5 out of 5

What a lovely bunch of people. My husband and I had an acoustic set after our ceremony and they got the party started in the night. Absolutely outstanding at what they do. My little boy who is autistic loved them. So much so he watches the promo video on YouTube quite regularly 😍 Can't thank them enough for their amazing performance. 10/10

There are not enough words to describe how AMAZING Laura and the band were! From the drinks reception to the very last song, everything was superb and made the day. They read the room and provided the exactly right entertainment throughout the night. Thank you so much / Diolch o galon Ceri & Llyr x

Wow! Laura and the whole band were incredible. They made our wedding day by playing fantastic songs that had everyone up dancing. So many of our guests commented on how brilliant they were and we cannot recommend them enough! Laura was so helpful and supportive from the very start. She was approachable and professional which made the process so smooth and easy. They were happy to learn our first dance song and even allowed a guest to sing with them which was super special for us. Thank you so much!

What is the most high profile gig you've performed?

We consider every single wedding an honour to play at, and with a diary full of extra special weddings, we couldn’t possibly choose.

Will the singer be the same as who I see in the videos?

We will endeavour to always provide the same singer as shown in the videos. If we are unable to do so, you will be informed at the time of booking and videos of other singers will be provided. In the unlikely event of last minute changes due to illness or extreme circumstances, you will be informed as soon as possible and a suitable dep will be provided.

Do you have different line-up options?

We have the option to add a male singer to the line up, as well as different percussion options for venues with restrictions.

What if my timings change after I've booked you?

We always try our best to be as flexible as possible, so as long as you keep us in the loop we are happy to move timings around!

Can you provide an iPod/DJ service before and between your sets?

Yes! This is a really popular addition to our services, which we provide for an additional £120

How much time do you need to set up?

We usually estimate around 1 hour to set up and do a thorough sound check.

Can I pick the songs you play from the set list?

Our set lists are crafted from countless performances and learning what works best to ensure guests dance and have an amazing time. However, we're definitely happy to chat through and make sure we find what works for your event

Is all of the equipment (e.g. PA & lighting) included in your quote?

Yes! All PA and lighting is included in the quote

Can you learn song requests before the event?

If there is a song you would like to hear that isn’t in our song list, we are happy to consider requests up to 8 weeks prior to the booking. Songs that aren’t already in our repertoire will require a small additional fee to cover rehearsal time
