Review Centre: Acoustic Bands

"Simone is a brilliant vocalist and we were so pleased that she was available to sing at our wedding reception back in Sept 2015. Many of our guests commented on how good she and her acoustic band were and how the lovely, soulful sound created a wonderful, relaxed atmosphere. In the run-up to the big day, Simone helped me choose the songs for the set from her playlists, which was a godsend in the busy period before the wedding. I highly recommend Simone and her band for any event as their professionalism, style and sound make them a fantastic, class act. Thank you again for being such a big part of our special day."

"The second time we have used this band, they are so wonderful. We had an awards evening and the band played as people arrived, they were fantastic and lots of guests remarked how amazing they were!"

"I just wanted to let you know how much we appreciated your music. You might think you were being ignored, but I've spoken to lots of people who've commented on how excellent you've been. "

I'm so sorry for the ridiculously slow response to your lovely review! I didn't receive any notificiation and have just stumbled across it. You must think me very ungrateful. Thanks so much for going to the trouble of writing this, we really appreciate it. I hope you're well. Very best wishes Alison x

"They flew all the way from Brighton—a place that’s very special to us—and went above and beyond to make it happen. They came highly recommended by our wedding planner (who had them at her own wedding!), and still managed to exceed all our expectations. We wanted a full day of 80s music, and the Spark Up Band lads delivered in every way—from laid-back tunes in the sunshine during our cocktail hour, to opening the dance floor with our first dance, and keeping the party going late into the night. We had compliments on the music and atmosphere all day, and that’s entirely down to them. Their energy and talent truly brought the whole day together. If you’re looking for a band for your wedding, party, or event, we couldn’t recommend them more. Thank you so much to the whole Spark Up Band crew for making the trip and making the day unforgettable—we’re so grateful!"

"We had a fabulous evening being entertained by Gypsy Cabaret Collective, a group which my gorgeous cousin is part of. Fraser showed his comedic side and Piper showed a bit of love for the poi. Piper also loved taking part in the proceedings. The boys listened to their CD all the way home and even asked for it to be turned up and asked when can we see them again."

"We couldn’t recommend Dahlia highly enough! Heather was so prompt and friendly with communication in the lead-up to our wedding, and incredibly accommodating with our requests. They played everything perfectly on the day and made the music feel so personal and special to us. Their repertoire was fabulous and it created such a lovely atmosphere during our drinks reception. Our only regret is that, as bride and groom, we didn’t have more time to sit and properly listen to them ourselves! Dahlia also played at my brother’s wedding, so they’ve now made two family weddings extra special. Thank you for the beautiful music at both - we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend you!"

"I am writing to thank you so much for providing the amazing band, Funk With Us to perform at our Chamber Awards Thursday 18th November at Westenhanger Castle. The dance floor was full from the start of the band playing to the very last number with shouts of ‘more’ from the audience after the last one was played. Funk With Us added another level to our most successful Awards evening yet and we have had so many compliments from the guests. Every member of the band was brilliant from the 2 singers who invited the dancers to sing with them on vocals, the saxophonist mingling and the solo guitar performance, drums, bass and keys. It was such an enjoyable evening. We wish you all the best for the rest of the year and into 2022! With kind regards, Jo James OBE Chief Executive Invicta Chamber Business Awards"

"We're so glad we found Spark Up Band to play at our tipi wedding - it was an incredible way to end to the day. The dance floor was filled from start to finish with guests of all ages! They completely got the vibe of the day and brought a fantastic atmosphere to the evening. We can't thank them enough for coming to the rescue with a last minute glitch - we were in very safe hands! We hope to have another occasion to book them again!"

"Absolutely incredible!! They had everyone dancing from start to finish. Very professional and super talented musicians. The venue staff even commented that they were the best band they'd had play at one of their weddings! If you love live music and want something a little different that's going to keep everyone up on the dance floor, book these guys! Jose is also a really lovely friendly guy, and made the booking experience smooth and easy."
