Last Minute Musicians Reviews

"Partyzone were absolutely superb and really got the party started at our wedding. Their broad repertoire of rock and indie songs was exactly what we were looking for and the performance on the night was fantastic. We gave the band a list of essential tracks and some that we definitely didn't want to hear and they stuck to that during the evening too. Ben was extremely helpful in the run up to the wedding as well, making sure the whole set went to plan. Highly recommended."

"They came, they saw, they played brass instruments and absolutely bowled everyone over. We had the pleasure of welcoming The Brass Junkies to play at our Wedding in Dorset, in May 2023. Having booked them via Band Leader, Andrew, in August 2022, the process and journey could not have been smoother. Taken through the options we opted for a 6 piece and boy did they smash it out of the park on the day. Amazing brass covers of modern and classics, our guests absolutely loved them and could not get enough. Our heartfelt thanks for making our day even more special, Ben and Maria!"

"I have played guitar with Des for a number of years and seen just how well he can adapt to different styles. He has excellent improvisational ability and is a very good accompanist. I would certainly recommend him for whatever function!"

"We contacted Caroline for our wedding in August, we were delighted to hear Caroline was available and was happy we had found the professional we were hoping for. We were told she would send an invoice in a few days, after a lengthy delay we received an email informing us that she was double booked but hoped we could find someone else for our day.... not quite the wedding professional you would hope for. Beware if you are looking to book."

Invoices are sent out within a week of a verbal or written confirmation as detailed on my auto-responder, although I endeavour to send them out sooner. In Hollie’s case I discovered, on writing the invoice that unfortunately, another person had requested and accepted a quote for the same date within the same week. The process had been to enter the date into my diary when the invoices were sent out to avoid any confusion, as many quotes are given out, but not all taken up. The fact that this rare situation had occurred was communicated to Hollie within the week of her written communication that she wished to proceed, and before the invoice had been sent out. Additional time had been spent sourcing and purchasing the best version of Hollie’s desired song as she had requested something outside of my repertoire list and I wanted to make sure that I had found a suitable version prior to writing Hollie’s invoice. However, processes are continually improved upon and the booking process has now been rectified so that a provisional booking is entered into the calendar at the point of a verbal or written confirmation, before an invoice has been sent out in order to prevent disappointment. - Caroline

"Just a quick e-mail to thank you for performing at my 50th Birthday Party on Saturday. With all events we were a little worried but clearly had no need to be. All went smoothly and you were an excellent addition to our celebrations. You both really made the night and a large number of people commented on how good you were, you were fantastic! Many thanks again, and will be in touch when I am 60!"

"Gareth could not have been more helpful and professional from our first 'planning' meeting to the very end of his entertaining playing at our reception. He certainly went the extra mile to make sure we had the music we wanted. He played the organ in the Church for the wedding ceremony and then rushed off to the reception and lunch venue to play the piano for our gathering guests. My husband is something of a jazz fan and so got on famously with Gareth and they both seemed to enjoy talking through the music we would have throughout the day - Gershwin, Stan Getz and lots in between. Having music at the reception was perfect - it wasn't at all 'wallpaper' but nor was it intrusive which is a very clever trick to pull off! It lifted the whole event to a new level. Thank you Gareth for helping to make our special day such a success - we were perhaps an unusual couple having a combined age over 150 but that didn't mean we were not keen to have lots of fun and smiles and the music was an important part of making this come true! Catherine Sacré Eassie 10/10"

"I just wanted to send a BIG thank you to you and the band for all of your amazing efforts on Friday!!! The guests were honestly so blown away with the party and we’ve already had so many ‘thank you’ s’ today, all expressing how amazed they were with it all and how much they loved you guys. Here is just a few of the comments we have received so far… The band were just the icing on top of the cake! They were amazing! I loved how they weren’t on a stage, and really involved the audience. Please can you send me the name of them so I have hit in my mind to recommend. The band were brilliant and I loved how they played such a wide range of music to suit everyone. It has to be the best event I have been to with regards to the theme running through the whole evening and the attention to detail was fantastic. We enjoyed it all, from the venue, the superb food, brilliant band and of course great hosts! Amy and I wanted to thank you all for a truly magical, enchanting evening last night – we had a fantastic time ! We especially loved your tree people and the band – they were amazing. It is so lovely working with you all, we all really appreciate your amazing work and the relationship we have."
