The band was absolutely fantastic, I watched quite a lot of their videos before booking & they sound even better live. Jim & the rest of the band were really friendly & created a great party vibe for our guests. Everyone is still talking about them, weeks after the wedding. Would love to see them play again, would definitely recommend!

The Marquees were more than what we could’ve asked for! They had everybody at the wedding up on the dance floor for the whole time they were performing and got us involved in some performances too! We actually saw them at a wedding over a year ago and they remembered us from this too! The fact that they were able to learn and perform our first dance song was the cherry on top!
