Halfway to New York's Reviews

5 out of 5

We had a brilliant experience with this band from start to finish. Communication was great and proactive. They advised us really well about music choices and how to go about things and then did everything exactly as we'd asked them to. Everything went really smoothly on the night. Most importantly they played and sang brilliantly, played great music between their sets for us, and our guests all had a fabulous time on the dance floor. It was such a fun way to begin our married life. We can't recommend them highly enough!

Amazing! I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better band for our wedding at Hengrave Hall! The set list was fantastic, but also the performances by all the band members was top quality - especially Sam as lead singer, Cat as female lead vocal and the saxophone player (didn’t catch his name!). So many people at our wedding complimented us after and said how they were the best wedding band they’d ever seen! Special thanks to Sam for also letting me have a little sing on two songs - made my day even more special! And my wife loved it even more! Would highly recommend Halfway to New York!

Thank you so much to all the band. You absolutely made our party, we have had so many lovely comments and lots of people wanting to know how we found you. Thank you also for your beautiful rendition of Izzy's song, which we really appreciated. We will definitely book you for our next party. Terrific on every level and a joy to work with. xxx

Halfway to New York were absolutely fantastic and made our Christmas Party - their song selections were spot on and kept the dance floor in full swing all night. They really are a brilliant band - true professionals and a pleasure to deal with. I would highly recommend.

Absolutely fantastic, highly highly recommend!! Sam and the band nailed it. Great acoustic set for the afternoon reception in the garden and then the full band for the evening. So many of our guests commented on how great the music was. Really professional, responded super quickly. They sorted all the set up on the day no fuss at all and rolled with the delays! I couldn't recommend more highly.
