Claire Murray10 Jul 2023

Booked for Corporate Function

Steel Impact were a great start to our event. Fareed went out of his way to ensure that our guests were entertained and even allowed one a young adult who was the daughter of one of our guests have a go on the drums and gave her a little session on how to play. I would definitely use this group again. So super friendly and keen to please. Easy to book and easy to deal with in the run up to the event. Thank you again.

Booked for Birthday party

Great performance. All guests have a good time. The team arrived early to prepare and the performance time is as pre-agreed. Davy is very easy to communicate and responds promptly. Recommend.

Booked for Wedding

Jack and Tina were incredible at our wedding. We’d give them 10 out of 5 stars if we could. Would highly recommend!!! We wouldn’t have wanted any other band.

Sanneke Kottier12 Feb 2020

Booked for Wedding

Thank you so much for making our wedding the party of the year - everyone loved the music! Black Velvet Band played at our wedding reception and they were brilliant. I had worried whether people would want to dance to Irish music but I shouldn't have. Everyone loved the music! We had a real proper Irish Hooley, with lots of dancing, singing-along and some humour in-between. As this was a marriage of cultures (English, Irish and Dutch) we were also touched that the band played a couple of traditional Dutch songs, allowing the Dutch to have a good sing-along as well. And when my dad asked if they could accompany him for a song to sing after his speech, it was no problem. The guys in the band are proper musicians who can play what the crowd needs to keep the party fuelled. The only complaint I have had is from my knees - which are still complaining, even after 4 days rest! Next time, I will wear trainers.

Highly recommend Combo Yanze! They played at our wedding reception, they were highly professional and made the evening so special! Everyone at our reception loved the band, couldn’t have asked for a more perfect salsa band!!

Booked for Wedding

We had a great experience from start to finish with these guys. Martin and I had a good chat through things over the phone in advance of our wedding to answer some of my questions and work out a few logistics and finer details. Martin was very reassuring and accommodating and followed up promptly with details as promised. On the big day, the band were fantastic. They got themselves set up and adapted without any trouble to a delayed start (our meal had overrun). The music sounded great and the calling was really clear and with just the right amount of explanations to get everyone dancing and more or less(!) doing the right things whilst still keeping things moving nicely. Nearly all our guests, young and old, ended up getting stuck in, which was great fun and made our day extra memorable for everyone. Highly recommended!

We delivered next level parties for exceptional companies

We also did more than 40,000 birthday parties. Probably, including your neighbour’s recent big bash.
