We had the joy of the Jazz Spivs at our wedding yesterday and they managed to turn an amazing day into a night not to be forgotten! The guests responded really well to the band and even started singing together! The whole vibe was just perfect which is kinda amazing because the families had not met before. The band were so kind to change the location to the garden and courtyard due to amazing weather and everyone was really enjoying themself. The music was perfect for us and combined with the happy professional musicians we cannot recommend them enough! Thanks so much guys!

This was the fourth year of hosting our family summer garden party and have had bands on previous years so thought we knew what to expect but these guys were awesome, looked the part, sounded the part and from young to old everyone loved their sounds. Would love to use them again and once again thank you Jazz Spivs for helping make our party a huge success
