I cannot thank you enough! Jake was absolutely fantastic and created an amazing atmosphere at our wedding. We are so grateful for your recommendation and your help throughout the planning process for our wedding. Jake Folbigg performed at our wedding ceremony and reception. He was great to work with and was able to play all the songs we requested. He has a great repertoire and lovely coastal acoustic sound. We are so glad Jake was able to play at our wedding and would highly recommend him.

Thank you for the opportunity to say how much we absolutely loved having Jake Folbigg perform at our wedding. I asked if Jake might be able to learn a song with personalised lyrics that I had written. I initially thought this might be asking a bit too much, but Jake did the most amazing job and it was an absolute highlight of our ceremony. We had so many comments from guests who loved the song and the way Jake sang it. We were meant to be signing our marriage certificate while he sang it but we just wanted to listen to him because he did an awesome job (he had to play an extra song to fill time so we could do what we were meant to be doing after haha). We can’t say how much we appreciate the time and effort he put into learning it for us. We also loved having him at the reception where he helped to set a relaxed and happy mood for the evening.
To sum up, Jake added so much to our day and was professional while also being personal. Thank you so much for pointing us in Jake’s direction and for coordinating and organising it all. We would highly recommend Jake and EAO without any reservations.
Laura and Andrew Le Bas | Wedding Ceremony & Reception | 48 Watt Street | December 2018
We LOVED Jake – he’s a 12 out of 10 performance! And genuinely a lovely person. We will definitely use him again for future events. The vibe of the evening was fantastic and everyone had a wonderful time. Many of our customers commented on Jake’s performance and how great he was. Thanks again for organising!
Nicole Ritchie | Customer Appreciation Weekend | Jayco Newcastle | October 2018
It was so nice to have Jake be apart of the best day of our lives. He absolutely nailed it! He totally got our vibe for the day and everyone commented on how good he was.
Megan Huber | Wedding | October 2018
We had a lot of great feedback from our guests who all really enjoyed him. Jake was very accommodating with our requests & interacted really well with our guests. We would highly recommend him to anyone considering entertainment for their wedding or reception. Other than that we found the booking process pretty straight-forward & we don’t really have any suggestions for improvement.
Dan & Marnie | Wedding Ceremony | 2014
Just wanted to let you know Jake was absolutely awesome! He completely made the night! Everyone was up dancing, and wanted to keep dancing well into the early hours of the morning. We have had people say to us it was the best wedding they have ever been too. Jake played a huge part in this, he read to crowd so well. Please pass on my thanks to him, he was the absolute best thing we picked for the reception. I also voted for EAO Entertainment and Jake in the ABIA awards (Australian Bridal Industry Academy) voting for both at 100% perfect! Thanks again for helping make our day so special!
