Frankly Jazz's Reviews

5 out of 5

It’s difficult to put into words the impact Frankly Jazz had on the day of our wedding. Professional, smart and true masters of their respective instruments - they rolled with the flow of the audience and had literally everyone dancing from kids to the oldies. It’s hard to know how a band will sound or work in the room you have when booking a wedding, but I assure you Frankly Jazz will negate any worries and exceed all expectations. Each giving the others space to roll with a solo when they feel like it made for some truly magical moments. Thank you Frankly Jazz - I hope we cross paths again.

Frankly Jazz we’re absolutely brilliant at our wedding celebration party. Their music was just right, and so many of our guests commented on how good they were. They were such fun and a pleasure to listen and dance to. They sorted themselves out (setting up) with all the plugs and sockets, so we just left them to it. We shall recommend Frankly Jazz to everyone.

Frankly jazz made our wedding reception absolutely spectacular. Many of our wedding attendees were professional musicians all of whom were blown away by their performance. Screaming deal for such professionalism. Can’t recommend enough. Stop looking Just book them. -Emily and Brandon

Hi Marcus! Thanks so much for last night, we had an amazing time and all the guests said how great you were! You really got the dance floor moving, and we can’t thank you enough for the beautiful (and then lively!) arrangement of ‘Bring Me Sunshine’ for our first dance. Absolutely perfect night! Eleanor and Matthew
