"Kay sang at our bar recently after we saw some of her performances on social media. She wowed us with her professionalism and talent as an artist and really understood the demographic of the crowd. Thanks!"

"Hi Matt, Thank you so much for playing at our wedding. You performed an amazing range of songs and had everyone from our 18 month godson to our 90 year old grandparents up on the dance floor. Thank you! Emily and Luke."

"All our ladies dressed up in 1950 style with the backdrop of Michael Buble experience - Michael was a genuine guy with a real feel of Buble, he wasn't intimidated by 16 excitable ladies. He really made a difference to our day. He was happy to have his photo taken with us all too. Visit him at one of the many venues in North Kent."

"We booked the string duo on 17th August 2019 and they were fantastic. The music was beautiful and they were so easy to work with we didn't have to do anything, which was incredibly helpful. We would highly recommend Magenta Strings to others looking to book a string duo or quartet."

"Garage Nation were the most incredible addition to our event. They were professional from the moment they entered the venue, the dance floor was full the entire night and feedback from the attendees has been incredible. We can’t wait to book them again! "

"Just wanted to say a massive thank you for all your help with the booking and a massive thank you to the guys coz they were amazing! My daughter has asked if they will play at her 21st, thankfully not for a few years but if I can afford a big do you are at the top of the list!!!! It was great to see the teenagers singing and dancing along with us oldies... I wish I had had more time to join in and dance, the stilettos also hindered me slightly!" Liz "What a fantastic evening we had the other week. All my guest were raving about it - even the ones that don't much care for Rock, the unenlightened ones!! Thank you so much for providing such great entertainment"

"Thanks so much, we are so pleased that we selected you guys for the party – the band did a fantastic job and made it a night to always remember. They were so tight and such a great bunch of blokes too. We had so many comments about what a great band they were and many people asked how we found you. Our little boys, also now have new heroes! Little Jacob has now built a foot pedal to go with his plastic guitar. We really appreciate how great (and patient) the band were with them as they set up. Yes, it was greatly enjoyable building the playlists, thanks so much for your support with this. Our next long car journey to see family miles away should be a lot of fun. The photos you shared are fantastic. It was very thoughtful and kind of Jay to arrange the group shot which gives us a lasting visual memory. The band shots are a great surprise and are completely awesome! We will have to put in a frame alongside the set list they left behind!"

""We were so impressed with It's No Reel. They delivered exactly what they said they would, with no hassle or worries. We couldn't belive they did a cover of the Game of Thrones theme tune. We asked on the off chance, but they did a beautiful version for our first dance. The guests absolutely loved the band. The music got everyone up dancing and seeing everyone so happy made it all worth it. Thank you"."

"Your band was incredible! Your huge selection of iconic James Bond theme songs made our 007-themed gala come alive, and added a new level of energy to the night. The variety of vocal and instrument talent and the perfect choice of dance songs at the end, set James Bond Orchestra apart from any others I’ve heard. Thanks for taking our event to a new level!"

"We saw Sarah at a local event and loved her set. With our wedding reception/party in the planning it was an obvious choice to have her join us and she did an amazing job. She played a wonderful set which really set the vibe for the night. It was amazing that she doesn't play all the same old songs which so many artists do and the feedback we had on her was incredible. Also, arranging everything with her was super straight forward and in my opinion, she is excellent value for the quality of set. We'll recommend her at every opportunity and hopefully we'll be able to book again in the future!"

"The Cheers played at our wedding in August and we couldn't have asked for a better band! They were absolutely fantastic, everyone had such a great time. Even though we didn't get chance to see them play before and they only have a few samples on-line they were superb. Don't let this put you off, there is no need to worry they played all night at our wedding and our guests loved them. A mix of old and new songs kept everyone on the dancefloor, the band were friendly and seemed to be enjoying themselves as much as we all did. If you are in need of a band The Cheers are to be booked! Thank you guys so much for making our wedding day so special, love Caroline and Stefan Witkowski - Wedding Date 18/08/2016"
