Ben Chahoud17 Jul 2023

Booked for Wedding

Breaker Live were excellent and the dance floor was full the whole time they were playing. They allowed us to choose the setlist, based on their broader range of songs, which allowed us to tailor the setlist for our wedding guests. Highly recommended.

Booked for Corporate Function

Smax came to our corporate event in early December. They were absolutely incredible. From start to finish the communication was impeccable and the planning felt easy. They were AMAZING on the evening of our event and nothing was too much trouble. They had everyone up and dancing (which is not an easy feat!) Thank you so much for making our event extremely enjoyable and I will definitely be in touch again should we be around the area!

Struan10 Dec 2019

Booked for Birthday party

I booked Bourbon Street Party for my 40th birthday. From enquiry to booking, it was a seemless process. The play list was quickly sent and suited our taste in music brilliantly. On the night the guys arrived early and were set up ready to go. The music was great and got everyone up. For any event, BSP are recommended. I will certainly book them again. Banging tunes!! Thank you guys!

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.
