"Pop Goes The Samba went down very well at the event. They have a wide range of songs but all with a different twist & a superb sound quality."

"Just wanted to thank you, the rest of the band and the caller very much for making my birthday so special last Friday. Everyone commented how good you all were and the patience needed to make some rather inebriated people understand the instructions to the dances! It was a great night of which you all played a significant part so please thank everyone on my behalf. Thanks again "

"Just wanted to thank you and the Tri Tones for playing at my daughter's wedding. Your music accompanying her day reception of fizz and cake was perfect! Many of our guests commented how much they enjoyed listening to the band as we relaxed and chatted in the sunshine. Thank you for speaking with me beforehand. You listened to what we wanted and delivered it with skill and aplomb! I hoped we were in safe hands but it was great that you were thoroughly professional in your approach, arriving early and playing in 30-degree heat without complaint! We would have no hesitation in recommending the Tri Tones to anyone!"

"How fortunate we were to have Caroline and the delightful ladies from Ariana String Quartet play at our wedding, each one of them possessing impressive musical prowess and with distinguished classical careers in highly reputed orchestras. The planning and coordination of pieces beforehand and on the day was seamless. So during the actual wedding, each previously chosen song was played as an accompaniment to significant moments: such as the entrance of the bride, the signing of the register, the bride and groom walking into the wedding breakfast room. Everything was timed perfectly. Ariana had also learnt a few of the pieces especially for our wedding. In fact their renditions of the contemporary music we had asked for were not only flawless, but fantastic musical pieces in their own right, as diverse as Arctic Monkeys ‘Mardy Bum’, ‘Concerning Hobbits’ from the Lord of the Rings and Bowie’s ‘Life on Mars’. Furthermore, they were easy to recognise and yet the original was transformed into a beautiful string version. Indeed everything they performed for us was unquestionably beautiful, dare-I-say-it, even better than the string renditions on Bridgerton! Classical musical connoisseurs present were mesmerised and intoxicated by every note. As I looked around the room, I witnessed every generation at the wedding enjoying Ariana’s performance. I heard so many positive comments from guests about them too. They delivered a simply captivating soundtrack to a joyous day for us. We cannot recommend them highly enough."

"The Confidential were fantastic at our wedding. We requested a first dance that wasn't on their play list, and they were more than happy to accommodate. Their version of 'you are the sunshine of my life' was brilliant. The sets they played were relevant to the people on the dance floor, and they kept everyone moving. They were happy to be flexible on the night when we had to make some last minute changes to when food was available, and when the cake was cut, and they liaised directly with the venue where necessary. I couldn't recommend them more highly."

"The Triple A’s were just AMAZING! I couldn't recommend them enough; Anna was in touch from booking to see what we were looking for, and I just love live music and wanted our guests (mixture of ages) to have a great time and join me on the dancefloor and it was never empty! They did a mixture of Jazz style and then some soul and pop songs at my request, and they had everyone dancing. Wonderful musicians and Anna has a lovely voice. We had so many compliments about the music and they just made the evening spot on, even better than I could have hoped for :)"

"Maya Soul & Jazz are an excellent band, their performance went down a hit with everyone and they had a special guest vocalist which the crowd loved. All professionally organised. They are both a pleasure to listen to and work with."
