Review Centre: Latin / Salsa / Mariachi Bands

"The VIP Formula are brilliant! We hired them for a birthday party at our house, communication was excellent from the moment of booking. A most professional outfit who made our event a spectacular success. Arriving in good time, they set up without disruption to the proceedings. They are all talented musicians who played a wonderful mix of latin music and popular tunes cleverly adapted into a Cuban style which got everybody dancing. A highly polished yet personalised performance that impressed everyone and we would definitely recommend them."

Dear Duncan, All memories I have from your wife's Birthday Party are fantastic. She played a great African Percussion solo! Hahahaha... That was really fun. Thank you very much again for having us. Best regards, Michael. VIP Formula

"From my perspective, Rory was polite, professional and played very well. He was excellent at communicating where he was, and was very conscientious to be placed somewhere suitable for the guests. Rory specifically wanted to ensure that when Anam and Alex were announced in to the evening reception, their arrival was accompanied by the correct song. Personally I would have now hesitation in recommending him for future bookings. Best regards, Nikki"

"I heard Tijuca Taxi playing an impromptu set at the Long Table and I was blown away with his performance. Extremely talented on many instruments, he got everybody dancing and a really fun guy. I'd recommend him to get the party started with the talent!"

"I saw Las Valentinas mariachi band perform recently at The British Museum and thought they were a fantastic addition for the 'Day of the Dead' exhibition. Their sets were very popular and it was great that they could wander around the museum playing in different rooms whilst performing. Would love to see them again!"

"Paul's contribution to our event was fantastic. He is very professional, very punctual and flexible. The organisation of the event and preparation of the music for it was a incredibly easy and fast. His performance on the night was highly praised by all our guests, which included 32 Brazilian students. They enjoyed themselves greatly and we look forward to having him at our university again!"
