From the beginning of our contact with The Five Dollar Shakes, we were so impressed. We booked the band for our wedding in November 2019 via Encore. Ben, who responded to our request for a 'rock & roll band', was quick to respond to all our emails & arranged everything for the day perfectly. The guys arrived promptly & set everything up without any trouble. Their sets were amazing & had the dance floor filled for hours. They are obviously very experienced performers at events such as this, they knew how to entertain a large group of people. They kindly learnt a song for us to add to the set as well. Thanks so much Five Dollar Shakes - you were amazing! We wouldn't hesitate to recommend The Five Dollar Shakes to anyone.

Our wedding took place in Faversham, Kent. The band came very highly recommended to us as a great venue band and at no point did they disappoint. The band played all music to a very high standard and catered to everyone’s taste with a wide variety of songs spanning many decades. They were very professional in everything they did from start to finish this added to how smooth our special day went. I would 100% book this band again for any occasion not just a wedding. Thanks to you all for finishing a special day on a high.

The Five Dollar Shakes were the perfect addition to our party. They were professional, polite and most importantly a great live band - we had countless positive comments from guests saying how much they had enjoyed the music. I would definitely recommend them very highly.
