"Dealing with Shakers Gold was an absolute pleasure – at every stage. They responded to any query quickly and efficiently (which certainly set them apart from other bands we investigated). They kept in contact all the way through from booking to the event. Their website demonstrates how seriously Chris and the others take their business. On the night they arrived, set up with no fuss, put on an amazing performance, played the music we wanted to hear in between their sets and made our ‘wedding do’ the ‘party’ we had wished for. Thanks to all of you"

"Thank you, Ben! The band had an excellent sound! Many guests commented on that. Online videos do not do justice to your band. And thank you for doing Sweet Dreams, loved it :) Thank you for the lovely wishes. We'll be following you on the music front! Victor & Harry"

"We would like to give big thanks to Rory and the band for their performance at our wedding reception in Cheshire on May 21st this year. The jazz trio were great and enjoyed by everyone, they helped make our evening special - just what we hoped for! Rory was very professional and helpful and we would have no hesitation in recommending him to anyone. Please pass our thanks on to Rory. Best regards, Liam and Rachel."

"Dave and Rich were an amazing addition to our wedding. They were easy to communicate with from the start and little fuss in setting up. Their set was fantastic, getting the crowd going at all points, and even learning a song to cater to the Bride's side of the family. I would 100% hire them to play at an event again. 10/10 thank you for making our day special. James and Alex."

"Wow - what a voice! Excellent show and great choice of songs. Andy is a real Pro and a fantastic performer - DJ'd the party too. Very versatile and funny guy. Would have no qualms about booking him again. Top notch."

"We were recommended Kirsty via Freddie, the pub manager at the Prince Albert. He gave us a few DJs to look at so we could decide for our wedding - Kirsty's communication is excellent. We corresponded via email and then found a time to talk on the phone. My then fiancée and now wife both warmed to Kirsty instantly over the phone. She is personable, with a really good understanding of music, she understands London culture, as well as the music I grew up with (and music would have enjoyed at university), and has an appreciation for the international music we requested. Her 'do not play' list was a great feature for us too, so we could make sure there were no toe-curling moments in the night or artists who we just didn't want played. She got on very well with our guests and made everyone feel at home - she has obviously spent time honing her craft as well as understanding how people tick. Many thanks, Kirsty- someone we would not hesitate to recommend to friends and anybody who asks"

"Sarah was so helpful and efficient, dealing with any questions or concerns straight away! The booking system was great. I didn’t really have any contact with the band as John couldn’t fit in a chat before but their performance was great and he was lovely on the night. Thank you for your help and performance."

"I went to see ‘Take a Chance on Three’ in Milton Keynes and had a thoroughly enjoyable evening. They sung all the Abba Classics and were very good, the girls have fantastic voices, I would definitely go and see them again – the band interacted very well with the audience and everyone was up on the dance floor dancing and enjoying themselves throughout the whole performance. I would definitely recommend them for a ‘good night out’. I would give them 5 stars out of 5 for entertainment value."

"Had the pleasure of watching, listening and enjoying your set, high energy, audience in the palm of his hands. Is he country enough, you bet he is and a really nice guy too."

"We recently booked "The Man in The Blue Shades" (Marty), Saxophone player for our engagement party. He was absolutely outstanding and really got the party going. He accomodated us with the perfect playlist which was Ibiza house and pop which was exactly the vibe we went for and managed all requests with out any hesitation. Booking was straightforward, and communication was very easy he kept intouch to the run up of the party which was very reassuring . I would highly recommend Marty if you are looking for an experienced saxophone player. Thanks again "
