"I highly recommend Soul Messengers. Absolute 10/10. They performed at our wedding and our guests LOVED them as much as we did. They are both so talented and full of positive energy and good vibes. Soul Messengers reply to messages very quickly and are very flexible to play at the times you wish for them to. They are so friendly and helpful with any questions. Their song list is incredible and they also give you the option to request beforehand any separate songs too. Soul Messengers played for us both during our meal and for a couple of hours after too and it was just perfect. They got all of our guests involved, with everyone singing and dancing with them and they played both inside and outside of our venue. We are so glad that we found Soul Messengers to perform. If you’re looking for a band/ roaming band, look no further! Thank you to Soul Messengers, you are great, what a special day!"

"Three Quarters of a Quartet made our wedding day unforgettable! From start to finish, they kept the dance floor packed with guests of all ages. Their talent, energy, and versatility in performing both classic and modern songs had everyone singing along and having the time of their lives. Their musical expertise added the perfect touch of elegance and fun to our special day. Thank you, Three Quarters of a Quartet, for being such a memorable part of our wedding celebration."

"We booked the Haystacks for 2 1hr band sets and a DJ set. They were absolutely amazing, all the guests were up dancing and singing along. Rachel was great at keeping in touch leading up to the Wedding and they learnt an Australian song for our first dance and the version was perfect. We would highly recommend. "

"We couldn’t recommend this duo enough! They learnt our first dance song, and it felt like it was written just for us. They kept the energy going all evening, and so many of our guests have been asking about them! Professional, friendly, and so talented."

"I have listened to Jonathan Vinten with real pleasure over a number of years, playing solo, with his trio and recently with the full six piece band. Whatever the venue, ranging from the humble surroundings of the Tunbridge Wells Jazz Club to Leeds Castle, the Savoy Hotel London or the Grand at Brighton, his sheer quality as a musician stands out, as does the range of his repertoire. You need no telling that he has played with the very best in the business, yet, unlike some jazz musicians who seem to play for their own pleasure, Jonathan always sets out to entertain his audience. The standard of the trio is impressive. I have heard the “big” band only once so far but it was a joy, with a fine balance and extended solos you just had to listen to. I don’t get to hear him and the band often enough and, with my partner and friends, make a New Year resolution to put that right. "

"Moon River were amazing for my baby’s birthday yesterday and it was something so different. They played jazz, theatre and pop music of my choosing from their repertoire and then lots of nursery rhymes. All ages were catered for; their communication was great and they turned up early to set up. Highly recommend."

"Caroline and Luke played at our wedding on Feb 24th in Bury St Edmunds and I cannot recommend Element String enough. They were absolutely fantastic and I feel lucky to have had them playing at our wedding. So many guests commented on the quality and variety of the music they played and how it created a great atmosphere for the event. From the outset we received quick responses from Caroline and a friendly and flexible approach. She was happy to adjust length of time and number of musicians to fit our budget. We had the duo to play as guests were arriving and having welcome drinks , then through the ceremony itself and for most of the drinks reception that followed. We had thought we would be indoors on the day given it was Feb but due to uncharacteristically hot weather , the drinks were taken outside onto the terrace. Caroline and Luke being very flexible moved outside with us which was amazing. The group have a good repertoire to select from so you can have classical for the more formal moments in your day and something more jazzy afterwards to give a party feel. The duo created the perfect level of sound for the size of our ceremony room and number of guests (around 85). If we had a greater budget we would have taken the trio or even quartet without thinking as their previous reviews were so positive. I’m sad that I didn’t get to meet Caroline and Luke properly to say a big thank you. On the wedding day itself everything just seems to happen around you without you having any chance to veer off schedule. I bumped into Caroline by chance as I was being shown into the dining room and she was lovely , very warm and friendly. She and Luke arrived nice and early to set up and what is great is they are fully acoustic. Everything you hear is fully their talent and no electrics/amplifiers and wires required so it is easy to set up in almost any part of the room you require. They created such atmosphere for our ceremony - I could not have been more delighted with them. If you are looking for musicians for your wedding or other event that are extremely talented in their range of music, flexible , easy to deal with , fairly priced and transparent - then look no further than Element Strings.

"I honestly couldn’t recommend these guys more. They went above and beyond to play 3 sets at our wedding and sounded amazing. The range of songs they cover is huge and Amy has the most beautiful voice that can make any song sound unreal. We had so many comments and compliments from guests of all ages on the wedding day saying how good the band were. After seeing their stuff on Instagram during lockdown I knew they would be brilliant, but they absolutely exceeded our expectations! "

"WOW! We want to thank you so much for playing at our wedding. We loved the songs and so did the guests who were on the dance floor all throughout your set. We wanted to say a huge thank you for learning to play our first dance song, which wasn’t originally in your set list - it made our night. Thank you so much for making an amazing day even more so. Xxx"
