"Dennis is an incredible musician and person. He was quick to respond on emails, flexible during our pandemic postponement scheduling process, and willing to take our special requests for music. We received so many compliments from guests on Dennis’ acoustic guitar during our ceremony and the band’s renditions of hits from Van Morrison, Grateful Dead, and Eric Clapton during our cocktail hour. I would hire Dennis and his band again in a heartbeat."

"Jelly Roll Jazz came all the way to Devon for our belated wedding reception celebrations and they were fantastic! Our guests thoroughly enjoyed the music (as did we) and we couldnt imagine a more perfect performance than the one done by the band. The guys were very kind and friendly and their performance was very characteristic visually (not just musically). Thanks so much again guys it was fantastic!"

"I just wanted to say a HUGE thank you to you and your band for making mine and Joe's wedding extra special. The guests have been raving about how great you all were and how good it was to hear traditional jazz music live. You definitely added the extra element I was looking for and more, and everything came together just as I had imagined it. I can't thank you all enough!! With love Minoli and Joe "

"The band was perfect in all the management of the music in the different locations within the party's venue. they are all very nice and the show is fantastic. We especially appreciated the music of the 50s/60s, and twist and rock and roll. the guests all danced, without exception. Thanks Contrabbandiati"

"Brian was so laid back and easy to work with. He has a long list of available music and recommended playlists, but I asked for a completely custom playlist within a few weeks of the wedding and he made it happen. He also played the jazz piano during the cocktail hour to create a bubbly ambiance without making it difficult for guests to talk and mingle. Everyone raved at how great he was! "

"Great vibes for a casual wedding We hired Peter and the Sidewalk Crusaders for our casual wedding reception in July 2025 and they were a hit with all of the guests! Not only was Peter easy to communicate and plan with, but the whole band were super positive and a great addition to our celebration. We had them play a few sets, both as background music during appetizers and also as dance music after dinner. The band really elevated the celebratory and fun nature of the party and played a lot of upbeat songs. We would definitely hire Peter and the band again in the future!"

"Sharon and I were delighted with the great start which you gave to our party – having the drinks out in the garden worked out well and the lively and fun programme you gave us was the perfect introduction to the evening. Perhaps you’d be kind enough to convey our sincere thanks to your colleagues"

"Michelle's Birthday Party - excellent jazz band, very classy, perfect for the event in question. It's nice to see a band which does things so simply and professionally, providing a full sound with the minimum of equipment. They were happy to play to the room when people were eating and talking, at a volume which still allowed conversation, but were friendly and engaging as and when people wanted to interact with them. The singer they provide (if required) has a great voice, well matched to their style, no over-acting or dramatic self indulgence, just confident, strong and pitch perfect. Great day, thank you."
