Review Centre: Bands & Ensembles

"Booked Naomi to perform over zoom for my wife's 26th birthday. With it being lockdown in Scotland and not having many options, I thought it would be a lovely surprise for her to have a talented musician play a few of her favourite songs. I gave Naomi a list of a few special songs that she could play for us and without complaint or hesitation she was more than happy to play them for us. From the moment I made contact to the day of the performance everything was just perfection. My wife loved it as did I, she is still buzzing that Naomi played all her favourite songs on violin. Cannot recommend Naomi highly enough. She played beautifully. Couldn't have asked for anything more. Utterly splendid. Perfection. "

"We were so impressed with your band at our wedding on 13th June. You created the perfect atmosphere for us all and sounded awesome! We have had so many compliments on the band, your talent and your professionalism from our guests. If the opportunity arises we will definitely seriously consider booking Disco Infernos again "

"“We just wanted to drop you an email to say a massive thank you for giving us all an awesome night at our wedding on Friday 24 July in Twickenham. You were absolutely fantastic and really made the night. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend you or have you again at another function – the music was great, everyone was dancing all night and you were really understanding when we were running late after a delay earlier in the day. Thanks so much for making our wedding really fun and memorable, everyone commented to us how much they enjoyed us having live music from you. We are still buzzing from it!” Best wishes Danny and Aimee Langley – Wedding – The Turks Head – Twickenham"

"These guys were FANTASTIC! We had a picnic section to our wedding and they set the scene beautifully with incredible dixieland jazz. Boaters and ham sandwiches all round! Such lovely chaps that clearly love what they do. Thank you for just being you. Big love, April and Gav Dickson "

"Dear Ben, Thank you so much for all of your help in organising for The Blue Suede Shoes to come and play at our wedding. You were so professional and made the whole process really easy and stress free – thanks so much for all of your hard work. Thank you especially to the guys themselves for doing such a great job for us on the day, particularly with the last minute worries about the power being off (luckily it was all ok in the end!) We had so many compliments on how great they were and the song choices were perfect. Everyone had such a fun time dancing and they really made the evening extra special. Thank you also for being so helpful to Grace and for allowing her to sing for the first dance. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend you to other people and wish you all the best for the future. With many thanks, Lewis and Kylie"

"We didn’t realize two cellos could be so versatile. The sound you made was rich and moving. We were thrilled to have found you at the last minute; you are just that little bit more interesting than an ordinary string quartet!"

"My wife and I hired The Smooth Criminals for our wedding party last month and we simply could not have been happier that we found them! Absolutely everyone at the party commented on how great they thought the band was. Their communication right up to the day was excellent and they were very graciously accommodating of our set requests. Please be assured that you need not look any further for a band for your event - you won't find any better. Thank you so much again to The Smooth Criminals, whenever we have an anniversary party we'll book you again in a heartbeat!"

"Just a wee note to thank you for playing for us at our recent wedding, especially for arranging the music for our first dance, it meant so much to us and was the perfect way to start the evening. Everyone had such a great time and it was lovely to see the dance floor full from the first dance through to the end of the night. There is nothing like a ceilidh at a wedding to get friends, work colleagues and both sides of the new family up and mixing together for the whole evening. "
