Cecilia Southwood9 Jun 2025

James gave a great fun performance as George Michael and then singing 80s songs for his 2nd set. Everyone enjoyed themselves. Got everyone on the dance floor and I’ve had lots of messages saying how much people enjoyed the evening. We loved him!

Christine Welsh24 Jul 2023

We booked Betsy to attend our Mum's 90th birthday celebrations. She provided an excellent service, the song choices were perfect for the event and she sang beautifully. Many of the guests commented on how wonderful Betsy was, we would most definitely recommend her. Thank you so much Betsy.

Leigh Murphy10 Jul 2022

Highly recommend this duo. Played our wedding reception whilst we ate and before the evening guests arrived. Went down brilliantly.

Gill Walters17 Aug 2022

Great karaoke disco for my birthday do, Tony very helpful in sorting photographic display prior to the event. Good variety of music and created a happy party atmosphere. Flexible and responsive re customer care, easy to contact and delivered service exactly as promised.

Mr Simon Bone12 Aug 2021

Cool Groove were excellent. The music was good and helped provide exactly the right atmosphere for what was an all round excellent evening. They are very talented, flexible and nothing was too much trouble for them. I found them to be very friendly and professional. I would highly recommend them. Thank you Monika to you and to your band.

Arianne Williamson28 Oct 2019

Amazing! Couldn't have asked for better! Played wonderfully for my ceremony, and throughout the drinks reception, all of my friends and family complemented how good they both were. Gareth kept in touch, and knew more about timings than I did, which made the whole thing easier to plan! If I was going to do it all again, I'd pick them over and over again! Not to mention the price is exceptional for the quality of what you get!

We delivered next level parties for exceptional companies

We also did more than 40,000 birthday parties. Probably, including your neighbour’s recent big bash.
