Review Centre: Background Music Bands

"I cannot praise the band highly enough, they were exactly what we had hoped for our special day. From the moment we saw the videos we knew we had found what we were looking for and the pre-event communication was excellent to ensure they provided what we wanted. On the day itself everything went like clockwork with the two sets they played. Martini 3 have a high level of musicianship and are great at creating a good atmosphere, even in a large open plan space. Many of our guests commented on the quality of the band and we were absolutely delighted - they helped to create our perfect day. We would definitely recommend Martini 3 for any event and also we're very happy with the service provided by Last Minute Musicians in facilitating the booking."

"Squarewaves were absolutely excellent; so many of our guests commented on the quality and variety of their performance and we really loved their set list. They were polite, punctual, funny and entertaining and were able to fill the dance floor; gauging the mood of the crowd really well. The vocals were perfect and we were amazed at how pitch-perfect and well rehearsed every song sounded. The garage mash-up was hilarious and unexpected and we will never forget the sight of seeing our relatives raving to their take on 'Insomnia.' An excellent, contemporary band offering a set list that matches absolute classics with up-to-date releases."

"What a wonderful afternoon Surrey Strings provided for our annual classical concert! Our audience gave them a standing ovation at the end. Beautiful pieces exquisitely performed. We could not have wished for better. Thank you very much! Also the communication and organisation with the agency and performers was very smooth and fast. 10 out of 10."

"Groove Army played at our recent celebration for about 100 people at the Suffolk Barn, Hawstead. They were brilliant with a great set list and sound. Very discreet setting up and clearing away and got the whole place dancing the night away. Thank you"

"Will was one of my favourite parts of our wedding last weekend! He was incredible, kept the guests hugely entertained whilst photos were being taken, he is easy to contact and very approachable. Will was great at suggesting a set list but extremely adaptable as well! The sound is amazing I couldn't get enough of it! I would recommend Will to anyone and lots of my guests have since asked for his details! What a star! Thank you, Sarah xx"

"Hi Anne, Please pass on my thanks to the rest of the quartet and also the person who was responsible for the amazing arrangements you played. They were very elegantly put together and none of the pop songs sounded forced or out of place despite the drastic change of instrumentation! In fact i'd say some of them soudned better this way. We particularly enjoyed the foo fighters arrangements, and I saw a number of guests singing along and conducting their way through Nessun Dorma. Sarah and I we're running around a lot but whenever we stopped to listen we loved what we heard. We didn't hear a note out of place and the intonation between you all was of the best we've heard from a quartet. It is obvious that you all take a lot of pride in what you do, the years of experience show. I know our guests were also very complimentary about it and we will happily recommend you to anyone who asks. It was worth every penny. Thank you once again, the music was beautiful!

"We absolutely loved Marisa and Jack, they are so talented and their set was perfect in every way. Great song choices, made their own by mixing 2 in 1, it was so original and unique. All our friends could not complement them enough and wouldn’t hesitate to book them for the next occasion! Aside from the music they were really lovely guests and so easy going, can’t wait to find another excuse to rebook!!"

"You and your guitarist were amazing. Having had a very particular request from our Chinese guests who wanted the ‘English experience’ you put together an amazing set of the best artist from the UK. They absolutely loved it and you were both fantastic. We can’t thank you enough for your professionalism and for working with us to exactly meet the clients' requirements. "
