Review Centre: Bands & Ensembles

"Lion Strings played at my wedding in August 2017. There are no other words than... OH MY GOD! She is absolutely incredible, everyone's emotions ran high on the day whilst listening to her play (she even made my husband cry!!). She is so lovely, she really helped me whilst planning my wedding, she's really easy to talk to and she really made our day even more special with her beautiful music. I cannot recommend her enough!! Thanks x"

"We booked the three piece band for a private party having seen Andy and John play in WSM. The range of music and upbeat songs was perfect and they just new the right songs to create a party atmosphere. Everyone enjoyed the music and dancing. Thanks so much guys for a great night!!! Will definitely be booking again. "

"I first experienced House of Chords as a guest at a wedding in December 2015. They were the best live party band my family and friends had ever seen. With the responsibility of organising a joint 21st and 50th celebration, the band were at the top of our list to ensure a good time would be had by all. Again, what a night! They surpassed what were already very high expectations. These gifted guys are accomplished musicians with superb technical ability topped by pitch perfect distinctive vocals from the lead singer. Whilst genuine masters of their artistic craft, they lack any ego and their primary purpose as entertainers is to make sure everyone has a fun and fabulous time. Words can’t do justice to the hugely positive feedback we received from our guests. Hiring a band from cold can feel like a real gamble but I can assure you these guys deliver and then some. They have an extensive, popular and eclectic repertoire and can improvise and specialise whatever you want as well as adapting to the vibe and tempo in the room. The dance floor was packed from start to finish with the guests pleading for encores. They are genuinely nice guys and they fully get it's your night not theirs - although it’s clear they really enjoy playing and entertaining. This genuine enthusiasm quickly becomes infectious around the room. The band are highly professional and from the moment you make contact with the lead guitarist, Mike, you feel reassured that you will be in safe hands. A very personable guy, he’s happy to talk it through with you, makes sure the band will deliver exactly what you want and can offer helpful advice and insight to make it the best night ever. Also for our party these talented musicians take their role as entertainers seriously and they still arrived in good time to set up despite horrendous traffic problems on that day. They appreciate how important the success of your party is to you. I don’t ever write reviews but felt compelled to do so because if you are like me, you might just need a second or even a third opinion and some reassurance when planning such a celebration. I can’t say it enough -you will have a great time if you book these guys."

"Barn With Us played at our school charity dinner last weekend and I am going to let the pupils do the talking: Vibrant; great company; made it a lot of fun; great singing and music; the callers explained everything really well and made sure everyone understood what they should do (the dance was demonstrated to me at this time!); lively; really good atmosphere; they were funny; great energy - you get the picture! Big thank you to Lilac, Remko and everyone else involved."

"Thank you performing at our wedding at Montague farm last night Sam and I LOVED the music, you were all brilliant, and the female lead singer was particularly fantastic. We loved the audience participation and all of our guests commented on how fab the music was. Thanks for making our night!"

"Just wanted to say a HUGE thank you to Goldsworth Gerry! Honestly, you guys made my birthday party extra special! From start to finish it was a pleasure to deal with you. Very reliable, responded to my emails and requests about the songs very quickly and the performance on the day was amazing. Every guest has complimented you and said how much fun they had on the night. Their song list is great, plenty to choose from and will keep your guests on a dance floor for hours! I would highly recommend Goldsworth Gerry for big or small celebrations as they can create a great atmosphere for you and your guests."

"Absolutely fantastic band for a wedding or party. Knew exactly what music would get everyone dancing and (regrettably) singing along! "

"Francesca sang amazingly at my wedding 2 years ago. She was a surprise to my husband and I arranged by my father who has sadly since passed away. Her voice was beautiful and I will always remember her incredible performance as a last gift from my father. Francesca sang a mix of pop and classical and had the audience gripped from the moment she revealed she wasn't really a waitress. Just brilliant. Thank you."

"I don’t often leave reviews but it’s fair to say she did a great job and I will def book again. Two colleagues have already contacted her about future bookings."

"I hired the Caribbean steel drum band to perform at my wedding in Essex (29th May 2016) as a surprise for my wife, she absolutely loved it. The band were very professional, they arrived very early to set up and they played almost continuously from the end of the ceremony (around 3pm) until the end of the meal (around 6.30pm), moving around the venue depending on the time to be closest to as many guests as possible. All of our guests commented on how great they were and I would definitely recommend them as an excellent and very reasonably priced addition to any celebration."

"Dear Bradley, I’m dropping you a line to say that we really appreciated your piano music throughout our wedding party at home. In particular, a special thank you for learning Puccini’s O Mio Babbino Caro, which our young daughter sang and performed with you to everyone's delight! Bradley, you are both professional and charming and you added greatly to our special day."
