Review Centre: Background Music Bands

"My (now) wife and I booked the King’s Quartet to play at our wedding ceremony and reception in November 2017, and they were undoubtedly one of the highlights of the day. Despite contracting them at a relatively late stage (around three weeks before the event), they were very open to our requests, and the quality of their playing was excellent. As our wedding was quite small, their music really added to the ambience without overwhelming guests' conversations. We were also impressed with their professional service. They were smartly dressed, arrived exactly on time and managed the transition between the three rooms they had to play in without any problems."

You sang our first dance song perfectly (I couldn’t help but sing along haha). Thank you again so much, we are so glad you were a part of our big day. Much love xxx"

"Hi Bradley, Thank you so much for Saturday! You have honestly been an absolute pleasure to deal with which makes a huge difference within the stress of an event. It's very rare our piano ever gets played so it was wonderful to listen to you playing it so beautifully during the champagne reception. Simply stunning. Thank you for letting my cousin and Grandad join in for a duet :) I'm certain that we will be in touch again soon for another family event. All the best, Hannah."

"We were so pleased we booked Duncan. He's brilliant at what he does and it really added to the relaxed and fun atmosphere of the day, we wished we had booked him for longer! He was also so friendly, a real pleasure to have at our wedding."

"We booked a trio (piano, violin and cello) to play upbeat classical and some modern music at my mother's 80th birthday dinner/party in the local pub. Silja and the 2 other musicians were utterly professional from start to finish - both when organising the event and on the actual day. The violin and cello played outside as it was nice weather while guests enjoyed drinks and canapes, and then the piano was added to the mix when we moved indoors for the dinner. Nothing was too much trouble. Silja and co were very accommodating, fitting in with speeches and songs - and even composed and played a family birthday tune that we asked them to play! I would definitely recommend Rigaudon Music for this type of event and would have no hesitation in booking them again! Thank you for helping to make our event so special."

"I have seen Tom perform at least every month - following him for ten years plus - he has a fantastic voice and his partner is just as good as Tom! Both very talented artists."

"Primed exceeded all expectations with their performance. We have received comments from all of our guests (of all ages) on how great they were, many saying they are the best function band they have seen. The First Dance song that we requested couldn't have been performed better, and set us up for a perfect party! Andy was incredibly professional from our initial enquiry right up until the end of the night, and was a pleasure to work with. He arrived in plenty of time to ensure everything was ready, and they even played some extra ad hoc requests from our guests at the end of their sets. There are so many bands out there to choose from, and I spent weeks before selecting Primed. We honestly couldn't have chosen better, the standard is fantastic and they are extremely talented. We really can't recommend them highly enough. More than happy to give some more feedback if it helps. Thanks again and hopefully get to see you perform again in the future"

"Lady Monica performed a soul divas set at our work conference after-party. She was so warm, bubbly and entertaining to watch on stage. Then her voice... wowwww! Soooo rich and soulful. The Amy Winehouse songs sounded like her own! She took me back to listening to vinyl records on a Saturday afternoon. Simply breathtaking."

"We were both overjoyed at the services you provided for our wedding on 16th April 2015 at The Upperhouse, Barlaston, Staffs. From our original enquiry, right through to the final played piece on the day, the total experience and contact was nothing but professional. You gave us suggestions to help to us decide what we wanted based on your experience, but were also more than happy to accommodate any thoughts or ideas we had. It was great to see the extensive repertoire of the musicians beforehand to help make our choices and to see our date on your websites up coming events. On the big day, none of our guests knew of the trio performing and were absolutely amazed at the playing on their arrival, at the ceremony and the wedding breakfast. Everyone commented on how good the music was and how it delicately enhanced the occasion, especially as we were able to have the ceremony outside in the pagoda at venues gardens. The trio also took some requests at the wedding breakfast which was a nice touch. I have passed on your details to all of my guests. We hope you enjoyed playing for our wedding as much as we enjoyed listening to the performances. "

"What an absolute pleasure to have Ariana String Quartet play before, during and after our wedding ceremony. They were friendly, professional and wonderful musicians. So many of our guests commented on how lovely they were to listen to. They understood what we wanted and played all the music we asked them to so beautifully."
