Howard and myself would like to say a huge thank you to Capital Party for playing at our wedding on Sunday. We had plenty of people saying to us during the night how good the band was, and your cover of ‘How Long Will I Love You’ for our first dance was just amazing! You really can’t beat a live version! Thank you so so much for learning this for us, we will never forget it. Thank you again, Howard and Vanessa

Capital Party were incredible! They really did make our night. They interacted with our guests and got everyone up dancing. We have had such great feedback from all of our guests to say how good they were. We’re now hoping to go to one of their public shows so we can see them again!
