Review Centre: Latin / Salsa / Mariachi Bands

""I booked Latina Festivale for our annual company summer party, seeing as it was a Latin-themed party the band were a perfect fit. The booking process with easy and Rory was efficient getting over all the information I needed. We split the performances into two, which got more up-tempo as the evening went on. The vocals and quality of the musicians were outstanding and the band blended in well with our guests. The live performance definitely made the party all that more memorable, I certainly recommend booking the band for your next party!""

"South West Funk were fantastic - they absolutely got the mood and vibe of our wedding, and the dance floor was so busy when they played. They absolutely surpassed our expectations. We are delighted we booked then, and will happily look to rebook for any events."

"Rory is a talented professional. He contributed greatly to the ambience we were trying to achieve for our Brazilian-theme wedding shower. He plays several instruments very well and has a broad repertoire to choose from. We were glad to have asked him to play at our function."

"Rory hit the mark perfectly with his choice of music for our garden marquee wedding reception. Many people came up to us and said how much they had enjoyed listening to him and that he was the perfect link between the speeches and leading into the BBQ. Rory is a very talented musician and he wowed us with his sax and flute playing. We even had two professed ‘non-lovers’ of saxophone totally converted to his style and choice of music! The younger ones amongst the guests also made a point of coming up and saying how good he was and that they really enjoyed listening to him. So, thank you once again to Rory, a lovely guy who really made our wedding reception special – a fabulous find."

"Thank you so much for playing at our wedding! It was amazing. I loved the way you split the sets into two genres and it worked perfectly I think. Also thank you so much for putting so much time and effort into our request songs. As you could probably tell they went down a treat with everyone there... not only those within our band who knew and loved them but also our friends and family who had never heard anything like loved it too! You guys are truly talented and from start to finish complete professionals. Thank you so much for bringing the rhythms and feel of Latin America and Brazil to our wedding. It was absolutely perfect. If you need me to write any more as a recommendation then please just let me know as I could go on forever! Thank you once again and hopefully our paths will cross in the future somewhere somehow!"

"Thanks for your e-mail and I just wanted to reply on behalf of the whole team to say thank you for your help in making the arrangements for Rory and the band to be with us for our event. Our feedback is hugely positive - Rory arrived in plenty of time and liaised with us about the best place to get set up. The music was fabulous and exactly what we were hoping for in terms of providing a relaxed atmosphere for guests. We received lots of positive feedback about the whole reception on the lawn, including the music, so thanks to Rory and the band for their contribution to our event's success. We would highly recommend them."

"Rory played for our client's open-air Brazilian carnival summer barbeque. Combining swinging samba and Bossa Nova with up-tempo popular tunes and funky originals, he went down a treat with our guests, creating a festive atmosphere and keeping them drinking and dancing until the embers glowed. The standard of musicianship was excellent and the level of professionalism very high. A great success!"

Hi Andy, That's great - thanks for this! Sure, please do get in touch should you require the Latin trio for any of your events (I know that the bar expressed an interest on the day). Thanks and best regards, Rory

"Truly authentic Cuban / Latin band with exceptional talent. Michael and his band were the perfect choice for our 50th birthday party and I would readily hire them again without a doubt. Thank you guys so much for the best party music - everyone had such a great time and loved the band!"
