"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!"

"We had the absolute pleasure of having DJ Ale for our wedding after party in Sicily, and he completely surpassed all our expectations. From the start, Ale took the time to meet with us via video call, listened carefully to what we were looking for, and truly understood the vibe we wanted. Music was one of the most important parts of the night for me, and as someone who is extremely particular about music, I can confidently say that DJ Ale absolutely nailed it. His repertoire was incredible — a perfect mix of deep cuts, crowd favorites, and seamless transitions that kept the energy alive all night long. Throughout the party, multiple guests came up to me asking, "Who is this DJ?!" because they were so impressed by his set. Even the next day, friends and family were still talking about how amazing the music was. It’s clear that Ale's decades of experience as a professional DJ really shine through. His ability to read the room, keep the momentum going, and surprise us with tracks we never thought we’d hear was nothing short of perfect. I truly couldn’t have asked for a better person to DJ our after party — Ale made the night unforgettable. If you’re looking for a DJ who will exceed every expectation and create a party you and your guests will remember forever, DJ Ale is the one."

"The String Quartet were incredible at our Wedding. They performed for the ceremony and the drinks reception and our guests were amazed at the huge range of songs they performed! They were so easy to deal with in the lead up to the Wedding, taking our special requests for the ceremony music and creating an amazing playlist for the drinks reception. Thanks again to you all!

"We recently hired DJ Conjiggy for our conference gala dinner event for 400 guests. From the outset, he was easy to communicate with—responsive, professional, and clearly understood the brief. On the night, he delivered exactly the atmosphere we were hoping for. The music selection was spot-on, creating a great vibe that suited the tone of the evening and kept the energy throughout the event. He read the room perfectly and adjusted seamlessly as the night progressed. Overall, a fantastic experience. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him!"

"Booked Bella Cover Duo for my birthday celebration and they really made the night special. Great energy, great music, and super easy to work with. Bella has an incredible voice — everyone was impressed — and the mix of classic and newer songs they played hit just the right tone for the evening. The 12-string guitar gave everything a rich sound, and the tambourine added a fun rhythm that got people moving. They were professional, showed up early to set up, and handled everything smoothly. Several of my friends already asked for their contact info for future events. Definitely recommend them if you want something elegant but also warm and full of personality."

"Thank you Big Smoke Brass for making our wedding so special. We wanted to find a band who did something a bit different, and who could play to a wedding crowd without being too ‘cheesy’. I’m so glad they were able to make our wedding in Wales; they were incredible. From the start, they were flexible about what songs we wanted them to play and were quick to respond - all while being amazing musicians who I’d love to see play all over again. They really judged the mood of the evening and both of their sets were brilliant. Everyone left the evening wanting to know who the band were, how we found them...or wanted to pick up a tuba and start learning. Thank you, thank you! "

"October 1, 2024 Gary was awesome! We hired Gary for our corporate reception for about 200 last night. He was incredibly great at communicating, arrived well in advance of our guests, was playing when they arrived, and made absolutely perfect song choices throughout the night. He could not have been more professional and everyone really enjoyed this music! We will definitely hire him again when we are back in Pittsburgh!"

"Unbelievably good band. Could not recommend any more. I have never been to a wedding (let alone organised one) where there has been so much dancing throughout the set. Great songs, great performance and amazing customer relations with the band manager, Ben."

"4 part harmonies? Really? In a local classic rock cover band?? Technically about as clean a sound as I've heard. They're pretty particular! "

"You were the absolute hit of the night. Everyone was raving about your voice and I will dine out on many occasions when I tell people about the offer you got from a lady at the event. $2,000 for a date with Tim Oates. So cute. Thank you for being so professional, so easy to work with. We all enjoyed you so much. "

"After cancelling two hen parties and having to organise a garden party in a very short amount of time, we found Mel and we are so glad that we did! Mel responded to us promptly, was super friendly from the outset and the process to book was very easy. Set-up was smooth and from the get go Mel got our party started! We were able to request some of our favourite, House, 90s and Garage music prior to the gig, as well as some extras on the night which was just brilliant and even let us get our own hands on the mic (sorry Mel ;)). Mel was so accommodating and really brought the energy even with it being one of her first gigs post COVID. Very versatile and we would highly recommend! Thank you again!! "

"Ant was fantastic!! We asked Ant to sing/ play guitar to one of our favourite songs (Better together, Jack Johnson) during the signing of the register at our church ceremony wedding. He also sang Elton John 'Your song'. We absolutely loved his performance and so many of our guests said how great they thought he was!! He sang them brilliantly and gave an extra personal touch to our ceremony. His kind, easy going nature made the whole process of booking/ arranging very simple. Would highly recommend!!!"
