"VIP Formula came to play a corporate party event that we have been running for almost 10 years now. After using the same old band for a while we wanted to shake things up, and almost every guest commented on how TLF were the absolute highlight of the party - and we all agree! Incredibly professional, punctual, a breeze to work with and they made everyone’s night. Couldn’t recommend them enough. Truly a delight to work with and they helped transform our event."

"The band were booked for the wedding reception of my son and new wife. The guys were brilliant, music was excellent, they were very smartly dressed and so pleasant to deal with. From the initial booking of the event I was kept updated, the manager Gary responded straight away to any queries I had. Overall a very professional band. I would not hesitate to recommend them. Price wise, they were also one of the best and charged only half of what other bands quoted."

"Our team would like to say a massive thank you from the bottom of our hearts for the brilliant contribution from The Wade Austin Steel Band which make our event such a huge success. We didn’t think it would be possible to improve on last year’s performance – but how wrong were we! Wade and his partner rocked the show and the feedback received was incredible. The event was thoroughly enjoyed by everyone and we will not have been able to do it without your support, dedication and hard work – thank you!"

"I found Shama to be a wonderful delight to work with. We recently hired her and her band to perform at my sister's Sangeet night. In the build up to the event Shama was excellent to deal with. She solved a lot of our logistical issues and her team and particularly her sound engineer were all overly helpful and highly professional. And most importantly, after all the planning and all the stress comes the night; and the singing was just exceptional. Within minutes people were up and dancing and one of the greatest compliments we've had about the night was the music and the singing. I highly recommend Shama and her team and would have no hesitation in hiring them again for our next event."

"Absolutely amazing!! We hired Mariachi Las Valentinas for a Mexican Day of the Dead party and were totally blown away by the quality of the music and the talent of the musicians. They really made the party go with a swing, and played a really good mixture of fast songs that had the audience up and dancing, and some slower songs that gave people a chance to catch their breath. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend them, they brought so much joy to our party - more than happy to personally recommend if there's anyone out there in two minds about whether to book them, just contact us via thephoenixgarden.org and we'll give you any extra details you need. Totally brilliant and we just can't thank this wonderful band enough - we had so many comments from local families who attended the event and told us how much they enjoyed the music. It almost felt as though we'd got some old friends to come and perform for us. If you're thinking of music for your party we'd wholeheartedly recommend Mariachi Las Valentinas - just please don't book them for any Day of the Dead events, because well be needing them again!!"

"We had The Emeralds play at our wedding reception in September, and they were outstanding. It was raining in the morning on our day and we didn’t know if we’d be able to have them play outside but they did. They brought warmth, energy and laughter to our cocktail reception and we’re so grateful. We were whisked off for pictures so we never got to say thank you in person. But we loved the music they played and our guest were very impressed. So a big thank you to The Emeralds!"

"Hi Paul, Thank you so much for yesterday, your guys were great and the feedback so far is that everyone loved the music. It really added to the atmosphere with us pumping the sound around the cricket pitch. They usually sit around in silence watching the cricket so we certainly put a twist on the way they enjoyed the day. Look forward to working with you again soon. Best wishes,"
