"We hired Lucinda to sing at our wedding in June 2023. She sang during the ceremony and our drinks reception which were both outside. She was incredible from start to finish. Her voice carried beautifully and so many of our guests commented on what an amazing singer she was. She was very professional and sang the songs we’d requested. I would highly recommend her to anyone! Thank you Lucinda for being part of our special day. "

"I was sceptical at first that they could come up with the goods with only 3 players, but WOW did they deliver!!! the controlled tight and virtuosic ensemble playing was without peer."

"I booked The Jive Trio to play at my husband’s 40th birthday party at our home. The trio played beautifully, they are a talented group of guys! The live acoustic music created a wonderful atmosphere on the day. The band were organised, prompt and a pleasure to deal with. I would highly recommend the Jive Trio for an event."

"Hetty and the Jazzato Band are absolutely fantastic. Despite not speaking a word of italian, we were happy listening to them all night - to be fair, they really could have kept singing for the entire evening. I've seen them sing a few times now, and my friends are always impressed with just how amazing Hettys voice is. I've become a big fan and will defo consider hiring them for any events I have. Also, you'll know most of the italian songs they sing! "

"The Rampart Street Ramblers played a wonderful mix of music at our wedding as guests arrived, mingled and drank at our wedding reception. The weather was not as dry as we'd hoped, so the band moved around to various places around the venue to entertain different groups. Beforehand, Dai called me and was very happy to cater to our specific tastes and needs. So many of our guests told us they were great, and at least one couple have asked for their details for their wedding too. My only disappointment was I didn't get to hear them much as I was being dragged off in all directions. "

"Let's Smooth Things Over played at our wedding on 24 August and were just absolutely fantastic. All guests thoroughly enjoyed the two sets and a number asked how we found them. Highly recommend. Thanks all so much."

"Motown Memories was absolutely amazing. I knew they would be good from the videos, but they absolutely knocked it out of the park. The dance floor was packed all night and everyone has been talking about how good they were ever since. Unbelievable talent aside (I truly mean it- unbelievable!) They were just wicked to deal with from start to finish, true professionals but totally personable and everything you could want! Ione is a dream vocalist, and the guys are fab. Top-tier music selections and medleys. The DJ set/request hour was wicked too and music in between. They vibed off the crowd and the crowd, them! If you are reading this ... Take it as a sign to book them! You won't regret it. 10/10 impressive, I couldn't have asked for more. We love you guys! Xx"

"Thank you so much for performing at our wedding in August, you fit in perfectly with our 50’s theme. You also went above and beyond to find a slower version of our song for me to walk down the aisle to as well as learning new songs. We had so many compliments about your beautiful singing. All of your efforts were really appreciated. "
