Jon always appreciates feedback, if you have recently hired him please send your testimonial to info@jonhickmanmusic.co.uk
Jon was exactly what we wished for on our wedding day. Everything from booking him in, to his performance on the day was just perfect. We have had so many of our guests say how he made the day even better.
Thanks again Jon!

Jon Hickman performed for us at our Golden Wedding Anniversary party last year. Jon not only looked the part but his choice of music was just right for the occasion and everyone appreciated his relaxed "jazz" style, including the retired chief music examiner for a well-known London Music College! I was impressed not only by his classy tasteful style of playing and singing but by the fact that he arrived early and just got on with what he had to do with no fuss, in fact he was most helpful on the day, which allowed us to focus on what we needed to do so the evening ran smoothly.
I would recommend him most highly to anyone

Jon performed at our wedding back in August and couldn’t have been better! Everyone commented on how amazing his voice and piano playing was. He made the process really simple for me whilst planning, I chose a few songs and he took it away! Was really easy to get hold of if I ever needed anything and read the room on the day. Every single song was a hit with all my guests. Thanks so much Jon!!

Hi Jon, I just wanted to say thank you again for making my 50 birthday party such a fantastic night. We had many great comments from guests about your voice and playing as well as your great repertoire. Above all you were polite, professional and knowledgeable. I look forward to finding an excuse to invite you back for another party sometime in the future. I hope you got back ok on Saturday night.

“Hi Jon! Just wanted to say a massive thank you for your performance last week. We had such a special day from start to finish, and you were a massive highlight for us both. Your performance of Songbird absolutely blew our guests away, we were so thankful to have you there for our ceremony! Hopefully see you again some day!”

Jon played for our wedding ceremony this year and it’s safe to say that he absolutely smashed it! All our guests commented how beautiful and fitting Jon’s performance was, and I can quite easily say that he really made the moment that more special. We also had Jon perform throughout the rest of the day, and all of our guests kept asking where we found him! Thanks so much Jon!!

“I hired Jon to play some songs for my fiancee when I proposed to her and he was amazing. Played songs that we loved, plus also learnt our favourite song! Was very helpful in planning and arranging it and was very charismatic! Also he was very well-priced and affordable! Thanks again! :D”

“We invited Jon back to my home to play at my birthday party recently, having so enjoyed him playing at a party I held at my home last year. Jon is the composite professional making the set up of the arrangement easy and timely. A charming and engaging man, he is responsive to ensuring the music suits what you want to experience at the party. He is more than happy to accommodate participation (after a few glasses, two of us rather bravely, and incompetently, picked up guitars to play along with him and we enjoyed some good hearted singing by my guests).He was punctual, arriving well in time to set up in time for the start of the party. Will definitely have Jon back again.”
Guy Dunlop (2022)
“Jon performed for a small gathering at my home around Christmas time. It was a surprise for my friends and Jon did not disappoint. Firstly to say, he was truly professional in all my dealings with him, finding out exactly what was needed to make the evening a success. Secondly his performance was outstanding. He read the mood and the flow of the evening and made sure everyone had a great time. We even gave him short notice of a couple of songs to learn, which he did fabulously well. Make sure you book this young talented man for any event you are having. A truly terrific find!”

“Hi Jon, I just wanted to drop you a message to say thank you very much for your performance yesterday at our wedding, you were one of the most memorable parts of the day for the both of us and all the guests commented as no one knew there was live music. Thanks for setting up, performing and clearing away all without any hassle which also helped the day run stress free.”

So many people came up to us and said how fantastic you were, and how it felt like you were part of our family for the couple of hours you were with us! Everyone had a great time and Nina and I thought it was a perfect way to end our day of celebration. Best wishes, Michael & Nina x”

“We booked Jon through his website for a Christmas party and we were very impressed by his performance. He is an excellent singer and he is a great artist. He has an amazing voice and repertoire. He is friendly and personable, which made him easy to work with and we would not hesitate to recommend him and/or book him again!”

“Jon was outstanding! His performance at Libby and Tim’s wedding was all that we were hoping for, and more than we had dreamed of. It would be no exaggeration to say that his contribution to the day was a very large part of what made it so magical. He had the whole room singing along, and the atmosphere that he helped to create was truly memorable.”

