"We were so happy Casado played at our wedding! They were so so friendly and very open to our requests, including some specific songs from musicals and Disney films. They also played some favourite jazz pieces that we asked for in addition to their own repertoire of swing and Latin jazz, which suited the occasion perfectly. Our guests loved the live music during the drinks reception, outside on the terrace. Casado were very flexible and worked closely with us to make our day very special. The mix of instruments was lovely and made their whole set feel so fun. They were incredibly accommodating and everything we could have wished for. We would highly recommend them for any occasion!"

"We just wanted to say a massive thank you to yourself and the band for Saturday. The band were excellent, got all the guests involved with the music and made the night really special. They were also very friendly and happy to be flexible with the time delays. Thanks again, it was a pleasure working with you throughout and we will be sure to recommend Absolute Company to anyone who needs a good band. "

"I just wanted to get in touch and say a huge thank you for playing at our wedding on Sunday. Everything sounded fantastic. I was really disappointed that the time you were playing we had to disappear to have our photos taken as we could have stood and listened to your music all day! Thank you for also accommodating our requests. I was so pleased that the time we were in the room we heard the swan and edelweiss as they’re firm favourites of ours. All of our guests commented on how professional all your playing was, it really did bring the atmosphere of the wedding together."

"Girl Gone Rogue earned their right to be part of our festival this year by beating other entrants in our talent competition. They blew the audience away with their talent, energy and personality. Their selection of music is brilliant, and play lists are of music that all parties know and will enjoy. We will be asking them to return this year and for next years event. You will not be disappointed. "

"I wanted to thank Warwickshire strings for being a part of Peter and my wedding day today - they were absolutely perfect! From the professional and helpful planning by Rachel before our big day to the whole ensemble playing brilliantly before, during and after our service. We had so many people saying they really made the wedding service so special and loved every minute of them playing. I can't thank Rachel enough for being with us in our day and wouldn't hesitate to recommend them. "

"Just a quick big up for the band. The guys were awesome and everyone at our Christmas party loved the whole interaction with the crowd and the choice of songs. They were totally professional and loved the fact they stayed for a drink afterwards and mixed with the party guests and chatted. A great night had by all. "

"‘She’s Electric’ played at our wedding this year and were amazing! They knew exactly what the vibe was and tailored their songs to suit everyone, building up to the point that everyone was dancing! They are clearly both very talented and we could not have asked for a better way to celebrate into the evening with our guests. Everyone commented on how perfect the songs were and they obviously know which ones to play to get everyone involved! We cannot recommend them enough, thank you!"

"In Edinburgh, this is a rare chance to hear beautiful bossa nova music band. Today I was walking on the street to go somewhere for enduring an another cloudy summer day and right after cross the load the rhythm of bossa nova came out from a Bar near by. I got just carried away with the sound then just went in the bar alone ehich I have never tried to do, lol. (As a married and an introvert Asian woman perhaps) Sérgio was playing guitar with a drummer and their bossa nova playing got me almost tears came up. It was so beautiful moment for me. How deadly I have been wishing to hear bossa nova in Edinburgh. I have no idea why I haven’t been able to find his name when I google any type of bossa nova concert or live event in Edinburgh while I am living here almost 3 years. :-( Their music even brought sunshine back here in Scotland at the end of their performing today. lol. So appreciate for that I could have their great performing today under the sunshine in summer! I agree with the previous reply as he wrote that many people at bar or restaurant don’t listen to the music. However, at least today I can tell you that there was only their music and I in my universe at the moment and it was full of life feeling. Thank you Sérgio!"

"The band played our wedding in July and were absolutely brilliant! The dance floor was packed and the set list was just what we wanted. We had so many comments from guests on the day and since about how fantastic they were. We looked at so many bands but after seeing Radio Dukes videos and speaking to Mitch, we had no hesitation in booking them. They arrived on time and were very friendly and professional. Also, we’d highly recommend the five-piece band - the saxophonist was fantastic and having two great vocalists made the sets even better. Thanks to Mitch and the band for making the evening so memorable!"

"We would like to thank the James Bond Orchestra for having made our wedding so special. Absolutely everybody commented on how great the bands were and that you were the best bands they had ever heard. Alex and I could not stop smiling from the moment you started to play and I had goose-bumps all over my body. It was just such a great night and thank you again. Alex is waiting to hear about a possible date for his company dinner dance. Rest assured when this date is known we will contact you.

In the mean time we hope to see you in the Jazz Cafe which is our local venue and we believe you already played there in the past. Thank you so much!!!"
