Review Centre: Bands & Ensembles

"Thank you Sarah Jane and Glorious Grooves! We really enjoyed listening to and dancing to the live music at our wedding. The band were very flexible, going out of their way to accommodate a change to their set-up time a couple of weeks before the event. On the day, they were really friendly and the standard of the music was high. We both thought it would have been even better if the volume on Gloria's mic had been slightly louder, but it was a small detail in an otherwise brilliant two-hour set. Thanks again!"

"My hubby and I booked The Spectrum for our wedding this year. We originally booked another band around 9 months ago but they cancelled on us two months before our wedding. We nearly just booked a DJ and played it safe because we hadn't heard them live but once we listened to their demo's and saw the list of songs they choose from I knew they were the ones! Also speaking to James, one who sings, reassured us both and he was really helpful. It's clear that they have played for lots of weddings and understand how important it is to get things right! They played our first dance and from then on our reception was amazing! Everyone I spoke to commented on the band and how much fun it was. Plus some of my guests liked dancing with the guitarist on the dance floor when he was playing a solo! I would thoroughly recommend them and hope to see them at another wedding soon!"

"We had such an amazing day and can't thank you enough for helping to make it so perfect! We absolutely loved all the music you played and had so many compliments from our guests who were all very impressed! We couldn't have asked for anyone better to play at our wedding and really appreciate the time you took to help us choose pieces before the big day and how professional you all were throughout. We hope you enjoyed the day too!"

"Hi Marcus, It’s been a bit hectic since the wedding, so apologies for not getting in touch sooner. I just wanted to say a big thank you to you & the band for putting on such a great show at Northbrook Park for us. We thought you were absolutely amazing, and we can honestly say our night would not have been the same without you. It was fantastic… . We had so many comments regarding how good you guys were. Thank you once again. "

"We were introduced to Jean through Sarah-Jane 2 days before our wedding day. Jean was an outstanding Harpist and a pleasure to deal with. She arrived well ahead of the time to ensure she wasn't late and called me in advanced. Highly talented and skilled Harpist and an elegant musician. Happy to recommend her to anyone. I should also thank Sarah-Jane for being so helpful. You'll be in safe hands when dealing wit her and she makes sure she delivers. Everything was done promptly and professionally. Communication was excellent and made us feel at ease."

"My family really enjoyed Ley playing at Pittodrie House Hotel for the evening reception.  He is a great musician with a wide and varied repetoire so there’s something for everyone.  Ley is a professional, first class entertainer.  Highly recommended. "

"We were after a great live band for our wedding, and boy did these guys deliver! We received many comments afterwards on how fantastic the music was with some saying it was the best music they'd heard at a wedding (and we'd agree!). Their sound is very polished from the guitar playing (incredible solos), to the vocals, drumming and harmonies. They have a comprehensive and large setlist (available on their website) playing everything through from rock classics, indie gems and modern pop, from 60s to present day. Matt is very responsive to the audience's mood and requests, so the dance floor was packed all night. Really easy communication with Matt beforehand, we made a few particular requests which were incorporated but left the bulk of the song selection to them as we were confident in their setlist, and also made requests for the DJ setlist. They can be booked as either a 3 piece or 4 piece, we went for the latter. Matt was really helpful on the general sound set up throughout the day, and was flexible to timing changes. Lighting was also impressive. Thanks to the Rockpins for making our day so memorable!"
