"The Ambrassadors certainly added a festive touch to our Christmas live music programme in the run up to the big day and they sounded great! We have had them in two year’s running now and would certainly invite them to perform again"

"I just want to say thank you to Big Smoke Brass for making everyone dance when they came to entertain shopkeepers and customers in Gabriel's Wharf both in the summer and before Christmas. We would love to have you back again!"

"We had the absolute pleasure of having FM Dixie perform at our daughter’s wedding in Italy. They were outstanding! Their music and entertainment was such a highlight for the day for the entire group. This is how they were used throughout the day for our event: • Greeting the shuttle vans with wedding guests as they all arrived at the Castello • Escorting the group up from the drop off location across the path and across the drawbridge to the Castello • Entertaining guests during a brief pause for prosecco until it was time to escort guests to the ceremony location (Castello terrace) • Following the ceremony, escorting guests from the terrace to the location for the aperitifs/welcome buffet (opposite end of the Castello by the pool) • Music throughout the aperitifs/welcome buffet for a couple of hours. • Escorting guests when it was time from the location by the pool up to the Castello courtyard for dinner FM Dixie were fantastic in the quality of their music and in how well they entertain, adapt and engage with the wedding guests! They exceeded our expectations in all respects. Thank you to the wonderful FM Dixie quintet that added so much magic to our event!"

"Talented, Kind, and Professional We hired The Sidewalk Crusaders to play at our 10-year anniversary event. Peter and Co. were everything we wanted and more! Quick to respond to questions, provided all the needed info, punctual, and most importantly were beyond talented musicians that brought our evening to life. Our guests were thoroughly impressed with their performances. We’d asked them to do covers of two (very different) songs, which were to play at specific times during our ceremony, and they were able to perform them beautifully and exactly how we’d envisioned it. Their ability to play a variety of songs and improvise on the spot was also very impressive. Can’t recommend them enough. Thank you guys for helping making our night so memorable!"

They are a great bunch of guys who really added to the atmosphere of our Christmas party. I would highly recommend them for any event you're planning! Great fun, thanks guys!"

"I wanted a swing/jazz band for my wedding, and oh boy, did they deliver! They were swinging, and lively; their repertoire was quite expansive. They reached out to ask if I had any specific songs and then added additional pieces that suited the style I wanted. We contracted them for both the ceremony and the reception, we had a 3 piece band for the ceremony (piano, bass, and sax) They showed up early and set up with no extra help needed, played some gentle jazz music until the ceremony began, and even added in a drummer for no extra charge. I flip-flopped on the song I wanted to walk down the aisle to until almost the very last moment, and they were incredibly understanding and flexible. For the ceremony, we requested a 7 piece band so it could be boisterous and fun. There was almost no time that the dance floor was empty from the moment they began playing, even though the music they played was a sort of old-school jazz that few people know how to properly dance to. They played so well and brought such an element of joy and fun, that all our guests felt comfortable enough to dance all night. We learned how to swing dance for our first dance (Louis Armstrong, 'Bout Time), and the band played it to perfection (even if we didn't dance it perfectly LOL). This moment is one I will treasure forever, it was exactly as I had wanted it to be. For the rest of the night, they played off a setlist of a few songs I gave them and filled in the rest with their own recommendations. The singer has the most beautiful voice, all the band members play perfectly, I felt like I was in a 1920s jazz bar which was exactly what I had wanted. We had guests approach us all throughout the night, and even now to ask who the band was and to congratulate us on such a fun event. If you want a band that can swing, rock, and any other musical verb you like, this is the band you want. They were so communicative, helpful, and perfectly able to understand my vision. To the Orignal Moonlighters: thank you for making my wedding as special as it was."

"“The Ambrassadors made our wedding an even more unforgettable day. They knew exactly how to get everyone up dancing, with an incredible set list and amazing energy our guests are still talking about how amazing the band at our wedding were. Thank you so much!” "

"Il loro stile si sviluppa attraverso i canoni musicali delle sonorità più varie e complesse da Bach, attraverso Mozart e scivolando in Gershwin affrontano con armonia e ritmica incalzante e melodica brani di jazz, blues, rock e pop, in particolare con classici dei Beatles e dei Queen, con puntate davvero interessanti nelle colonne sonore dei films più noti. Non mancano il tango e il funky. Davvero è una bella occasione ascoltarli."

"Booking The Ambrassadors is up there with one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. We knew that we wanted a brass band who would bring the energy and get our guests on their feet, but these guys were better than we could have hoped for. From the very beginning they were brilliant with communication, accommodated any requests we had for the set list and were just in general a pleasure to deal with. And then on the day they absolutely blew us away. Our guests couldn't say enough good things about them - their only complaint was that they were so tired at the end of the night, because they couldn't bear to leave the dancefloor at any point that the guys were performing! They matched our energy perfectly and finished off a pretty perfect day with a bang."

"What an incredible group! Deep Down Brass played in the evening of our wedding day. They were a fantastic addition to the day and we can't recommend them highly enough. They played a wide variety of music and styles, from folk to modern pop songs with their own twist. Any requests we had in advance were handled superbly. The group had everyone up and dancing and the day wouldn't have been the same without them. Not only are they fantastic musicians, they're also a lovely group of people. If you're considering booking Deep Down Brass - what are you waiting for?!"

"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 "
