Review Centre: French Music Bands

"Fuego were simply the best and we couldn't have imagined any other musicians we'd rather had danced to at the end of our special day. They were very helpful and keen to discuss the playlist before the big day as well as confirm timings for set up and their sets. They listened to our ideas and made excellent recommendations. On the day, they arrived promptly (despite the wedding being in a field in the middle of nowhere!) and set up quietly in the background. We were able to time it so we could use their mic for our speeches which was very handy. All the members of the band were very polite and friendly. The music they produced was just fantastic and we had so many amazing comments about them. They played a mixture of classics and contemporary songs which allowed everyone to get going onto the dance floor in no time. Noelle’s voice is just wow and the Latin covers are sublime. If you want to party the night away with a fun, friendly band who have a unique Latin flare I'd definitely recommend hiring these guys. "

"The booking process was simple and fast. I found the staff very helpful and available. My bespoke request was no problem for them. The musicians were absolutely amazing! We honestly could not have been happier with Claudio and his mandolin player. They really were the stars of the show and everybody commented on how wonderful they were. They succeeded in creating the perfect atmosphere at my Italian themed wedding reception and even came into our wedding breakfast and played to the guest as they enjoyed their meals. It was such a nice touch that they went round the tables taking requests from the guests - their repertoire was extensive to say the least :) The really made our day all that more special - in fact it was my favourite part of the whole day and I mean that sincerely. I would highly recommend Claudio to anyone. Thanks so much Claudio and last minute musicians!"

"Amel R was truly outstanding from beginning to end. Leading up to the wedding, she was incredibly responsive and promptly addressed any inquiries I had. On the big day, her performance was nothing short of brilliant. I would definitely recommend her! "

"We didn't want a traditional wedding DJ as we are not into dancing and decided that having a more lounge and chill vibe would be perfect for us. Amel R was a brilliant fit for our wedding and all the guests loved her. A highlight was when she sang "18th Floor Balcony" by Blue October as our first dance/first sway which was such a beautiful moment. Amel R did an incredible job at reading the room and picking songs tailored for the audience, to the point that we ended up having a super memorable multi-generational sing-a-long. It was a lovely moment and one that we and our guests will always remember."

"Well what can we say!?……thank you from the bottom of our hearts for providing such a fantastic set. Despite the down pour (we’re saying it added to the day :) ) your playing and vocals were really special. You blew everyone away!"

"We have just had Gypsy Jazz/Swing Band play at our Sunday Social dance at the Hen and Chicken and they did a superb job! Good quality musicians providing an excellent range of swinging, high energy tunes. We had people who came just to listen but mainly it was a room full of dancers and they kept the floor full and buzzing. Their set was interesting, playful and spot on for what we wanted. We would definitely have them back! A note to organisers: Very easy comms. They turned up with plenty of time and were clean and efficient in set up and take down. What’s not to like?!"

"On behalf of myself, my husband and our guests can I just say how utterly unbelievable Claudio was at our wedding on the 11th July! Our guests couldn't stop commenting on how amazing he was and were so impressed when he could play anything they asked! Could you pass on our gratitude! He was simply amazing!"

"She was able to sing and play what she wanted, and read the room very well, asked if it was to load, which it wasn't. Very considerate act, would recommend and hopefully book again. Thank you. "
