Review Centre: Wedding Bands

"We hired the 80s band to play at our wedding this summer and I can honestly say that I could not have wished for better music, our guests have been raving about them ever since and they truly made our wedding the fun event we wanted it to be. The band really set the tone for the evening and got everyone of all ages dancing and they did not play one song that wasn’t an absolute classic wonderfully performed. Guests were begging them to carry on when they finished and the atmosphere they created was just amazing, the recreation of eighties hits in their own style is completely unique. There were other musicians present at our wedding and they too could not praise the performance highly enough. I honestly could not recommend them more, they were exactly what we wanted and they made our day."

"The 2023 Cosmetic Medicine Awards at the magnificent Culloden Estate in Holywood, Bangor, were graced with a spectacular musical showcase, headlined by the thrilling powerhouse that is jbmac live. Opening the esteemed event, jbmac live set the bar incredibly high with an indescribable energy that surged through the audience like an electric current. Infusing the evening with a blend of powerful vocals, impeccable instrumental synchronization, and an infectious stage presence, jbmac live demonstrated exactly why they were the chosen gatekeepers of the night's festivities. Their sound, a vibrant tapestry woven with threads of rock, pop, and soul, resonated perfectly in the grandeur of the Culloden Estate, ensuring that the ceremony commenced with the audience in high spirits. The synergy between jbmac live and the iconic bands Boyzlife and D-Ream further underscored the night's success. Not only did jbmac live support these legends with commendable finesse, but their unique flair also complemented the classic hits that had everyone reminiscing and celebrating in unison. It was a musical mosaic that painted the evening with strokes of nostalgia and contemporary verve."

"On behalf of all of us at Surbiton, I just wanted to say a huge thank you again for coming to play for us last night.  It was wonderful to have such accomplished, experienced musicians playing great tunes for us to dance to - a real treat.  I've had a lot of comments from people saying how good it was which I wanted to pass on, and I hope you can come and play for us again at one of our events when we are back up to full strength numbers.

"Thanks very much for a fantastic ceilidh for my birthday party. The music sounded great, and you managed to build a really good atmosphere where people felt relaxed about joining in with the dancing, and almost everybody did! "

"Having just returned from our honeymoon we just wanted to reach out and thank you for everything you did to help make our wedding so special. Amplified really were spectacular and everybody is raving about you guys. The music was brilliant, you got everybody dancing and we can’t thank you enough for helping our big day rock. From preparing a new song for our first dance, getting the father of the groom up to sing, right through to the last dance, you all gave so much energy and we will never forget it. Rhona, from beginning to end you were great to work with, helpful and quick to respond. Thank you for everything you did in the lead-up. "

"You guys were quite simply superb. You were everything we could have wanted from a ceilidh band and more. Even now (months after the wedding) people are still raving about how great you were. Every single person got up dancing at some point and loved every moment. There are even people that have never been to one that are now having one at the their wedding next year (keep an eye out for the email from them!). Even the Scottish side of my family agree that you are the best band they have seen. You pitched the night perfectly so that the experienced dancers and the novices all really enjoyed themselves. The photos from that section of the night are full of people laughing and having fun and that is purely down to you. Without you the evening party would have been nowhere near as fun or memorable and we were all gutted when you had to finish. From a personal perspective you were so friendly and quick to respond from my first enquiry and were so accommodating to the little things that we wanted. You made everything so easy and didn't need to call anyone on the day. The biggest thing for me though is that you are young and have a great blend of modern thinking and respect of tradition. Some of the other bands i contacted were so stuffy and rigid in their approach which made choosing you so easy. Overall you made our wedding and will be a treasured memory for the rest of our lives."

"Mary V & The Party Grooves performed at our wedding at the Beach House, Jersey Island in August and she brought a magical and personal touch to the songs they played. Her smooth, sexy, but unique voice is truly inspirational. Mary is highly professional and very talented."

"I just wanted to email you to say thanks! Everyone loved the ceilidh. The explanation at the beginning of each dance were great and of good help for the guests who never had one before. It was also very easy to get in touch with you and to get everything organise. Graeme and I would happily recommend you to anyone. Thanks again for helping making that day even more special!"

"I new nothing of this band, only that I'd left it very late to book so had no other choices! All my dealings with Alan were clear, helpful and very obliging. Nothing was too much trouble, from the type of music, number of musicians, outfits, length of playing time/breaks. They arrived in the Cotswolds from Yorkshire early, set up effortlessly, liased with the disco jockey and started playing just before the guests arrived. WOW!! Without exception, everyone danced. They set the whole party alight. How lucky were we to stumble across them. Use them, listen to them! They're fantastic!!!"

"Trip for Biscuits played at our wedding and I could not recommend them enough. We were looking for a particular style which was hard to find in Bristol but I am so glad we did not give up on our search and came across this band! Lots of guests have commented on how great the band were too and the dance floor was evidence they really added to the day. Thank you!"

I highly recommend Shay for any event where you are looking for an elevated and versatile musical experience . "
