I was hanging on my friend’s words that he was good and certainly lived up to it! He played some amazing tunes and certainly knew how to get the party going and everyone (including my Nan) up dancing!

We had the absolute pleasure of having Nick James perform at our wedding, and we couldn’t have asked for more. From the very beginning, Nick’s communication was excellent - he was so helpful in putting together a playlist that perfectly reflected our music tastes.
On the day, he was nothing short of incredible. Nick performed two amazing sets, and the energy he brought filled the dance floor all night. My wife and I love dancing together, and sharing that joy with our friends to Nick’s music was easily one of our favourite parts of the day.
Nick is a true one-man band with the sound and energy of a full band. We honestly can’t recommend him highly enough - thank you, Nick, for making our day so special.
— James and Tara Brookes
Thank you so much for playing our wedding reception. We were very excited when we booked you after listening to some of your clips and you exceeded our expectations. I for one did not get off the dance floor all night as it was too good to leave. If anyone is looking for a great, personable guy who keeps the party going, then look no further than Nick James!

Nick James and Chamberlain Events smashed it! What. A. Party!
