Review Centre: Bands & Ensembles

"I would just like to say a massive thank you, for playing at our wedding 22/7/16. We wanted something a little bit different for our wedding, for our guests to enjoy whilst relaxing at our venue. After finding North West String Quartet on Last Minute Musicians and listening to their fantastic and professional recordings on their website, I got the thumbs up from my very musical brother, and booked them. I was utterly thrilled with their professional service and attention to detail with regards to choosing songs for before, during and after the ceremony. Their repertoire is extensive and current whilst also including some fantastic classical options. There was also the option to select a piece of music that wasn't on the repertoire list. This came at a very small additional cost but was one of the best decisions we made for the day. We had an acoustic version of "Time After Time" put together for the Bridal Party entrance and it was truly stunning. All of our guests commented on how beautifully the music had been arranged. If you ever record this piece please let us know so we can purchase a copy. Following the ceremony you kept our guests entertained and helped to contribute to a fantastic atmosphere. I can't thank you enough. Please do not have any hesitations in booking this fabulous String Quartet, they are truly talented young musicians."

"We hired Voodoo to play at our wedding and they were amazing! All of our guests were happy and I don't remember a time when there wasn't people dancing on the dance floor. Great music, well played and very entertaining. Excellent band! "

"Love For Sale were the perfect accompaniment to our celebratory event and made hiring a band one of the easiest and most pleasant experiences. Conversation was smooth, with nothing too much trouble and they were more than happy to work around our schedule. They were able to read the room well, and played accordingly. We received a great deal of positive feedback about the music, and the band were a hit with all our guests and they really did elevate our evening to the next level. Their flexibility, positive attitude and willingness to please make them suited to any occasion and I wouldn’t hesitate to book them again. In fact, I rather look forward to next year’s event in which I fully intend to have them back – if they’re free! "

"Dorian came and played sax at our recent wedding. We booked him go play 3 different sets throughout the evening and he played alongside our DJ and got the crowd fired up with his expert accompaniment of so many dance classics. He came dressed to impress and looked like he was enjoying every minute and everyone was loving his work. Dorian was a great addition to our wedding and we along with all of our guests and would highly recommended! "

"absolutely brilliant, I don’t think I've ever seen such a professional artist play at a wedding - it was certainly more like a gig! and we were lucky enough to have a solo acoustic performance from Dan of a beautiful love song! It was magical!"

"Alive and Kicking were just perfect for our event the other night. They were professional, accomplished and most of all a lot of fun. They were happy to take requests for their set list beforehand and even on the night! We were so happy that they’d learned a medley just for our event! They partook in the theme which added to the ambience of the event and I could not recommend them enough for all occasions in the future. "

"Thank you, thank you, thank you! We cannot stop talking about the weekend. The text messages, guest book feedback and facebook posts were incredible and keep coming! We also had 58 guests staying over and all of them were very very complimentary and raved about so many different aspects of the wedding. The one thing everyone kept asking was: where did you find that band? People raved about the ceremony song and said it made them cry, all said the Quartet were great and that the pianist doing dinner really helped set the mood. Beyond that, the five different sets all received amazing reviews. Particular highlights were the MJ Medley, the Jewish music (very well done), the end medley people said was so so different, plus the fantastic Buddha Bar set and rock sets which people did not want to end! Amy and I remarked to each other that of every penny we spent, the best money was spent on MIB! We stand by that! The performance was incredible. We were so, so pleased. We had such amazing comments and having been to 15 or more weddings in recent years we know we had the best and others also said you were the best. We just had this hunch you were going to be amazing, and we were right"

"Dave was an great asset to our garden party for 42 people. His repertoire is extensive and he entertained us brilliantly - all our guests loved his music. Dave is a very good communicator who keeps in touch and is very pleasant and accommodating. I would have no hesitation in recommending him if you’re looking for a nice guy who does a great job."

"Hello Dermot, I'm sorry I didn't get a chance to say goodbye and thank you and Kevin personally. You were so encouraging and made this very nervous singer as comfortable as possible! You were both great and everyone loved the music. Thanks again and all the best "

"This couple make music that'll make you smile. I am so glad I found them because watching them perform and listening to Helly's beautiful voice, puts me in a lovely place. Book them, you will not be sorry."

"I contacted Rachel to sing at my mother’s memorial service. She responded quickly and was very professional yet friendly from the start. Rachel’s first solo “Pie Jesu” reduced me to tears as her voice was so beautiful. We will remember the service as a wonderful tribute to my mother mainly because of Rachel’s singing. I cannot recommend her highly enough and would love to find another occasion to use her again. Thank you so much Rachel. "
