"A superlatively professional quartet that raised my daughter's wedding reception from a village hall hop to a truly classy occasion. Their musicianship is astounding. Booking this quartet was a hassle-free experience and Natalya was very cooperative in amending her playlist to suit our wishes. I've nothing but praise for this extremely talented quartet. They exceeded expectations in every respect. Highly recommended."

"We want to say how wonderful your email below is, even before we get to the recording. We put a lot of original thinking into the ceremony and had a clear idea of what we wanted to do, including input in three different languages, all of which we managed to carry off thanks to Sonore’s willingness to take on an original piece (which was beautifully played) and to lead a Maori love song. For this reason we are so happy to hear you say that the ceremony will live long in the memory as this means an awful lot to us! We had also worried later in the day that the venue had done you a disservice by leading people into the Engine house and away from your performance, and while that was taking place Elly and I were all around the venue taking photographs. We heard you playing Winter Flowers and worried that there was no-one around at this point to hear it. To know that in fact you will have been preparing this recording therefore gives us a huge boost, not to mention that the recording is wonderful. Thank you so much I and we have sent this on to Lucy, who is rightly so happy with this. Your email and the recording lifted our spirits on this point so much - we were left with no words! And so it just remains to thank you again for your engagement and professionalism at the wedding. We have been very lucky to find you. We wish you all the very best and hope you will be involved in similar events for others in the future. We had never expected that we would benefit from working with a group as dedicated as yours, and for that, we were very lucky."

"We couldn't have been more pleased that we picked The Romantics as our wedding band. Aside from being really talented musicians and incredibly professional in the lead up to the wedding, they were absolutely phenomenal on the day and really got everyone involved. The fact that they moved around was also amazing, as it worked well for a summer's evening when people wanted to be outdoors, as they also got to dance and sing along outside without missing out. I couldn't recommend them enough to anyone looking for a band for an event and so many of our guests are still saying what a great choice they were. We absolutely loved you guys! "

"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."

"I booked JP Duo for a surprise proposal and they did above and beyond my expectation! Phil was a great singer/acoustic player, handled the crowd very well and was great at communicating before the event. I would recommend JP Duo to anyone for any events!"

"Standing in as last minute replacements to fill an unplanned gap, David and Allan did a superb job covering the session. With minimal preparation the tuneful singer/keyboard duo delivered a medley of elegant classics from the world of pop, soul, folk and gospel. Engagement and connection with their audience brought a real sense of warmth and intimacy to the event. All in all a simple set, expertly delivered with lots of popular songs to hum, tap and dance along to. Very much enjoyed."

"Alice was professional to work with and went above and beyond by filling in an extra 15 minutes of singing that she wasn’t expecting, due to the bride being late and for this we are so very grateful! We have had endless comments from our guests about how fantastic Alice was and her performance of Ave Maria and Pie Jesu was simply breathtaking!"

"Laura is the most wonderful person and it was a pleasure having her there on our wedding day! Her communication, professionalism and friendliness in the lead up to the day were excellent so I knew she was going to be great, and on the day she didn’t disappoint. Firstly, we could tell she had really put some effort into her outfit to match our dress code and the venue. This was a nice touch and very much appreciated. She was very friendly and we and our guests loved her piano playing. She listened to our requests of which songs to play and played them beautifully. Thank you Laura!"
