Our wedding was the most perfect day and these guys made it more perfect than I could have imagined .Their energy is infectious and every guest commented on how brilliant they were. The attention to detail was second to none from singing me down the isle. Live music during drinks reception and the. Full DJ and live music throughout the evening. This will certainly be a day that will be remembered. Thank you so much

We waited a few days to write this review on account of all of the clearing up we’ve done since our Wedding party. This is relevant because it means I am not writing this on a high - it’s objectively true... They have been literally phenomenal from day ONE of enquiry. Their communication has been faster than anyone I think we’ve ever worked with. They put solicitors, practitioners, contractors and even accountants to shame in terms of their promptness and professionalism. I cannot stress this enough. We were left with no questions, their user friendly communication and questionnaires answered questions we didn’t even realise we had yet. Their communication between booking to event date was regular and friendly. This took any stress we could have had in planning the music away - meaning we could concentrate on everything else to plan. On planning: our wedding party itself was amazing. The band - namely; Ian - coordinated everything for us! Cutting of the cake / first dance / blessing - everything. It was like having a showbiz, extremely talented musician also acting as an on the night events planner! The show set up was WAY above what we expected. The lights turned our hall into a legitimate show - and it seemed like they managed to do this without any interruption all the while playing some great music to keep our guests entertained. Oh my goodness - they were PHENOMENAL on stage. They had the people dancing ALL evening. I don’t think I’ve seen 3 encores at a wedding 😂 - but it was at least 3 plus DJ sets that only inspired more dancing and singing! The only regret is that we don’t have another event lined up that we can invite them to play. If anyone is looking for an extremely good duo, excellent performance, fantastic taste in music, the friendliest of people and next level professionalism - these are your team. Thank you for putting the magic into our special day. Honestly couldn’t have asked or hoped for more. With thanks and love, Louis and Stacey Chavannes
