Review Centre: Festival Bands

"Words cannot describe how thrilling it was to walk into the reception, hear music, turn round and see you play. You created a truly magical atmosphere. When the band came on later, everyone got up to dance. And it was not a straightforward gig. The band went that extra mile - not only in the planning and preparation stages, scheduling an order of ceremonies that would cater for our precise needs and requirements - but also on the day itself. When my DJ vocalist fell through at the last minute, the band were only too happy to step in, playing my MP3 cues through their sound system and even learning our first dance wedding request on the spur of the moment! The band were also kind enough to play extra time, and I was really pleased with their adaptability and flexibility in response to the fluctuating nature of the event. They ensured that my wedding was a real party. The band itself was a joy to behold and everyone was delighted with your music. I sincerely hope that we can work with you again in future. Thank you!"

No problem! Thanks for approving. I hope that we can keep in touch and do give me a shout if there is anything that you fancy seeing at Band on the Wall - would be great to meet up for a drink / bite to eat. All best :) Rory

"Sean performed at our wedding and was fabulous - we loved it and loads of our guests commented on how impressed they were too. Special thanks to you Sean for humouring Uncle Fletch with that Rick Astley number - I'm sure he won't forget it in a hurry, haha!"

"Hi Jamie, Just a quick note to say again how much we all enjoyed the band, you were all fantastic and I hope the crowd on the dance floor confirmed this! I would like to provisionally reserve again for next year if ok with you even though it seems crazy looking so far ahead! "

"Just what we wanted. We loved our first dance and every song after! I was a sweaty mess by the end because of all the dancing. We got lots of compliments from guests about the band and at least one couple are planning on booking for an upcoming 40th birthday party. They were great guys and hope they enjoyed playing half as much as we enjoyed listening!"

"What. A. Band. Amidst our hours of research for a wedding band, we came across the Band Boutique's website and in turn found Rafiki. I knew when I heard the Britney Spears cover that you were going to be our wedding band! Not only are Rafiki the slickest band I've heard at a wedding, but you made our wedding so much fun and personal. Mike and I thank you so much - you gave us the most incredibly fun and energetic evening to our wedding, our guests cannot stop talking about the music! The choices of songs were just perfect and your rendition of our first dance just made it for us. Thank you for making our night! And thank you to band manager, Ollie, for a seamless experience behind the scenes - you were ace!"

You were beyond fantastic, played longer than they were supposed to, shared the stage and their gear with a band they had never met. Utterly fab music. We have had so many letter commenting one of the best bands they have seen! We had a fab party, please pass on our thanks to all band members you made it hugely memorable and massive fun."

"We were so lucky to have ‘Kitty Galactic’ play at our wedding in the summer - they were communicative throughout (we booked them about a year in advance!), set up with no hassle at all and with no disruption at all to our day.  THEN the performance!! wow! Kat's voice is incredible and the band are so so tight that you could be fooled into thinking you're listening to a recording ...  THANK YOU so much for making our wedding so much fun and keeping everyone dancing until the very last moment. All of our guests loved it and our wedding wouldn't have been the same without Kitty Galactic. "

"Just a quick message to say the band were absolutely AMAZING!! Everyone has been raving about them, the dance floor was packed for literally every song right up until the end. I must also say they were wonderful setting up. No one noticed they were even there during dinner. Thank you so much for everything. "

"We were very pleased that we hired Rory. We were particularly impressed with communication before the day and it was great to speak to him. He was very friendly, approachable and accommodating. On the day, his performance was soulful and classy and he very closely followed our song preferences. We would thoroughly recommend Rory."

Dear Alex & Emma, I hope you enjoyed your weekend. Thank you for the testimonial, which is perfect and much appreciated. I have passed on your kind comments to Rory. No problem re: meeting Rory on the day. I understand it is tricky to do everything on your wedding day. I’m delighted to hear that the engagement went successfully. I will pass on your kind feedback to our agent. I would like to take this opportunity to thank you once again for working with us, and I look forward to hearing from you again in the future. Thanks_Jo

"We're so glad to welcome back to IPO Liverpool, Starshine, who has played as the front woman of the Cheshire-based band, and also solo. Either way, her songs are very infectious, and she plays them with a very, well...infectious exuberance!"
