Review Centre: Function Bands

"OMG where to begin?!? What an amazing experience we had, from our initial contact with the group/owner/lead singer, Lilac, all the way through to our wedding day. Before booking we had a fair amount of correspondence, information bouncing backwards and forwards with my specific questions to their professional opinions and information. I had a vision which I presented and it was clear from the start we could trust them to produce exactly what was wanted. Once we confirmed our booking, over the 12 months before our wedding, there were zoom chats and even a dinner date for us all to meet and put together our tailored set list arrangements, for both solo acoustic sets and country band sets (which we had booked a 5 piece but due to some changes in circumstances ended up with an 8 piece 🫶🏼👌🏼) Their professionalism is 2nd to none and faultless. On the big day, they arrived early, with their engineer not only managing to get a whole lot of equipment set up and maintained for 2 different on site locations but also spending time documenting the highlights.. the work that goes on behind the scenes is paramount and knowing the basics I was highly impressed. Now, for the performances.. obviously this is what everyone soaks in the most! Perfection is in the eye of the beholder and as I have no doubt, the band will confirm this, my requirement of this is relentless (the musical element to the day was almost as important to me as the day itself) and I can hand on heart express how I felt their performances were exactly the level of perfection I envisioned. I'm not the crying kind, I held back tears at the ceremony but Lilac managed to break me during her solo acoustic performances twice! Upon the band starting to play for our bride and groom enterance to the marquee we were compelled to jump straight onto the dance floor and we were both encapsulated by a stunning performance. Not being one to usually be found on the dancefloor too long I felt the lack of need to leave for the entire 1st set. I remember a conversation with Lilac about being able to get all the guests dancing and my stating I'll put every effort into ensuring that dancefloor was filled. Well, within the 1st minute we went from Mr & Mrs alone on the floor to having the room filled, although my assertiveness instigated this, it was the band that kept them all there from start to finish. What a wonderful wedding we had and what an epic musical experience everyone had! We've had nothing but high praise from all our guests and my only response is "weren't they amazing?!" Finally, on a personal level. These guys are absolutely as lovely as they are professional. Their genuine passion for what they do and their personalities shine through not only their performances with smiles, energy and interactions but just in conversation before and afterwards. Outstanding work, beautiful people. We love you, we loved what you did for us and appreciate each of you for being you and being a major piece of the best day of both our lives 🫶🏼👌🏼🤗 Thankyou!!!! Oh, and they can even provide a videographer and other services if required.. just another quick plug for you. Yee Hawww 🤠🥳🎶🔊❤️"

"Wow! What can we say?! Thank you, thank you, thank you! You guys are phenomenal! The Jazz duo during the meal - amazing. I’m so pleased you offered this to us as it was so special and just added a certain ‘something’! I know the table closest to the Duo were in their element! Then the evening! Oh my goodness you all are incredible! Thank you for the atmosphere that you created, it was so fun! Very hot and a bit sweaty, but so fun! We won’t hesitate to recommend you and are trying to find every occasion to have you to play again! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts"

"Shakers Gold were AMAZING at our wedding; we couldn't have asked for more. They kept everyone dancing all night and so many guests commented on how fantastic the band were. As newly weds, we have loved looking back at the pics of everyone having such a good time and dancing the night away! The defining moment was definitely when my husband and I found each other on the dance floor for Shakers Gold final (sob!) number, Mr Brightside. Lots of jumping and hugging ensued; it was a fab way to end the night, as guests shouted 'more'! Shakers Gold.. you. are. brilliant!"

"Phunk Pilots provided a great evening of music at a recent local event. Awesome variety of songs and a cracking long set that kept everyone dancing, (I thought it was their last song of the night 3 times!) Can't wait to here them again."
