"Matthew, thank you ever so much! Dr Jazz were exactly what we wanted but exceeded our expectations spectacularly! You've had so many compliments from guests."

"Well, where can I start! From initially stumbling upon Dr Jazz and realising that there was something rather special about their approach and unique sound, to the very first email and phone calls to discuss our plans for the day, all the way through to our Wedding day itself - Dr Jazz and company were brilliant. Helpful, friendly, and wonderfully entertaining, we could not have asked for anything more. The set itself was fantastic - we were blown away with how much of an impact they made, not only in terms of everyone feeling the urge to get up to dance (which was a slight worry for us before the day!), but also with their spot on interaction with the guests, and overall management and ownership of the evening. We really knew we'd made the right decision as soon as the first note was played – talk about creating a spectacle!! In terms of a front man Matthew is absolutely superb, and his supporting crew of brilliantly talented musicians helped make our day one to remember for both us and our guests. Thank you all so very much for everything. We know what it's like trying to find the 'right band', ourselves having trawled through many hundreds of sample tracks from other people and groups, and the worries that come with it regarding whether people will like it, whether it'll be well received etc. The best advice I can honestly give is that if you are sitting there reading this review, and you have enjoyed the sample tracks you've listened to, then please don't hesitate to book these guys. You will not regret it, and you and your guests will certainly never forget it. They were nothing short of marvellous. Once again we wanted to say thank you very much for everything - we really had a fantastic time, as did everyone else in attendance, and it is all thanks to you and your crew. You certainly made the evening, if not the day for us, and we are so pleased and lucky to have been able to book you to play for us. You were nothing short of brilliant, and we can't stop talking or thinking about how amazing you were (and nor can anyone else!) It was so lovely to meet you all in person. All the best for the future, and please rest assured that we'll be singing your praises for the years to come!"

"He is a professional and a total crowd pleaser! Ladies, gents and couples all took to the area in front of the stage for dance in the sunshine as Jay swooned the crowds with his 'swingtastic' vibes. Having such a huge fan base in the Kent area, he was the perfect choice for us and he was one of the acts that many of our attendees had bought their tickets to come and see. We wouldn't hesitate to book him again fin the future... and are already looking at the possibility of including jay in a more intimate dinner with entertainment event. Thanks Jay, we've got you under our skin!"

"Martha & Ben were amazing!! They really made our day special. They played a set of background music during our wedding breakfast, with perfect song choices, and very professional service. We couldn't recommend more highly. Thank you, Martha and Ben!"

"Sonia played to a packed and appreciative house at St Ives Jazz Club with two thoughtfully considered and slickly performed sets of songbird standards, mingled with the occasional more modern classic from the likes of Randy Crawford and even Sting. The band accompany Sonia with a suitably understated groove, giving this blossoming vocalist plenty of space, but impress when it’s called for with some fine solo and ensemble instrumental play – all very solid musicians, making this band an impressive and satisfying unit!"

"We can not thank Tom enough for the music he provided for our wedding, he had everyone on the dance floor from young to old with all eras of music. He provided us with a mash-up of songs for our first dance and made it really special to us. He even got the groom on the dance floor more than once, which is unheard of. We would recommend Tom to everyone who needs a singer or someone to provide music for an event."

"Rose was wonderful with the “oldies” - although we had 6 songs for them to join in with a sing- a- long they joined in with everything!! She encouraged people to join in and to get up and dance, my 90 year old mum was up dancing with her friends. It was absolutely wonderful and they haven’t stopped talking about it - a wonderful time was had by all. One of the highlights was a lady,who doesn’t interact much and is wheelchair bound, as soon as Rose started singing she was tapping her hands and was swaying in time to the music - an emotional moment. My mother was unaware that we had booked Rose who managed to set up very discretely, she was very friendly and accommodating. The guests were thrilled with her choice of songs and commented on her lovely voice. She was the highlight of the 90th party celebrations - Would recommend her 100%."

"I would like to thank you so much for the wonderful performance Dr Jazz did for my parents 60th diamond wedding anniversary. They were enjoyed by all at the venue and my parents' event was made more special with them there. Thank you once again. From a grateful daughter."

"Alice, you and John were absolutely fantastic at our Christmas lunch. To quote from our members: absolutely fabulous; wonderful carols with Alice; where did you find her, book her for next year; one of the best ever. I can’t say anymore – one of the best decisions we have made was having you at the NAT Christmas festivities."
