We had the pleasure of having Caliban's dream playing for the afternoon at our viking wedding. We cant thank them enough for the PERFECT performance!!!! Thanks to them, the afternoon was even more amazing that what we imagined it to be! Their music took us back in time and it truly felt like a dream. Every single guest was amazed by them and felt like they were in a film set!! They are extremely talented, they were very flexible and they adapted perfectly to our needs and the weather. Thank you thank you thank you!!! Adam & Noe

Caliban's Dream made our wedding at the Barbican Conservatory extra special. Our guests couldn't stop talking about how much they enjoyed the music and even the location staff were paying compliments!

Thanks for having us play at your wedding. Nice to meet you.

Superb, I absolutely love your music

We just wanted to say thank you for the special magic you brought to our wedding. The procession into the church was brilliant, many of the congregation commented on the enchanted atmosphere you created even the vicar remarked that it was one of the most beautiful and individual weddings he had been involved in. We would like to thank you for your wonderful and evocative playing, and for your advice and patience as we made our plans.
