Thank you for the photos and thank you so much you & your band did and absolutely amazing job!! Every single person without exception said how great you were!! A couple of my husbands old singing pals were there too and they've got over 70 years in business between them and even they said you were by far the best band they have ever seen! You really made our night and I'm positive the party would not have gone as well as it did without the great job you all did so many many heartfelt thanks

I just wanted to email you to say thank you thank you thank you so much for playing at our wedding and for being so brilliant. You and the band really were fantastic and I've never seen or heard a better dance floor at a wedding so thank you. You really did help make some absolutely wonderful memories for us as well as our friends and family. You and the band sounded fantastic and you were very good at getting people dancing and keeping them dancing. I did not want to leave the dance floor all evening. You were really all great and I can't thank you enough. It really was wonderful. You also got our first dance spot on. Communication was perfect too. I would thoroughly recommend booking
