"AMAZING! Where do I start….. From the very first time meeting Craig & Jess we knew this was the band for us, but they were so much more than we could have dreamed of! RnB, Funk, Garage they had it all! For our aisle walk, and first dance Alvyn knocked it our the park, and when Jess and the rest of the band kicked in during the reception and late in to the night they made sure the dance floor was full the entire night. The playlist they chose to play really suited our personalities and of our guests, so much so they nearly didn’t get the mic back! The saxophonist was also unreal! We had so many comments about how amazing the band were and we wholeheartedly agree. Thankyou all so much for making our day so special, we just need to find an excuse to book you again! Much love"

"Gig ID: 4157649 Ronnie and the Dynomites were super-great and perfect for our occasion! They were all so appreciative and courteous and really wanted to make sure everything was as we wanted it. Ronnie was great at communication with me before the event and even asked if there were any specific or special songs we wanted played. They showed up early to set up and started on time with maybe one short break(?). The entire party enjoyed the band very much. We would totally hire Ronnie and the Dynomites again!"

"Capiche were perfect for the drinks reception at the Darenth Golf Club after our wedding. Jon also provided instrumental guitar music at the church before the ceremony. "

"The Cheers are a real talent and brought our night alive! Our first dance went so well that people thought we'd prepared it! The set list you'd put together was so on point and us, and the backing music was really great too - watching my bride lose it at my chemical romance and fallout boy and rock out entirely was a moment that will live on happily from the day. Thank you for all you did to help this run smoothly & to the band for ending our day with fun, laughter and love. "

"Absolutely fantastic from the very first communication to the wedding day! Stefano and his band performed some beautiful songs during our cocktail hour, helping create fun and warm atmosphere filled with Motown and soul! Stefano was so kind to let us use his mic and speaker during the ceremony and even set a mic up and guitar for my friends to sing a song during the ceremony. They gave us a 100% and I really couldn’t recommend them more. Our favourite vendors we worked with for sure ❤️❤️❤️"

"We asked Blue Moon to perform at our wedding in Rome a few weeks back and would highly recommend these guys to anyone!!! They played during our ceremony, aperitivo cocktail hour and throughout dinner. These guys are super talented and really down to earth – they were very responsive through the whole process (we hired them over a year in advance!), so kind and understanding and they created an awesome atmosphere for us. Thank you guys!! "

"We hired The Cheers for a joint 50th birthday party on 10th August 2024 and were super impressed with the band from the very start of communication with Ben to the very end of the party. A big thanks to Ben for making the organisation process so easy and creating a really personable experience; and thanks to the rest of the band who were incredible and extremely talented! We got so much good feedback from everyone throughout the night and the biggest tell tale was the amount of people up dancing, smiling and having a fantastic time, so much that they didn't want the band to stop playing - the saxophonist was also a fabulous way to start the evening off - music can make or break a party and we definitely got it right by going with The Cheers!"

"I’ve had the pleasure of hiring Ronnie Barrera for numerous events over the years, and every single time he has exceeded my expectations. Ronnie is one of those rare entertainers who brings both extraordinary talent and impeccable professionalism to the stage. Whether he’s leading a band, dazzling on the jazz guitar, or lending his smooth voice to a classic tune, he delivers a performance that feels effortless, polished, and deeply engaging. One of Ronnie’s greatest strengths is his versatility. He can glide from soulful jazz standards to upbeat rock and roll without missing a beat, always reading the room and choosing exactly the right energy for the moment. His musical range allows him to elevate any event—formal dinners, lively celebrations, intimate gatherings, or large-scale functions. No matter the setting, Ronnie shows up fully prepared, perfectly attuned to the event’s mood, and ready to create an unforgettable experience. What truly sets Ronnie apart is his dedication. He communicates clearly, arrives early, and ensures every detail is just right. I always feel confident knowing he’s part of the program, because I trust his talent, his consistency, and his ability to make guests feel delighted and swept into the moment. Ronnie Barrera isn’t just a musician—he’s an entertainer in the highest sense of the word. I recommend him wholeheartedly. Cheryl Jones"

"I am delighted to recommend the Blue Moon Jazz trio – 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"

"We chose Jem Ellow Band for our wedding in Umbria, Italy in May and I could not say enough good things about them!! From the first contact we made to the day of the event, David was super available, professional and friendly and made planning the music side of things so easy and fun! The guests kept coming up to us to tell us how good the music was, and they kept the dance floor packed all night! We paid extra to have the saxophonist too and I would really recommend it, he added so much to the evening. Overall just a really amazing group of musicians and people, it was such a pleasure to have them at our wedding "
