Laura and the gang were great. Nice and early, courteous, professional and of course...they sounded great! The moment they fired up their first song my feet were tapping and their music was well received byour mixed age range audience. Due to our venue we had limitations with our sound and this was never an issue for Pink Champagne. They bought their own mini PA and it was just right. So understanding the requirements …

Very talented people. These guys were the first music act of our evening and helped to gently set the tone of our wedding reception perfectly. They happily took requests of some well known classics and finished with Thunderstruck just as we asked. Happy to recommend to anyone.

We hired the Alchemists to perform at our wedding, and they were fantastic. They did an amazing set full of suitable songs for the occasion which had people up and dancing but were also relaxed enough for others to mingle and chat. We had to cancel our wedding 3 times over the lockdown and communication with Ryan was excellent over the year from when we first contacted them, till the big day. If your looking for a classy, p…
