    We booked Miami Royals for our wedding on the 5th of August and we were so, so glad we did. Very professional and extremely talented! Great mix of songs that had everyone up and dancing. They learnt our first song and it made that whole moment so much more special. Perfect. Thank you Miami Royals

  10. booked Raffaele Pagano for a concert

    Verified

    I am so glad I chose Raffaele. He fulfilled the brief perfectly, choosing music to suit the ambience and the ethos of the chapel where he performed for us. The highlight was his own composition which I found very moving and beautiful. Raffaele was very friendly and courteous and I would certainly recommend him to anyone requiring a violinist of a very high standard. Thank you, once more, Raffaele!

  12. booked St Louis Express for a wedding

    Verified

    St Louis Express played in the evening at our wedding this weekend. They arrived well ahead of time and were very flexible with timing their set up around our day. When it came to their set, they started with our first dance song, Can’t Help Falling in Love by Elvis (which they had learned specially by request). Their arrangement of this song was fantastic, and we loved the saxophone they had added to the piece in particular. The rest of their set was a mix of songs which were perfect for those dancing, and enjoyable for those who just wanted to listen and watch. The whole set was a perfect ending to our day, and the band were very friendly and in spirit with the happy and fun day we had- both when playing and when we spoke to them throughout the evening. We cannot recommend booking St Louis Express enough for an event like a wedding- they were friendly and incredibly accommodating in working around our schedule, and the music was excellent, with amazing vocals and superb instrumentals throughout. Thank you so much for being part of our amazing day!

  13. booked The Hillbillies for a wedding

    Verified

    Group arrived on time and were patient while we continued our celebration as it had overrun a little. They were quick to set up and start the music, bride and groom enjoyed their chosen first dance. As a party we felt that some of the music choices, despite having forwarded an a few artists, was a little limited. The calling of the steps for the barn dancing was great fun in the second set and it may be worth considering starting it earlier for more interaction with guests. The bride and groom enjoyed the evening. Many thanks

    Absolutely wonderful. Such a talented and lovely duo. All communications with Rachel were excellent, very professional yet very personal, making every effort to tailor the performance to our preferences whilst offering suggestions to tactfully aid the less musically well-versed. I could have listened to their music all day, simply wonderful. Would highly recommend.
