Review Centre: Party Bands

"The setting for our August 2018 wedding was the beautiful Arnos Vale’s Woodland Undercroft. There was a “Gothic Lite” theme to this largely (we had a marquee!) outdoor event which we wanted to be as informal as possible. It was important to us that everybody who was attending or contributing to the event felt that they were able to participate in the occasion as guests. For this reason we wanted musicians who we felt would “fit in” the with guests as well as playing the type of music that we wanted . Having trawled through various websites we discovered the “Hot Hats” and, having played their version of “Friday I’m In Love”, knew that we didn’t need to look any further. The sound was great and the image of the band was just what we wanted. Having then seen the band play a couple of times, it was clear that the personalities and sound was just what we wanted. As there was no particular running order for our afternoon reception, our brief to the band was, basically, “play when you think you need to” and this worked a treat. In addition we were played down the aisle to the band playing “I’m A Believer” which was a really special moment for us. There was good communication at the point of booking which was a painless process and continued contact with Alfie and his agent made arranging the event so much easier. We loved the band and the guests loved them as well. We would therefore have no hesitation in recommending the “Hot Hats” for your event. Martin & Nikki P.S. If there was a downside to our afternoon it was that Alfie (despite his best efforts) was unable to teach the bride to properly strum a guitar but, in the overall scheme of things, we’ll let that pass!"

"Every bride and groom should look into booking the Ekoes! whether you want some gorgeous acoustic tunes or the party mood setting, Kristian and the band are so talented and professional. Communication is friendly, reliable and trustworthy which you really want when booking your all important suppliers. We adored the acoustic set Kris performed for our special day and his equipment was top quality too- no cringey mic feedback! give these guys a message they are brilliant!!!"

"The band were fantastic, really professional and excellent at getting everyone on their feet dancing!! We asked them to learn our first dance song which they did no problem and sang beautifully. Thank you for making our special day that little bit more special."

"I'm pleased to recommend this band to you. Our students were reluctant to let them leave the stage and they were re-booked immediately. They provide superb entertainment and the music is excellent!"

"Sophie and I just wanted to thank you guys so much for keeping everyone entertained during our wedding day back in August, you managed to do exactly what we had wanted and did with such high spirits. Thanks also for being so accommodating to all my little surprises like learning the music so that Samantha could sing the first song, and sorry for not having time to sing Kiss From A Rose. I'm sure you would have nailed that too though. Wishing The Shooglers all the best for the future, I'll always happily recommend you to friends. "

"My husband and I want to say a huge THANK YOU to the Radio Dukes for a truly outstanding performance. We hired them to play at our wedding in March 2019 and our guests spent the whole night on the dance floor. Communication with the band was fantastic from start to finish and very professional. Radio Dukes are lovely very talented people and we would highly recommend them. "
