Latest reviews of our Wedding Soul & Motown Bands in Kingston upon Thames
"We just wanted to send over our massive thanks to Andrae and the whole band - without them the day wouldn't have been as special and fun as it was! They exceeded everyone's expectations of what would be possible in a rainy garden and we will be forever grateful to them for showing everyone such an amazing time. It was really important to us that the music lead the evening, and Andrae's voice and the musicians sounded incredible and had everyone up and letting loose! We cannot recommend them enough "

"I honestly cant speak highly enough of Kane and The KMB, and Encore in general. From the first moment I reached out to the band, Kane was impressively quick and detailed with his responses, which was reassuring. Then came the performance... Music plays a massive part in mine and my friends lives so finding a band that fit the bill for our wedding was very important. The KMB were simply amazing and every time I speak to anyone about the wedding, they bring up the band. Kane's voice is as good as it comes across on the videos, which is very rarely the case. He also worked the crowd incredibly well and managed to keep the dancefloor full all night. I cannot recommend them highly enough and am aware that ive used a lot of superlatives in this review...none of which come close to doing g them justice! Book them and I promise you wont be disappointed"
