" We would highly recommend StereoBeats! They were absolutely fantastic and blew us away on our big day. We had already seen them twice previously at friend's weddings and they just get better every time. Communication with David in the lead up was fab- helpful, friendly and timely responses. We had a few requests- playing certain songs during the break, a couple of ceilidh dances and our first dance song- all of which they did for us. We were particularly pleased with our first dance song, we had asked for a bit of a mash up of a dance song and a classic- the band well and truly delivered this and we couldn't have been happier with it!! Saxophone player was one of the reasons we booked StereoBeats and she was unreal. All of our guests commented on how amazing the band was- lots of them especially loved the Ibiza and 90s medleys. StereoBeats are 10/10 and we hope that we get to see them again in the future!!"

"The musician was really talented however did not play the music requested so killed the entire vibe of the party. It was a party and we requested upbeat music alongside DJ but she used her own speaker and mellowed tunes... everyone obviously left the dance floor at this point and had to remind her of the request. She struggled with our requirements despite us being very specific on booking and even noted specific times on contract booking, did not fulfil contract and waste of £550"

Dear Hayley Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback regarding your recent event. I take all reviews seriously, as they help me improve my services, and I appreciate the opportunity to address some inaccuracies in your comments. The full fee you paid was £459, I understand that you felt the music selection did not align with the upbeat atmosphere you envisioned. However, I want to clarify that I arrived well-prepared with a curated playlist that included the specific tracks you requested, such as "Rebel Music" and "Ibiza Classics." Additionally, during our initial conversation, I offered to incorporate lively pop songs like "Havana," "Rather Be," and "Cheerleader" to enhance the party vibe. I left out your request to play Andrew Lloyd Webber/Starlight Express as I felt it didn’t align with the style of your event. Regarding the DJ sound levels, these were extremely loud throughout. I strive to maintain an enjoyable volume throughout my performances. While you noted that the dance floor, it was empty upon my arrival and throughout the ibiza classics with DJ last 30 minute set. I appreciated the positive feedback from many guests which indicates we’re enjoying my performances. As the event progressed, I was attentive to your requests, including the unexpected addition of a dhol drummer for the second set. I performed the "Morni" provided the Bollywood track to the DJ and performed alongside the DJ and which successfully energised the dance floor. I also addressed the issue with my electric violin volume being turned down by DJ immediately after he received feedback from guest complaining he couldn’t hear it! The booking was to perform 3x 30 minute sets I stayed on the dance floor except two 15 minute breaks and performed throughout the 2 hour duration. I made repeated requests to the DJ to play "Ibiza Classics," in line with your preferences, and I took swift action to address all requests throughout the night. The DJ consistently played track’s that were impossible for a violinist to play over such as Milkshake by Kelis. My goal is always to create memorable experiences for my clients, and I have consistently received positive feedback for over 20 years !

"These guys are the epitome of real, authentic jazz. They really know what they're doing: they look the part, they sound the part and they have been a pleasure to work with. I can't wait to hear what else is in store for them, The Brighton Jazz Duo are bound for great things."

"What a wonderful evening at the Limelight in Aylesbury. The venue was packed out and the audience loved every minute of it. Will definitely go to another gig. Also how lovely to play for charity events. Good on you guys!"

"We had The Cheers play at our wedding in April and it was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. The band were great fun, very talented and got everyone dancing all night. They listened carefully to our song preferences and created a setlist that was perfect for our wedding style. In addition, they played our first song live which made our first dance extra special. They were professional, helpful and friendly, both in the run up to the wedding and on the day itself. The communication was clear throughout and they even arrived slightly earlier so that they weren't setting up during the wedding breakfast. We had been slightly unsure about whether to hire a band as the cost is much higher than a DJ, but we have absolutely no regrets at all, and we would most definitely recommend The Cheers to others."

"Delighted with Fresh Grooves' performances at the weekend. We stretched our budget a little to add the brass section but it really paid off and made for an unforgettable night! They really are a very competent, very entertaining band. Full marks!"

"The Mayfair Mojitos brought wonderful energy to our event. Caroline communicated with me from the moment we booked the band, and promptly answered any questions that we had. They were kind enough to accommodate a slight delay in our schedule and they were happy to help in any way that they could. The music was fantastic and very professional, people thoroughly enjoyed it. We would book them again for another event without hesitation. Thank you Mayfair Mojitos."
