Hi Ben,

Just a quick note to say thanks so much for Saturday. Everyone on the day and since have said how great you were and nice to have live music playing while we were drinking and eating. Thanks for playing an encore, I know you had another gig to get too so it was much appreciated. Also for letting us use your mic.

We had the best day and you being there and playing your music really made it a day to remember.

We'd definitely recommend you to any of our friends and family getting married or having a party.

Hopefully we'll get to see you play again.

All the best

Hi Ben,

Thanks so much for doing the music, you guys were absolutely fantastic. Had a number of people say how great the band were. Also thanks soo much for learning Jack Savoretti, was the highlight of the evening.. I've never heard a cover of that song before and it sounded absolutely superb.. If you ever get the chance to record it in any way, please let me know.. :)

Anyway hopefully get to see you guys at a function soon.

cheers

Hi Ben,


They were absolutely amazing, so many people approached me to comment on how good they were and to ask for the band’s name!


Their rendition of the Harry Potter theme tune upon entrance made it spectacular and it was very sweet of them to provide the Harry Potter soundtrack music afterwards.


Thank you again for being so accommodating and I’m so glad I chose The Blue Suede Shoes for my party - all the best to you and the band also!


Kind regards,

Zoe

Hello Ben and Ben,
Thank you both SO MUCH for donating your services to Hydon Hill yesterday evening. As usual the music was perfect - top quality, entertaining, unobtrusive, responsive to the event. We heard lots of complimentary comments.
I haven't heard yet how much was raised for the residents' garden and associated projects, but it was clear that Hydon Hill got a lot out of the event and it was great to have the local community involved in helping.
Hope your gigs went well today, and look forward to seeing you again soon!

Hi Ben,

Thank you so much for those clips and your kind words.

You were absolutely fantastic, exactly what we wanted and more. Your style suited our event perfectly and we have had lots of compliments about you. Thank you also for staying on and making all the iPad stuff work. Can't believe how easily you just set up and played! I know you do it all the time but it impressed me immensely!

I'm glad you were looked after food and drink wise, I did reiterate to one of the staff that you guys must have everything that's on offer!

Thank you so much again, we were so happy with how good you guys were.

Best wishes,
Anna and Tom

Thank you, Ben!

The band had an excellent sound! Many guests commented on that. Online videos do not do justice to your band. And thank you for doing Sweet Dreams, loved it :)

Thank you for the lovely wishes. We'll be following you on the music front!

Everything about this Group is utterly fabulous, from easy communication and arrangements ahead of the event, to no-fuss setting-up and easy mingling amongst friends. They sound incredible, (seriously, if you're in any doubt about guaranteeing a fabulous night with a wide range of music - book these guys!) and the eclectic mix of music ensured that everybody got up to dance and enjoyed themselves. The lighting and general 'staging' also added to the occasion.

Thank you so much. You completely Rock!

The Blue Suede Shoes were amazing. With their professional and clear communication leading up to the day we knew we would be in safe hands. On the night they came in and set up without fuss and when the time came to play they really got our guests up and dancing. Their playlist is extensive and was enjoyed by all our guests. With their friendly and fun attitude we're so glad we had them to create the perfect soundtrack to our wedding reception.

Dear Ben, What a lovely evening I had and the music was a big part of it. Thank you so much to The Blue Suede Shoes for providing the music at my party. I have had some lovely comments today and everyone said how much they enjoyed the band. I thought you were fantastic and it was wonderful that you were able to work with Thierry to do the music for the dancing. With very best wishes, Alison

All the very best,

Winklepickers were a fantastic choice, we had just the two of them and it really made the night. They made such a lovely atmosphere and even with the two of them we had some persistent boogiers. People who are talented musicians themselves said they were excellent. They played all the favourites, and even learned a song just for us. Thank you Winklepickers!

We booked The Blue Suede Shoes as our wedding band after seeing some of their videos on YouTube and they did not disappoint. From the moment we emailed Ben right through to meeting him at our wedding celebration, he was fantastic. We were able to pick our favourite songs from a large set list & have our own wedding song that the band played for us. On the night, the band were brilliant and our guests commented on how good they were. They had people up dancing and singing along and it made our night. I would highly recommend them for any function, they were fun and entertaining and played exactly what we wanted on the night.

