"Many thanks to you and the band for making my daughter's wedding very enjoyable for myself and all the guests. Everyone told us that it was the best wedding they had been to in a long time. Everything went to plan and it made it a day to remember and the band was perfect it was something that we wanted because we didn't want loud disco music and you did us proud! We will be passing your name on to any family or friends who may need a band in the future. Once again many thanks for the service you provided not just on the day but before the day as well."

"Hi there, You guys played at our wedding on 18th August this year. We've been super slow in sending out our thank yous, apologies for that. I didn't get the chance to have a chat on the day - it went so, so quickly. You guys really made it. We had so many comments on how great you all were. And can't thank you enough for getting our requests in!"

"Doesn't time fly by! Two weeks today since we got married and you came along to keep us entertained. It was an amazing day and you and your band contributed immensely. From the moment I contacted you I knew we had made the right choice. Your communication and understanding was excellent. Our 1930s theme fit right in with the venue and your style of music. We received lots of comments from our guests about how lovely it was to sit on the lawn drinking Pimms listening to you play whilst we were off having photos taken. It was so relaxing and elegant. Like being on a film set, one guest said. I think what made it for me was when all the guests had gone inside to sit down for the meal and we were passing some hotel guests sitting on the terrace enjoying the sun. As I walked passed one gentleman starting clapping and commented how beautiful I looked and thanked me for providing such wonderful music that he had enjoyed listening to; a real unexpected pleasure. In fact the venue told me the following day that quite a few hotel guests had commented on the great music. The evening was astounding. In the DJ sets you provided between Dr Jazz's live sessions you managed to fit in all our guests' special songs. This made it a lot more personal. And thank you so much for rearranging one of your songs to fit in with the routine we had learned for our first dance. This just shows how versatile and amenable you are. We would like to thank you for coming and making our wedding day most enjoyable, not just for us but for our guests. I have already been recommending you and will continue to do so."

"We experienced the wonderful soothing Jazz tones of Sonia and her band at Penlee Park Open Air Theatre. Sonia and the team played in this unique setting and entertained us with an evening of Gin and Jazz. The highly skilled musicians, with their double bass, keys, flute and saxophone accompanied the amazing vocals to many a well loved tune. We would highly recommend going along to one of their future gigs, or booking them for your own gig!"

"Sara played with her gypsy jazz quintet at our award ceremony & the band was perfect! From playing background during the reception creating a wonderful atmosphere, to supplying the music between awards, choosing the perfect repertoire & level of interaction. Very professional & lovely to work with. "

"The band performed at the finishing area of the Big Fun Walk, North London Hospice’s biggest event, and we would definitely book them again. They created a celebratory atmosphere playing uplifting and energetic tunes which everybody loved. Phil was incredibly helpful, professional and easy to work with which makes all the difference when managing a large event. All of the musicians played with great skill, energy and sensitivity to the occasion and location. Our walkers, staff and even tourists who happened to be passing by, were tapping their feet and smiling in the bank holiday sunshine during their sets. We look forward to hopefully working with them again in the future."

"Coco 'n' The Fellas were exceptional, great to work with, a delight to listen to, and professional in their approach. We booked Coco 'n' The Fellas to be our live music at a special lunch time meal. They tailored their delivery to match our event perfectly, providing a delightful musical accompaniment to our meal that was very well received. Musically they were excellent, with an uplifting approach that set the tone for the event. We will definitely be using them again, but hopefully as our main feature. Highly recommended."
