Last Minute Musicians Reviews

"Anna’s voice is magical. She reduced the whole congregation to tears- men and woman alike. We first heard Anna and her fabulous keyboard perform at a wedding we were photographing at and knew they would be perfect to play and sing at our sons wedding. Anna kept in touch via email during the months leading up to Laurence and Kim’s wedding, and she was punctual, professional and unassuming on the day. Anna’s performance was a surprise for the bride and congregation and was a highlight of the day. She sang from this moment on and as I said not a dry eye in the house. Many of our guests commented how wonderful she was. We wish them all the success and hope to hear her sing again soon. Best wishes Kate and Greg."

"Just to say a big thanks to After Dark for help making our wedding day so memorable. You guys are so professional and helpful right from the booking process, to learning our first dance song, the breadth of songs performed and the performance itself. So many of our guests commented on how incredible you were and think that was demonstrated by the fact you struggled to finish as the guests demanded more and more songs!"

"The best! Having witnessed them playing at a friends wedding and not only being impressed by their talent but how friendly they were, I booked them for my daughters 21st; which included people of all ages from 2 years old to 70yrs old and they were professional on time extremely friendly and flipping talented....everyone was up and dancing! Funnily enough even though it was my daughters party my Dad absolutely loved the boys...he was made up! "

"Charlotte and I just wanted to say a big thank you to your band for Saturday night! They brought so much fun and energy to the party. Your accordion player was a brilliant addition to the 12 Days of Christmas song and it made the perfect transition from dinner into the reeling. It was the first time I've seen reeling before and it looked like so much fun, I wanted to join in! Please pass on our thanks to your team. I appreciate it was a difficult set up with the two rooms and only having speakers in one room, but they made it work really well, so thank you for being flexible. Hope you all have a great Christmas and I will definitely recommend you to future clients who would like reeling at their wedding or party"

"Vernon is just the best! He recently came and sang at my birthday party and was a complete hit with me and all the guests. It was a surprise party so my husband organised for Vernon to sing for us and he got it spot on. Vernon was so personable to all our guests and adapted his songs to bring some humour to the occasion. I would 100% recommend Vernon to anyone and book him again in the future! Thanks so much Vernon! "

Dear Lindsay, thanks so much for such a lovely review and comments. I wasn't expecting a review from you after such a lovely review from James. Your party was a highlight for me. Friends and family who welcomed me with such warmth. I hope the bits of video that you all took remind you of a special and magical evening celebrating your birthday. Warmest regards, Vernon

"My daughter Gracie booked 77 Live some time ago, for her wedding in Lincolnshire, which took place just this last weekend. The band were excellent communicating before the event to discuss songs, orders and the playlist for the added DJ option - very flexible! On the day they arrived and set up seamlessly and what an impact they made to the celebration! From the newlywed's first dance, they ensured the dance floor was full and that all guests, whatever age, were simply having the best time! The engagement with the crowd and vibe was on point - the sax player coming into the dance floor was a real high point! The guests are still talking about how great the band were now! Thank you for making a special day all the more memorable and unique - highly recommended!"

"Bethany was absolutely amazing and made our big day so much more special! I really wish we had her for longer now as we didn't get to enjoy her as much as our guests as we were out having pictures taken. But it was lovely to know that all our guests were being entertained by her and her beautiful voice whilst we weren't there. Thank you Bethany xx"
