Michael thank you so so much for providing us with the best night. Despite it being a smaller group, Michael got everyone involved and literally did not miss a beat. The song choices where amazing and are guaranteed to get everyone on their feet. Michael was great at communicating and we could not have been happier. I have recommended him to everyone I know and hopefully will see him on the dance floor very soon. Talented, funny and professional. If I could give 10 stars I would! Thank you!

Bev played at our wedding party in July ‘23. All aspects of the run up were easy and she was so helpful, answering any questions and even played a song we’d requested for our first dance. Bev and her music were fantastic, she got the guests dancing along and everyone still talks about how good she was! So glad we booked this, it was such a lovely addition to our day. Thanks so much ☺️ Erin & Iwan

Sophie joined us on our wedding day. The communication was fab in the lead up to the wedding and there was a great playlist to choose from.
At our wedding Sophie played us in as a married couple and really got everyone on their feet. She then played a set during our wedding breakfast which was a lovely addition and really set the mood! After our first dance Sophie played an amazing set and got the parted started. She was fantastic! We had so many compliments and it was such an amazing way to start the evening party!
