Alister Harrison1 Apr 2022

Booked for Corporate Function

We hosted a sales away day evening this month and were very pleased with the level of service we received. After browsing for some evening entertainment we chose Social Season to perform and it was made effortless to organise from start to finish. Rami was friendly from the outset, his assistance organising the evening was spot on and he was such a great guy; the music and their sound was fantastic, it suited the vibe of the evening and definitely made our evening more enjoyable. Social Seasons music was very well received by the rest of the company on the night with many asking for their band name and requesting Rami's contact information for future bookings. Thank you again Rami & Jess for a great evening of music, you're both so talented and we would love to see you both again for any future company events.

Apologies in regards to the late review (annual leave)...but just so say that All That Soul were superb. Professional, vibrant, polite and the feedback from all those that attended the event was 'Wow', and that it helped to make a good evening..Great! Thank you.
