"Just wow! The band sounded amazing and filled the dance floor! Booked them for our wedding and had such a great sound but also great fun and clearly seemed to be enjoying themselves.

Ryan was fantastic in terms of communication and also put on a brilliant DJ set that kept everybody on their feet.

Thank you for making it an awesome evening.

Hayley & Rob xx"
