We just had our wedding and the star performers were the amazing Velvet Diamond. They were absolutely sensational, and our guests - just adored them. Najwa is an incredible singer and talent, and brings a beautiful energy and showmanship which just creates such a fabulously warm environment that everyone was up and dancing, from the children to our elder guests who hadn't danced in decades. She involved audience in songs and up on stage, creating memories that will last a lifetime. I also want to say that their playlist of songs is extensive and one of the funnest bits of planning the wedding for us was going through it and selecting as there are so many wonderful options Band manager Rhona is an absolute pleasure to deal with - warm and professional and responsive. We could not be happier and really feel that we and our guests were just privileged to be entertained by this band - huge appreciation to them all!
Velvet Diamond were fantastic. The setlist and performance were spot on and we really appreciated how much they interacted with our guests. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend – 5 stars!
Najwa and the band were not only incredibly talented but they also went out of their way to bring a party vibe to our 1920s wedding, making sure all our guests were having a fantastic time! The dance floor was packed throughout and their special requests songs meant so much to us as the bride and groom. We couldn’t have asked for better entertainment, and all of this was made possibly through Rhona’s flawless planning. Thank you to the Supreme Collective, we would book again and definitely recommend to others!
