"Captain Star was absolutely perfect for our wedding. The music was exceptional, and the vocals were always on and quite impressive. We had so many family and friends come up to us after and exclaim how wonderful they were. The music during dinner was perfect, as well as during the dancing/party. They exceeded all of our expectations, and we couldn't have dreamt of any better musicians. We would recommend them to anyone who is having a wedding in France"

"Ian P. Woodbury I’ve been serenaded AND stirred by THE ROCKITS twice in 2022, since being introduced to them only recently. I made a pledge to myself, in the mirror, to go and listen to them whenever I need to satisfy my audio addiction for exceptionally performed, hard driving Rock n Roll. As a guy who has been playing guitar, and singing for an audience since 1956, I continuously need to have my appetite satiated with Good Ol’ Rock n Roll. The Rockits satisfy my need quite satisfactorily! Thank You Very Much! The Rockits share the top shelf of the D.C. Area bands, with only a few other bands up there with them. There is no better party band than The Rockits. The band is well-rehearsed, instrumentally and vocally tight, and they really know how to keep the good vibes topped off at FULL, without losing the personal touch with their audience. Everyone in the band is a seasoned musician, sings very well, and harmonizes on key. But…the vocal standout is Robin Brown, the female vocalist. Robin should be known by everyone in the D. C. Metro Area, who enjoys hip Shakin’ Rock n Roll. ROBIN IS THAT GOOD! She commands the stage, like a Queen, but she is never domineering. She does not try to draw undue attention to herself, but knows her position on stage, as an integral part of a smoothly wild ensemble. She shares the M.C. duties with the band’s leader, Peter Grattan, who is a fine drummer, but in The Rockits, he is a triple threat on keyboards, guitar, and vocals. All the instrumentalists are in the top echelon of local talent, each attuned to his role in the overall mix, and they all shine in their spots. If you want a really satisfying Good Time of listening and dancing, there is no better band, who can lift you higher, than The Rockits. Going out to get your Rock n Roll fix with The Rockets is an evening well-spent. "

Thank you so very much Ian. We strive to give the best performance possible and it is people like you that make it all worth while. Having been 'Rockits' for over ten years, we appreciate every gig we get, every booking is unique, and having played a 3 year 6 nite a week residency at one of New Zealand's top hotels in my twenties, I know how important it is to 'entertain.' My experience as TVNZ's Head Of Entertainment Production for three years also has given me the experience needed to become an all round entertainer. Years of touring the world on cruise ships, recording four records for CBS and years in London have helped, so that our repertoire of 1000 songs spans sixty years and encompasses the best of the Rock 'n Roll era. Your heart felt review means so much! -Peter G Grattan (band leader)

"Hi Gary, I just wanted to say a big thank you to yourself and the Mumfudden boys for making our wedding really special. I'm sorry I didn't get to speak to you more on the night, but you guys sounded awesome and so many guests asked us about where we found you! I'll keep recommending you to everyone I know that gets married and can't wait to be a guest so I can rock out with you next time! Best wishes, Ian & Jane"

"We had a last minute cancellation by our wedding band after they upped their price a week before the big day! Searching the net whilst travelling from Australia to Rome for our pre-wedding honeymoon (and to sort out all the legalities with the UK embassy!) we stumbled across Guty & Simone who had the most incredible reviews - no surprise. They responded immediately and were available and affordable! Could not recommend these guys more They are extremely professional, friendly and talented. They kept our guests on the dance floor and we all had an amazing night Thank you!!"

"JBMAC travelled to France to play at our wedding and we can’t recommend them enough! We loved them and so did our guests (we got lots of rave reviews). They really brought the fun and Nora’s vocals were insane. Lots of people were dancing which was exactly what we wanted. From booking to the wedding itself they were really friendly and responsive. On the day there was a hiccup with the sound equipment (not their fault) but they were super professional and didn’t let it affect the night or their performance at all. Thank you so much!"

"We just wanted to say a massive thank you from both of us for your performances at our wedding yesterday! The live band was absolutely fantastic, and your acoustic duo performance of our first dance song (Paperweight By Josh Radin) was perfect, everything we hoped for and more! I've had so many people telling me that they loved your performance. The song selection was absolutely perfect! You certainly knew which songs would get our friends and family's up dancing! Thank you again, Rachael and Chris"

"With Groove Primitive you can tell that they are dedicated from the first bar, but they also are fun, with a sense of humour. The funk is tight and the rockier songs have soul. Shay’s vocals are strong and she’s backed by some great players. I’ve seen them in bars and clubs, but could imagine them on a journey to filling much bigger venues in the future. Highly Recommended 5 stars – for entertainment and musical virtuosity."

"Vincenzo participated as a vocalist, accompanied by excellent musicians, in many of our wedding events. With him we have a sure guarantee of success, both for his exceptional skill and for his great professionalism: punctual and respectful, he manages to interface with the spouses and their guests with sympathy, professionalism and empathy. He manages to embrace multiple musical styles and meet the spouses' requests with great availability. Also very good at party animation: he manages to capture the right atmosphere for each event and behave accordingly, both using a more festive and engaging register and a more reserved and elegant one. The pre-event communication was also excellent, always available and attentive to understanding the different needs."

Thanks to Ecowedding Umbria for these words. Thanks to you, Barbara and Teresa, for always knowing how to organize every wedding impeccably, providing me with all the details necessary for an adequate performance. You are always ready to welcome me and make sure that everything is in place for the entire duration of the event. Working with you is always a pleasure!
