Review Centre: Latin / Salsa / Mariachi Bands

"I had an awesome birthday party thanks to the VIP Formula. The communication with the group before the event was impeccable, and I felt at ease immediately. During the event, the band was awesome and had the room dancing immediately. Had such a great time thanks to these guys, would definitely recommend for anyone looking for a latin band."

"Los Gitanos Kings played for us recently at our summer colleague get-together in the hotel’s courtyard garden. The weather was kind and Los Gitanos Kings added to the summery feel of the occasion through their choice of repertoire and their willingness to enter into the spirit of the occasion. Their performance garnered a lot of positive comments and I recommend them without hesitation. Thank you Chris and his colleagues. "

"I booked a saxophonist for my husbands 40th for 20 people. Rory was very friendly and talented. He played really well and the music was great and perfect for the occasion. Everyone enjoyed the music including the neighbours!   Also great service and easy to book.  Thank you Rory."

"The trio played for our client's open air Brazilian carnival summer barbeque. Combining swinging samba and bossa nova with uptempo popular tunes and funky originals, they went down a treat with our guests, creating a festive atmosphere and keeping them drinking and dancing until the embers glowed. The standard of musicianship was excellent and the level of professionalism very high. A great success!"

Hi Andy, That's great - thanks for this! Sure, please do get in touch should you require the Latin trio for any of your events (I know that the bar expressed an interest on the day). Thanks and best regards, Rory

"Not only is Natalia the most talented accordionist I've ever met, she is a remarkable human being and it was an honour to have her play at our wedding. She personalised the day for us, not only playing her complex and beautiful repertoire featuring the likes of our favourite accordionist, Yann Tiersen, but she also played (upon request for our rather strange ceremony) a few 'lesser-known' accordion 'classics': 'Home on the Range' and 'Jerusalem.' I will never forget hearing her begin to play 'La Valse d'Amelie' as I began my wedding procession into the meadow where I would marry my husband. She has a perfect presence when she plays, our guests loved her, and she truly made that day special for us. She was also very happy to have a drink with me in advance to chat about the wedding and get to know me. When we met I realised she is an absolutely lovely, glowing spirit who is always thinking of others. I'm so glad we flew her all the way to France for our big day! She was so worth it and we'll never forget her."

"Rory created a wonderful ambience at our dinner party with his saxophone playing. Chilled and relaxed whilst still striking a lively, upbeat note, the choice of repertoire was perfect for our occasion."

"Absolutely fabulous! I'm guessing it's not everyday you get asked to be a wedding surprise but Rory was incredibly professional and organised even when we were delayed. The performance was flawless and beautiful, and was probably the most memorable part of our day. We very much hope to hire him again for future occasions."

"We booked Carlito for our wedding evening party and he absolutely made the night! From the moment he stepped onto the dance floor with his sax, the energy in the room completely lifted. His freestyle sets alongside the DJ were incredible — smooth, vibrant, and perfectly in sync with every track. Our guests couldn’t stop talking about how amazing the atmosphere was. Carlito blended Ibiza-style vibes with classic party tunes and had everyone dancing non-stop. Professional, friendly, and unbelievably talented — he knew exactly how to read the crowd and take the party to another level. If you want your wedding party to feel unforgettable, Carlito is the one to book. We honestly couldn’t recommend him enough!"

"I recently had the pleasure of working with Edina to create a very special marriage proposal to my now fiancee. I am from the United States and it was a bit daunting to find a professional musician that could carry out my vision and communicate with me from over the pond! Edina was great from the first email, courteous and timely in reponse. She learned 3 new songs to perform for us and the vocalist that worked with her (Hettie) was great too. She also took special requests for a recording of the songs and champagne for us to toast. Edina and Hettie sat in the cold and waited for us to arrive at the proposal spot! And the performance was lovely, made us laugh and cry, and made the greatest moment completely surreal. I recommend working with Edina, she is a pleasure. "

"We would just like to say a big thank you to Pretige. The music they played was great and I must say they were one of the best bands I’ve heard for a while."

"The VIP Formula played at our wedding - they absolutely nailed it. Miguel kindly listened to our preferences and played a really fun set that all of our guests enjoyed and commented positively on. I would 100% recommend them,"

"We are so grateful for The VIP Formula! They really made our big day so very special. They delivered the most fun and amazing range of songs which invited all our guests to join and dance the whole time. They were on time, planned ahead together with us and the venue, their show and the list of songs making the whole evening run smoothly. The music was inclusive for all age ranges so not a single person stayed on their seats. We would really recommend this band. It was professional, exciting, on time, organised and with a true interest to help, entertain and make our night unforgettable. With all our gratitude, Steve & Mariana"

"I second Nikki's feedback. The guests absolutely loved Rory's music and were very complimentary to him. I would be very happy to recommend him for future bookings. Thanks so much for playing at our wedding. The entrance song (for both the aisle and the entrance to the dinner) was done so well, and I'm so happy that we had you there. Thanks for making this day even more special for us."
