Thanks so much for all the great entertainment you provided throughout our wedding day. We had a fantastic day and you guys were a big part of it. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend you to anybody looking for a band for their wedding or party! The music you played was exactly the type of vibe we wanted, and you kept everybody dancing all night. Lots of our guests have since said how good your performance was, and especially the performance for our first dance.

We booked the band for our wedding in Sheffield. I liaised with them prior to the even and they were so kind and helpful, nothing was ever too much trouble. Due to the nature of our venue, we had arranged for an early set up. This was done seamlessly and without any issue. Once the evening began, the band kept everyone on the dancefloor all night long! They played 2 great sets and sounded fantastic! Everyone said how much they enjoyed the evening; it was so much fun. She also played an amazing ibiza sax set after the band! Such a talent. It was thoroughly enjoyed by everyone. Despite it being an extremely hot and muggy day, the band remained professional and happy throughout the day! We can't thank them all enough and recommend them 100%!!' Thank-you all soooo much! We wish we could do it all again. It was a such a joyous evening!
