"Just wanted to thank you all for helping to make our wedding day so amazing yesterday!! Wow- The guests couldn't get enough of you and, like true pros, took the hijacking by 'you know who' in good spirits! We couldn't recommend you highly enough for anyone looking for a band. And to dan- thank you for being so helpful before the big day xxx"

"Just a quick big up for the band. The guys were awesome and everyone at our Christmas party loved the whole interaction with the crowd and the choice of songs. They were totally professional and loved the fact they stayed for a drink afterwards and mixed with the party guests and chatted. A great night had by all. "

"We used Richard for our wedding ceremony and he was brilliant. Prior to the event, he made sure he had a good idea of what type of music we wanted. I didn't get to speak to him properly on the day but my husband said he was lovely. The music was beautiful, the song choices were great and several guests even commented on how good he was. Highly recommend him."

"Our friends and family continue to talk about how great you guys were. We couldn't have wished for a better or nicer band to perform at our wedding. Our friends and family continue to talk about how great you guys were. Thank you for performing our first song for us, you smashed it, and thanks for making our day so special!"

"They were brilliant and their performance was thoroughly enjoyed by our guests. We asked them to perform a mixture of country songs and pop songs and we loved the selection, there was something to cater for everyone. Wonderful vocals, harmonies and guitar playing. Lovely friendly duo and professional to deal with. We will definitely be having them back."

Hi Anup. Thank you for the lovely feedback! I'm very happy you enjoyed the music and it was a fabulous day and turnout, a beautiful crowd milling around drinking cocktails in the sunshine. I hope you got to relax and enjoy your special day after all the organisation, and that all the rest of the proceedings went just as wonderfully. Congratulations to you both! Sending my best wishes. 💐🥂

"As a wedding venue we get to listen to a huge range of bands with prices varying from £500-£5,000. Sadly price has nothing to do -or so it seems- with professionalism, personality and ability! Jolly Polly and the Pirates is very much at the bottom end of this price spectrum, but very, very much at the top of the performance ratings! To sum them up? They are musicians with really nice personalities who have great technical ability and understanding of sound, mixing and the audience. On bass guitar and vocals is Polly, who is probably one of the most energetic singers we have come across, with great variations, presence and depth. On lead guitar (and keys) Jon has great technical skills and enthusiasm for his role in the band, and on drums (and occasionally keys at the same time!!) a drummer who actually loves his drums - at last someone who realises drums are an instrument, not an object to take out your aggression on, perhaps that is down to his experience and talent. Individually they are great - as a band they are awesome! - Certainly at the top of our list and always hoped for! Alpheton Hall Barns - Historic Suffolk Wedding Venue "

"We were so impressed with Jon and he made our day extra special with his incredible playing throughout. Everyone at the wedding talked about how great he was and we were very lucky to have him as part of our big day. Thanks Jon! "

"The trio were amazing and helped us bring the atmosphere to our wedding that we hoped for! Our guests were also super pleased with them and told us to pass on the name of the band for possible future events! Could not have booked a better trio for sure. Well done guys. I will see if any family took photos of the evening "

"A fantastic band indeed who have worked hard and over many years to achieve the level of technical sophistication which deserves their international reputation and many awards! Guaranteed to get people doing the rock steady on the dance floor! They are amazing to watch at St. Paul’s Carnival in Bristol and also where they practice in Bath – even their rehearsals are wonderful occasions where you can witness true professionals hard at work and loving every minute of it!"

"We are so, so pleased that we booked Better Together Acoustic Duo because they made our wedding day so special! They are both so talented and wonderful people who created the perfect atmosphere during the ceremony, drinks reception and wedding breakfast. It was everything we hoped for. We cannot recommend them enough, thank you so much."
