"What an AMAZING band!!!! The dance floor was full from the minute you started playing right through to the end of our evening! What lovely guys, Craig helped organise everything with us beforehand in the weeks leading up to the wedding ? And our first dance song was just perfect ? We cannot thank you enough!"

"The Belles were amazing. They were completely professional and contributed to our wedding that really complemented the tone of the day. We were only a small wedding but they got us all up dancing and were great fun as well as really impressive performers. Would absolutely recommend them to anyone and would definitely want to use them again should we have the event that requires it."

"We spent a great deal of time trying to find the right group to play at our summer wedding, and were so lucky to find Evelyn & the Band. We were spellbound by their demo songs and videos, which they easily outperform in person. Their repertoire is very broad, which makes them perfect for the wide spectrum of tastes at a typical wedding. The band contacted us well in advance to get a feel for the music we wanted, and how they would fit into the programme for the day. After our first chat, they produced a draft playlist, which they were happy to tweak to include a few favourites. They also offered to learn whatever we wanted for our first dance, and gave such a spellbinding performance of it on the night that we had to dance for nearly two minutes on our own before the best man could snap everyone out of it! They brought some fun background tunes to play whilst they weren’t on stage, and were very helpful in explaining what we should provide in the way of power and space for them to perform. They gave a really fabulous performance, getting folks dancing and singing along throughout the evening. We couldn’t have been more delighted with their music, or enjoyed ourselves more. We thoroughly recommend you book them while you can!"

"Jay played at my wedding from when the ceremony finished and also at my wedding breakfast, I got married two months ago and still all my guests are talking about is how fantastic Jay was, his motivation, creativity and emotion worked amazing with all the guests from all walks of life and he managed to judge them well to what he should or shouldn’t do around them. Not one person had a bad word to say about Jay i can honestly say he is a wonderful performer and an extremely nice person to deal with, any other event i may have in the future he will be my first point of call. A Class act! "

"An absolutely fantastic night again, thank you Chris. You helped to make it a really great party and always get the tone of the guests absolutely right so that everyone is happy with the selection of songs that you are playing. I think that’s the fourth time you’ve played for us at various family dos and it's always a great success."

"Just to thank you again for last night and your 3 band members. As I said last night we had lots of compliments and comments that were re-iterated at the brunch this morning - how good you were, how you got the level of sound correct and how nice Cath's voice was. Lyn (most importantly) was delighted - it was just as she'd wanted, so many thanks and hope to be able to work with you again in the future."

"Martha & Ben were amazing!! They really made our day special. They played a set of background music during our wedding breakfast, with perfect song choices, and very professional service. We couldn't recommend more highly. Thank you, Martha and Ben!"

"I can't speak highly enough of this band, they are professional, talented & sound amazing. Before the wedding Jess worked very hard with the venue to ensure we could have the best possible line up for our reception and set up a surprise happy birthday for the mother of the bride with no problems. Thank you for helping to make our special day fun & memorable! Luke & Noriko"

"A masterclass in blustery jazz swing infused with addictive rhythm and blues, blazing horns and galloping double bass, with highlights coming thick and fast!"
