Booked for Wedding

We were absolutely blown away by Groove Collider. Every guest without exception commented on how fantastic the band were. Excellent playlist, perfect vocals, amazing sound and extremely engaging. They made a perfect atmosphere for the party after our wedding. Extremely easy to deal with and book. Effortless set up, and very good value for money. The band had everyone on the dance floor and were happy to give a few encore numbers at the end because our guests wanted more. Highly recommended for any event where you want to let your hair down and have a great night. Thanks to Mark and the band, we would definitely book again!

Booked for Wedding

Halos came to play at our wedding and they were absolutely INCREDIBLE! We really just can't recommend them enough - they totally brought the party for the evening. Both myself and my husband as well as all of our guests had an absolutely incredible time - our guests have talked about it as one of their favourite parts of the day. They were so flexible with their set list and the DJ was just perfect on the evening, playing lots of requests to keep our guests happy. The lead vocalist has to have a shout out - what a voice!! Thanks so much to the Halos for being part of our day and being utterly, utterly brilliant - everyone should book this band!

Booked for Anniversary

"We booked Andy's show as a surprise for our parents diamond wedding anniversary. Andy and Stuart could not have been more accommodating and worked with us in order to keep the secret. The looks on our parents faces when Elvis appeared was priceless. Andy's act is first class he is an absolutely amazing performer. Along with Stuart the sound guy the show, music and lights were just fabulous. Thoroughly enjoyed by all age groups. If you are looking to book an Elvis tribute do not hesitate you will not be disappointed..We will be sharing the great memories of this fab night for a long time to come. Thanks again Andy and Stuart, two lovely gents x"
