"We booked Let's Get it On for a surprise party, and I have to say they are a completely fantastic band! From start to finish the communication with Louise was great, providing details when needed very quickly and always there to talk to about any questions. On the night the music was superb! They have incredible voices, and the music set was just right. Just an incredible band, that I can truly recommend to book! All guests had a brilliant night and we cant thank them enough for making such a special evening even more incredible for our family!"

Funk With Us
Full starFull starFull starFull starFull star

"We couldn’t have been happier with our wedding band. From the moment they set up, everything looked incredibly professional and polished. The lighting and overall setup looked fantastic and really added to the atmosphere. The booking process and organisation were seamless from start to finish, making everything incredibly easy and stress-free. The musicians themselves were exceptional. The vocals were amazing, the talent across the whole band was brilliant, and they were fantastic at reading the room and knowing exactly what to play and when. The roaming microphone and saxophone were such a great touch and went down incredibly well with our guests. Most importantly, they absolutely nailed the atmosphere. The dance floor was never empty once, everyone was up dancing from the moment they started until the end of the night. We had so many guests comment afterwards on how brilliant the band were. We honestly couldn’t recommend them highly enough. They were incredibly talented, professional and such a huge part of what made our wedding reception so much fun."
