"Serena and her band proved what an absolutely fantastic party you can enjoy with your friends on your special day. The 3 band members were not only professional but lovely people too. We had such a hoot and even the people who couldn’t join in with the dancing just watched the rest of us making complete fools of ourselves. If you are dithering about booking this band, just do it you will not be disappointed "
