Review Centre: Wedding Bands

"Bernie and the Boys honestly made our night! After the show they put on at my Aunty’s wedding last year, I knew we just had to have them for ours. They got our playlist sorted (and I thought Spotify knew what’s up, Can I download the Bernadette app??) and we had everyone on the dance floor the whole night. I changed into my sketchers and spent the whole night dancing up a storm (if you don’t believe me, check the pics!). Bernie also was our MC and just made everything run so smoothly, she feels like a member of the family <3 I could go on forever about how much Bassline rules but I’ll just say....If you put aside money for anything in your budget, it should be these guys. #bestbandever"

"Dagmar wow!!!! What a wedding! And the performance from you and the band during the ceremony was truly amazing!! Ramones - Baby I love you, was my favourite, the vibe and pace and sound and your amazing voice was exceptional!! Thank you so much. Everyone commented on how incredible you were. The music was above and beyond during the ceremony and during the apéritivo. So sorry we didn’t get a chance to thank you in person. But it was truly incredible"

"Jonny opened our village music festival in June and certainly got the party started! His charm and charisma come through every song. He is a delightful performer and we will certainly book him again. Thank you Jonny Lewis - you are a star!"

"I was dubious booking before I had heard them properly but was THRILLED with their performance. They made the evening, they were friendly, lively, play every type of music and a proper treat. I would highly recommend them and now have to find an excuse for another party to get them back a second time! Thank you Blag! "

I just wanted to send a huge thank you for playing at our wedding a couple of weeks ago! ☺️ It was absolutely amazing to hear the song requests being played during our ceremony and it honestly sounded so perfect and beautiful. ❤️ I’m really glad we had booked with you and wishing you both all the best! Thanks again!"

"Sugar Sweet Duo were a huge part of why our wedding day was so lovely. In hindsight we'd have booked them for longer! We asked them to do two 45 minute sets but I would suggest you go for a full hour because it just flies by so quickly. Many guests commented on how good they were. Melissa and Joe learned a special song for us in a short amount of time and at no extra cost. The DJ playlist after their set was the perfect volume; loud enough to get people up and dancing but not too loud that you couldn't talk to someone on the dance floor without screaming at them. We were also impressed with how enthusiastic, friendly and professional they are. We can't recommend Sugar Sweet Duo enough for your event."

"A highly recommended concert; the guitarist kept us spellbound throughout the performance. Not only because of his precision, but also because of the emotion and delicacy he brought to each piece. What’s more, I think he added his own personal touch, as he didn’t simply play well-known styles, but created something new on each occasion. We loved the concert and highly recommend it, both to flamenco enthusiasts and to those wishing to discover this art form for the first time."

"We couldn’t have asked for a better band to play at our wedding than Esotika Band! From the very first moment we contacted them, they were incredibly professional, easy to communicate with, and open to all of our song requests. They really listened to what we wanted for our big day and made it happen perfectly. On the day of the wedding, they exceeded all our expectations. The music was absolutely fantastic—every song was beautifully performed, and the energy they brought to the event was contagious! Our guests were dancing non-stop, and so many of them commented on how amazing the band was. What really stood out to us was how they adapted to the mood of the evening, shifting from romantic ballads during the ceremony to high-energy hits at the reception. Their performance made the entire celebration even more memorable. If you’re looking for a professional, talented band with a huge range of music styles and amazing live performances, Esotika Band is the way to go. We couldn’t have imagined our wedding without them!"

"Review of Trilby - The liner notes inform us that this ensemble started as a swinging dance band in 2005. Since then, they've evolved into a solid, well-arranged outfit with first rate solos played by intriguing, skilled jazz cats. The feeling I derived from the CD was similar to a classic Blue Note session. You know, several well-written originals that are melodically strong, and a few standards to test the players' chops on familiar material. The co-leaders play flugelhorn and trombone, respectively. Most of the arrangements come from pianist Bill Dobbins, who allows plenty of room for free-swinging solo work. The familiar vehicles here include Benny Golson's "Stablemates" and Sonny Stitt's "Eternal Triangle." I also spotted a tune called "Rich's Call" by Kerry Strayer, a baritone player of the highest stripe, and a skilled composer and arranger as well. It is interesting to note three compositions from jazz harmonica whiz, Hendrik Meurkens. Perhaps he has some connection to the band. Finally, it should be said that this session is directed straight down the middle of the bop highway. Simply an outstanding blowing session on songs that, amazingly enough, sound like songs!"

"We couldn't be happier with the choice of this rumba group for our wedding. His performance added an authentic and festive touch to our special day. Both young and old enjoyed his music to the fullest."
