Absolutely brilliant, perfect duo for my husband's birthday party, many of our guests commented on how good Two Scoop are. They knew exactly what to play. Thank you to Ryan and Anthony for helping to make our event very special.

Barry Mould12 Sep 2020

Outstanding performance by Josie. Considering the present circumstances we are now all enduring, she made such a tremendous effort to ensure everything was as it should be. Her range of music is incredible and it suited the whole ambience for the evening. I cannot thank Josie enough for the extreme lengths that she went to for our enjoyment.

Ginelle Richardson27 Jul 2018

"Excellent! The manager Jim was very helpful , and flexible with the music requests. The band arrived and set up on time (before the guests arrived) The lead singer had an amazing voice. Would definitely use them again."

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.