These guys made our wedding! I don't normally bother to submit reviews but I know how hard it is to choose the perfect band for your wedding and having been so thrilled with what Ben and the rest of the guys did for us, I felt compelled to write. We had the duo doing background before speeches and then the quartet with sax, to kick off the party. It was simply perfect for the occasion and our 110 guests unanimously agreed that they loved the band! The guys added our choice of first dance to their playlist, which was superb. It bridged the generational gap at our wedding perfectly, we filled the dance floor with 6 to 86 year olds - no mean feat. After the last set, Ben stayed on to let us use his disco playlist on his laptop, which also worked fabulously well. My wife and I'm sure 110 of our guests wouldn't hesitate to recommend this band. A massive thank you, you were a real highlight and also all great guys :-)

Rachel 10 Dec 2014

Hi Ben, You were fantastic & really helped to make the evening special for us. Next time (!) we won't give everyone so much food if we then expect them to dance!! Many thanks, Rachel.

The Blue Suede Shoes were the most perfect band for our wedding! Ben contacted me prior in the week running up to the wedding to make arrangements for the day and was most professional. The whole band arrived early and set up with ease. As soon as they started playing they had everyone on the dance floor. They created the perfect atmosphere for the evening and read the room perfectly to play the best songs and keep everyone dancing! All of our guests commented on the amazing music and how wonderfully the whole band played. We can’t thank them enough for making the day so special and we would highly recommend the whole band!

Matt & Kim Wickens 12 Oct 2014

We hired The Blue Suede Shoes for our wedding reception in May. We had already married abroad but wanted to have a larger gathering back in the UK where we could invite everyone. On the day we had about 150 people, from new-born's to a couple of ladies who were 90+. So the entertainment was quite important to get right.

We didn't know what we were looking for at first, we knew we wanted live music, but we had to cater for all tastes and ages. The Blue Suede Shoes were the first band that both my (new) wife and I agreed on instantly. Thankfully they were available, even though they are Surrey based they were willing to travel deep into Kent.

They have a generous play list to choose from, and even have a 'handbook' on their website with a few hints and tips about booking live music (not just restricted to weddings etc...). Importantly, they were willing to learn a couple of other tracks for us - one was our first dance and another was a Robbie Williams track which is one of my wife's favourites.

From the start of the booking process Ben was very informative, clear and helpful at every stage. He was easily contacted and able to offer advice where needed. On the day of the reception the band turned up early and started to set-up without any fuss. We had a family friend DJ-ing in the same area in the evening and by the time I'd come over to greet them they'd already sorted everything out themselves. Our reception was in a marquee outside and the weather alternated between strong sunshine and torrential rain. Even though the band had a set-list, they seemed to be able to play appropriate songs for the moment. Playing 'Ain't no sunshine when she's gone' in the middle of torrential rain made everyone laugh and kept peoples spirits up. The band were also happy to ad-lib a bit for the bridal entrance which was very much appreciated. They were great musicians, willing to interact with the guests and very friendly indeed.

We would recommend them without question, not just for a wedding but for any party or gathering that needed live music. They were loud enough to be heard, but not so loud that you had to shout over them. The music was perfect to sit and listen to, but energetic enough for many people to get up and dance or it and tap their feet to.

Thanks for helping to make or reception so memorable.

Hi Ben,

Thank you SO MUCH for playing at our wedding.

We loved your music and were especially impressed with your version of Counting Stars. You were all so friendly and we are so glad we discovered you. You helped make the atmosphere fun yet relaxed and that is exactly what we wanted. Plus you got everyone on the dancefloor and kept them there the whole night!

Wishing The Blue Suede Shoes the best of luck!

All the very best,

We hired The Blue Suede Shoes for our wedding in June 2014. We could not of been happier with the band. Not only did they put on an amazing show, they were extremely helpful, responsive and adaptable throughout the entire process. The initial information package was very clear regarding logistical requirements and gave us all the information the wedding venue required. In the months leading up to the wedding, The Blue Suede Shoes were very helpful anytime we had a question. On our wedding day, we pre-planned a general band play schedule, but with over-running dinner and speeches, that largely was discarded. The Blue Suede Shoes were very adaptable to our changing schedule. (They were so adaptable, they even brought the bass outside to the beach to help one of our friends who wanted to do a ukulele song at sunset!) The Blue Suede Shoes’ music was fantastic with a great range that all of our guests enjoyed. They also did a great job learning our first dance song. On whatever scale, The Blue Suede Shoes get top marks!

Katie & Luke 2 Jun 2014

Thanks to you both for playing last night. So many people came up to me during the evening to say just how much they were enjoying the music and how very good they thought you were.

