Review Centre: Country Bands

"We were a little nervous booking a band only from online material, but Stargazers did not disappoint!! They were incredible. Rhona the manager chatted through all my thoughts and genre style for the playlist and vibe we wanted at our wedding and they got it just right! Everyone was dancing, the band were interactive at all the right points, and they were forgiving of a rather overzealous wedding guest and their impromptu karaoke! These guys did such a good job and we would re-book them in a heartbeat!! "

"Amazing night with joyous music from the band from start to finish. Very accommodating for our age span of 8 years to 80 years! Plenty of caller participation to get us all going in fun dances which everyone said made them ache the next day! I heartily recommend them. Very friendly too! "

"We saw Sarah at a local event and loved her set. With our wedding reception/party in the planning it was an obvious choice to have her join us and she did an amazing job. She played a wonderful set which really set the vibe for the night. It was amazing that she doesn't play all the same old songs which so many artists do and the feedback we had on her was incredible. Also, arranging everything with her was super straight forward and in my opinion, she is excellent value for the quality of set. We'll recommend her at every opportunity and hopefully we'll be able to book again in the future!"

"Wow, wow, wow! I booked Loose Shoes on the basis of the reviews and demo online which were excellent but don't fully do them justice. Danny and Catherine were brilliant. They made our event - great vibe, amazing sound, hugely talented. Everyone was talking about them for weeks. If you're looking for a small band then look no further. We'll definitely be asking them to play again."

"Rachel played at our wedding and was just wonderful! She played and sang beautifully and added just what we needed to the afternoon of our wedding. She also happily stayed on later than agreed, with no questions asked! I would happily recommend her to anyone who wanted lovely relaxed live music at their wedding. Thank you very much X X "

"Very punctual and friendly! She sings all the tunes you would wanna hear on a night out. I highly recommend her for an enjoyable acoustic gig full of beautiful harmonies and songs."

"Kirsty was absolutely incredible and we’re so glad we booked her for our wedding! Over the last couple of years we’ve been to a number of weddings, none of which had a dance floor you didn’t want to leave, and as a result we were really wary when booking our DJ. We wanted to dance! We had a long list of things that were very important to us and finding someone that really understood our vision was absolutely essential. We’d met with a few DJ’s, none of which were giving us the right ‘vibe’ and then we found Kirsty. We had a phone call with her, during which we discussed every item on our very long list of requirements and she just GOT IT. She made us feel so at ease and reassured us that she understood exactly what we were looking for. My Wife and I both have incredibly varied music tastes which were catered for perfectly by Kirsty! Kirsty is SO organised. She sent us a document detailing everything she needed from us to do her job excellently. One of the items we were very concerned about was our ‘Do Not Play’ list, Kirsty was SO respectful of it from our very first conversation, and we just knew we had nothing to fear. We each made her a playlist, showcasing our individual music tastes, and she was able to blend them together perfectly on the night in a way that not only perfectly suited us, but enticed our guests, of all ages, onto the dance floor. We got married on the longest and hottest day of the year, 34°C and it wasn’t dark until gone 10:30pm but that didn’t matter, her playlist on the night (which she sent a copy of to us post wedding, which we loved) was so perfectly curated, people were dancing from the second she set up until we had to turn the music off. Every song on our ‘Must Play List’ was ticked off at the perfect time throughout the night, she was true to her promise and didn’t allow anybody to make requests (one of our big no-no’s as we’d had Uncles threaten some very questionable song requests leading up to the wedding). My personal favourite part of Kirsty’s set was probably the last half hour, she read the dance floor perfectly banger after banger after banger, and perfectly timed our final song with the music cut off time which made our venue very happy. She also played us out with a little personalised song that everybody loved! We had so many compliments on the music from our guests!! All of her equipment was excellent and set the vibe perfectly, she clearly knows her equipment very well because it took her no time to set up or pack away at the end of the night. Fantastic lights which didn’t do that really annoying thing of nearly blinding you as they spin around the room, a personal pet peeve of mine. Her speakers were excellent and perfectly balanced, not too bass-y and set to the perfect volume to sing your lungs out but not go to bed with a ringing in your ears! She came and said hi as she arrived to check in with us, then said goodbye and had a bit of a chat with us as she packed away at the end of the night, but other than that, she didn’t speak to us whilst playing her set enabling us to fully enjoy ourselves and stay in the moment. Thank you for that! Kirsty is super on top of all of her paperwork, up to date with insurance and PAT tests, which will be required by any venue, so to have that presented to us without needing to ask helped to relieve some of the organisational stress surrounding the wedding. Every time we thought it was probably time to check in with her leading up to the wedding, she’d beat us to it, again, giving us one less thing to remember to do. Honestly, we can’t thank you enough for being so on top of everything and giving us no doubts that we could rely on you ♥ Our only regret is that we didn’t book Kirsty for her acoustic set during the day as she has an incredible voice we wish we’d gotten to hear more of! Thank you so much for all of your help throughout the process, for putting up with our requests and concerns and for making the evening of our wedding an absolutely cracking party!! We’ll be back in touch for our next event!!!"

"Thank you for the wonderful ceilidh on our wedding day. Everyone had such a fun time and loved the dancing, even those of us who had never done it before! You provided just what we wanted for the special day, despite being so close to Christmas and with terrible weather, and it was a highlight of the evening. All the best! "

"We booked Adele and Andy for our wedding at Hanbury Barns, where they sang whilst our guests arrived through to our drinks reception. They set the perfect tone for our wedding, not to mention their amazing talent! Our guests still talk about them now. Communication was prompt and there approach put us at ease. We would recommend Adele and Andy for any occasion!"
