"The Cheers provided exactly what we were looking for from our wedding band. We were attracted to their option of having up to three singers present and really varied repertoire. This meant that energy was really strong throughout, the increased size of the band adding to the sense of occasion and spectacle. The variety of tracks from disco, classics, rock and pop meant that there was something for everyone throughout the set. The band's experience and expertise meant that genres flowed seamlessly from one to the other. The Cheers were also very flexible both in advance of the performance and on the night. They were happy to accommodate requests for new songs in the repertoire beforehand and were also very patient as the day ran behind schedule, pushing back their start time.”"

"Stretto Ensembles were amazing on our wedding day. Prior to the wedding day, they were always quick to reply to any queries we had and had an extensive repertoire of music for us to choose from. On the day itself, they arrived early and judged the ambiance perfectly for the music for the guests' arrival. For the ceremony, they played absolutely beautifully and made the bride's entrance special and memorable. They also set a perfect ambiance for the drinks reception after our ceremony. Punctual, open, and professional, thank you so much for making our wedding day so special."

"The Covered were stunning and without a doubt made our charity ball an amazing success! The songs they chose could not have been better and everyone was on the dance floor not wanting it to end! John, Sara and the team were so friendly, and professional throughout and booking through Encore made it so easy. Definitely recommend!!"

"BEST BAND EVER!! Lilac and her 6pc funk band played at our wedding in Summer 2021, and Rem DJ'd. Both sets were absolutely fantastic! In the build up to the wedding, Lilac and Rem were incredibly helpful in guiding us through our playlist, identifying crowd pleasers and song collections which worked incredibly well together. They were both full of ideas and suggestions and left no stone unturned in their preparations! Planning our evening set with them was a real giggle! They were very clear in outlining their requirements on the day, and recommending what timings would work well. They were also incredibly understanding, cooperative, and willing to be flexible as we waited to plan our wedding around COVID. On the day, Lilac and the team were full of energy and this reverberated around the room, creating a truly special atmosphere! Lilac has an amazing, soulful voice and so much stage presence! The saxophonist was also outstanding!! They kept the dance floor filled all evening and full of noise as we all sang along. Lilac and the team's set was incredible, and they kept going beyond the two 45 min slots to all of our delight! Rem's DJ set to conclude the evening was incredible! He struck a really great balance between old school classics and more modern, higher tempo tunes. We'll remember excitedly dancing along to Avici and Craig David, and finishing off with a sing along to Wonderwall, Sweet Caroline and Angels, with all our best friends surrounding us, for the rest of our lives! Thank you so much for a massive contribution towards making our wedding the best day of our lives! "

"Saw these guys at a gig in Bangor while I was visiting a mate who’s at uni there. While they were entertaining to Joe Bloggs, and a good laugh to be fair, as a musician I must be brutally honest and say I thought they were pretty ropey and out of tune! Fine after a few beers for a laugh but musically dodgy!"

Hi Andy, thanks for the mixed review. We really appreciate your feedback. I'll go buy a tuning machine and maybe get a masters degree to go with my 2:1 honours degree from the RNCM and 2 professional performance diplomas. Best wishes, Helmut!

"We have been meaning to get in touch to thank you for putting on such a great show for our wedding day. Nicky and I and all our guests really enjoyed your sets and especially your cover of Chan Chan - absolutely perfect! Our guests have been sending us their photos of the day and there are some lovely shots of you, which we thought you might like to see. You really helped make our wedding a very special day and we so appreciate all the hard work and effort you put into the preparation and performance. It was a pleasure working with you. I loved our chats and Zoom meeting and hope we have the opportunity to meet you again. Our heartfelt thanks and very best wishes to you all. Donna & Nicky xxxx"

"Edina's beautiful classical guitar playing was perfect for our wedding cocktail hour. She played a great mix of classical music and quirky tunes like pirates of the Carribbean which made our guests chuckle."
