Booked for Wedding

Beci was absolutely brilliant! Beci was responsive throughout and catered to our needs perfectly. She gave a lovely performance of a song which is special to us during our ceremony and our guests loved the looping she did with her violin during the reception. Thank you!

Booked for Birthday party

These guys were absolutely fantastic. They were organised, helpful, provided their own AV equipment, and were very flexible amongst many changing plans And the music was phenomenal. They were so good at reading the room and the tone of each part of the event. They had everyone up dancing! Amazing, definitely my swing/jazz band of choice for any future events. 😁😁

Booked for Birthday party

"My wife and I thought that Petites Annonces were terrific, and exactly what we had been looking for. Their music was full of character, played with great verve and skill, and made just the right atmosphere for a party in a hired country house. They were also bang on time, very efficient in setting up, easy going and a pleasure to have at our party. Recommended without hesitation."

"Having this band for my wedding was the best choice in the world. All my guests had so much fun!!! We were all singing and dancing to the songs :) I would 100% recommed them for any occasion. All my guests were asking for them because they were so good no exaggerations.
