Review Centre: Bands & Ensembles

"I first saw The Charm Offensive at the Food Festival in Trinity Square and was instantly hooked. Ive seen loads of bands in my 57 years, but nothing at all like these guys. When my daughter was arranging her wedding, I suggested she go see this band, and she was as impressed as i was. I booked them straight away, and everyhting was so easy. Fast response, and accurate information, and a fair price. The day itself was magical and the night was an absolute party. The Charm Offensive made the night perfect. Pitting off the bridesmaids and groomsmen off against each other in a dance off really brought out the party spirit in everyone, and left us with memories to last a lifetime. Friends and Family still talk about that night to this day, and how great it was. Everything and more that i could ask for, for my baby girl. "

"When we found Southwest band we knew they were the band for us, their throwback medley was everything we loved from our youth and still love. They definitely delivered the goods, the dance floor was packed and all our guests commented on how good the band was. Thankyou for learning our first dance song. They did not disappoint and a massive highlight of our special day."

"We booked The Hot Hats for our wedding on 22nd July, his communication and understanding in the planning of the day was amazing. We arrived at our reception to hear them playing and as I walked into the room I was greeted with the warmest smiles. They played throughout our wedding breakfast in an adjoining room as back ground music, it was perfect. Later they moved to our main hall and set up for the evening do. They were so much fun and even allowed one of our friends to do her silly Dolly Parton impression and found the backing track for her, such fun. They then sang Here Comes The Sun for our first dance "

"Incredible performance and such a fun, high-energy team! The music was spot on for the party theme, with a brilliant, exclusive playlist that had everyone enjoying themselves. The atmosphere was amazing, and we’re still talking about it a week later. A fantastic band!"

"Black Velvet Band Ceilidh Trio / Georgia's Wedding Ceilidh / October 2024 It was so much fun to have the trio along and they were so clear with their instructions that even the French at our wedding could follow along. Mike’s communication was superb and at one point extremely helpful by replying quickly with a key document, as we dealt with a problem with our venue. Thank you all."

"We first stumbled across Ed & Oliviya when they performed an acoustic set for the Bedford Gin Festival back in 2018. When we started planning our wedding in the Loire Valley, France my [now] wife and I both suggested we contact them to see if they'd be willing to travel and perform for us. Having contacted Ed directly, I cannot overstate how great he was to deal with. Ed was always prompt in his responses, from the quotation to additional requests we made along the way (and also on the day itself). Nothing was ever too much for them and they added significantly to our special day. We had a large number of guests specifically mention how much they enjoyed Ed & Oliviyas music - they performed before the ceremony and also got the party started after dinner. They make a fantastic duo, with Ed on guitar and Oliviya's stunning vocals. I would whole-heartedly recommend using these two if you have a special event which requires some music. Next time we have a party and need some music - we will definitely be giving you a call. Thanks again for everything, and making our day extra special. Love, Damian & Anastasia"

"Ed and Oliviya were fantastic when performing at our wedding. They sung for our guests as they were arriving, they then relocated to sing me down the aisle, then relocated again to sing during our reception drinks. Everybody has commented on how brilliant they were, but they were also incredible polite and professional on the day. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them!"

"Kevin entertained us with a wonderful catalogue of Sinatra and Rat Pack songs. He was very personable, extremely likeable and absolutely professional. All our guests commented on his excellent performance and several asked for his contact details."

"Couldn't fault Michael, he had great communication with me ahead of the event and even questioned if there was anything specific he should wear, which was great as our event had a dress code theme. He was prompt and his performance was fab! Would definitely book again and recommend to others :)"

"We had a wonderful wedding the ceremony was lovely and the music was beautiful. So many of our guests have commented on the music. Thank you for all your help throughout our planning. Is there an address I could send a thank you card that yourself and the musicians would see? "

"The actual booking process was easy and although it took a little while for the band to get in touch, it was all handled very professionally. Jonah from the band called me to confirm before the event too. The band were great. - Note from Director of Music. This was the bands first event with us and so they didn't realise they were allowed to speak to the client direct hence the delay in them getting touch."

"James was really great, arrived early and quietly set up in plenty of time. All of the music was wonderful and he also made a few announcements through the speaker system about food etc. which was really helpful. Really couldn’t have been better! Thanks James!"
