Thames Band 's Reviews

5 out of 5

Lara and Paul and the rest of the band were AMAZING at our wedding! One of the best decisions we made for our wedding day and our favourite supplier - they brought so much fun and energy, amazing performances, and got everyone on the dance floor! They looked incredible too - such great outfits which made them look very professional. We had SO many compliments from guests about how great they were and people didn't stop dancing. I particularly loved how we could choose the song list on their portal so their performance was tailored to us. They were so responsive and friendly by emails and offered calls to discuss plans which made organisation so easy and they planned meticulously for the day so I never had anything to worry about. They did extra songs outside their repertoire for our first and last dances which was amazing and made it so personal. They even accommodated us doing our own performance and provided extra help in arranging it! DJ Ben was also so great. Overall, they went above and beyond to make it an incredible and fun evening with so much dancing which is exactly what we wanted! I would recommend 110%. Thank you Lara and Paul!!

What an amazing band, they were brilliant from our very first conversation right through to the end of our summer party. They are so professional, friendly and down right fantastic musicians. Our guests were raving about them. We can’t recommend them highly enough, brilliant band. Thanks so much to Lara & Paul and the rest of the band, with much affection, Karen & Brendan x

Omg where do I even start? This guys are out of this world! We booked them for our wedding last Saturday and from the moment we had the first contact with them, they went above and beyond to make sure we were happy with our playlist and everything! They absolutely smashed it on the day, they had everyone up and dancing the whole night and we got sooo many compliments from our guests on how amazing they were! If you are thinking to book them for your event, just go for it, I promise you won’t regret! A massive thank you for the entire band, you’ve all been absolute legends & you deserve a 1000 stars not just 5!

Lara, Paul and their band were INCREDIBLE! They were the best wedding or event band I've ever come across and we are so glad that we chose them for our wedding. They kept the dancefloor popping all night long and there were always at least 30 people dancing at any given moment. Both Lara and Paul are amazing singers and musicians and they know how to keep a party going strong!

Fantastic show booked for our work Christmas party, they truly made the evening for us. Incredibly smooth booking process and catered the set perfectly to our mix of ages. They sound great and the singing was brilliant. Highly recommend for any event!
