all things adamTHOMAS

I have just uploaded a few new ‘adamTHOMAS covers’ to my MySpace (www.MySpace.com/adamthomasofficial) and ReverbNation (www.ReverbNation.com/adamthomas) profiles.

If you have time, please take a listen and let me know your thoughts!

Should I be doing this sort of material more often? Or should I stay with what is more well known? What’s your favourite? And worst? Any opinion is very much appreciated!

Thank you and take care, Adam x

"Adam and Sarah were absolutely FANTASTIC!!!! The entertainment was superb and you really helped to make our day very special! Everyone said how great you were, even Steve's Dad!!! The support provided by Sarah in the run up, putting up with all of our questions, was well above and beyond the call of duty and we would highly recommend you to anyone!

Thank you again!

Steve & Nicola Rimes"

"Absolutely 100% would recommend - and have done so to everyone!

The first thing all of our guests mention when they see us is how fabulous the entertainment was. The mix of Arabic and Western music worked so much better than we thought it would and that is down to your ability to judge the audience.

The mix of music in the live sets was just perfect and no-one wanted it to end.

We cannot express how grateful we are for making our day so special. Thank you.

Emma and Adam Talla"

"I am so so pleased we found you at a Wedding Fayre at Bosworth hall. You made our Wedding Day so special and memorable. You made our first dance possible. Our guests still talk about it now!

The music was amazing especially Adam's sets. He interacted with our guests and made Andy and I feel very special.

I have recommended you to many people and I think some of them have booked you for their forth coming weddings!

We are looking forward to seeing you again at the Snow Ball in December.

Hope we can keep in touch to attend more of your events as we are big fans of your music.

Take care and thanks again

"We loved Adam. Pretty much all of our guests made the effort to tell us how good they thought he was, and ours was a tough crowd because a lot of our friends and family are really musical. Sarah was friendly and helpful which was very reassuring. We were a really laid back bride and groom and it really helped that Adam/Sarah were prepared to make decisions about when to start, when to have the first dance etc on our behalf! It really helped. We would recommend you to a friend!

Thanks so much for everything

Sarah and Chris Cox"

"(Please also see our Facebook feedback.) Lee and I would have NO hesitation in recommending you to friends and family you were excellent. Best wishes for the future. Xxx Louise & Lee Clarke"

"Both Adam and Sarah provided us with a truly outstanding service throughout our Wedding planning and the Big Day. We met Sarah during a fayre at Welford Road (Leicester Tigers) and were so impressed by her approachable, friendly manner as well as the impressive promotional info, we decided to stay and watch Adam perform. My Husband loves to sing and was particularly impressed by Adam's voice.

Once at home we immediately checked out the website. It's professional and exciting layout convinced us further to book Adam and so that was exactly what we did, despite his services being almost double our budget! From then on in we checked the website regularly and were inspired by the updated contemporary tunes. I started receiving Sarah's blog a little late in my planning but I found it informative and refreshing to read, and I loved the way it was written.

As I mentioned earlier, my husband likes to sing so he had organised with Sarah and Adam to do a little surprise singing himself. Although he only got in touch with Sarah a week before our Wedding to arrange this, he says they were both very easy-going and accommodated his needs with no question.

Our Wedding Day ran so much better than we could ever have imagined and Adam and Sarah played a huge part in this. The effort put in by Adam on the night went over and above our expectations and our friends and family have been singing his praises ever since; excuse the pun!

Worth every penny. Xx

"Fab, Fab n more fab!! Brilliant all round entertainer and I have already passed his details to my friend who is getting married next year. I would def recommend him to anyone who is having any sort of party, wedding etc.

The support from you both is fantastic from start to finish. I also think the news letters you send are mega useful, pointing out ideas that a 1st time bride perhaps wouldn't have thought of.

I’m thinking of having a big bash for my 40th next year so watch this space for my next booking with you.

Thanks again for making our day so special and for the help with the first dance!

I have recently started sending out surveys to past brides and clients looking for some feedback on everything that I do: from the set up to the performance, the equipment to our service, I really want to know which things are well received and which things need improvement! The only thing is... I forgot that I had sent them out and I didn't set up my poll to email me when someone had completed a survey!!! Duh!! :)

So imagine my surprise when I already had lots of responses (with testimonials as well I might add) sitting there in an inbox somewhere waiting for dippy old me to collect them! (I have now set up the system to email me!)

My next surprise after all this hoo-ha was the content of the responses themselves! I was a little nervous at first, I must be honest: we entertainer types don't take criticism very well, darling! :P But, that said, I had to remember the reason that I’d sent them out in the first place and that was to get an honest assessment of the service that we provide. So here goes...

·         40% of my brides believe that local wedding fayres are 'Super Dooper Useful!' and a surprising 40% think that National Wedding Shows (NEC & Earls Court) are 'Not Useful At All!'

·         Cosmopolitan Bride and You and Your Wedding are the most popular wedding reads.

·         89% of brides were influenced by the ‘Quality of Work’ and 70% were swayed by the ‘Music’ styles that I perform!

·         60% believe that Live Wedding Fayre Performances influenced their decision to book my services.

·         40% of brides had a set budget for entertainment… ‘until Adam came along!’

·         70% of brides believe that the overall performance was ‘Beyond Expectations’ (the remaining 30% labelled it “spot on”.)

·         And, looking back at their wedding day, 50% of brides rated ‘Transport’ and ‘Wedding Planner’ as ‘Not Important At All’ Oh Dear!

I will also be adding all the testimonials taken from this survey to my blog page at www.adamTHOMASonline.co.uk.

(You can see the official survey results by clicking on the photos tabs below)

Thank you to all my wonderful couples for your time and, more importantly, for letting me be a part of your special day.

Any questions and/or feedback is much apprciated!
