Review Centre: Bands & Ensembles

"We got married at Rudding Park in May this year (2016) and Southwest Band were phenomenal – so glad we chose them. Right from the start when I called Henry, one of the band members, to discuss what I was after, he was helpful and friendly. I was always able to reach out to him with any questions I had. The band really made it an incredible night - one that we will remember forever. The set list was really varied, and the classics from various decades kept everyone on the floor dancing all night. The band are really energetic and three of the band members sing – they are seriously talented guys. There was dancing, a huge conga line, and crowd surfing (even in my wedding dress!). They also did an awesome reggae version of our first dance, which was a really cool surprise, and was very individual. Basically, the band are very reliable, super talented, and great for a wedding; I’d definitely recommend them. Thanks guys so much!!"

"I would just like to say a massive thank you, for playing at our wedding 22/7/16. We wanted something a little bit different for our wedding, for our guests to enjoy whilst relaxing at our venue. After finding North West String Quartet on Last Minute Musicians and listening to their fantastic and professional recordings on their website, I got the thumbs up from my very musical brother, and booked them. I was utterly thrilled with their professional service and attention to detail with regards to choosing songs for before, during and after the ceremony. Their repertoire is extensive and current whilst also including some fantastic classical options. There was also the option to select a piece of music that wasn't on the repertoire list. This came at a very small additional cost but was one of the best decisions we made for the day. We had an acoustic version of "Time After Time" put together for the Bridal Party entrance and it was truly stunning. All of our guests commented on how beautifully the music had been arranged. If you ever record this piece please let us know so we can purchase a copy. Following the ceremony you kept our guests entertained and helped to contribute to a fantastic atmosphere. I can't thank you enough. Please do not have any hesitations in booking this fabulous String Quartet, they are truly talented young musicians."

"Working with Lara and the girls in Hope String Quartet has been an absolute pleasure. Having contacted LIPA to enquire about availability of students, Lara from Hope String Quartet, was very prompt in responding with video footage and a bio. The Telegraph Cruise & Travel Show was a two day event at the Exhibition Centre Liverpool from 10am-5pm on Saturday and 10-4pm on Sunday. As the only string quartet at the event, it was quite demanding on the girls to play across both days with 1-1.5hrs sessions on a tight schedule. Their performances were fantastic and provided our visitors with a relaxing and intimate atmosphere within our Cream Tea Experience. We have received many lovely comments from our visitors since the show, and I would highly recommend Hope String Quartet for any event that requires a classy and sophisticated musical accompaniment.

"Gary turned up when promised and setup discretely. He worked with us to incorporate little touches into our day that made it special for us, including family involvement. He was very flexible and responsive to our guests, even adapting to the spontaneous conga line that developed and sending us a video of it afterwards which was awesome. He read the room well and stayed beyond our original end time since our guests were enjoying his music so much. We've had multiple mentions since then from guests who loved his playing. Would thoroughly recommend him."

"Many thanks for the 2 fabulous guitar sessions you played at our party last Saturday night. I wanted to be able to sit and listen properly but clearly that wasn’t going to happen. Maybe another time! We are so pleased that you were able to play for us and I was very impressed with the whole booking system through Last Minute Musicians. "

"We booked Casado for our wedding on the 14th March 2020 and would highly recommend them. Sharon and Martyn were professional, supportive and made our ceremony very special. From the very beginning, Casado were there to support our ideas, offer suggestions and took away a huge element of stress by liaising directly with the venue which was a great help on the lead up to the day. Casado offer great flexibility with regards to what they can offer, for our ceremony we had solo guitar whilst guests were seated and then violin and guitar duet for the ceremony including music whilst signing the register. Casado are excellent musicians with lots of experience and the feedback from our guests was amazing. Thank you for being part of our special day. "

"Brilliant! If you close your eyes when they are performing the Blondie songs, you would think it was Debbie Harry herself. Lots of great songs and they performed for hours. Great value for money!"

"Of course we would book them again. What can I say, exactly what I asked for and more, I could have been in Ireland listening to these two. Just amazing"

"I would just like to say that Embassy Band were wonderful. It’s really hard to play to a room full of 11 year old girls but they were warm and engaging and so lovely to all of the girls. Huge respect to the Embassy Band and an enormous thank you. You guys are magnificent. Victoria and David Elfick, Daughters Prom at South Lodge in Horsham – 2nd August "
