"We had Carlo play at our wedding and he was absolutely incredible! From start to finish he brought the perfect energy to the day. His saxophone sets were stylish, soulful, and got everyone in the mood, and then his DJ set kept the dance floor packed all night. Carlo judged the crowd perfectly and created such an amazing atmosphere, our guests are still talking about it! Professional, friendly, and hugely talented, we couldn’t have asked for more. If you’re looking for something unforgettable for your wedding, we can’t recommend Carlo highly enough!"

"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"

"We hired Carlito for our wedding in June. He was absolutely fantastic; very easy to work with and communicative. Most importantly of all, his performance was excellent. We had a lovely summers day celebrating with our friends and family, and Carlito very much added to the occasion. He had the tunes going to welcome everyone to the drinks reception, he played us in as we walked to the table, and then got the dance hits out in the evening to get everyone on the dance floor. We would highly recommend him to make anyone’s event unforgettable!"

"I second Nikki's feedback. The guests absolutely loved Rory's music and were very complimentary to him. I would be very happy to recommend him for future bookings. Rory - Thanks so much for playing at our wedding. The entrance song (for both the aisle and the entrance to the dinner) was done so well, and I'm so happy that we had you there. Thanks for making this day even more special for us."

"The best Spanish performance I ever heard. So much soul and dedication these duo are giving to the audience and it is an amazing pleasure to listen their performance. Truly incredible talent and it made our venue very impressed with the style of their music! I will definitely recommend them for anyone's taste in Spanish and Cuban music! 10/10 "

"Rory did very well and we were delighted with his performance. He played some great Disney song covers on his sax that were huge crowd pleasures and unexpected. He also added some lively backing music and ramped up towards the end of his set which we had asked for and he delivered. He was very pleasant and respectful, blended in to the background but was always nearby and could be heard, he moved around to suit the movements of the guests around the garden which was great. He definitely lifted the atmosphere and got people in more of a relaxed celebration mode! Please send our thanks for Rory, he did an excellent job for us. Thank you also for sorting everything out and organising the transport etc. - much appreciated, great service and will recommend. Best wishes, John."

"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. "
