"Just a quick note to say a MASSIVE thank you for being such an amazing band. We absolutely loved you at our wedding and you made the evening a total success (well I think Gareth and I might have had something to do with that as well!!!), but everyone since the wedding has commented on how good you were and how many guests were dancing. Cannot praise you enough and have already recommended you to any friends that are getting married next year. "

"We booked Elephants in the Room for our Wedding in July 2019, they were incredible. From the very start of communications they were professional, polite and informative of what they needed and what they could offer. On the day we couldn't have asked for any more from them, perfect technically, great stage presence and people-pleasing set-list. Will be recommending them to anyone who is after a function band!"

"From the initial message onwards he was helpful, upfront and professional and managed to work with me to provide a service within my budget. The communication was always timely and helpful and he made sure he had all the information to provide a performance that fit in with what I was looking for. They showed up on time and set up with no distraction to the rest of the party then put on an incredible performance. The playing and singing was spot on and they were clearly in tune with each other as a band. The setlist was absolutely spot on with what I was hoping for, with a good mix of older rock classics, some alternative, some modern pop and plenty of indie rock which was exactly what I was hoping for. Sonic Landslide even played a Tom Petty song for me at my request despite it being only 3 days before the event. Their lively and engaging playing style meant they got everyone up on their feet dancing and they ensured music was playing even between sets so the guests were never not entertained. Mike and the band were more than happy to chat with guests between sets and were all polite and friendly but weren't intrusive to the party. Overall, I could not recommend Sonic Landslide enough. They are timely, professional and reliable and will put on a performance that will blow your socks off!"

"I was slightly nervous about using a band we had never met but in the event the band was brilliant. There was a lot of flexibility around the song selection and their voices were incredible. I came down the aisle to their version of ‘Amazing Grace’, it was so special. It makes me tingle all over just recalling it. Every song was sang beautifully. So many of our guests commented on how good the band were. You made our marriage service very memorable and special. "

"Amazing band! Spoke to Nicky, the lead singer, prior to our wedding and she was very friendly and sorted everything out. They turned up right on time and performed 2 sets, the music was great, and the dance floor was full. Really really chuffed! The band made the event amazing!"

"Carousel Duo were absoloutely brilliant at our event. We had a mixed crowd of ages ranging from 6 to 80! Carousel kept us entertained throughout the evening. I cannot give them enough praise for their ability to adapt both to the Musical requirements from the audience and the 'elbows out' DJ who wanted more space than the Dance Floor!! Ian and his lovely wife were very relaxed and friendly. They provided a quality show way above my expectations, with costumes and lights, the whole works... We will certainly hire them again......"

You were very friendly, approachable and professional at all times, so it really was a pleasure. Wishing you all the best and I hope to catch up with you soon! All the best, Katie "
