"This is the second time we have booked B & The Hornets band and as with the first occasion they did not disappoint. Despite restricting them to a far smaller area than they are used to they rose to the occasion captivating everyone with their tunes. I had to intervene at the end to quell the tide of ‘Encore’ requests as I truly believe they’d still be here now! Thoroughly recommended! "

"We are so grateful for The VIP Formula! They really made our big day so very special. They delivered the most fun and amazing range of songs which invited all our guests to join and dance the whole time. They were on time, planned ahead together with us and the venue, their show and the list of songs making the whole evening run smoothly. The music was inclusive for all age ranges so not a single person stayed on their seats. We would really recommend this band. It was professional, exciting, on time, organised and with a true interest to help, entertain and make our night unforgettable. With all our gratitude, Steve & Mariana"

"Headlining at the Festival of Colours, Latina Festivale brought the South-American summer vibes with smooth vocals and tight melodies. The band were easy to work with, and we would book again."

"Rory and his colleagues played at my husband's 40th birthday party. This was held on a summer evening at home for around 60 people. Having live music totally transformed the night. Rory's band created a really unique atmosphere. The music was relaxed and subtle, which meant that the conversation could flow, but so enjoyable to listen to that you didn't want it to end. I would love to have the opportunity to hear them play again and I would not hesitate to engage them for another occasion."

"We were very pleased that we hired Rory. We were particularly impressed with communication before the day and it was great to speak to him. He was very friendly, approachable and accommodating. On the day, his performance was soulful and classy and he very closely followed our song preferences. We would thoroughly recommend Rory."

Dear Alex & Emma, I hope you enjoyed your weekend. Thank you for the testimonial, which is perfect and much appreciated. I have passed on your kind comments to Rory. No problem re: meeting Rory on the day. I understand it is tricky to do everything on your wedding day. I’m delighted to hear that the engagement went successfully. I will pass on your kind feedback to our agent. I would like to take this opportunity to thank you once again for working with us, and I look forward to hearing from you again in the future. Thanks_Jo

"An amazing performance at our wedding. Every guest had so much praise, not only for the superb music, but also how friendly, professional and delightful you were. Thanks again guys! "

"Thank you so so much! That was simply incredible - it is hard to put into words just how special it was to hear live music of such calibrate, enthusiasm and skill. It was incredible to be a part of the songs, dancing along and - as an aside - simply amazing to have you as a familiar face. Really brought back the happiest of memories. We’ve been receiving messages in capital letters from friends saying ‘THE BAND WAS AMAZING’. We’re all quite a musical bunch and lots of us have all attended quite a few weddings now so that’s a huge compliment. Please thank the band for learning the Lianne le havas song. We had to keep double checking the band hadn’t been replaced by Lianne le havas herself - such a magical way to start the evening. Now just have to dream up some other excuse to hire you guys… a 33rd birthday party?!"
