Review Centre: Motown Bands

"The Blue Moon Jazz Quartet provided a wonderful soundtrack to our wedding celebration in Tuscany. Raphael was very helpful in the preparation for the event: describing how the band would set up, where and when they would move for each aspect of the celebration, and helping us in the choice of music too. On the day, they were really flexible in accommodating exactly what we wanted and kept playing for longer than planned as everyone was having such a good time. The singer really pulled out the stops and they were a great success, creating just the atmosphere we wanted. We would certainly recommend Raphael and the Blue Moon Jazz Trio/Quartet for your event!

"We asked Central Avenue to play at David Lloyd Clubs annual management awards in Glasgow in December 2021 and were certainly not disappointed with our choice!!!! The band were fantastic, the choice of music and genre was extremely fitting for an audience that spanned generations and the sound made for great listening keeping our team dancing well into the early hours. I would recommend Central Avenue for any function that you are planning, we will definitely be using them for future events. Thanks for a great evening"

"I cannot say enough good things about Blue Moon Jazz Trio/ quartet. Our wedding would not have been nearly as amazing and memorable without the music stylings of this amazing group. We planned our Venetian wedding from the US and Raphael was so easy and lovely to work with. Everything was handled from the set list to a playlist for dinner and breaks. They knew just what songs to play and when. All the guests commented how perfect the band was. I cannot thank them or recommend them enough to every couple looking for a band for their wedding."

"Courtney is a song bird, beautiful from the inside out. It was an absolute pleasure to interview this remarkably gifted artist. She is dedicated to her craft and she honors all those who journey along with her. I love every sound she creates and I look forward to hearing more in the years to come! https://youtu.be/WUZIJTeSRrA 👈🏾Watch This"

"Lisa and the E-Lusion were a great hit at our party. I have never had so many guests ask were I found them. As I was setting up for our party I got to observe them get set up for the party and I was impressed with the time Lisa Perkins took to make sure the sound was just right for the room. I was not surprised that they were such a hit. I would definitely book again. Thanks Lisa you made our party a huge success "

"We booked HM&H for our annual national conference (The Associated Board of Dance) and they were amazing. They coped with timetable changes that always happen at these events with professionalism and ensured our guests had a great night. The dancefloor was never empty and the variety of music was brilliant. We're a advance association and we know great music when we hear it! "

"we booked Raphael and the Blue moon jazz band a year ahead for our wedding in Montalcino in September. Raphael was so professional and sweet all through our planning, and we didn’t have to worry about anything. At the wedding day they arrived and and just started to play in front of the guest at the reception. everyone loved it. they were so kind and joyful, and was playing for hours with the biggest smile. so romantic and perfect for our wedding. we just sat in the sun, drinking champagne, eating delicious food and listened to real italian jazz. it couldn’t have been more perfekt. So if you want real italian mood for your wedding, a over the top professional band and some talented musicians, you have to book The Blue Moon Jazz Trio. We loved it! We wish you (Raphael and the band) all the best. Love Ken and Cecilie"

"It is said that the largest portion of a bride’s budget should be directed towards entertainment. I am a living witness that investing in your entertainment is crucial. Even more so, the RIGHT type of entertainment. Andrew Thielen Big Band band was the right choice for my Thanksgiving eve wedding. Let’s be honest, in this day and age it’s a challenge to find professional entertainment that soothes the soul and inspires. Andrew Thielen Big Band did that and then some. Hear me when I tell you, this band ROCKED the house. They added the air of class and sophistication that I so desired. Not only were they amazing to engage, the quality of music was second to none. Their sound is PHENOMENAL. I almost shied away from hiring them because I only had 75 invited guests. I was concerned that their larger than life sound would overtake us. My Gosh was I was wrong. Their larger than life sound brought the funk, soul, jazz and pizazz that kept my guests on the dance floor until the very end. We laughed, we cried and bonded with the band in a way that brought us together as family. Every time that I reflect on them playing, You’re the Best Thing That Ever Happened to Me (Gladys Knight) I tear up. Andrew went out of his way to make our wedding reception a night to remember. Thank you! ♥️??? The soloist we’re incredible! And y’all, let’s just say, COME THROUGH HORNS! Readers, if you’re harboring ANY doubt, release it and hire this band. It is my desire and promise to bring them in for all of my future events. Many blessings to the Andrew Thielen Big Band! "

"The Cheers were amazing, I hired them for my wedding and I cannot recommend them enough. From start to finish there communication was excellent. They spoke with the venue directly and created a stress free experience for me. They answered any question I had, and had a very handy guide to use for timings and common questions from their previous experience. They were brilliant. The band itself is awesome, everyone at the wedding came and asked me where I found the band, they got everyone up and dancing. We had a male and female singer, both were excellent. The song choice they made, had everyone laughing, and bouncing around. You know there brilliant when the venue asked for their details to recommend them to other couples :D I have nothing bad to say, professional throughout, great communication and the music was just perfect. They also learnt our 1st dance song and smashed it out the park. Thanks Ben and the whole band, It was magical Roxanne & Matthew Langley."

"NYC, Married on 09/03/2022 Le' Mixx is an awesome band I actually discovered Le' Mixx at my best friend's wedding, and decided to use them for my wedding - both my friend and I are in musicians, so take that for what it's worth. Mike and his band were professional, responsive, and made our event very special. They are killer in the Motown, jazz, R&B, and oldies game - highly recommend. Sent on 10/24/2022 (Wedding Wire)"

"I am delighted to recommend the Blue Moon Jazz Band – I booked my wedding from the UK and I don’t speak Italian – but Raphael and the Blue Moon Jazz Band couldn't have been more helpful. We had to change arrangements due to the pandemic and again they were brilliant. On the day they sorted everything -playing our music for the ceremony exactly as asked, the band were brilliant – so many guests commented on the style and quality of their playing and the singer had a beautiful voice, they also then provided the disco for later – all the music was seemlessly handled and exactly as we wanted. My only regret was that I didnt spend enough time dancing to them as I was off doing photos etc! would highly recommend – so helpful, excellent music and good value. Karen and Pete"

"The Cheers played for our wedding and were absolutely fantastic. The dancefloor was packed for the whole night and we had so many compliments from our guests about the quality of the music. Ben, their manager, is excellent at communication in the lead up to the day and so I didn't have any worries at all. Once again, the music was amazing, the band were so professional and we had the BEST evening. Couldn't recommend them highly enough."
