Review Centre: Bands & Ensembles

"We booked the band for our wedding reception back in October. We are both huge Irish music fans and have had several memorable trips to Ireland so it was especially important to us to have a live Irish band on our big day. We spend a fair amount of time looking for the “perfect Irish band” and were over the moon to have found the Extonions. From the initial enquiry Mac was both friendly and very professional. He instantly made us feel like we had made the right decision and was more than happy to include any special song requests we had. He then made sure they included on the night and that everyone had a great time. All the band members were lovely and friendly chatting to our guests and fitted in perfectly with our relaxed party atmosphere. Many of our guests have commented on how great they were and we would not hesitate in booking them again in the future or recommending them to others. Thanks so much for making our wedding day so memorable."

"The Belles were amazing. They were completely professional and contributed to our wedding that really complemented the tone of the day. We were only a small wedding but they got us all up dancing and were great fun as well as really impressive performers. Would absolutely recommend them to anyone and would definitely want to use them again should we have the event that requires it."

"Simply amazing! Rosie & The Rockets' dynamic, fun, party-vibe led to a consistently full dancefloor and many wedding guests commented on how great they were. Our set timings weren't conventional and but they adapted to our needs with their flexible and professional approach. Would highly recommend and can't praise them enough - what a talented bunch! A massive thank you to Rosie & The Rockets!​"

"Tonight we had a new duo called Shaun & Carrie, male and female: they sang the right songs for the dancers. Shaun & Carrie had great voices and they have been rebooked: well done, see you both next time."

"We booked Jen to play the violin during our wedding ceremony and reception drinks. Jen was very courteous on the day and flexible with our schedule when things ran behind. Jen had a large set list, which we could pick our favourites from and also allowed us to choose any 3 songs for the ceremony which she learnt and played perfectly. Jen was very professional, friendly and organised throughout the planning process and on the day, we couldn't have asked for more! The atmosphere Jen created for our special day was perfect and our guests loved everything too!"

"We had Shakers Gold at our kitesurfing armada festival this year. It was a fantastic gig, the crowd loved it, and they created exactly the right atmosphere for the festival. Everyone was singing along with their hands in the air, a brilliant night."

"Cannot recommend Sarah and Co enough, they were fantastic! Before the wedding the communication was great and all of the legal bits were handled quickly and professionally by Sarah directly with our venue. The song list covered all of the classics so everyone enjoyed the music from grandparents to grandkids. Made our day really special, would highly recommend Emily&Sean"

"I booked the Debbie Boyd Band for my daughter's wedding and they were fantastic. The dancefloor was full all night and our guests raved about them for weeks afterwards. I couldn't have asked for more, top class entertainment."

"The Debon Swing Dance Band was sensational. They were completely professional and looked the part with smart uniforms and stage displays. Their leader Max was fantastic at helping us plan the playlist. They adapted to the space in the venue perfectly and provided 2 sets of an hour each. Everyone at the party was thrilled to have a live band - with a full line up of instruments and 2 brilliant singers. The style of music got everyone on the dance floor - from the youngsters [age 4 upwards] to the oldies [from 80's downwards]. The live music made the party swing!"

"I can whole heartily recommend Jade for any performance position. Her performance is always first class. Her tone and interpretation of the music is just breath taking and she’s incredibly easy to deal with when organising her involvement in an event or show. She’s incredibly organised and always 100% prepared. I’ve booked many musicians who present themselves as ‘professional’ to a booking client - only to be largely disappointed by most of them. Whether it’s their performance, readiness or their communication, very few I would consider to be true professionals. Jade is the perfect musical colleague and I would be chasing her for a resident position in any show I manage before all others. Book Jade - you will not be disappointed."
