fantastic job. Your performance during our wedding breakfast was sensational and our ceremony songs were just perfect. Thank you so much for helping making our day! We have already put your name forward to a few of our friends and would recommend you highly to anyone :)

Just a super quick email to say a huge thank you for helping us get the party started last Saturday. You were great and we had loads of guests complimenting us about you! Thank you so much & all the best for the future - you've got a cracking voice!

A big thank you for singing at our wedding. Everyone was full of compliments about your performance. It was wonderful hearing you sing and lovely that we were all able to enjoy it in the garden. We particularly enjoyed your rendition of Have I Told You Lately. It was truly special, thank you. We are sure you'll get some further bookings as a result; Kevin's son and his fianceé expressed an interest, so I have no doubt we will be seeing you again! We can't wait.

Thank you so much for singing at our wedding on Saturday. All I’ve been hearing from my guests is what a lovely voice you have. A massive thank you for leaving the music playing after the wedding breakfast set, it was a lovely touch and we both really appreciate it.

You were one of the best parts of the day and all of the guests loved you. They said to me before they saw you that they thought it was a record playing on a machine and were so surprised when they saw you singing! Your vocals are simply flawless, thank you again.

From the first time my dad and I heard Tom sing at a Down Hall open day we knew he would make the wedding even more special! He learned all the words to 'Years From Now’ which made the ceremony very personal and the drinks reception had a lovely upbeat atmosphere. The fact that people were trying to give him extra money to perform for even longer during the wedding breakfast is testament to how good he was! Every request was accommodated and this made for a fun-packed dinner service. I would have no hesitation in booking him for events in the future and will be keeping an eye on his diary for a night out at The Chequers in Matching Green!" #bloodybrilliantacousticsinger

Hi Tom, I just wanted to say a huge thank you for playing at our wedding on the 9th January. All our guests have said how great you were and that they enjoyed the fact that you took song requests during dinner. You set off a lovely atmosphere from start to finish. I cannot recommend you enough!

Having known Tom for many years, and having seen and heard his musical talents first hand, there was nobody else that my husband and I would have wanted to play at our wedding. Tom played a beautiful acoustic set during our drinks reception and we have had so many wonderful compliments from our guests. He also learned and played a new song for our first dance. But most special of all, Tom set my bridesmaid's wedding speech to music and sung it. His talents and abilities are amazing and I wouldn't hesitate in recommending him to anyone - he is brilliant! Thank you so much for being part of our special day.

Tom recently played at our wedding and he was outstanding. He was very accommodating with song choices and even learned a new song especially for our first dance. All of our guests agreed that he made the evening reception a night to remember, and we highly recommend him. We would have no hesitation in booking him again for similar events.

I just wanted to thank you for playing at our wedding at Down Hall. You were absolutely brilliant. The songs you played were fantastic for the atmosphere we wanted to create on our wedding day. The sun was shining, you played the classics, and you made everyone feel happy. We have had so many compliments about your talent from our guests and we would highly recommend you.

Tom - thank you for making our wedding unique and unforgettable. All of our guests couldn't praise you more. You really made the afternoon amazing and words can't describe how I felt when I walked into the ceremony room. We can't wait to have another event so we can book you again!

Tom played at my wife’s 50th Birthday party and made it a night to remember. An incredibly talented young man who deserves to go far.

Your acoustic sets were brilliant and you managed to read the ambience of the afternoon perfectly. Everyone was very complimentary, and my friends all keep telling me how they had such a fab time dancing under the stars.

Thank you so much for playing, you really made the party. You have a great voice and our guests loved it.
