The band were amazing at our wedding and all our guests absolutely loved the music! They fit our vibe perfectly and were even willing to learn a different genre of music for our traditional wedding dancing. The only issue was that there was a delay in setting up, so the rest of the evening ran behind (we're not sure if the fault for this lies with the band or the venue, so we don't hold it against them!). Overall we would 100% recommend them!

Thank you so much Susy for having us, we really enjoyed it! I'm sorry there was a delay, we arrived early to set up but were told by the event coordinator that due to a last-minute change in room layout we couldn't set up until after the mains had been cleared. This meant we lost half of our allotted set up time. I'm glad we were still able to perform our full two sets as planned!

We hired Might As Well Be Swing for our Wedding on 21st March and wow! They were all absolutely amazing! Our guests absolutely loved them and we've had so many compliments! All of the band were extremely professional. They arrived on time and the performances were outstanding! They all looked great too. Would highly recommend! I wish I could do it all over again x

Such an amazing band! Brilliant performers who totally made our night and our guests loved them! Super professional (dealt incredibly well with the slightly more intoxicated of our wedding guests!) and provided such an great atmosphere. Would very highly recommend!

Might As Well Be Swing played at our wedding this Summer and are incredibly talented musicians. Booking them was straight forward with excellent communication throughout. We were able to choose the set list to suit or taste and event. On the night they really impressed our guests and got people up and dancing. We highly recommend them!

What a brilliant band to have playing at our event. You played a great variety of tunes with festive songs thrown in to really lift the spirit. A lovely atmosphere created by such a professional and laid back ensemble. Was great for background music but plenty of opportunity to dance too. Thanks for the efficiency in organising, coming nice and early to set up and packing away without a bother at all. Couldn't have made it any easier for us. Thank you!
