Hiring Tom to play at our wedding was without a doubt one of the best decisions we made about our day.
He is an absolute legend and was a highlight during our wedding. He is genuinely such a lovely person and was a real pleasure to get to know. He has a brilliant taste in music, with a huge range on his repertoire and having him is so much more special than your usual wedding musician and typical wedding playlist. He will personalise the songs and setup according to you!
Tom was amazing from start to finish. We enjoyed his tracks online, then when we enquired we were instantly put at ease by his warmth and genuine interest. He showed a lot of thoroughness in thinking about the music for our wedding and was passionate about getting it right for us. He helped us with our song choices and aced learning to play songs that we specifically requested for our day.
We thought he would be special, yet we were blown away by him being absolutely phenomenal on the actual day. He has the most incredible voice, with unforgettable guitar and harmonica skills! He played songs during our wedding ceremony and the wedding reception. During our ceremony his rendition of Xavier Rudd’s follow the sun was one of the most beautiful pieces of music I have ever heard, me and my husband will never forget listening to him play and it was a magical moment for us that we will treasure for the rest of our lives.
We had so many compliments from everyone who attended asking “where did you find him?!”. On the day his relaxed, joyful and chilled vibes were perfect. Alongside all the great vibes, he was professional, communicative and reliable throughout. He really went above and beyond. He even took some stunning photos and a video for us, which we really appreciated.
I cannot recommend Tom highly enough to anyone who is looking for a truly outstanding musician.

We had the best wedding day and Tom was such an important part of it.
He was absolutely fantastic and exceeded our already high expectations. We can’t put into words how much we appreciated the effort he put into learning all of the songs we love - music is so important to us and Tom brought our musical dreams to life on the day. So many of our guests commented on how much they loved the music.
No question was too much hassle and Tom made us feel like our wedding was really special to him. He was great at communicating and attentive to all of our needs and requirements.
If you like great music, book Thomas J Wilman for your wedding!

A fantastic supplier and musician who made our wedding day so special and personal to us! Would recommend in a heartbeat.
Thomas came to sing at our Manchester wedding and he made the church service so memorable, with guests praising his wonderful style and exceptional taste in music. We knew when we found Thomas online that we had to book him!
Honestly, our wedding wouldn't have been the same without Thomas and I would recommend his musical services to anyone and everyone - professional, efficient, easy-going and most importantly, a talented musician with a gorgeous style.
Thank you so much Thomas for being a joy to work with and for making our day so special and personal!

Amazing - Tom is so talented!
Tom played and sang so so beautifully on our wedding day. He is such a lovely person and perfectly professional. I would hire him a hundred times over!
He played during our ceremony with such authenticity and was a dream to collaborate with in the lead up.
Holly & Adam
Just exceptional!
Tom is professional, friendly and talented! He was so accommodating of any changes and delays that happened (both on the lead up to the wedding and on the day). We lost count of the number of times we were asked "Where did you find that musician?!"
The music was perfect for our day, and we especially loved the use of the harmonica in some of the songs. We won't miss a beat in recommending Tom to anyone looking for a wedding musician.
It was an absolute pleasure to have him involved in our special day! (We love ya Tom!)

Tom was an absolute dream to have as our wedding singer.
Professional, talented and an all-round great bloke. He was flexible with the songs, even learning some especially at our request, which he smashed!
His voice was great on the sound bites but even more epic in person. Everyone loved him. He really added to the ambience of our special day. 10/10 for Tom.
Would absolutely recommend to anyone wanting a guitarist / singer that is an all-round top bloke with bucket loads of talent. We have even passed his details on to guests / friends.
Thanks again Tom for being a part of our day and helping to make it so incredible!

The cherry on top of our day!
Tom was the musician for our ceremony & reception, and we couldn't have been more lucky to have him.
In the build up to the wedding he was in touch regularly to let us know if he had updated his repertoire with anything we might like, as well as checking in on anything we might need. We loved having his Spotify Playlist and played non-stop to help us choose our favourite songs for the day, we also played it at our Day 2!
Tom's flexibility & willingness to try any song led to some absolutely perfect moments on the day. His rendition of 'I Will' by The Beatles, which I walked down the aisle to, is now my favourite version and I'll never forget it.
His closing song was 'Say A Little Prayer' which my husband & I got a private moment to dance to in the sunshine, it was unforgettable!
Every one of our guests commented on Tom and how brilliant he was, I couldn't recommend him enough for any wedding - he has something for everyone!!!

