Booked for Wedding

Can’t recommend these guys enough! Absolutely brilliant - checked in well before our wedding to confirm music tastes, confirm times etc. There’s so much to do when planning a wedding and entertainment is so integral to everyone’s enjoyment: it really felt like everything was in hand and it was such a weight off our minds knowing they had everything in hand and were making sure the music catered to our tastes. In the night they arrived in plenty of time, ready to start bang on time. The music suited our group brilliantly - upbeat enough to get people dancing all night, but not so loud and in your face that people across the the room couldn’t sit and chat. Honestly can’t recommend these guys enough! Thank you so so much for helping to make our wedding so memorable/special!

Booked for Birthday party

The band were quick to contact me & kept me informed maintaining regular emails & calls. They played a varied playlist that was perfect for a party where there were very different age groups. An excellent band that I would happily use again.

Booked for Birthday party

I wanted to say a BIG thank you for making my party so special. You exceeded all my expectations. All my guests complimented me on your performance and really enjoyed the evening. My party would not have been the same without you. I would not hesitate to recommend Sound of the Suburb to all my family and friends. I wish you all the very best for the future. Again thank you sooo much.
