Hi Sally, everyone was so happy. Playing as a duo for the ceremony and then again as a 6 piece for 200 'party people' in the evening was a lovely day for us too. Sharon and Martyn

"THE PERFECT ADDITION TO OUR PERFECT DAY 🥁🎸 We were honestly bowled over with how amazing these guys were at our recent wedding! From the time of booking, communication from Henry and the guys was great, keeping us at ease and talking us through our options and reassuring any nerves that we had. They were super accommodating, adding another female vocalist for the evening at our request (and she was amazing!) As well as organising an acoustic singer for our wedding breakfast, who was again, phenomenal! We did a first dance with a twist, mixing an old time classic into the modern day Drum and Bass mix and the guys went to the trouble of splicing these 2 tracks together to ensure that it blended well (and it went off when it did 🕺). For the whole band sets. WOW. Absolutely smashed it out the park! Our guests were up dancing, the playlist was spot on and all of our guests have been commenting on how great the band and entertainment was. I really can't recommend these guys enough, the perfect party atmosphere and reasonably priced! Worth every penny! Thank you so much guys! Just wish we could do it all again!"

"The band were excellent. The booking process was incredibly easy and smooth - they let us have input on the set list too which was much appreciated. On the night they were prompt on arrival and set up - worked with our other entertainment too to make the best experience for our guests, Would happily recommend them! "

"We were lucky enough to have booked The Bluebird Trio for our wedding. They turned up in plenty of time to set up. They were extremely professional, and we were absoultly blown away when they started there first set. All the guests at our wedding were very impressed with tbe girls. There second set was as good as the first, fantastic. I cannot recommend the girls enough ! You really will not be disappointed. Thank you Bluebirds for making our day one to remember. X x x "

"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 🤠🥳🎶🔊❤️"

"Cannot thank Jeff enough for his exceptional performance at my sisters wedding in July this year. So helpful and professional to work with and almost definitely the best sax set I’ve heard . Will be sure to contact again for all future events and would highly recommend. "

"Well, you truly are Songbirds. We are so happy that you came and sang for us at my Mum's 90th birthday party. I can't tell you enough how much she and all the guests enjoyed it, my mum was over the moon. You stole the show with your harmonies and it was so lovely that people got up to dance. My mum said that every now and then when she looked at you and listened, she felt 19 again and back to her days singing and dancing in the halls of wartime Britain. She is still talking about it now! "

"The singer and the rest of the band were superb when they played at our Cheshire wedding. We can't thank you all enough - everyone loved you guys and guests keep telling us how much they enjoyed the band! You performed our first dance song so well and the perfect mix of jazz, swing and modern jazz went down a treat. A special thanks to you all!"
