• June 11, 2016Absolutely brilliant from start to finish. We loved having The London Groove Unit at our wedding party, they made the night feel epic! All of our comments were taken into consideration before the event so the whole set felt very personal on the night. The only bad part was when they had to finish! No one had a bad word to say. Thank you for everything, keep doing what your doing

• May 28, 2016We have had a lot of great feedback from people since saying how good the band were. They were very friendly, well turned out and certainly projected a professional attitude. We would definitely re-book The London Groove Unit for a future event – they were extremely professional and entertaining, and created a great talking point after the wedding. Thanks to the band for helping make our wedding such a special day!
