Review Centre: Latin / Salsa / Mariachi Bands

"The VIP Formula are brilliant! We hired them for a birthday party at our house, communication was excellent from the moment of booking. A most professional outfit who made our event a spectacular success. Arriving in good time, they set up without disruption to the proceedings. They are all talented musicians who played a wonderful mix of latin music and popular tunes cleverly adapted into a Cuban style which got everybody dancing. A highly polished yet personalised performance that impressed everyone and we would definitely recommend them."

Dear Duncan, All memories I have from your wife's Birthday Party are fantastic. She played a great African Percussion solo! Hahahaha... That was really fun. Thank you very much again for having us. Best regards, Michael. VIP Formula

"Thanks for your e-mail and I just wanted to reply on behalf of the whole team to say thank you for your help in making the arrangements for Rory and the band to be with us for our event. Our feedback is hugely positive - Rory arrived in plenty of time and liaised with us about the best place to get set up. The music was fabulous and exactly what we were hoping for in terms of providing a relaxed atmosphere for guests. We received lots of positive feedback about the whole reception on the lawn, including the music, so thanks to Rory and the band for their contribution to our event's success. We would highly recommend them."

"If you do anything today, book Sounds of Brazil!!! We had them play at our wedding and they were out of this world. They got everyone dancing and are so so talented, we still have people who were at the wedding complimenting how amazing they are. We feel blessed to have come across them on last minute musicians. Just perfect. "

"Tijuca Taxi was so easy to work with - a great professional. He even helped us out with last minute requests such as lending us extra microphones for speeches and bringing a music stand for our celebrant. As soon as he started playing the room came alive - from saxophone to piano he added a special, sophisticated, musical magic to the evening. You can't beat live music and Tijuca Taxi is a very talented musician. Thanks again Rory! It was a pleasure to have you perform."

"Today I had the opportunity of listening to Mariachi Las Valentinas at a Mexican event in London; it was such a complete pleasure to witness such wonderful talent! Their traditional clothing and whole image is absolutely beautiful. I would like to thank each one of the group members for bringing our Mexican culture to the UK and to such a great standard, you make us Mexicans very proud!"

"Summer Samba exceeded all of our expectations! They entertained our 70 guests with enthusiasm, talent and even dressed the part! (1920's theme). They were a delight to co-ordinate with, and engaging with our guests throughout. They performed four 45 minute sets, with short breaks between. Swing, Jazz, Samba and Salsa throughout. I couldn't recommend them more! An absolute bargain if considering entertainment for a private bash or a work do! "

"Salsa Kings loosened up to play in a totally brazen manner, horns slicing without mercy, piano jabbing hard chords, percussionists putting steam on the walls."

"De Fuego performed at our wedding in July 2018. They greeted our guests as they arrived to the reception and played for around an hour and a half. All our guests really enjoyed the performance and the music really made the occasion start off in style. Both members were really helpful and always available to contact in the build up to our big day. My bride and I had a really nice chat with Tony and Edina after their performance and plan on seeing them again. I cant reccomend them highly enough! Thanks again guys! "

"Hi Rory, I can't thank you enough for your performance on Saturday night. We absolutely loved it and lots of friends have been asking me who you were because they loved it too! You created just the right atmosphere at the start, it really got the party going and then the RnB towards the end was just fabulous - I love live music and you made the party for me! It was everything I had hoped for and more. You really tailored the music to what we had requested. You and Lilli were totally professional liaising with me beforehand, arriving when you said you would and trying to accommodate all our wishes. I just wish you could have stayed for longer! Thank you both - I will have to think of an excuse to book you again! Amanda"

"Jenny played at our wedding ceremony, we can’t thank her enough. Her beautiful guitar playing made our service really special and our guests still talk about how talented she was. We loved the mix of classical music with her own arrangements of modern love songs. She was so lovely to work with, highly recommended. "

"When I feel I want to dream I play Santana's Salvador and Black Magic Woman, when I feel I want to dance and be happy then I play Dynamite Swing’s album. It continues to bring me pleasure."
