Review Centre: Background Music Bands

"Thank you so much to Scotland Strings playing beautiful pieces of music throughout our wedding ceremony at Mansfield Traquair 29th March 2015. The string quartet created the most amazing and romantic atmosphere as our guests arrived, and it made the moment I walked down the aisle feel magical. They continued through our drinks reception, keeping our guests delighted and entertained while we snuck away for some time with the photographer. I would definitely recommend The Quartet – a talented and professional group of musicians playing effortless and seamless renditions of popular and traditional music. Thank you for being part of our special day and making it the most wonderful moment of our lives."

"Just wanted to say a huge thank you for performing at our wedding. You rocked. Everyone has complimented you and several asked for your details. The Present really made the evening reception. I hope you got enough to eat/drink too. I've just about got over the slow dance to robbie williams (haha) but there are some amazing photos from that particular part. My youngest cousin, who is now your biggest fan, definitely had a good time, I hope he hasn't been stalking you or anything wierd like that ... but he will at the very least never forget our wedding. Anther memorable part that was ultimately your responsibilty was the brides father swinging his jacket off to sex on fire! Classic! Anyway Sinead and I are so so grateful for your contribution to our day. Nice one!"

"These guys did an absolute cracking job for us, and had the audience (although few in numbers) fixed with a fantastic performance. They did all the classics that suited our varied music tastes. They had folks up dancing nearly all night. Well done. Highly recommended"

"Was an absolute pleasure to have The Rosewood String Quartet, Yvette was very quick to respond to my numerous questions, they were very accommodating and went down a storm on the evening, playing a collection of modern and rock on the strings was exactly what we were looking for to just start our event. All four members were also extremely friendly and approachable, would highly recommend."

"Simon was very easy to work with – and flexible on what the band could play. At very short notice they had to add some traditional bar mitzvah music to their repertoire, which they played very well. Also with almost no notice, Simon had to take over the role of MC during the later part of the evening, as our MC was slightly indisposed. He did that very well. The music was mainly dance music that most people could enjoy, either dancing or just listening to. We all loved it including my 20-year-old nephew who is studying piano at Trinity. Guests were dancing the night away and the music really added to the joyous atmosphere. And the sound level was kept at a reasonable level, so those who did not want to dance could still talk. We received lots of compliments on our choice of band. I definitely recommend them."

"I hired these guys for my 30th birthday party as I am a big jazz enthusiast and boy did they deliver. It felt like a mixture of stepping into the past with their older repertoire and reliving the present with the newer stuff that they play. Great energy and stage presence as well. Couldn't recommend enough."

"I booked the group Jazzman for my Birthday party - The entire process from reviewing the band online & listening to their clips, booking with Sarah & her team and the actual entertainment delivered on the day was second to none. Nik the band leader was courteous and very helpful throughout the day...his singing & the band dynamics were excellent and all of my family & friends had a memorable day. Many thanks to Last Minute Musicians whom I will be using again. Great Job!"

"I just wanted to say a big thank to you all for playing at our wedding yesterday. My only regret on what was a fantastic day was that I didn't get to hear more of your beautiful music. All of our guests said how much they enjoyed your playing & that it was a bonus that you were all so good looking too! "

"We couldn't recommend Sax 'n' Keys enough. We had a small wedding — 45 people — in a restaurant in the West End of Glasgow. Sax ’n’ Keys played as our guests arrived and throughout the drinks and canapés, and they were perfect. They set the ideal mood and really kicked off our whole day. We didn’t choose a set list but left it up to them, and we’re so glad we did — the music was absolutely excellent. There wasn’t a single guest who didn’t comment on how good it was. Both Kenny and Gordon were a pleasure to deal with. I requested 'Isn’t She Lovely' for when the top table took their seats, and they happily adjusted everything to suit our timings. Thank you, Kenny and Gordon — incredible musicians and true gentlemen!"
