Miss Holiday and the Swingtones' Reviews

5 out of 5

Miss Holiday and the Swingtones made our wedding an absolute hit and a musical dream! From the moment they stepped onto the stage to the time they finished 3 sets later, song after song, they kept us all delighted and coming back to the dancefloor. All our guests say it is the best band they ever saw at a wedding! We could not be more happy and grateful for the amazing classy celebration they helped us create. Thank you, and we LOVE you!!!

Dear Janja and Jose, thank you so much for your review. We thoroughly enjoyed playing at your wedding and we too had a great time ourselves. We were so well looked after on the day and your friends and family were all amazing which makes our job so much easier. We hope you had a wonderful honeymoon and thank you again for booking us for your wedding. p.s if anyone has any photos from the day of the band they are happy to share we are always grateful!