Thank you both so much for providing a superb afternoon of music and entertainment - all of our guests loved you guys and we had some amazing feedback. And thanks for pursuing through the rain, then torrential rain and onto the sunshine - just in time for a bit of Mr Marley too. I hope to be able to watch you play again some day soon... Take care and thanks again.

Thank you so much for being so fabulous! You really were awesome and we've had so many good comments from everybody saying how great you were. I've told you before about how I knew you'd be great. Well...you blew my expectations out of the water! I did not in my wildest dreams think that you would have such an effect on everyone. Some people who I just did not expect to see dancing were up there all night! It just could not have been better! I only wish we could have that night back! I don't know how to say thank you! You were just the best wedding band ever!!

Hi Ben. Sorry for late response, just got back from our Scottish honeymoon (and now back to reality, sadly.....). Thanks SO much for everything - you were fantastic both in the lead up and on the night. Everyone kept asking for the name of the band so look out for future bookings. Even my Irish cousin said it was the best wedding band she'd heard - so you may well get a Tipperary booking!

Hi Ben,

Not sure if I got the chance to say thanks and goodbye last night, such a whirlwind of a day!!!
Me and the 'wife' would like to say thanks so much, we were so pleased with the entertainment you supplied.
I'm pretty sure all the guests had a great time too.

You will certainly get our recommendations and hope the drive home was ok and you didn't get home too late.

Thanks again Ben
We loved every minute of it

Krissy and Mike 18 Sept 2013

We booked The Blue Suede Shoes as a duo for an early evening slot in our festival style wedding & they didn't disappoint. Ben was very good to deal with from the outset & made us very comfortable in the choice we made.
The double bass is superb and the lead singers voice is exceptional - many of the guests commented to me about it.
Next time I'll have to see the full band line up!
Thanks again for help make wedstock a day for us to remember.

Krissy & Mike

We really want to thank The Blue Suede Shoes for being such a great band for our wedding on 3rd August. They are truly excellent musicians and performers. The lead singer can really sing and each member of the band has real talent. They quickly got people up and dancing and they made the party for us. They also managed to appeal to all of the different generations and they mainly played well known, feel good songs which everyone liked (they also weren't too cheesy, however!). The first dance song we requested (Faith no more, This Guy's in Love with You) was a fantastic cover. The Blue Suede Shoes were great to deal with, from the first e-mail, always responding quickly to queries. They turned up on the day exactly when they said they would to set up and they were helpful, friendly, organised and flexible throughout the evening. Thanks again guys!

Ann White 28 Jul 2013

Thank you so much , you guys were fab!!! We all had a great time and your band was just what I wanted for the night. Daniel felt so at home playing with you it's lovely to see his confidence growing. I will definitely be recommending you to my friends . We carried on the celebrations today, so I'm ready for an early night tonight! Wish you guys all the best, keep up the great music! Thanks again!

The Blue Suede Shoes made my 30th birthday. The lads were great, playing laid back tunes together with a bit of banter over the microphone. The set list catered to everyone, and they were flexible in taking a few ad hoc requests on the night. The organisation before hand was timely and delivered exactly as promised – I would definitely recommend The Blue Suede Shoes to anyone, and am currently looking for a reason for another party to get them over again.

Martin and Cleo Bence 14 May 2013
10/10

We absolutely loved your music and we are so pleased we booked you. All of our guests were asking who you where and where we found you. Thank you for making our evening and for being so flexible with the delays etc. it was a perfect end to an amazing day.

We had an absolutely fantastic wedding party with The Blue Suede Shoes providing the music. The band created a great atmosphere straight away, and had everyone up dancing with their excellent range of songs! Communication was brilliant from start to finish. We would definitely recommend The Blue Suede Shoes to anyone looking for a wonderful night of music!

I just wanted to say a huge thanks to you, you guys were amazing!! You definitely made the day for us, I couldn't have asked for a better band!! It was really good to see you again, and I hope our paths do cross again in the near future.

Well, thanks again for your performance, if there is anything I can do to spread the word about how amazing The Blue Suede Shoes are please let me know, I would recommend you guys in a heartbeat!!

Cheers, Dave

Our wedding took place at the Merchant Taylors' Hall, central London, in December 2012. We knew that we wanted a band for the evening reception, and some music for our wedding ceremony, but didn't really know where to look for inspiration. The Blue Suede Shoes looked like our kind of band, and their website was really helpful and informative, so we made our booking a couple of months in advance after contacting Ben by email.

