"Brilliant brilliant brilliant :) Booking a band was one of the biggest decisions for us so it was important to have one that played a variety of styles to please all our guests and that's just what we got. Thank you for learning our first dance also, we were so nervous but having the band play it live made us feel less exposed haha. 10/10!"

"What can we say! Ashfield had our friends and family on the dance floor all night and we couldn't be more thankful! Such a lovely group as well, nothing was too much trouble for them on the evening. Thank you again and hope we see you at one of our friends' weddings in the future."
