Just a short note to thank you again for the performance at the Swan. Everyone was enchanted – not too strong a word; including one of my son’s friends, who said: “This morning I didn’t even know there was such a thing as a madrigal, and now I not only know, but I know I like them too!” That counts as a great success!

 

The programme worked well – enough madrigals for me (and I did appreciate the Vautor ‘Mother I will have a husband’!) and enough other stuff for those less interested. Interestingly, the individual comments all seemed to favour different pieces, from the Morley to the Vautor, from ‘Blue Moon’ to ‘Beside the Seaside’. And there’s always someone who has sung ‘The Silver Swan’, and looks back with pleasure.

 

So thank you again. I knew I wanted something special; I just didn’t expect to get so much.

A very big thank you to you all for a truly superb performance on Saturday in St Mary’s Church, Rye. Your musical talent made the ancient walls, of the Cathedral of East Sussex, tremble with joy, as your harmonies soared into the rafters! At the reception, following the service, the heartfelt compliments from the congregation were no less than euphoric. Behind the scenes, the preparation and stage management of the event was excellent.

 

My father would have been very thankful for the wonderful emotion you brought to his memorial.

I sought a wow, show stopping performance of three Arias accompanied by a brilliant young pianist. I did not get it. Instead I witnessed an extraordinary and outstanding master class in how to deliver a double-wow, mind-blowing performance!

 

It is not possible to thank you sufficiently. All anyone is talking about this morning is the book launch and Mayfair Mints – mission accomplished!

Mayfair Mints are THE group you want for your occasion. Why? They sing beautifully and make your life easier so you can concentrate on what matters most.

 

Firstly, Leonora provided swift and clear responses to all enquires. She supported with organisation between all musical parties involved and helped source the music we asked for. This really helped me whilst I was amidst a busy work schedule. It also took the pressure off other areas of organisation at an emotional time.

 

Secondly, the group sang beautifully and their balance is remarkable. It made the occasion so much more moving. It was so good that numerous people commented on how much they contributed to the atmosphere and some left testimonials on the website unprompted by me.

 

Professional from the outset, organised, and sang beautifully. Would 100% recommend.

Will, family member,
private funeral

“I recently went to a friend’s funeral in the Midlands. Someone, who became very close to me while I taught her the delights of modern technology – she was in her nineties and a very patient lady. The funeral service was delightful and I am sure just what Anne would have wanted. God bless her.

 

I can only say that I was bowled over by the choral activity by the Mayfair Mints who were there on the day. Absolutely fantastic. Extremely beautiful singing and all beautifully turned out. Extremely professional!! I shall certainly be asking them to perform at my last 2 (of 3) daughters wedding services in the not too distant future. I highly, highly recommend them!!”

Peter, funeral guest

“Just wanted to say a massive thanks to the Mayfair Mints for coming in this week to kick off December for us. We loved it!

What a brilliant sound the group had and a great selection of carols, both traditional and some jazzier numbers which all went down a treat. Certainly lifted spirits on an otherwise uneventful Monday morning.

 

I’ve been hearing great things from staff as well who very much enjoyed the choice of festive outfits you all donned!”

“The Mayfair Mints provided a real ‘wow’ factor at our wedding. Many people commented afterwards that it was one of their favourite parts of the day.

We decided to keep their performance a surprise and our guests loved it when they performed their bespoke piece – it fitted seamlessly with our speeches and had everyone laughing – Leonora had really taken the time to understand us both.

They also did a few numbers numbers outside on the patio – we chose songs that were accessible to all our guests and it had a really lovely relaxed feel to it all. One of their songs was a cover of Ed Sheeran’s Perfect – to which we had an unplanned, ‘unofficial’ first dance – and that was one of my favourite parts of the wedding.”

Lorien, bride

“I was delighted to speak to the Mayfair Mints before my friends’ wedding and to feed into a personal song for the brides. Leonora put me at ease on the phone and asked me useful questions.

The personal ‘surprise’ song worked amazingly on the day! It was so funny, thoughtful, intimate and unique! The guests were taken aback and it really made the day. The brides loved it!

Mayfair Mints are highly professional, amazing singers, quirky, funny, beautifully dressed and friendly. They sang other songs outside in the sunlight, which prompted the brides to have a spontaneous 1st dance – a very special moment for all to share.”

“Thanks for a superb performance! Daphne and I can’t believe how quickly you produced the bespoke serenades for each winner and how quickly the singers were able to deliver them in such a professional manner.

Your enthusiasm shines through and is infectious for the audience. A superb performance.”

Graham Rowan, Chairman,
the Elite Investor Club awards ceremony

“Superb ensemble. Delightful choice of music and a treat not to be missed.”

Lady Marion Field, gala event 

“I thoroughly enjoyed an evening with the Mayfair Mints! One minute I’m having a full belly laugh while the next I’m in tears with how beautiful the voice I’m hearing is and how the feeling of the song is being conveyed. The Mayfair Mints work perfectly together. I found them mesmerising from beginning to end.”

Scott Mooney, gala event

 

“Thank you for your beautiful song … and for your amazing skill to sing over the bells of St Paul’s Cathedral!”

Helen, bride

“Brilliant performance and an excellent singing group catering for a wide variety of musical tastes.”

Jennifer, dinner event guest

“Your singing was wonderfully moving – it transformed the occasion!”

Lucinda, wedding guest

“I really don’t know where to start. Almost every single person I have talked to has raved about ‘the choir’ and the singing and several are professional musicians. My Mother said, as soon as you started and she was ‘amazed by the singing’, she knew the service would be fine, and so she just sat back and was soothed by it. The hour seemed to pass quickly but also with a beautiful, still slowness, I thought, from such intense listening.

A musician friend of mine wrote to me this evening: ‘I thought the service was wonderful. I didn’t know your father well but I felt I did by the end of that hour. I was blown away by the choir. What an INCREDIBLE sound. I just loved the way they really went for it. It felt like there were no boundaries and that the universe was within those four walls.’

So thank you very very much. The music really did make the day for me and was such a perfect way of remembering and celebrating Dad.”

Edwina, memorial service and afternoon tea

“We could not have been happier with the music at our wedding. Our insightful consultations with Leonora in the run-up to the big day were a testament to her depth and breadth of experience – she advised us brilliantly on everything from musical arrangements and logistics, right down to which versions of which hymns would suit our guests! She came up with ideas which would never have even occurred to us.

The result was a musical triumph which moved many in our guests to tears, and was commented on repeatedly during and long after the wedding day. It meant so much to us – and to me especially – to have a beautiful wedding ceremony surrounded by stunning music.

Thank you Mayfair Mints!”

Hester, bride

“Thank you for your wonderful singing”

Adam, groom

“We loved your performance and thought you were all very talented. Beautiful singing.”

Chris and Patricia, party guests