“Jon has entertained at our events a number of times with great success. Our guests are always very complementary about his voice and style, we will continue to invite Jon to perform. Highly recommended.”
Sherif (2017)
“Hi Jon I wanted to send an email to say a huge thank you for being so brilliant on Thursday. We absolutely loved cocktail hour and your set was fantastic above and beyond what we imagined. So thank you. And we loved our first dance and appreciate you sending us the track so we could rehearse. Thanks again, Susannah x“
Tim and Suzannah (2017)
“I would like to thank Jon Hickman for the outstanding performance at our wedding ceremony. His voice and keyboard made me emotional from the very first note. I struggled to hold myself together, in fact I blame him for me turning into an emotional wreck lol and I’m the groom. His voice and whole demeanour is of a true professional. I had only heard Jon on the internet and to be totally honest he is better live. Everyone was blown away by his performance especially myself and my bride. I would highly recommend Jon to anyone who wants a true top class artist to make their occasion or special day one for everyone to remember. A definite 10/10.”
Paul & Lesley (2017)
“Just wanted to drop you a quick note to say a huge thank you for providing the most amazing music during our reception… and of course, the absolute highlight of the day, for singing our favourite song at the start of our ceremony – you had both Matt and I in tears!! Our only regret is not recording your performance… it would have been a great keep sake – so If you ever perform it again, we would love to get a recording!”
Wayne P (2017)
“We had booked Jon for a family event in December 2015, and were very pleased to book him for my son’s wedding. He played the right mix of music, and everyone thoroughly enjoyed it. I have been asked for contact details for him several times already and have been more than happy to pass on.”
Michelle R (sept 2016)
“Thank you for playing and singing at our wedding! You were brilliant and we had so many compliments about you, we hope you had a great Christmas and best wishes for 2017!”
Richard and Michelle Fawcett (2016)
“I just wanted to say thank you so so much for making our wedding evening so perfect. You did an absolutely fantastic job and we have received many positive comments from our guests as well as the venue managers also. I don’t think there was ever a point when nobody was dancing, so you did a great job to keep the energy flowing in The Vean.”
Jo & Mike Cornwell (2016)
“Thank You so very much for providing the reception music on our wedding day! Your piano playing was brilliant and it was such lovely music to have as part of our reception. The selection of music you sang was exactly what we wanted and we had so many guests comment on how having a Jazz vocal pianist was such a lovely idea.”
Sophia Jones (2016)
“Having you play at our wedding reception and first dance enriched the day for us and all our guests. The amount of people offering positive comments about your vocals during the day were endless. A good icebreaker whilst I met members of family I had never met before…. The piano and your voice made the day special for us and we can’t thank you enough. The Ed Sheeran covers you did still stick in my memory and I remember me and my best men commenting your personal touch to the songs made them better than the original. Thanks again – hope to have you again sometime and will recommend to anyone!”
Andre & Christiana (2015)
“Jon’s performance was fantastic. He exceeded my expectations, I particularly liked that he was willing to (and did) play some songs I had requested which were not on his set list. He has a wonderful voice and created exactly the kind of relaxed, feel-good atmosphere I wanted. A lot of our guests commented on how good he was.”
Ray Moore (2015)
“Jon was excellent! Right choice of music, right sound level. Many of our guests commented on how good Jon was.”
Carolyn M (2015)
“Jon is an incredibly talented musician and a safe pair of hands as entertainment at any event. All of our guests loved his performance at our wedding. His tinkling of the ivories and dulcet tones added a supremely classy touch to proceedings. Professional and diligent throughout, we would highly recommend Jon.”
Katy and Olly (2014)
“We just want to say thank you so much, you really made our day! You were absolutely brilliant and everyone thought so! It was perfect, I just wish I had got to hear more of you play! It really set the tone during the meal, your Christmas repertoire is superb and got everyone feeling really Christmassy. It wouldn’t have been the same without you there, you created a lovely atmosphere, you are extremely talented and have such a lovely smooth voice to listen to.”
