"We've been following the band as we loved their style as a potential wedding band, when we saw them at the Tavistock Wharf - it was amazing! Such a fun show, great ambiance, and lots of talent! We're so excited to see them play at our wedding now! "

"I would definitely recommend working with Rory. They were a great addition to the event atmosphere and really elevated the quality of the event. Most importantly, they were a breeze to co-ordinate with and made the whole hiring process incredibly smooth, distinguishing themselves for their friendly and accommodating professionalism."

Hi Claudia, Thank you for your feedback of Rory on 09/09/2021 I am delighted that you were happy with the music, and I will pass on your kind feedback to the musicians. Stephanie has been in touch this morning regarding the missing extension and I have made swift enquiry with the musicians. I will keep you updated on how we get on and, if necessary, order a replacement for you. I am sorry to hear that it has gone amiss as we really appreciated the venue providing it for us. Meanwhile, I would like to once again thank you for the booking last Thursday, and I send you our warmest wishes. Thanks, Rory

"We wanted to thank the band for their amazing performance at my party last month. They arrived early so there was plenty of time to set up and give us the chance to say hi before we got ready at home. We wanted the sound level set so people could still chat in the corners and your sound engineer was very helpful in respecting our wishes. The music was outstanding! Loads of people were giving compliments on the night and we've had lots of phone calls too, saying how much everyone loved the sound and authenticity of the band. We spend the whole evening dancing and the party was still going strong right up until the end. We were delighted with the playlist and found your communication beforehand very helpful in selecting the music. The ipod sets too were great - all my favourite songs one after the other. And the lighting made the room look lovely. All in all, the band made the evening a true success, thanks!"

"As we’d opted for an October wedding, we knew we needed to ramp up the atmosphere being out of season. So… we were unbelievably chuffed that we booked Primed for the reception. They seemed to be loving it, taking requests off the cuff and and allowing guest to get up and sing. Amazing. Highly recommended. "

"The music transforms the atmosphere, carrying us through the eras: from 1920's speakeasy to Vintage Brazilian cafe!"

"Claudio is an outstanding accordionist and a wonderfully warm person. He was punctual and immediately fitted into our family. His set list was inspired by our atmosphere and his choice included the range that I had selected from our pre-event discussion. We were all absolutely thrilled and felt he helped make our 2021 family party simply perfect!"

"Well what can we say! They were absolutely fantastic, arrived on time with equipment set up ready for the evening. They sang lots of different songs from old to new keeping the ears of our guests entertained ready for more. was absolutely amazing such a talented band would love to have thwmat another event. The only down side was that the evening seemed to go to fast but as the saying goes time flys when your having fun. Would so love to see them again in the future absolutely fantastic performance what an amazing band."

"J.A.R created the perfect vibe for my son's 21st. Music for all ages. Sunshine On Leith was superb and the Dua Lipa numbers went down a storm. They even let James get up and sing 😀 A great sound for any occasion."

"We booked these guys through the Son of my now wife for the evening of our wedding. Our only mistake was not booking them for longer on the evening. We should have had them all night. We had Unwritten Duo band. The vocals were awesome and capped a fantastic evening. A mixture of great soulful classics and some slightly more obscure tracks. I’d definitely travel to see these guys and the more intimate the venue the better. They could play big venues but are better in a small place where sing to you not at you. Fantastic set guys and thank you. Xx"

"If you're looking for a band that keeps your guests entertained and on the dance floor, I highly recommend Grupo Carnival. They played a mix of funk, soul and Latin-inspired tunes that had everyone dancing all night. Their incorporation of Brazilian music was a nice touch which added an extra layer of fun and was original. The band know how to create a fun and vibey atmosphere and they were a pleasure to work with. Overall, I would definitely recommend Grupo Carnival for anyone in search of a wedding band that can deliver great music and a fun night. They made our special day a memorable one. "

"I just wanted to pass on a massive thank you to you and the rest of the band for a truly awesome performance at our wedding in December. The evening was everything we hoped it would be and that is largely down to the fabulous atmosphere created by yourselves which got most people (nearly 100 at one point!!) up, dancing and thoroughly enjoying themselves. All of our guests have commented on what a great night it was and how good the band were and Rob and I certainly had a fantastic evening.Also thanks to the DJ/sound man for putting up with lots of drunken requests from the bridesmaids, much appreciated!We wouldn't hesitate to recommend you to anyone having a wedding or other form of party as a great fun party band. Finally, can I just comment the fee charged was incredibly good value for such quality entertainment!Thanks again - Helen Gregory (Wedding Tortworth Court)"
