Any equipment can be provided at an additional cost if required.Rhys Tolhurst absolutely made our night for my 30th birthday party. The songs he played and the way he sang really set the tone for my event. He was very engaging with our guests and so accommodating with various requests.He has an incredible voice and we were extremely pleased with is performance.
I also want to thank Paul from Unplugged Entertainment as he was very responsive with my questions and I am so thankful that he recommended Rhys.
Thank you so much!Hanna Heuzinkveld
Rhys was absolutely amazing! He played for our ceremony and canapes at our wedding and blew us away. Paul was amazing to organise everything with and was so flexible and helpful. We had lots of comments from guests about the beautiful mood that Rhys created for our special day. The portal was fabulous to get all of our ideas and wants across to Rhys and the phone call before the big day was great to get to know him as well as run through everything - it helped us feel really comfortable and trusting for the ceremony and canapes! Thanks so much Rhys and Paul!
Stephanie S
Rhys was great, had my staff up and dancing early in the night and kept them going through to close. Thanks again guys.
Heath Nankervis
We had Rhys Tolhurst perform acoustic and DJ on the night of our wedding. Rhys also did MCing for the night and he was spectacular ! We had so many comments from our guests about how amazing he was and we agree! We also found the process of booking and setting up the portal very user friendly :) We highly recommend Unplugged Entertinment!
Adam Fegan
We booked Rhys for the ceremony and canapé hour, and he was absolutely incredible! We’ve had many of our guests tell us that he had people in tears well before the ceremony had started thanks to his amazing voice!
Morsal B
Unplugged Entertainment and Rhys were phenomenal at our wedding, thank-you!!! Leighton, Unplugged Managing Director, was fantastic to deal with, quickly replying to emails/questions and providing clear information that helped us plan our special day. Rhys sang acoustically at our ceremony/cocktail hour/during dinner before getting everyone up on the dancefloor as a DJ. We had so many guests comment on how wonderful Rhys was and how great the dancefloor atmosphere was. We could not recommend them enough.
Emily Dalton
Rhys made our night very special and also read the room well - he was very adaptable and was coordinating with us a lot on the day of the event. Everyone enjoyed the choice of songs when he DJ’d and were impressed by his live performances. He put a lot of work in making a cover for our wedding dance too. All the best and more power to your team at unplugged!
Val Villa
We booked Rhys and Sarah for my wife's 40th party with 60+ guests. Rhys and Sarah read the room really well and adjusted their set to suit what guests were doing at the time - from lay back tunes whilst people were mingling to dancing and sing-alongs once guests started to let their hair down. Cannot recommend Unplugged Entertainment or Rhys and Sarah highly enough.
Mark Forster
We booked Rhys for the ceremony and canapé hour, and he was absolutely incredible! We’ve had many of our guests tell us that he had people in tears well before the ceremony had started thanks to his amazing voice!
Given it was a mixed-culture wedding, we wanted both English and Afghan music to be played so it was important to us to have a DJ who was able to seamlessly go between the two. We spoke to Marc a few times in the lead up who helped us organise how to go about the music and on the day Karl had everyone up and dancing no matter what language the song was in! He did an awesome job of it! We’d highly recommend Unplugged Entertainment to anyone!
Thanks again
Morsal + AaronMorsal Bashir
We booked Rhys T for our wedding via Unplugged Entertainment. He did acoustic throughout the day and evening, then switched to DJ for the dancefloor part. Rhys was incredible - so professional, lovely and talented. And Paul from Unplugged was a pleasure to work with from beginning to end, always keeping us informed and guiding us along the way. Very highly recommend them!
Courtney G
Rhys - wow there are not enough words to describe him! He is crazy talented, funny, kind and he made our wedding so special. We are eternally grateful for everything he did. He sounded phenomenal when singing and playing guitar and his DJ and loop skills are beyond amazing! We could not have had a more perfect musician!
Thank you for letting us book Rhys and for all of your help along the way ☺️Jacqui F.
Rhys is a fantastic artist and a great vibe.
Everyone couldn't stop complimenting Rhys' talent.
If you're hesitant, don't be. Lock these guys in you won't regret it.Roy
