Neon Blue's Reviews

5 out of 5

Neon Blue were fantastic. Super professional, easy to work with and just brought a real sense of class to their work. Were set up swiftly, great at communication before the wedding. Our venue told us quite late that there were sound restrictions and John found the right lineup to work within the limits. Highly recommend.

Neon Blue played at the drinks reception at our wedding. They were absolutely brilliant and hugely enjoyed by us and guests. John was a pleasure to liaise with and went above and beyond to make sure all went well. Thank you!

I booked Neon Blue for my 50th Birthday party in Dec. The musicians were fantastic and were really accommodating as we asked them to move position after their first set. They played a great mix of songs and really added to the nights entertainment. I would highly recommend them for any function. Thanks for making my Birthday really special

Great sound, service and super friendly to boot. The guys played at the American Museum & Gardens Saturday Night Jazz evenings and received rave reviews from everyone. Don't hesitate book them today!
