"An absolute pleasure to get to see this wonderful acoustic covers duo here for the very first time, and their opening support set was full of musical gems and very well received."

"Thank you so much for everything. Carla and I were so grateful for your professionalism and expertise in the lead up to the event. We knew that the audio set up at our venue was going to be a bit tricky and were so grateful that you were able to take that stress off our shoulders and worked with the venue directly to make sure everything went smoothly. We were so relieved to not have to worry about understanding the ins and outs of tech set up, so thank you so much for that! And on the day, the dance floor was a vibe! You covered our very vast collection of genres and special requests with ease (even the Cheeky Girls ha!) Thanks for everything! "

"Absolutely outstanding from start to finish. Bry had also arranged a violinist to accompany him during our ceremony. We had a special (Brazilian) song request for the ceremony which was performed so beautifully and it was no issue for Bry to learn it for us. Thanks a million for that and for all the other song requests too. Nothing seemed a bother and it was a pleasure working with you. The band and DJ were so professional and got the crowd going for the night do. Everyone was buzzing and we got so many compliments about the music. Unreal! 100% recommend. "

"Just wanted to say a huge thanks to the quartet who did an amazing job at our wedding last week. They looked brilliant, they were very accommodating with our entrance song request, and they did a fantastic job. We had so many great comments from our guests saying how brilliant they were. They made our day truly special! I hope they had everything they needed on the day!"

"My husband and I walked into a packed dance floor at the beginning of the night - which is unheard of ! From that point onwards, I never saw the dance floor empty , the atmosphere was amazing - I really can not say how happy I was with these two. If you are able to book them, this duo are amazing ! Thank you x"

"Kirsty was absolutely incredible and we’re so glad we booked her for our wedding! Over the last couple of years we’ve been to a number of weddings, none of which had a dance floor you didn’t want to leave, and as a result we were really wary when booking our DJ. We wanted to dance! We had a long list of things that were very important to us and finding someone that really understood our vision was absolutely essential. We’d met with a few DJ’s, none of which were giving us the right ‘vibe’ and then we found Kirsty. We had a phone call with her, during which we discussed every item on our very long list of requirements and she just GOT IT. She made us feel so at ease and reassured us that she understood exactly what we were looking for. My Wife and I both have incredibly varied music tastes which were catered for perfectly by Kirsty! Kirsty is SO organised. She sent us a document detailing everything she needed from us to do her job excellently. One of the items we were very concerned about was our ‘Do Not Play’ list, Kirsty was SO respectful of it from our very first conversation, and we just knew we had nothing to fear. We each made her a playlist, showcasing our individual music tastes, and she was able to blend them together perfectly on the night in a way that not only perfectly suited us, but enticed our guests, of all ages, onto the dance floor. We got married on the longest and hottest day of the year, 34°C and it wasn’t dark until gone 10:30pm but that didn’t matter, her playlist on the night (which she sent a copy of to us post wedding, which we loved) was so perfectly curated, people were dancing from the second she set up until we had to turn the music off. Every song on our ‘Must Play List’ was ticked off at the perfect time throughout the night, she was true to her promise and didn’t allow anybody to make requests (one of our big no-no’s as we’d had Uncles threaten some very questionable song requests leading up to the wedding). My personal favourite part of Kirsty’s set was probably the last half hour, she read the dance floor perfectly banger after banger after banger, and perfectly timed our final song with the music cut off time which made our venue very happy. She also played us out with a little personalised song that everybody loved! We had so many compliments on the music from our guests!! All of her equipment was excellent and set the vibe perfectly, she clearly knows her equipment very well because it took her no time to set up or pack away at the end of the night. Fantastic lights which didn’t do that really annoying thing of nearly blinding you as they spin around the room, a personal pet peeve of mine. Her speakers were excellent and perfectly balanced, not too bass-y and set to the perfect volume to sing your lungs out but not go to bed with a ringing in your ears! She came and said hi as she arrived to check in with us, then said goodbye and had a bit of a chat with us as she packed away at the end of the night, but other than that, she didn’t speak to us whilst playing her set enabling us to fully enjoy ourselves and stay in the moment. Thank you for that! Kirsty is super on top of all of her paperwork, up to date with insurance and PAT tests, which will be required by any venue, so to have that presented to us without needing to ask helped to relieve some of the organisational stress surrounding the wedding. Every time we thought it was probably time to check in with her leading up to the wedding, she’d beat us to it, again, giving us one less thing to remember to do. Honestly, we can’t thank you enough for being so on top of everything and giving us no doubts that we could rely on you ♥ Our only regret is that we didn’t book Kirsty for her acoustic set during the day as she has an incredible voice we wish we’d gotten to hear more of! Thank you so much for all of your help throughout the process, for putting up with our requests and concerns and for making the evening of our wedding an absolutely cracking party!! We’ll be back in touch for our next event!!!"

"What a fantastic party night with Jon Halden & JDS. Excellent setlist without exception spanning genres from at least 45 years & including many of my all time favourites. They got everyone up dancing & singing from age 20 to 60+ 😂. At one point I may have regressed back to 1980 doing The Stomp to Baggy Trousers, which seemed like a great idea until the next day when I realised that I was only 12 when that was a big school disco favourite. 😂 Brilliant evening. Thank you so much"

"Leo was amazing! The contact with him was great in the lead up and on the day he was fantastic. He’s an extremely talented guitarist and really great at feeling the crowd and knowing what they want. All of our guests absolutely loved him and we’ve had so many comments about him since. Thanks!!!"

"I booked Moon River for a medical conference dinner to play during the drinks reception and a formal three-course dinner. They were extremely professional to deal with at every level, as well as being flexible and reliable. The sets they played were varied, some songs being very modern adaptations and others traditional, and were delivered to a very high musical standard. I received many compliments about the occasion and would definitely recommend Moon River to others."
