"We hired John and his band as a quintet for our wedding and what a wonderful choice. The guys travelled to the New Forest for us for our big day. Superb sound and multi talented. They provided a substantive song list to choose from plus a couple of extra requests. They had everyone up and rocking. Wonderful Irish sound and a memorable singalong to ‘Dirty Old Town’ to more modern music. On top of that lovely guys with a warm personality who really looked like they enjoyed performing. Recommended for any event. Many thanks for helping our day memorable. Paul and Jo"

"We just wanted to say thank you so much for playing at our wedding. You completely exceeded all of our expectations, you guys are incredible and had everybody on the dance floor all night. Apparently even people in the local town were sat out in their gardens listening to you guys until the end of your set too! We have had so many messages from our friends and family saying what a memorable part of the day the band were and how completely knocked out they were by you. Special thanks to your amazing sound engineer who played all of our music for us exactly as we wanted, it was not unnoticed how patiently he sat there waiting throughout our meal to pause/play the music. And of course, our walk in music was perfect too. We saw him packing up right at the end of the night past midnight, it was a long day for him and he was amazing. Not to forget to mention the incredible sound system. It is the first wedding we have been to where there were no issues with the microphones/volume of speeches. We cannot sing your praises high enough, it was an absolute privilege to work with you X. Amelia & Mikey, Wedding at a private House Torquay - 28th June 2025"

"I would just like to say that Embassy Band were wonderful. It’s really hard to play to a room full of 11 year old girls but they were warm and engaging and so lovely to all of the girls. Huge respect to the Embassy Band and an enormous thank you. You guys are magnificent. Victoria and David Elfick, Daughters Prom at South Lodge in Horsham – 2nd August "

"We have had Nev and Russ play at the Boat Inn Penallt on several occasions. They play a great selection of music from the 60s onwards. The duo are favourites with our locals so we would very much recommend them for music nights and special occasions"

"Thanks so much for a fabulous performance last Saturday. The band really made the night for me, and i hope you got a buzz from it too. You got lots of praise from our friends and even my 78 yr old father in law , although I think he perhaps shouldn't have sat on the table closest to the band! If you need any testimonials we'd be happy to oblige. Thanks once again!"

"We would like to thank the James Bond Orchestra for having made our wedding so special. Absolutely everybody commented on how great the bands were and that you were the best bands they had ever heard. Alex and I could not stop smiling from the moment you started to play and I had goose-bumps all over my body. It was just such a great night and thank you again. Alex is waiting to hear about a possible date for his company dinner dance. Rest assured when this date is known we will contact you.

In the mean time we hope to see you in the Jazz Cafe which is our local venue and we believe you already played there in the past. Thank you so much!!!"

"Despite a few issues, out of our control per say, the Bilberries were amazing artists. Have already got them booked back in for a few more events. Easy to book with and easy to communicate throughout. Song choices were awesome and our guests and team enjoyed listening to them"

"Dear Debbie, now that the dust has settled after Pat's 50th Birthday Party I wanted to say a very big thank you to you and your band. You were absolutely amazing. Your energy and sensational voice made our party. The floor was packed throughout the night and even the most reluctant dancers you coaxed to the floor. I loved especially the audience participation. All our guests raved about you and the band afterwards. Thank you once again for giving us such a great and memorable night."
