"We were very pleased that we hired Rory. We were particularly impressed with communication before the day and it was great to speak to him. He was very friendly, approachable and accommodating. On the day, his performance was soulful and classy and he very closely followed our song preferences. We would thoroughly recommend Rory. Please let him how how much we appreciated his performance."

Dear Alex & Emma, I hope you enjoyed your weekend. Thank you for the testimonial, which is perfect and much appreciated. I have passed on your kind comments to Rory. No problem re: meeting Rory on the day. I understand it is tricky to do everything on your wedding day. I’m delighted to hear that the engagement went successfully. I will pass on your kind feedback to our agent. I would like to take this opportunity to thank you once again for working with us, and I look forward to hearing from you again in the future. Thanks_Jo

"Dear Javier, just a quick mail to thank you so much for the wonderful 2sets you played for us last night at Iscoyd-I was completely taken by the music and danced so much( in very high heels ) that I could barely walk this morning! Please also thank your 3 fellow musicians -I received so many compliments re your music-it was all excellent and certainly added so much to our evening celebrations."

"Hi Rory Thanks so much for delivering a great performance on Saturday. You pitched it well and I appreciated you working the crowd towards the end. Rory delivered an exceptional, high energy performance for my 40th Birthday party. He understood the brief, dressed to impress and got the whole party dancing as Rory played amongst the crowd. Highly recommend! Best wishes and thanks again Edward"

"Francesca has a voice that you can rely on, she’s mesmerising, always on key, and she sets a feeling of luxury to an event. I chose Francesca due to her roots in Jazz, her Italian heritage (I work for Dolce & Gabbana) and her glamorous look. She made the event work, she had the crowd singing along and dancing and fulfilled every part of the brief – a consummate professional. I would strongly recommend booking Francesca for your next event, whether corporate, wedding or at your business."

"De Fuego played at our wedding and were just fantastic! Hearing their music we knew we were in for something special, but they were even better live and in person. Such skilled musicians who read the crowd perfectly and tailored their set to suit the mood of the room. Professionals all the way but equally importantly really friendly and relaxed. Edina and Tony really added to our special day and we hope to see them again at one of their gigs! "

""Thank you so much for playing at our wedding! It was amazing. I loved the way you split the sets into 2 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!""

"Frankie and Pete were professional from start to finish, and we felt like they took the time to understand us as a couple to help ensure they met our needs. (They) brought such a natural atmosphere of joy, and vibrancy to the wedding. 10/10 experience. Would thoroughly recommend. "

"Working with Edina Balczo was absolute pleasure. Her talent, attitude and performance were all great and apparent in our global award ceremony. We do recommend inviting Edina to any show / event you might have. "

"In addition, prior to the event, you gave me some amazing DJ music during the welcome cocktails and prior to the main music section after lunch. These little things make such a difference and show what a lovely and caring man you are, Rory, as well as being very professional."
