"We hired The Blue Suede Shoes for our wedding reception in May. We had already married abroad but wanted to have a larger gathering back in the UK where we could invite everyone. On the day we had about 150 people, from new-born's to a couple of ladies who were 90+. So the entertainment was quite important to get right. We didn't know what we were looking for at first, we knew we wanted live music, but we had to cater for all tastes and ages. The Blue Suede Shoes were the first band that both my (new) wife and I agreed on instantly. Thankfully they were available, even though they are Surrey based they were willing to travel deep into Kent. They have a generous play list to choose from, and even have a 'handbook' on their website with a few hints and tips about booking live music (not just restricted to weddings etc...). Importantly, they were willing to learn a couple of other tracks for us - one was our first dance and another was a Robbie Williams track which is one of my wife's favourites. From the start of the booking process Ben was very informative, clear and helpful at every stage. He was easily contacted and able to offer advice where needed. On the day of the reception the band turned up early and started to set-up without any fuss. We had a family friend DJ-ing in the same area in the evening and by the time I'd come over to greet them they'd already sorted everything out themselves. Our reception was in a marquee outside and the weather alternated between strong sunshine and torrential rain. Even though the band had a set-list, they seemed to be able to play appropriate songs for the moment. Playing 'Ain't no sunshine when she's gone' in the middle of torrential rain made everyone laugh and kept peoples spirits up. The band were also happy to ad-lib a bit for the bridal entrance which was very much appreciated. They were great musicians, willing to interact with the guests and very friendly indeed. We would recommend them without question, not just for a wedding but for any party or gathering that needed live music. They were loud enough to be heard, but not so loud that you had to shout over them. The music was perfect to sit and listen to, but energetic enough for many people to get up and dance or it and tap their feet to. Thanks for helping to make or reception so memorable. Matt & Kim"

"It was our pleasure to have Ben and the band play for us at our Captains Dinner Dance at Basingstoke Golf Club last Saturday Night. We had a quartet playing (Double Bass, Saxophone, Drums and Guitar and lead vocals) and they were excellent, the mood was perfect and the dance floor full all night. We had discussed the playlist beforehand, we were given some sound pointers but the band also added some of our favourite numbers to their sets, and they nailed them! Also and importantly the band were professional, dependable and great communicators in the run up to our event - fully recommend them. "

"House of Chords were simply brilliant; from first contact all the way through to, most importantly, their performance. Thank you so much!! Countless numbers of our wedding guests have said it was the best music they have heard at a wedding, both the actual sets and the DJ music between! We loved every minute of the sets, every song was performed brilliantly and the full dance floor was testament to that. All helped by Mike and the band being great guys, super friendly and consummate professionals - a great talent and very organised / helpful to boot. We would definitely book again next time we need a band! Thanks again House of Chords!"

"We were so pleased that we decided to book your band to play at our wedding. We were really impressed with the level of professionalism that you showed throughout the whole process, from booking to the big day itself. Your set was awesome and really made the night extra special. The dance floor was always packed, something rarely seen at weddings where people tend to hide in the bar! Many of our guests commented on how much they enjoyed your performance and we would agree with them wholeheartedly. Thank you so much!"
