Review Centre: Wedding Bands

"Edina and Tony are fantastic musicians. We fell in love with their music at the Rythm Tree festival on the Isle of Wight 3 years ago. We liked them so much we contacted them to play at our wedding. They played two sets at our wedding reception and then played the song to our first dance and got the dance floor going before handing over to the DJ. First class performance by them and the crowd loved them. "

"Debi Hall was amazing! It turned our Fourth of July celebration into a slice of Southern Comfort. I felt like I was back in Tennessee with my family. We will definitely be hiring her again."

"Please thank the band for making the evening amazing, being professional and well organized. The full band including the brass created a full complete sound which many of my guests commented on. The dance floor was filled! I have spent the last week receiving compliments saying how good the band was and how did I find you! In particular, the Florence songs were fantastic."

"We thought Relative Cool were absolutely brilliant when they played at our wedding. The vocalist was fabulous! The 3 sets filled the whole evening and definitely had everyone up dancing. I also really appreciated little things like the singer chatting with one of the kids while they had a break between sets. They were thoroughly professional throughout. We spoke to Tom before the evening and he was always really responsive with messages. We would definitely recommend them and thank you very much for making it a great evening!"

"Edina was so fantastic! Not only is her playing wonderful but she really helped us to decide what we wanted from her sets. As well as playing at our reception, Edina played a stirring flamenco set during dessert, which get everyone moving and kept the energy up. Friendly, responsive and good fun, Edina received so many wonderful compliments from our friends. Thank you, Edina! "

"What are the Diamond Skyline Orchestra doing next year???? We have had such overwhelmingly positive feedback on the night and specifically on the band. We were only disappointed we didn’t have you play for longer! All of our staff had a wonderful evening; they are saying it was the best Christmas party ever. It will be a tough act to follow such a successful party next year. Let me know when you will start taking bookings for 2018!"

"For Duo - Chris and Andy were phenomenal. Absolutely everything we wished for. Our wedding was not your average wedding as it was out in the woods with no electricity. Chris and Andy went above and beyond and we would recommend them to anyone. Every single person at the wedding commented on how good Chris and Andy were. They played all the song we requested and made the performance very fun. We didn’t want them to stop performing! Thank you so much for making our special day even more incredible. I will recommend you guys to everyone and we hope to use you again for another event. Thank you again! "

"The Bilberries were on superb/top form last night at The Plough pub, Coldharbour. Hugely entertaining, enjoyable and, above all, fun. I love their unique “folk” twist on some well known classics. Can’t wait for the next gig! "

"I booked the locals for my sister in laws 30th birthday party. Paul was great with communication via email and planning for the event- always prompt in his responses and they delivered exactly what we were hoping for. The songs were brilliant, they created a great atmosphere and we had comments from guests about how good they were and how much they had enjoyed having a live band. Thanks very much guys- would definitely recommend!!"

"It’s March and still raining. I’ve trawled through some serious procrastination to decide where I’m going tonight; at least three decent live music offerings in Chester that I know of. And I’m sure the others were brilliant. The Original 90’s Britpop Experience are, in their own words, a “tribute to the British Britpop music scene” and a “powerful combination of passion and quality.” A tribute band, to me, equals lunatic professionalism. To tribute a whole scene is a big ask. Good covers bands are rare enough, taking that enormous and unlikely step beyond random amateur recreation. But these guys really do tick the box of perfectionists, professional curators though. Friday night was time travel night with a set list that captured the point where British alt-rock got (largely) happy and popular (in a good way). A guitar-dominated, looping and lurching opener with Ocean Colour Scene and The Riverboat Song; polished and convincing. The second song in and I’m braving the dance floor with the pointy-shooed brigade. A few songs further and they offer me proof of their professionalism. A very-very-very long time ago I was lucky enough to make it into Brixton Academy and unfortunate enough to catch James on a sincerely off night. And I’ve heard James and Sit Down many times since: at home, on the radio, in DJ sets and covered more than it should be. It's one of those beautiful songs that gets tired through overuse. And on this particular Friday night I heard it come alive; all vitality restored. There were the things I expected; a good dose of Blur and Oasis both, Stereophonics, Bluetones and more, then some referencing back to foundation stones with The Who and The Jam. The Original 90’s Britpop Experience switched between styles and musical voices with conviction; into acoustic things and seamlessly back out again. The magic of seeing grown men dance without a pint in hand happened repeatedly through the two sets. On any given set you pray for that one song you don’t see coming; the track you might flick through on the album that becomes something else entirely live. So it was with Blur’s Charmless Man. That perfect Blur poetry, is simple, direct and delivered with energy. The Original 90’s Britpop Experience are a good distance from being charmless. They are careful collectors and curators of songs; fine musicians and performers!"

"Hi Ben and the rest of the band, We are back from minimoon now and we just wanted to say thank you so much for playing at our wedding! Everyone enjoyed it and we really appreciate it! All the best for the future, Adam and Laura "

"The band played at our wedding a few weeks ago and were exceptional. They learned the song for our first dance and performed it perfectly and exactly the same timing as the original. They performed a wide range of music but kept in mind our preferences. So many guests commented upon how good they thought the band was and really enjoyed the evening. All the band members were really friendly and fun. Thank you guys! Ros & Duncan"

"The guys were absolutely fantastic, my parents were delighted with the surprise and everyone has commented on how the steel band added to the party atmosphere of the occasion. My only regret is that I didn't think before hand to get some lessons from the band before the day to play a tune for our family and friends.... that would have been an amazing surprise for everyone!! I'll have to do that next time! It was also a pleasure to deal with you, you were very helpful with the booking. If you ever need a reference for you or the guys I'd be happy to provide one for future clients."
