Thank you for sharing your amazing voice and music with us to create a warm and relaxed atmosphere for our guests at our wedding. We enjoyed the way you could react to the crowd with the various songs and took the crowd from relaxed drinks by the water to wild dancing and singing throughout the evening. We thank you for your fantastic performance, kind patience and thoughtful and relaxed nature with our guests. Thanks a million times Michael!

"My wife and I were married at Mt Uncles Distillery in Walkamin. We had the absolute pleasure of having Michael Thomas play an acoustic set at our reception. Our brief was to create a relaxed, chilled out and fun atmosphere and he nailed this request completely. The feedback from all our guests marvelled at his musical talent and the songs he played. Michael was very professional, punctual and easy to talk to when placing the booking and on the day of our wedding. Thank you Michael for being a part of our special day and making it the success that it was. You have our highest recommendation. Matt & Bec, Atherton Tablelands wedding

Michael thanks heaps for such a great night! Everyone loved it and commented on how good you were. Definitely my type of music !! Will certainly recommend you for sure and hope you are still singing for my 50th!! Brydie, Cairns 40th Birthday Party
I found Michael online and within 24 hours of asking for pricing and an idea of what I was after we were booked in. Competively priced, fantastic music, had everyone raving about him for a week after saying the live music really made the night. Quick set up, casual guy with no stress or fuss. Music was laid back and suited everyone with a mix of new and old. Would definitely use again and would recommend in a heart beat. Anna, Redlynch 30th Birthday Party
