Smash Hits of the 80s' Reviews

5 out of 5

We booked this incredible 80s band for our wedding reception and they absolutely made the night! Everyone commented on how good they were - they looked the part, sounded epic, and had the dance floor packed from start to finish. A real talking point for our guests! Thank you for bringing such amazing energy and making our evening unforgettable.

Just wanted to say that the 'Smash Hits' were absolutely fantastic and all the guests have raved about them, we couldn't have made a better choice and would recommend them to anyone, they really made our night. When we have another party we would love to have the group back again (they are the best) they had the dance floor heaving with guests, we can't thank you all enough for the quality and professionalism given on our special day. The guests have said its the best wedding they have ever been to, so to us that speaks volumes and having 'Smash Hits' made the night.
