Review Centre: Bands & Ensembles

"“Clearly very talented musicians, we can’t recommend Simon Ritchie Music enough. Simon and the band kept the atmosphere at our Summer Ball upbeat with a good mixture of old and new, leading to some anthemic tunes to round off which had the whole dancefloor going. With a vast setlist, Simon easily navigated the evening through dinner to later in the evening.” (Corporate, Hertfordshire Building Control)"

"It’s hard to put into words how special it was having Amy and Mark sing and perform for us on our wedding day. I met Amy back in my home town by chance (bonding over Cher on the dance floor)! I thought then that she was fabulous so decided to check out the Mardy Johnny Depps as I was looking for the perfect act to play for us during and after our ceremony, and wow I am so glad I did. I instantly fell in love with their sound, their energy and their epic repertoire. From enquiring to picking out songs to working out the logistics of my aisle entrance, it was a breeze which is exactly what you need when planning a wedding or event. Hearing my aisle song sang by Amy in its own unique and beautiful way was just sensational and a moment I’ll never forget. They are so versatile with the songs they can perform and even took requests on the spot from our guests. Everyone commented the same and they kicked the celebrations off in the best way possible… with good energy, buckets of soul and a little early afternoon boogie. Thank you so much for being a part of our day x "

"Wow. I knew Lara was a very talented vocalist but she exceeded our expectations. The has the voice of an angel and we were all blown away. I’m confident my grandad heard the songs sang to him and Lara has provided us with a beautiful memory we shall treasure forever from a tough day. Right from the start of our communication Lara was just the right balance of professionalism but also approachable human with a really kind heart. No matter what question I had or request I made she always went above and beyond to make it heard and we can’t recommend or thank her enough. What a talented lady overall a kind human being with an angelic voice ."

"I just wanted to take this moment to thank you for being such an important part in our wedding. From the start of our planning we both agreed that we needed to lind an amazing band for our reception and you guys blew it out the park! What a talented group you are, absolutely amazing! The dance floor was never empty and our guests kept commenting on how amazing you were. From our first dance, the request of the slosh to the amazing sax performance you guys outdid yourself. We cannot thank you enough for an amazing night."

"We booked The Woolers for our wedding day, which included playing during the ceremony, as well as a 45 minute set of them followed by 45 minutes of Bandeoke. We were absolutely blown away by how amazing they sound. Incredible musicians and authentic, brilliant vocals (we found so many wedding bands had more of a 'musical theatre' vibe, but these are the real deal). They were so organised and easy to communicate with from the get go, worked with us to build a playlist from their song list and even went out of their way to learn specific songs special to our day (The Maccabees, Don McClean and The Cure) During the ceremony they also seamlessly filled with instrumental tunes as we were running a little late, so there was no awkward silence. So many of our guests commented how great the band were and, as it was a festival wedding, music was always a huge part of our day. Bandeoke was so much fun as well, with plenty of our guests able to get up and join them to sing their favourite songs. I honestly couldn't recommend them more. They're the best wedding band we've seen, with top of line equipment, a great mix of tunes and above all else just 4 great guys who were a pleasure to work with. "

"We booked Dave months and months ago to play at our wedding after a million and one positive reviews. He is absolutely amazing. He was professional, kind, friendly and nothing was too much trouble. Communication was always easy and he answered all questions we had and was extremely accommodating during uncertain times. We had nothing but smiles on the faces of our guests during the welcome drinks when Dave was playing. I am now trying to think of another event we can book him for just to listen to more! Thank you Dave. You are one of life’s good eggs."

"Put simply, Alex was one of the highlights of our big day. Her song selections are fab (and she took on our requests), she was so easy to speak to in the run up to the day, and on the day we had so many guests approaching us and complementing her stunning voice – we could not agree more. In fact, it was Alex's beautiful voice that set off my tears during the ceremony. Now I just need to find another excuse to work with her again and I will be happy :) Thanks again Alex, you’re an amazing talent! Love K & A"

"Hi David! I wanted to say a huge thank you to all of you! You were all incredible and hugely talented. Our guests could not stop talking about you at our pool party the next day. From only realising 'At Last' was being sung live - it sounded so like the recording, to the lively aperitivo and the stunning sax - what a talent! The dance floor was never empty. Also you were incredible in the organisation period! Thank you for making the trip to be with us! We so appreciated it! And hopefully you can all have some fun in the sun. Much love! Maria & Ben"

"Groove Central are the best band around! They worked the dance crowd and kept people dancing all night with their wide range of music. They gel so well and Suzy's voice is incredible. We had so much positive feedback and we had so much fun! 10/10 "
