Mathew hired JazzLife for a Birthday party (available in Edinburgh)
"We booked Marianne and her band for our wedding (double bass, guitar, saxophone and Marianne’s vocals) and we couldn’t have been happier with the outcome. Marianne was communicative and professional, as well as just a pleasure to talk to. There was zero stress with the band, we felt we were in safe hands. And the actual musicianship was incredible. They brought such a special touch to our day. People were up dancing and when they weren’t they were still relaxing, listening to the gorgeous music being played. We had a small wedding with quite a few older people and pregnant women, so the balance the band struck between jazzy ambience and actual dance numbers was perfect for us. Couldn’t recommend highly enough! "
