Reviews of Count Down To Swing

You and the band were superb - especially given the massive delay before you were able to perform, and the fact that we forgot to bring the interval playlist(s)! Our guests were extremely complimentary and said they really enjoyed the band and the dancing. So thank you - and thank you for making it all so easy for us too. I hope that we get to see you perform again in the not too distant future.

What a fantastic band! We booked CDTS for a Charity Gala Ball, and what a wonderful addition to the event they were. All our guests made for the dance floor and were thoroughly entertained and I can't recommend them highly enough. Delightful people and they certainly add value to your event!

I know I thanked you on the night but just wanted to do so again in the cold light of day. You and your band were fantastic, not just brilliant at the music but also lovely, helpful and a total pleasure to work with. Thank you so much and please pass my thanks on to your team. My Mother literally had the party of her life and you were a big part of that... you were exceptional.

Wanted to say thank you so much to you and the rest of the band for Saturday. We are so pleased we chose you to play at our wedding - you were absolutely brilliant. I love the fact we managed to sneak in a dance together before the rest of the guests made it to the dancefloor. That was a lovely a really memorable moment for us. Thank you so much for dealing so admirably with our wedding overrunning. We are sad not to have had 2 full hours of CDTS, but we were delighted with we did have.

We thought Down for the Count did an outstanding job and so did all of our friends and family. Everyone could not stop raving about how great the music was. Honestly, we wouldn't have changed a thing and were so impressed. Most of all, it was so special to hear New York, New York as a closing song and we really appreciate your initiative to create those extra special touches for us! Without a doubt, we would recommend Down for the Count to any other friends getting married.

We hired Count Down To Swing for our summer wedding, and couldn't have been happier with them. They are super efficient and easy to communicate with, making the whole process of booking them really straightforward and stress-free.
The band itself is just brilliant: all our guests said so and the dance floor was full throughout their set. They really made the event.
Down for the Count are so friendly, accommodating, talented and professional that we would wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone!

We wanted to say a huge thank you for being part of our wedding. From the classical music during the ceremony to the full 9-piece jazz band in the evening, the music was just perfect. We have been fans of Count Down To Swing for a long time and have always said you would be amazing to have at a wedding so we are so pleased you could play for us on our special day. We have had so many comments from our guests about how fantastic the band was and you were definitely one of the highlights of the day. You never fail to get everyone dancing!

We are also very grateful for the music you provided for our wedding video. The live recordings have made the videos so personal and bring back the best memories of the day.

You guys were absolutely AMAZING in every way; you were incredibly accommodating and helpful in the run up and then wowed everyone on the night! Every single guest I have spoken to since the wedding has commented on how amazing you all were, friendly, fun and super talented. Your surprise rendition of All You Need Is Love was the most magical moment and my favourite memory of the night. Thank you so very very much, I cannot recommend you or praise you all enough; you were all, quite simply, spectacular and the best band at a wedding I have ever heard!

The band gave a great performance at the RAF Christmas Party. The arrangements for the band all went very smoothly, and the show on the night was first rate - the band even agreed to perform an additional set at short notice. They were virtually held hostage by the crowd until the end of their third encore! I’d have absolutely no hesitation in booking them again.

Now that we're back from honeymoon and getting into the swing of things again, we thought it was time to sart thanking the many people who helped to make our day - and evening - so special. You and the band were amazing! Such a fantastic sound and a wonderful set - including the horn section on "All You Need Is Love" - made for a night we'll all remember for the rest of our lives. Our guests and Jamie at Micklefield Hall have all commented on what a fantastic band Count Down To Swing are. Thank you so much for being so flexible, so lovely to deal with - but most of all thank you so much for the wonderful music!!

Mike, Thanks again for the fantastic performance from 'Count Down To Swing' at Sue's party. We intended to rock the place and we did. The music was great, and you fitted in just right with our requirements. Everyone who attended the party was wholly complimentary, well done and thanks to all of you, Phill.

Mike, we cannot thank you enough for how brilliant you guys were at our wedding! Thank you so much for being so flexible when, given the extreme heat and no air con, our guests decamped to the gardens and you all postponed your sets to play later in the evening when everyone was back inside the venue! We really appreciated that! We had so many compliments on how fantastic you all were and many of my guests have asked for your details! Not surprising since the entire band was lively, entertaining and just brilliantly talented! I would also like to thank you for keeping me so calm and making the booking process/ play list selection etc so easy. You were contactable whenever I needed you (wonderful) and were so in control that it put me at ease instantly. Thank you again and we cannot wait for another excuse to throw a big bash and hire you all again!

AMAZING! thanks you so much for making our wedding party absolutely fantastic, everyone totally raves about you all even now, a few months down the line (and for a room full of professional musicians and sound engineers thats a tough crowd to please) If you're in two minds wether to book this lot ... DO IT NOW, you will not regret it.

Dear Mike,

We would like to thank you and express our sincere appreciation for making our wedding day so special. Your professionalism and talent exceeded all expectations and made the day a success. All our guests were incredibly impressed with your performance and you went a long way towards creating the exhilarating atmosphere that they're all still talking about. Our wedding would not have been the same without your contribution and we would like you to extend our heartfelt gratitude to the rest of the band.

The band was fantastic - a great centrepiece for the evening reception! Excellent style and lots of fun for all generations. Four months on and we still hear a lot of praise for the band from all our guests. The logistics also worked perfectly, which is ever so important on the day. We would highly recommend them!

You made a family celebration very special. Perfectly pitched music, appealing to all ages,ensuring a memorable Summer's day. Thank you!

A joy to listen to and to watch - the audience has a great time because the band is having a great time!
