Latest reviews of our Wedding Entertainers in Huddersfield
"What a brilliant evening! A huge thank you to ABBA ATTACK for bringing such an awesome evening of music to Osberton International Horse Trials 2024. From start to finish, the group were exceptionally professional to work with. They arrived with plenty of time to spare, set up their own kit and performed banger after banger live for our audience. Totally self sufficient and easy to work with. The level of showmanship/musical talent on display was also absolutely top drawer. Our audience absolutely loved the evening and we will 100% refer/book again. Thank you again and wishing you a brilliant end to 2024."
Rich hired ABBA ATTACK for a Private event (available in Huddersfield)
"Wow, what can I say… Guacamaya were absolutely incredible!!! We absolutely loved every part of working with this band! Jose was not only amazingly professional but willing to go the extra mile to learn some songs we really wanted to be included. My Nigerian husband loves Afrobeats particularly Fela Kuti and my gosh they delivered and then some. Singing some songs in Yoruba and Igbo… unreal. They also incorporated some Caribbean tunes to represent my heritage, our families were thrilled! Seeing our parents and elders up dancing and living in the moment was the best! All the band members were lovely and made a point of coming to introduce themselves and then some were able to stay on for food and enjoy some of our DJ set. I can honestly say the band was the second highlight to our day, getting married comes first of course lol! Can’t wait to arrange another event just so I can book them again!! "

"Wow what can I say. Nothing will be enough to how amazing Angel Eyez was. Angel Eyez was a surprise to our wedding quest. They started the party off. Every was dancing and those that could not dance was singing along. They made my son and son-in-law wedding day a day to remember. They were so kind and friendly and spent time afterwards having photos and chatting. I can not recommend Angel Eyez enough. Just amazing. "
