"We had such an amazing time - thank you to you and the rest of your band for making our evening so good! The music and songs you did were great and everyone enjoyed themselves! Thanks too for being so nice to deal with from start to finish - nothing was too much trouble both in pre-arrangements and on the night. You were a pleasure to have at our wedding and we will certainly be recommending you to others. "

"Thank you Blue Jewel for making the night so memorable! Everything we hoped and more. We hired a barn in the middle of nowhere for our wedding anniversary, and Blue Jewel came and made the night something special to remember. The band were so easy going and they sounded brilliant live. The caller made it so easy to follow we had 8 year old children dancing with grans and granddads. My aunt said afterwards 'it's impossible NOT to have a smile on your face as you to this!'. I can't put it any better than that. Everyone had a great time. I would 100% recommend, we hope to see you chaps again in the future at our next gig! x"

"After booking the Duo for our daytime, we decided to add the band last minute and it turned out to be the best call ever... I can’t actually imagine how our evening would’ve been without them. UNREAL!"

"They were absolutely brilliant. They really got everyone up on the dance floor and led the sets so that all the guests could really enjoy the dancing. We had a lot over from Canada and they still haven’t stopped telling us how much they enjoyed it. The Scots amongst us also appreciated how good they were and how hard they worked to ensure it was great fun. They helped make the wedding a very special and unforgettable day for Joseph and Amanda.

"What a superb set for Nia and Adrian’s Wedding at the Manor House – Celtic Manor, Newport. The quality of the music, the enthusiastic delivery, the engagement with your audience, the energy, the selection of music, the professional competence, and the overwhelming sense that you knew the evening was special to us all and that you delivered accordingly. Your contribution was the buzz for the evening and indeed when our guests came to reflect on the evening. You helped to create the perfect memory for us all."

"Stuart, thank you for a sterling evening on Saturday - everyone had a great time as was witnessed by the amount of dancing (despite the age of some of the participants.  Thank you very much for supporting us and doing the Address to the Haggis as well as the Selkirk Grace - it is very much appreciated (especially as you have such a passionate delivery of the words).  Thanks go to Jill as well as she is the perfect caller for a group like ours where many are novices and the rest of us forget the steps from one year to the next. I'm sorry I didn't catch the name of your keyboard player, but she is to be commended too as you 3 make an extremely professional team. "

"My hubby and I booked The Spectrum for our wedding this year. We originally booked another band around 9 months ago but they cancelled on us two months before our wedding. We nearly just booked a DJ and played it safe because we hadn't heard them live but once we listened to their demo's and saw the list of songs they choose from I knew they were the ones! Also speaking to James, one who sings, reassured us both and he was really helpful. It's clear that they have played for lots of weddings and understand how important it is to get things right! They played our first dance and from then on our reception was amazing! Everyone I spoke to commented on the band and how much fun it was. Plus some of my guests liked dancing with the guitarist on the dance floor when he was playing a solo! I would thoroughly recommend them and hope to see them at another wedding soon!"

"What a brilliant band! We booked Michael’s group at a fairly short notice for our afternoon garden party. Michael phoned me twice before the event to check details and discuss our requirements. They arrived early, in plenty of time to set up, and advised on the best place for them to perform. The music was fantastic, they really involved everyone and got people dancing and joining in. They looked and sounded great, and turned the party into a great event. Thank you!"

"GYD played our wedding in 2014, we asked for the acoustic set and we could not fault them. Emma sang me down the aisle and created the most beautiful atmosphere. I have since seen them play as a group and would recommend them to anyone!"

"Another amazing wedding event last night with the fabulous Soul'N'Funk, Lee and Kate’s first dance ‘You Send Me’ Gregory Porter. Performed for the first time by the band went down a treat to the surprised Bride. Guest trumpet player for the evening, the hugely talented, and very nice guy…… Bryan Corbett - Brand New Heavies."