Tom was an absolute delight to have a part of our wedding experience from start to finish.
From the moment of booking Tom sent us a list of his extensive repertoire for us to select which songs we would like to feature in our wedding day. We thoroughly enjoyed working through these and found it very difficult to whittle our choices down, everything we could have wanted was there! Added to that Tom took the effort to learn and beautifully perform three extra song choices for us.
Tom's communication has been brilliant and thorough throughout, making the effort to have a zoom catch up prior and being just a generally really cool and lovely guy!
All our guests commented on how excellent Toms music was and for us it certainly helped create the relaxed, happy, outdoorsy vibe we wanted for our day.
We highly recommend Tom for your wedding day! :-)

Made our music dreams come true.
Tom was the best supplier we hired for our wedding (and we had 12)!
He was so flexible when I changed the playlist about 12 times. He learned multiple songs for free. He was so kind and played flawlessly. All of our guests were in awe.
I was almost brought to tears because of how magical it was to hear all my favourite songs sung live. I cannot recommend him enough.
Yolanda & Alex
Amazing musician!
Couldn't fault a thing with Tom. From start to finish he has been amazing at communication and was so warm and easy to talk with. By the time I met him on the wedding day I felt like we were friends!
His performances were just perfect and made the ceremony nothing short of magical. Highly recommend to any couple wishing for a musician who will deliver impeccable service!

Thomas has a very empathetic and gentle nature about him which means he takes all of the stress out of dealing with a wedding supplier.
He’s kind, helpful and supportive and more than willing to try different things and learn new songs if needed.
But the real two reasons we chose Thomas were:
- He has a beautiful voice
- He has a brilliant taste in music which matched ours
From folk and classics of the 1960s and 1970s to modern alternative / indie singer-songwriter he sings with great passion and energy. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a great acoustic musician to complement their wedding or event.
Thanks so much again Thomas!

Tom was the absolute perfect addition to our laid back, garden wedding and we can't thank him enough for the perfect vibe and beautiful sounds that he added to our day.
His repertoire of songs is so extensive and there is plenty of choice for your perfect playlist - too much choice if anything (a good problem to have!). Tom learnt a special song for us and played it so beautifully.
We will always look back on our day so fondly and Tom's music was a big factor in making our day all that we could have hoped for. All communication with Tom before the wedding, during and after the wedding has been lovely, very quick to respond to any queries and just an overall pleasure to deal with. We hope to see you again in the future :)

The best decision we made!
Firstly, we would summarise our experience with Tom as perfect from start to finish. We’ve highlighted the reasons below but if you want a top line summary then there you go.
Pre-wedding:
We found Tom on hitched, having trawled through countless websites trying to find the right singer. Music was a very important part of our day so we needed it to fit with what our vision for the day was.
We were amazed at the depth of Tom’s repertoire, with an excellent selection of songs spanning multiple decades (50s through to 2020s). His package also offers some off repertoire songs too, so we actually found it hard to whittle it down if anything, with the selection available.
Once we contacted Tom, he was quick to respond, offering a Zoom meeting or in person if we were close by. We discussed the logistics of the day and he was kind enough to help us with our ceremony structure (as he too had a humanist ceremony). This was incredibly helpful as we were constructing our own ceremony with a family member as a celebrant, so his help was reassuring and appreciated greatly. Shortly after our discussion, Tom sent us a spreadsheet to select our songs and requests, so that he could start to draw together a set list. He was accommodating with some challenging requests (walking down the aisle to Lovin’ you by Minnie Ripperton) and completely surpassed our expectations. You could tell throughout that Tom really wanted to get these right for us.
In the weeks prior to the wedding, Tom showed a great deal of diligence, making sure that we had thought about certain logistical steps to make our woodland ceremony a success. There were certain things Tom brought to our attention that we wouldn’t have otherwise thought about. He was proactive in checking through the ceremony schedule to get timings right which was great in busy build up to the wedding. One less thing to worry about.
On the day:
We chose Tom’s ceremony and reception package, from when guests took their seats through to the wedding feast. His music within the setting of our woodland wedding was simply beautiful. It set the tone for our day perfectly and made it feel even more special and personal, as he sang our favourite songs that he’d learnt for us. His voice is gorgeous and everyone was captivated as he played. After the ceremony, he played around 90mins throughout our canapé reception, creating an atmosphere that felt like a summer festival in the 70s!
We can’t express how happy we were to have Tom play at our wedding. We knew he’d be totally perfect but he blew us away with his incredible voice, kindness and care. He embraced our vision and brought it to life and the music was a huge part of our day and a fantastic lasting memory.
Thank you Tom!

Tom was not only lovely and very talented but was so committed to providing a really special and bespoke set of songs for our wedding day.
He designed his playlist based on our preferences, even learning two of our favourite songs that he hadn’t heard before.
His set was perfect for after the ceremony, providing beautiful entertainment for the guests and the perfect ambience between the ceremony and the meal.
One of the highlights of the day for me was dancing with my friends during his rendition of my favourite Florence and the Machine song.
I would recommend him in a flash!
