"Myself and my new husband Rory would like to say a HUGE "THANK YOU" to Motown Matt from Last Minite Musicians. We hired Matt to sing at our wedding on 6th Oct 2018. He was FANTASTIC! Ourselves and our guests LOVED the music Matt sang at our wedding - what a talented man. He looked very smart in his suit and was extremely professional from the moment we booked him. Communication with Last Minute Musicians and Matt himself was fantastic from start to finish. We cannot thank you enough Matt. We would be happy to recommend you to anyone. The newly weds, Stacey & Rory Cook. "

"We booked these guys for our wedding at Tunnels Beaches in Ilfracombe in October 2021. Booking them was so easy and they were great to work with and always accommodating, even after our first wedding date had to be postponed because of Covid. Their repertoire is extensive and yet despite this they were prepared to learn some new songs for our wedding if needed. They arrived on time and set up without any fuss or drama - all thoroughly professional......then they started playing!!! Wow! Now I play in a semi-pro band and like to think we are pretty decent, but these guys were just on a different level. Great song choices, fantastic musicianship, great energy and rapport with the crowd - they were amazing. That view is shared by all the guests who attended. Great value for money and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone. Steve & Julia, Wedding at Tunnels Beaches in Devon – 16th October 2021 "

"We really enjoyed the band, Christian did a fantastic playlist from our own selection during intervals and kept The crowd going. Highly recommended, no fuss just got on with it!"

"Ian, thank you so much for last night. You and your band were absolutely fabulous, I didn’t doubt you would be, but you blew me and everyone else away. You made the day really special; I think everyone would have kept dancing if you could have kept playing. Thank you for finishing on our first dance too - that was a special touch."

"Let's Dance are hands down on of the best bands out there, they absolutely made the night at our wedding. I was having a bit of a wedding band crisis when I saw them play at The Royal in Sutton Coldfield when I was on a hen do. I hadn't had too many proseccos when I saw them play, so I knew they were the real deal! Their repertoire is incredible and so eclectic, with everything from James Brown to Blink 182, they played banger after banger and the dancefloor was packed all night. It was the most incredible atmosphere, they even gave us an extra song at the end of their encore as the party didn't show any signs of stopping. They didn't judge my questionable DJ set choices and are total pros at putting together sets that keep everyone dancing! As an organisation freak, they were amazing on the admin side of things, always quick to reply to emails and helped me to feel a little bit less stressed. If you not sure which band to choose for your big day, I would recommend Let's Dance 100%! I'm currently trying to think of other events I can book them for!"

"Soul Messengers were fantastic. Filippo's communication leading up to the event was great; we felt well informed and like he really listened to us and what we wanted. On the day, Filippo arrived nice and early to get things set up, and their set was absolutely fantastic. The song choices were really well matched to the mood of the evening, and they played our first dance song for us. We had so many people coming up to us and telling us how brilliant and talented they both were. We and our guests really enjoyed the performance. Thank you again for a wonderful day!"

"Kay has a beautiful voice, she sang at my party and I've been to see her since doing other events. I was really pleased with her professionalism, she really made it easy to book and even sang some songs that I had requested. I'm really pleased that I booked them, she'd be first on the list to recommend to family and friends and I will be booking her for next years party! Everyone loved her and are still talking about her now!"

"Not too sure I can put in to words my thanks to you all for being the best and making our wedding just perfect. The ceremony - Amazing and very emotional. People said to me after they were having to look round to see it was a real human it was so perfect. The drinks ceremony - absolutely phenomenal, the music could have been coming straight from the original artists it was so perfect. Norah Jones was just amazing. The lovely, beautiful girl with blonde hair who I think wants to be my best friend, but I have no idea what her name is so that’s a bad start - what a fab personality she has, so professional, kind and unbelievable at what she does. The night time - the set up looked effortless, the sound checks made everyone giddy. Our first dance song was smashed out of the park. The manner of every single one of you was something else, so polite and lovely. And your music was just next level. I loved every single song and you should all be so proud. People are still messaging me about how amazing you were. So a million thanks from a very happy bride. Martyn, thank you for reading, replying and understanding all my emails. You lot are the best and I can’t wait for something else to come up so I can book you - just got to let my feet simmer because they are still aching today!! A million thanks xxx Celia & Liam, Wedding at Lough House Farm – 5th August 2023 "

"Rating 6/6 : Brilliant Our Wedding at Sopwell House Private Function, St Albans on Sunday 5 May 2024 Uptown Funk were absolutely brilliant and made our wedding so much fun! Everyone was raving about the band and it was so great seeing all guests on the dancefloor the entire time! We made a few requests too (our first dance and Israeli dancing) and they were brilliant for every single song. It’s just a shame our wedding had to finish- we could have kept partying through the night!! Natalie Gachowicz, Monday 6 May 2024"

"My wife and I had TIDE play at our wedding at Notley Abbey a few weeks ago and they were amazing! They ensured their setting up and sound checks worked around our schedule and prior to the big day were really pro-active in getting in contact with us to make sure everything was in place. On the day we had them play 3 x 40 minute sets with DJ'ing in between - and what a difference the live band had on our night! For every second they played we had a packed dance floor which is exactly what we were hoping for. Great songs, super energy, an amazing performance and we can't thank them enough for playing a few extras at the end of the night to the baying crowd who could have been there for hours more! Thanks again guys for making our wedding so memorable. "

"I run a small craft beer festival south of London and I've booked these girls for three years running. The festival attendees always say great things about the music while they are playing and they are very professional. They bring the party atmosphere I require for my event, I highly recommend them.

"Urban Knights not only had the dance floor packed all night, but the whole area around the dance floor too! Rya has an unbelievable voice - it feels wrong to describe them as a wedding band because they are just an incredibly talented group of musicians who happen to be able to sing brilliant covers. Their manager was also an absolute delight to deal with throughout, and the band took the 1.5 hour delay in starting as a result of dinner overrunning in their stride. Thank you for making our wedding day so special, and for giving us so many wonderful memories. "
