Review Centre: Bands & Ensembles

"What a fantastic band! I cannot praise them highly enough. They really made the party fly. Fantastic people, amazing vocals, fabulously talented musicians. They are all so full of energy and fun. They had everyone on their feet calling for more. They were very professional, great communication from when I booked them till when they left the venue. They made everything so easy. Everyone LOVED them from my teenage stepdaughter to my 80 year old Mum and everyone in between. I cannot thank you enough Lazy River Band, you brought the whole event together and left everyone with sore feet and huge smiles! Thank you !"

"Flux Ensemble was phenomenal at our wedding! Their music turned our venue into a dreamy fairytale. They played during the ceremony and the reception. They have an endless repertoire! What also stood out for us was Martin's friendly and easygoing nature, which made the entire experience smooth and stress-free. The compliments from our guests kept pouring in, and we hope to get another chance to hear them play again. A heartfelt thank you to the talented Flux Ensemble for making our day truly unforgettable!"

"The beautiful music from Oysland created a palpable sense of excitement and joy among the guests that set the tone for the entire day. It was amazing walking down the aisle to Lori's lovely voice, and we could tell that all of the band had put so much effort into making sure everything was perfect. Everyone said that the music was on a different level, even the registrar, who must have heard a lot of wedding music. Thank you all from the bottom of our hearts - and we will recommend you to anyone who is having a simcha!"

"You simply can’t get any better than this band. Totally professional and wonderful music. Everyone at our event thought they were the best and thought we were at Glastonbury. I’d hire them again without a second thought"

"We were lucky enough to have Blue Jewel play for the ceilidh at our wedding reception in Devon in October. Throughout all of our dealings with Steve, he was professional, responsive and friendly which helped to relieve some of the stress of planning the day! On the night the band were fantastic and were able to coax up loads of people to take part, many of whom had never been to a ceilidh in their life. Everyone had a great time; we particularly enjoyed the special wedding dance where everyone danced around us in a circle – people are still mentioning it to us! Thanks so much for everything, you helped make our day."

"Black Velvet Band Ceilidh Trio / Multicultural Ceilidh / May 2025 Many thanks to Black Velvet for the fab barn dance for my husband’s 60th. We set them the challenge of providing all-age, muslim-friendly dances for a multicultural community; Our guests included friends and neighbours from Afghanistan, Iran, Pakistan, Somalia, South Africa and Cameroon. Mike and his band rose to the occasion with single sex sets, non gendered calling, and a clever choice of dances (including one with no physical contact at all!). We were so impressed with the attention to detail that enabled everyone to take part. Here are quotes from two of our younger guests: “That was the best evening of my whole life,” Radman, aged 8 “Please can you invite me to your next birthday party when you are 61,” Rayan, aged 8"

"From the moment we saw the Gospel Choir at the open day at our wedding venue, The Oakwood at Ryther, we got goosebumps; we knew we had to book them for our wedding straight away! And they truly did not disappoint! All of our guests, even the photographer and the registrar, commented on how amazing the choir were. The booking process was easy and any questions we had, there was no hesitation in answering. Can honestly say these guys made our day! Thank you!"

"You guys are amazing! I couldn't believe it when during the Dashing White Sergeant that you went straight into a Pink Floyd tune!! It was inspired! I'll be recommending you guys for our society's reunion event!"

"Patrick stepped in last minute to play at our wedding on 9th July 2016 and was absolutely incredible. Exceptionally talented, professional and a true gent. He even donned a cape to play outside as our guests arrived in the pouring rain. I would highly recommend Patrick to anyone for any occasion!"

"We organise several major trade dinners every year which require a live band and quite simply we’ve never had a better band than 90's Rewind. 90's Rewind always engage the crowd and pack the dance floor with great music to a highly professional standard - the whole time they work incredibly hard to make it a fun night. They also play continuously to accommodate our specific schedule and audience type. They are easy to work with, they are very reliable and because of this we have booked them several times well in advance to ensure we can use them on our date, as it’s good to have complete confidence that every one of our guests is guaranteed a great night! I would encourage anyone to book 90's Rewind…….They are brilliant!"
