Review Centre: Background Music Bands

"Bluenotes Jazz Duo made their debut at Upton Jazz Festival in June 2025, opening our Sunday jazz session with coffee time jazz in our new venue at the Tudor House Museum. Elliot and David were on on fine form and earned much appreciative comment from our jazz folk and from locals new to jazz. The duo have been invited back for June 2026…enough said ! Jon Parsons, Upton Jazz Festival."

"Revelation Strings played at our wedding at Hotel du Vin Tunbridge Wells in August 2014. Four extremely talented musicians. They were absolutely amazing; playing everything requested. They learnt two new pieces especially for the wedding and played them beautifully. They also accompanied Jerusalem and a solo performance of Let There Be Love. Their playing really made our wedding day special and I would highly recommend."

"I cannot praise the band highly enough, they were exactly what we had hoped for our special day. From the moment we saw the videos we knew we had found what we were looking for and the pre-event communication was excellent to ensure they provided what we wanted. On the day itself everything went like clockwork with the two sets they played. Martini 3 have a high level of musicianship and are great at creating a good atmosphere, even in a large open plan space. Many of our guests commented on the quality of the band and we were absolutely delighted - they helped to create our perfect day. We would definitely recommend Martini 3 for any event and also we're very happy with the service provided by Last Minute Musicians in facilitating the booking."

"We booked Evelyn and the Band for our wedding and it was one of the best decisions we made! We found choosing a band really tricky knowing that it was something we both really cared about and prioritised, wanting the party at our wedding to be perfect - after getting in touch with the band for more live videos of them performing, we knew we'd found what we were looking for! They were absolutely fantastic and quite literally had the entire wedding party on the dance floor - so many people commented on how amazing they were, both on the night itself and many times since! Evelyn is a phenomenal singer and the band are just so talented, they made the songs their own, brought the party (conga line behind the trombone player) and even had the groom up to play trumpet for a song! Great song lists, very talented musicians, so easy to work with, so friendly and accommodating, can't thank them enough! 11/10!"

"We booked RJ to play during the day at our wedding in August. He was an utter delight. He was professional and friendly throughout. He checked exactly what we wanted for the day and was very easy to work with. And of course, he is a talented musician - the tone of his voice is even better live. All of our guests commented on his music and a few have even asked for his details for their own events. I’m so glad that he was available to play for our big day!"

"Love For Sale were quite simply fantastic! The booking and planning process was very smooth and their simple equipment requirements took a lot of the stress out because I could easily understand what was needed; this can be very daunting if you are not particularly technical! On the evening, the whole band were friendly and a pleasure to meet, they got themselves set up and were very accommodating when slight changes to plans were needed. The music itself was exactly what we had hoped for, they kept guests entertained throughout the drinks reception and meal, it was upbeat and cheerful but still at a comfortable volume to allow conversations. I cannot recommend the band highly enough, thank you to you all."

"If I could give more stars I would!! Enchanted Harpist is an angel and an absolutely incredible harpist!! When I was planning my wedding, my mind was all over the place and I had completely forgotten to get entertainment for my wedding reception. It was a WEEK before my wedding day and I started looking for something elegant that would WOW my guests during the reception dinner. I enquired for a couple things but they were all mediocre. And then Dorothy came to my rescue!! I watched her videos and FELL IN LOVE!! She’s so incredibly talented, I’ve heard other harpists but no one plays so beautifully like her! Enchanted Harpist had an amazing set list but she also gave me options to make changes if I wanted. I also told her I had a colour theme for my wedding (lilac/lavender) and she even came in a beautiful lilac dress to match the theme! Enchanted Harpist really went above and beyond! All of my wedding guests were truly impressed with her and everyone was taking videos of her whilst she played beautifully on her harp. I would 100000% recommend Enchanted Harpist again and again to absolutely everyone!"
