"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!"

"“The Ambrassadors played at our wedding and we cannot recommend them enough. They learnt our first dance song and came in perfectly. Their outfits fit in so well with the festival vibe and our guests LOVED them. Every wedding should have the Ambrassadors. We already want to organise an event where they can play again. Thank you for making our wedding so special.” "

"We saw this band by chance when on holiday in Saint Jean de Luz: brilliant! Lots of Blues Brothers and classic soul for us oldies, smattered with newer numbers that the kids knew, but the combination worked for everybody. There was a group dancing rock and roll who appeared to have come just to boogie. The singers are young and dynamic, great energy and harmonies, and four horns for the full soul band effect. They kept if up for more than two hours, with the singers coming down into the crowd at the end to get people singing along and dancing. Fabulous evening and a great discovery."

"I just wanted to say a huge and heartfelt thank you, from Matt and I, for coming to play at our wedding. The band were completely outstanding, truly incredible and a perfect party starter for our wonderful day! Our friends and family couldn't get enough of them and were so complimentary - everyone said how much they loved the music! And the first dance arrangement was completely magical. Honestly, the performance was perfect from start to finish."

"Incredible! Outdoor Event Activations ! We worked with Sidewalk Crusaders to help us launch an incredible and dynamic community activation on Bloor St in Toronto and was amazing to draw the crowds at TEDxToronto activation and get them involved. It was wonderful to work with the crew and team. We also commissioned the band to activate our Laneway Launch party. It was such an incredible experience and the band was able to really engage the audience from their style of music - very engaging and ubpeat, which was the vibrancy we were seeking for our event. Would be happy to recommend the band for future events!"

"Booking The Ambrassadors is up there with one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. We knew that we wanted a brass band who would bring the energy and get our guests on their feet, but these guys were better than we could have hoped for. From the very beginning they were brilliant with communication, accommodated any requests we had for the set list and were just in general a pleasure to deal with. And then on the day they absolutely blew us away. Our guests couldn't say enough good things about them - their only complaint was that they were so tired at the end of the night, because they couldn't bear to leave the dancefloor at any point that the guys were performing! They matched our energy perfectly and finished off a pretty perfect day with a bang."

"We were lucky enough to hire the Party Band with Singer to perform at our wedding, and they were brilliant. From the initial enquiry, to the booking, to the actual day, it was all easy and stress free. All our guests were so complimentary and thoroughly enjoyed the performance, and the band fully vindicated our decision to not have a DJ. Gabriel was very considerate to ask if there were any songs from the set list we definitely wanted to be played, or avoided, and also kind enough to play our own playlist through their speakers between sets. I wouldn't hesitate to hire the band in the future for any other special occasion/event, and would recommend them to everyone"

" 5 out of 5 We were all really impressed with the transformation of our Mess into a Höfbrauhaus! The band were amazing and fully embraced our split Oktoberfest/Halloween theme. Highly recommended! "

"The band was incredible. They were hired to perform during a charity basketball game and everyone loved them. Brandon is very responsive and even accommodated a few special songs that I wanted the band to play. Will definitely be using them at all my events in the future."
