Thanks James! -- Stacey B, Orlando, FL, 8/11/2007
- I hired James for my low key wedding reception. His performance was fantastic. He was completely professional and appropriate, the music was great and appealed to all ages, he was always at the perfect volume, very unobtrusive, yet if you watched him, he was putting on a great show. I would recommend him for any wedding, party or corporate event. At least 5 people asked for his contact information. He performed a really nice duet with my daughter and accomodated every request. -- Andrea Nicole G, Orange Park, FL, 8/10/2007

- James Raymond performed for our software conference's cocktail reception. He was great and is very talented. He is a one-man band. We asked him to play longer, and he was very accommodating. He chose music to match our crowd. He showed up early and was easy to work with. He always answered my phone calls and emails prior to the event in a timely manner. I never worried he wasn't going to show up. I highly recommend him for any function.

- Did a great job. -- Pam W, Clearwater, FL, 10/23/2010
- James was amazing! We booked him from the UK and had to place so much faith in reviews and clips we had seen, but he did not disappoint! His voice is quite superb and so many of our guests were in awe of his performance. I can honestly say he made a perfect end to our wedding celebrations and we really couldn't have asked for more. He was diverse in his singing style and each song we chose was delivered with such passion and feeling that lots of our guests really felt touched! And words fail me when it comes to his rendition of Dylan's/Adele's "Make You Feel My Love" - it was haunting and left the room speechless! I would have no hesitation in recommending James! -- Debbie R, Clearwater, FL, 10/28/2011
