Alex and Sophie were absolutely fantastic. They were so accommodating with our requirements, and they put together two sets which just suited the evening we were going for. Some chilled Jazz to start followed by a second set that got everyone up dancing! Our party was the first they had done since the lockdowns, but you couldn’t tell they hadn’t performed for a while. Fantastic, and would highly recommend!

Motif were super from start to finish. From the ease of the initial booking to their adaptability throughout the event, I really could not fault these guys. And as for their voices, wow, just wow! Our guests are still commenting on how good they were, and that coming from a bunch of musicians is high praise indeed! Book them, you will not be disappointed