There is so much planning involved in arranging a wedding. As the groom, I wanted to know that the band would be there in good time, and be organised and professional on the day. We were in very safe hands with The Blue Suede Shoes - they were absolutely brilliant and very considerate to our requests. Their rendition of the song for our first dance was perfect, and all of our guests commented on how much they enjoyed the band's sets.

I'd have no hesitation in recommending the band to anyone for their own events. They were superb musicians, excellent value and great people too. We really did have a perfect day, and we are very grateful to The Blue Suede Shoes for helping to make it so special.

Just wanted to say a big thank you for the fantastic music at Andy's party. So many people came up to us both during and after to say what a great band and where did we find you. Really helped create the atmosphere we were looking for - lovely blokes too and very professional customer service. Highly recommended and will be booking you again next time we have a do!

This is probably the most belated thank you in history and you probably barely remember the event now, but I just wanted to say a huge thank you on behalf of Jane and myself for providing the incredible entertainment for our wedding back in August at the Dome. Everyone said how great the music was and how professional and tight you guys were and it really made the night for us. We'll encourage anyone we know getting married to book you, because we can't imagine there could be a better choice of band.

We would just like to say how great we thought you guys were! Every single guest commented on how perfect a band you were for our wedding. At every stage you have been a pleasure to deal with, even coming to meet us prior to the big day. Your sets were just great, the mix of songs got everyone young and old up and dancing. We won't have any hesitation recommending The Blue Suede Shoes at any opportunity.

Good luck with your wedding!

Thanks so much

Toby and Ellie

Thanks so much for your note - and thank you again for Saturday. It was a great way to kick off an amazing day for us - we're just sorry we didn't get to hear more of you but everyone we spoke to seemed to love you guys.
Thanks for stepping in with the signing of the register bit at the last minute - hadn't really thought about that bit!
Thanks again and we'll be sure to spread The Blue Suede Shoes name far and wide
Regards,
Paul

Having been set the challenge of playing completely unplugged in a wild camping venue for a 40th birthday celebration, The Blue Suede Shoes duo completely delivered. Great communication prior to the event, fantastic music, both in choice of song and standard of performance, they had the 30-40 something crowd all dancing and wanting more at the end - there were even offers of sleeping bags and breakfast! would absolutely recommend these guys for any function.

They were so lovely, they were a huge hit and have been recommended on to many! I felt so bad that it was such a chilly evening, they were great though, very happy. Please wish them all the best in the future - it was our fairwell party, heading back to Australia, so unfortunately we wont be here to hire them again.

The Blue Suede Shoes performed at my 21st Birthday party and were absolutely amazing. This is the 2nd time we had heard them as they previously performed at our local pub on Mothers Day and went down a storm. The band are so professional and ensure the volume of music is just right for the occasion. Most bands allow you to select just one
song choice in addition to their normal play list but The Blue Suede Shoes were so flexible and I was able to select six songs of my own which they learnt before the occasion and performed amazingly. Their play list is so varied and caters for every occasion. Everybody loved them at the party and I have no doubt it wont be long before we see them again. I cant recommend them enough for any type of occasion.

The Blue Suede Shoes are a fantastic band and we are so pleased that we chose them for our wedding. Their communication from the start was brilliant, they were really helpful and went out their way to accommodate exactly what we wanted for our big day. Their set list is great with something for every age, which is perfect for a wedding when you have little kids dancing alongside great uncles. Their playing was flawless and we received lots of compliments from guests about our band choice. All in all, a very professional, friendly group, who I would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a wedding band.

Thanks guys for creating the atmosphere at the party last week. It was such a difference to have some great quality live music which was both tasteful and sensitive enough to chat over but lively so that people got up and had a dance. Lots of my friends have been asking for more information about The Blue Suede Shoes and I’ll need you to keep the same date next year free so that you can play for me again!

Thank you so much for playing at our wedding. The first dance song was incredible, as soon as you started playing it we knew we had picked the right band for our wedding day. People are still talking about the show you put on and asking for more information about where they can hear more! We will definitely be recommending The Blue Suede Shoes to anyone planning a wedding or any other event. Thanks again!

The Blue Suede Shoes gave an outstanding performance at our engagement party and were instrumental in creating the great atmosphere enjoyed by all. Their professionalism was displayed throughout and we had endless feedback from our guests on how good they sounded. Everyone was impressed by them. They compliment each other perfectly and we have of course requested them to play at our wedding later this year!
