"Andrew and his band are the BEST!! Our wedding planner recommended Andrew Thielen Big Band and his DJ and they were AWESOME! Our guests are still talking about how great they were. We had guests on the dance floor before dark, and we all danced the entire night! Andrew is very talented and we couldn't have gotten anything better!! Thank you so much!!"

"These 4 beautiful ladies are an exceptional talent. They surely out did themselves at our wedding reception, performing some of our favorite songs by some of our favorite. They literally had something for everyone in their set, even the young ones were having a blast. Truly amazing, I would definitely hire them again."

Thank you so much for the opportunity Natasha. There’s nothing we love more than seeing everyone celebrating a union and love through music and getting to share that with the world. We’re grateful for the experience. -Cape Town Soul Diva’s

"We organised The Cheers to play at our wedding in September 2018, and it was one of the best decisions of the day. I think there are three reasons why I would recommend them: 1. The music is great - The Cheers played a selection of oldies and new music to cater to the tastes of all our guests. We had a lot of kids and they even played some things purposefully to get them on the dance floor with their parents - a lovely touch. They are very talented musicians (with credentials!) and made everything sound great in our venue, even though they only had a short time to sound-check. We received numerous compliments that the band were excellent. They learnt our first dance perfectly and performed it exactly how we wanted. Just fantastic. 2. They are very professional - Our speeches and breakfast overran by about 45 minutes, but the band were extremely accommodating and calm about the delay. They setup extremely quickly to get us back on track and they were thoroughly proficient in breaking down at the end. They brought all their own equipment and everything looked and sounded great. 3. They were very easy to work with - Even though we didn’t meet the band until the day of the wedding, they were extremely easy and pleasant to deal with. Our main point of contact was Ben (the band manager) who was charming, quick to respond to calls and messages and very helpful. Formal arrangements were quick and professional and the entire interaction went very smoothly. Overall, the experience of hiring and hearing The Cheers was faultless. Thank you so much for rounding off our special day with fantastic entertainment."

"Blue Moon Jazz Band were absolutely wonderful and wonderful to work with! They played music for the welcome party for our wedding and were fantastic from start to finish. They perfectly matched the mood and setting of our event, playing a range of songs. The band and singer are all very talented and really impressed our guests. They kept telling us how much they loved the music! On top of all that, the band was very easy to work with. Raphael was friendly and responsive leading up to the event, answering all our questions. They coordinated with our venue to set everything up ahead of time. They were all lovely to work with, understood the vibe, and didn’t require much guidance to create the perfect atmosphere. Everyone loved the music. We would highly recommend them to anyone! Thank you for such a lovely evening! "

"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."

"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!! "

"I first heard Soulmates Collective at my best friend’s wedding and knew I had to have them play at mine. Francesco was a pleasure to deal with and the band prepared songs for us that weren’t on their repertoire. Everyone at our wedding was really impressed with them, even the hotel manager, who later asked for their details. Thank you for making our day so special!"

"I feel I need to shout from the rooftops not leave a review here about the NR band. From start to finish they were an absolute dream, we had them at our wedding all day, we asked them to bring the party and boy did they. The venue described it as the best wedding they have seen! They put their heart and soul in to performing, we danced non stop from the wedding breakfast entrance till the last song, our guests LOVED them, describing it like a concert and wanting to hire the band every month. They made the wedding for us and no one had ever seen anything like it. We can’t thank Jess and the gang enough, we are officially Rooties! We can’t can’t to have another party to get the band back together"

"The Blue Moon Jazz trio was the perfect choice for our Tuscany wedding in June. The atmosphere and mood the music created was pivotal to making the day as special as it was. We wanted something classy, elegant yet fun and that would be the perfect accompaniment to the Tuscan backdrop, and we found that with the Blue Moon Jazz Trio. Correspondence from Raphael throughout the whole process was seamless, he was very responsive and genuinely went out of his way to ensure we had the most special day. A talented bunch of musicians and great all round humans. Highly recommend! "

"Harry and the band played at our wedding in a beautiful Chateau in France. On the build up Harry was proactive in checking in with us to make sure everything ran smoothly, he was amazing, his suggestions were so helpful. On the day the band were incredible, they kept all our guests on the dance floor all night, it was perfect. The Sax player made it even more special, the band gave us a day we will never forgot. We just wish we could do it all again."

"We each contacted Rahael and booked four musicians for our wedding in July. The contact, the contracting and then the performance in Italy (Lake Orta) went flawlessly. All guests as well as we enjoyed it incredibly. The band played for 4 hours with 15 minute interruptions. Everything with the breaks for the speeches and games worked excellently. Also, the band prepared the microphone and speakers for the ceremony and also played songs on the Iphone (our speaker wanted it that way). Everything was really wonderful and we would book the blue moon italian jazz band again anytime. Highly recommended! Vinz& Miriam"

"My husband and I recently got married in Ostuni at Masseria Il Frantoio. When we began looking for music for the reception, jazz was on the top of our list. Blue Moon Jazz Band came highly recommended by our wedding planner and after hearing from her that they were able to keep a small intimate wedding dancing all night, I was sold. I love to dance and I was worried by having a smaller wedding we would miss out on that. Not the case at all! They learned the few pieces we wanted played for our ceremony and we gave them some suggestions for the reception, but left the rest up to them. They did not disappoint! We danced all night- even when it started to rain, they moved under an overhang so that they could continue the party! I highly recommend the Blue Moon Jazz Band for your wedding or event, I can’t say enough great things about them!! "
