Review Centre: Background Music Bands

"Rachel and Martin were amazing not only on our wedding day but before hand giving advice and suggestions to help make our day the best. The music was beautiful and loved walking down the aisle to Pachelbel Canon D and the range of music played suited all our guests. Thank you for being part of our special day."

"We sincerely thank you Tri Tones for playing at our wedding. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed your music and were just so impressed. It most certainly made an incredible difference to our day, and we thank you so much for being a part of our celebration. If we get to celebrate our marriage with my family in the UK, we definitely would love you to play again!"

"I booked the Love for Sale for a private event with around 90 guests. The booking was smooth. The day before the gig John visited the venue to see the space and figure out how to best set up the equipment. On the day the band arrived on time, they set up quickly and efficiently. As there was a 50's theme to the event , the musicians were really happy to make that extra effort and dressed up to match the era. That was brilliant. They also tailored the list of jazzy pieces they played on the night. The music was just right, created the perfect ambience for the guests. Everyone in the band were very friendly and had a lovely aura about them. Their positive approach made the collaboration a pure pleasure. Overall I am very satisfied with the Sale for Love and would highly recommend them! "

"I hated 1980s music until I experienced Shuffle Pop performing at The Dart Music Festival. I loved them because they were different and funny, but predominantly because they were just bloody good: kazoos are amusing, but they are also a valid musical instrument. Fabulous. "

Thank you for your kind words Rob! So glad we've offered an olive branch to a bygone musical decade.......

"These guys were excellent. They travelled quite some distance to play at my husband's birthday party and were extremely well received by all of our guests. I would recommend them highly to anyone considering a steel band."

"We had the Black Pearl Band for our wedding. The guys put on a great set list that got the crowd moving and drew lots of positive comments from our guests. They were so good, we've asked them to play my 40th birthday party later this year."

"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."

"Can't recommend Whisky & Ginger enough. They played all our special requests, and had people up dancing all night. Just perfect!"

"Hi. Many thanks to you and the band for an excellent performance! Everyone I spoke to afterwards not only enjoyed themselves immensely but were highly complimentary about the band, the music played, and the instructions for the dancers. I hope our paths cross again, and I'll certainly recommend Jamie’s Ceilidh Collective to anyone planning a similar event. Best wishes, Norman"

"David and I would like to extend a huge thanks to yourself and your fellow players for making our Civil Partnership so incredibly special. Everyone was talking about how romantic, inspiring and beautifully scene-setting your playing was, I listened by my room window as I got ready for my big day and kept smiling as I heard our chosen tracks played so stunningly. All our guests commented on our Harry Potter theme entrance, and Signed, sealed, delivered as we put our signatures on official documents - your trio was a talking point for the rest of the day as everyone told us how much they enjoyed it. So, again, thank you so very much for taking my breath away at each note, and making our day one to remember. we cannot recommend your trio highly enough. With love and thanks "

"They definitely put the “Fun” in their name for sure. We hired the band for our party & they didn’t disappoint. They were brilliant from start to finish & very adaptable with their set. We went for the 6 peice band which just looked & sounded amazing & they were very interactive with our guests. Would absolutely love to hire them again in the future & all communication before hand was felt with very professionally . Massive thanks for making our night so great! "

"I absolutely loved this pair. I recently planned a wedding in Duns, Scotland and Sally & Graham drove over an hour to play about 3 hours at my event. Everything went completely perfectly, from our communication beforehand, the song list, them adding songs I requested, the location and sound quality for their sets, and setup/tear down. I wanted a relaxed, acoustic sound with talented musicians definitely not a DJ party wedding band, so this duo was perfect for that. This website and this band are excellent value for the range and, again, quality of the music, 100% worth the price and more. Before the event, I gave them some some requests including Africa by Toto, which they REWROTE and learned in their own style (HUGE HIT and really surprised my husband). Also we coordinated a place for them to setup, the times of the sets, and what meals they wanted to have, and everything went off without a hitch. They were also so very sweet and wonderful people that they really impressed all my guests who were complimentary and wondering where I found such an amazing band. One of the best things about the Scotswood Acoustic Duo is how their song list covers a huge variety of music that they somehow play all equally wonderfully. So everyone's music tastes were satisfied and it made for very interesting listening, this was one of the compliments I heard alot. There are just so many nice things to say, please book this band and get them doing music full time because they are AMAZING!"

"We hired Vitula Quartet for our wedding which happened just over a week ago now. All I can really say is that they were amazing. They were priced perfectly, great communicators, very friendly and extremely professional. We wanted two songs that weren't in their repertoire and they were happy to learn them for us. We were also working towards a really tight schedule which was never an issue for them. They interacted with our guests (especially the kids) which was lovely to see and they all dressed incredibly smart - this may seem insignificant but it made all the difference on the day when taking pictures and videos. Thank you for helping make our day as perfect as it was. I truly hope we are able to work with you again at some point. "
