Review Centre: Bands & Ensembles

"Just a quick note to thank you to you and the band for all your work towards Saturday evening at Chawton Ball. You were prompt and flexible, particularly when our start timings shifted a bit! As I mentioned, there was quite a bit at stake and usual high expectations from the band – and you definitely pulled it off: the dance floor was fit to burst and everyone begged for more! Thanks for creating a playlist for us, too and patiently dealing with the quirks of working with volunteers. Overall the evening was a success (and that’s a huge relief!)."

"We recently hosted a Wild West themed party. Sounds With Us helped us find just the right band, with a caller to add to the fun of the theme with line dancing and barn dancing, as well as sourcing a rodeo bull to complete the theme and the entertainment. From start to end it was a very easy process and it was wonderful to have Sounds With Us to call up when we had concerns even on the evening of the event itself. I would definitely use them again for future parties."

"We booked the band for our wedding reception back in October. We are both huge Irish music fans and have had several memorable trips to Ireland so it was especially important to us to have a live Irish band on our big day. We spend a fair amount of time looking for the “perfect Irish band” and were over the moon to have found the Extonions. From the initial enquiry Mac was both friendly and very professional. He instantly made us feel like we had made the right decision and was more than happy to include any special song requests we had. He then made sure they included on the night and that everyone had a great time. All the band members were lovely and friendly chatting to our guests and fitted in perfectly with our relaxed party atmosphere. Many of our guests have commented on how great they were and we would not hesitate in booking them again in the future or recommending them to others. Thanks so much for making our wedding day so memorable."

"Hi Rachel, just wanted to say a huge thank you for making our wedding amazing! All our guests commented on how beautiful the duo sounded, you helped make our day elegant, and special. We loved the eclectic mix of modern and classical, and we had your CD playing throughout our wedding breakfast also, couldn't recommend you highly enough. "

"From our very first emails to the sweaty (from all of us) hugs at the end of our night, Oscar and Barney were nothing short of wonderful. Not only are their musical talents just completely and ridiculously incredible, they were always so kind and encouraging - with nothing too much trouble and keen to take on whatever request we made! Playing as a duo immediately after our wedding ceremony and with their band as we danced into the night, Barney and Oscar have given us the gift of memories to treasure soundtracked by their amazing music. We cannot thank them, or recommend them highly enough. ♥️🍀"

"We hired The Fireflies for our wedding last Wednesday, and they were absolutely phenomenal! Ian kept in touch from point of enquiry, all the way through until the wedding morning. He took the time to learn about our preferences and what we wanted for the day and it was all executed so seamlessly. The whole band were so friendly and just brought the perfect vibe to the day! Our guests had so much fun and we had so many compliments on our fantastic entertainment! We didn't even know set up was happening during our meal, and the lights provided by the band were amazing. Our first dance was performed live, which was just perfect and such a highlight of our day. We honestly cannot recommend enough!! Thank you SO much for such an incredible night and service "
