Review Centre: Background Music Bands

"The event was held in a magnificent marquee and food prepared by a Michelin star chef so guests expectations were high. Gary from Eleventh Hour contacted me prior to the event and made sure that all requirements were met. Gary and the band arrived punctually and were set up and sound checked in plenty of time putting my mind at ease. During the dinner Freyja was on hand to supply suitable background music and a microphone for speeches. The band was fantastic, they engaged with the guests and the choice of songs was perfect keeping the dance floor packed until we finished at 1am. They supplied great music in between their sets ensuring that the party atmosphere. Following the event I received lots of feedback from guests praising the band saying how they really made the night. I have seen 11th Hour at other events and I would highly recommend them for any type of event."

All your time, hard work and effort was all very much appreciated and I would highly recommend you to others. Thank you very much you helped make our day just fantastic. "

"My wife and I are so pleased we booked the The River Jazz Quartet for our golden wedding anniversary party. They were friendly and easy to deal with in preparing for the event, and on the day itself they performed brilliantly. Many of our guests have since told us how very impressed they were. "

"Beci was the glue that held everything together when the heavens opened! We absolutely loved her playing and we had so many people come up to us to say the same. She has a great ability to play a range of genres and decades doing interesting covers and interpretations whilst keeping her sound, creating a really cohesive set. She was lovely as a person and professional. We would love to book her again. "

"Viewpoint recently played at our wedding reception and they were absolutely incredible! We already knew they were all extremely talented musicians, but they blew us away on the day. We were so impressed with how they engaged with our wedding party, how well they had rehearsed and performed their set, and also, how much fun our guests had with their performances throughout the evening. Every practical and musical detail was thought of, and the band (especially Sam), created such a light-hearted, welcoming space for our guests to celebrate with us. They were well equipped and rehearsed - we didn’t have any issues on the day whatsoever. The band provided their own lights, all programmed in a specific design for each songs which added so much to the overall atmosphere. We were able to liaise with the band beforehand to adapt the set with a few of our own preferences. They even learned the song we wanted for our first dance so that we didn’t just have to play it from our own mp3 device. We could not recommend them more highly!"

"I hired these lads for my 50th earlier in the year. From start to finish their attitude was excellent. They are both really helpful and share their knowledge. They blew us away with their set and got the crowd going from the get go. Bring on my 60th! "

"We really enjoyed having H&R at our event. They were really patient and flexible with the last minute changes we had to make because of the weather. Everyone loved the music they were playing and several people have requested their contact details. I will definitely be recommending them! "

"A wonderful night, some important guests, an impressive location, but it was John’s music to deliver the true magic touch. John and his band played for us a great collection of Jazz music giving an extra flavour to an already special evening. A perfect harmony of notes, a well balanced band and a very elegant style. I would strongly recommend John and his team and I will be looking forward to working with him in the near future. "
