"Mimi and her band were absolutely fantastic. They were the perfect addition to our intimate corporate event, creating a beautiful atmosphere that our guests loved. Professional and a joy to work with from start to finish. We would happily book Mimi again and highly recommend her."

Y. hired Mimi Rose Band for a Corporate event (available in Southend-on-Sea)

Verified Review, 11 March 2026

"MJ & The Fellas played at our wedding (December 2025), and we were beyond impressed! Martin was sure to have multiple calls with us in the run-up to check in on what we wanted and the logistics, and was so attentive on the evening too. We opted for the five piece band - and if you do the same, you won't regret it! Martin and the band sounded absolutely fantastic. It was so special to dance along to, and all the guests commented on how magical and classy it made our reception feel, before we transitioned to more "DJ tunes" later. MJ & The Fellas couldn't have been a better choice! Thank you so much! "
