⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Elephants in the Room – Truly Made My Night

I had Elephants in the Room play at my 60th birthday party, and I genuinely couldn’t have wished for anything more special. From the very first song, they filled the room with warmth, joy, and incredible energy. It felt as though they weren’t just performing at the party — they were celebrating with us.

Their music was outstanding, but what touched me most was the heart they put into every performance. They read the room beautifully, lifted the atmosphere, and even got people dancing who I honestly never expected to see on a dance floor again! Guests are still telling me how amazing the band were.

It’s rare to find musicians who are not only so talented, but also so genuine and committed to making your event unforgettable. Thanks to Elephants in the Room, my 60th birthday became a night full of laughter, dancing, and memories I’ll cherish for years to come.

Thank you, Elephants in the Room, for giving me a celebration that truly meant the world to me.

Thanks for the review and your kind words Iain. It felt like a team effort - you, your family and guests and the band - and between us we had the best time! We really appreciated your generous hospitality and how you made us feel welcome. All the very best. Until the next time, Peter

Elephants in the Room were amazing!
Peter was great to deal with from the start. Very accommodating and the band didn’t disappoint either! Excellent song choices and they brought a great energy to the party, Peter being great as the front man and getting everyone dancing.
I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend.
Thank you very much for a fantastic night!

We were so delighted we had this band at our birthday party, they were awesome! Peter is a fabulous showman and the band members super talented. It was a party to remember and it was absolutely the band that made it. They even added a new song that we asked for , Kinky Afro which was really special. It was all our guests were talking about. They they turned up the volume to 11….!

What a night! Our party was such an incredible success and the main topic of conversation centred around just how great the band were. When you book this band, you are not just booking a band to play music, you are booking a full on stage show. The whole band are a great bunch of musicians, with Peter at the front who is a fantastic showman and kept our guests entertained for the whole evening. The dance floor was heaving for most of the evening and our guests kept asking for more as the guys finished their final song, and they played on for a few more songs. I cannot thank you all enough for creating a wonderful atmosphere and entertaining us all which ensured our party was a runaway success. Even now two days later, people are coming up to me talking about the band. I would love to have the opportunity to book again at some point.

Elephants in the Room were brilliant. From the setting up, to the music and entertainment right through to clearing up; every single member of the band were lovely. And, to top it all, their talent is second to none- they made the night- thank you so much, 50th Birthdays don’t get any better. Highly recommend these guys.

Friendly and hugely entertaining. Elephant in the Room really made my parents 40th wedding anniversary memorable. They were hugely entertaining and had the dance floor packed by the end. They were also extremely accommodating and fit around our surprise party evening incredibly. Thoroughly recommend them.

From the moment I spoke to Peter I knew this was the entertainment we needed at my party. And Elephants in the Room exceeded my expectations. I was promised a show and that is what we got. They had my guests mesmerised, entertained, dancing - it was incredible and everything you want for your party. Arranging the booking was easy and straightforward. A great band to do business with - all they promised was full-filled and they were all such great personalities. Book this band - you will love them!!

We booked Elephants in the Room for our Wedding in July 2019, they were incredible. From the very start of communications they were professional, polite and informative of what they needed and what they could offer. On the day we couldn't have asked for any more from them, perfect technically, great stage presence and people-pleasing set-list. Will be recommending them to anyone who is after a function band!

My colleagues have been congratulating me on my choice all week!  For my part, you were 100% professional and delivered on every count. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Elephants in the Room.

Elephants in the Room are a sensational, exciting, versatile band that will make any small or large venue rock. The music suits all tastes, ranging from the sixties to current popular anthems and includes slow, soulful ballads and energetic heavy rock. This isn’t just a good live band but a mesmerising performance totally engaging the audience.

Unfortunately it was not what I was expecting
The vocals wasn’t good and the way they played them
One example I chose Ring of Fire by Johnny Cash because I like country music
Again they played their version which was to be fair 3/10
I can’t even bring myself to reply to their email they sent on the Sunday

Reply from Elephants in the Room
We're genuinely sorry you didn't enjoy our version of "Ring Of Fire" - I hope our more traditional Country take on "Jolene" was appreciated by Rose. It was great to see everyone dancing through the likes of "Twist & Shout", "Tainted Love" etc. and you, being centre stage for "All The Small Things" as well as throwing yourself into "Hey Jude", taking the microphone and leading everyone through the coda at the finale.
