"Niklas on the saxophone created a wonderful atmosphere during the first get-together, never intrusive, but pleasantly accompanying, harmoniously enveloping (it's hard to describe, you just have to feel it). The transition to DJ Jakob was seamless. And he rocked us so hard that even the most reluctant dancers were dancing their feet off. Super – I've rarely experienced such a great atmosphere!"

"Midé provided the music for our wedding at Kew Gardens (London) Nash Conservatory (max capacity 200). It was his magical voice and his acoustic guitar. He did acoustic renditions of many popular songs whilst the guests were arriving and then did a beautiful rendition of “Otis Redding – That’s how strong my love is” as my wife walked down the aisle. He also led us in singing “Al Green – Let’s stay together” as a congregation. During the whole period running up to the wedding he was easily contactable via email and prompt in his response. It felt very collaborative, so that he could showcase his talents to fullest on the day, but in the style that we wanted. On the day he was as advertised and more. He did his sound check with no fuss, was so warm and welcoming with both myself and my wife. All the guests were in awe of him and kept mentioning how beautiful his performance was. He really elevated the ceremony in a way we couldn't have imagined. Our guest number was 180 people, but he would have been able to impress a whole stadium full! We couldn’t recommend him enough. It took a lot of searching to find him but it was worth the effort."

"We hired naked stereo for our wedding party and we are already planning a first anniversary party so we can hire them again; they literally made our day. Exceptional talent, amazing atmosphere and really accomodating. Could not have asked for any more. Already recommending this amazing duo to anyone who will listen!"

"Jazzcentrale provided the musical entertainment for Moree Gelderblom Advocaten's company party. The contact beforehand was very pleasant, and the musical entertainment for the evening was exactly what we had envisioned. Thank you!"

"Ant was an integral part of our wedding and such fun to work with. He listened to exactly what we were after and even though our first dance wasn't already in his repertoire, he more than happily went away and came up with a beautiful arrangement for our big day. I've had the pleasure of seeing Ant play both covers and his own original material and love his work. He has a truly wonderful voice which pulls you in. On top of it all, he was just a lovely bloke to work with. Thanks for making our day complete Ant! "

"A friendly, professional and highly entertaining band. Had everyone up dancing on the first song and kept them going to the end of the event. Easy to work with and accommodating when the event was running behind schedule pushing back the bands start time. We all had great fun!"

I am not a song writer I am an Architect, Artist, Poet, Cartoonist and father of 5 great kids and grandfather to 4 beautiful grandkids. I am excited that you are getting back to your mission of music with a message."

"Raphael and his band played at our wedding last week and they were phenomenal! During the planning process, Raphael was very responsive and helpful, and such a pleasure to work with. The band played for our aperitivo and dinner, and our guests are still telling us how much they loved the music. They created a classy environment for our wedding and played the perfect music for us. We were able to make requests as well which they played. Blue moon jazz band was one of the best parts of our night and we highly recommend them for anyone getting married in Italy!"

"When we were looking for the band for our wedding, we wanted a band that had a wide variety of songs from different eras in their repertoire with the ability to perform big powerful ballads and that is exactly what we go with W!RED. As soon as we heard Sue’s incredible voice. We knew they were the band for us and booked them. As soon as we got a couple of months of the wedding I dropped Sue a message. She called me back and was really helpful and reassuring and put me in touch with another member of the band Martin. We arranged a call to go over the details. Martin was friendly and welcoming straight away. Never having booked a band before we didn’t know how much or how little we’d need to be involved, but Martin simply went through a few details with us and then handled the rest. Prior to our wedding Martin took the trouble to edit a pre-recorded dedication. Together with our choice of first dance songs, so that it all went smoothly on the night. He also sent over their set list so we could make some requests. On the night, the band set-up quickly and without fuss and had a playlist on as early as they could to get our guests warmed up. Martin had a quick chat with me about timings for the evening for our cake cutting and first dance, then as soon as that was complete they went straight into their sets and had everyone up on the dance floor for the rest of the night, even finishing with a couple of encores. They were then good enough to leave a playlist running whilst they packed away. Meaning that we had music right up to the end of the evening. Everybody in the band was friendly and helpful. Particularly Martin. That’s not to mention that they are also frankly brilliant at what they do. Sues’s voice is incredible and recordings we heard before as good as they are don’t do it justice. Many guest commented on how much they enjoyed the performance. They even got the seal of approval from a few people I know who are musically hard to please. A brilliant night, enhanced by W!RED. We would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone "

"They were the perfect fit for our wedding. They gauged the mood of the crowd brilliantly and had everyone dancing away until the early hours. Alice was so friendly and clear with her comms in the lead-up to our big day meaning we were so relaxed having her singing at both the ceremony and reception. Couldn't recommend them any higher!"

"Brilliant, really great, amazing, so good, so lovely to have a live band, couldn't have asked for better. We have never had Hifi Driveby before but straight away I knew they would be good. They contacted me straight away by phone and asked what we wanted. I explained and everything I wished for was granted. They called my daughter to ask for her first dance and although they didn't have it on their list they learn it for the wedding and sang it amazingly. They had a great list of good songs that everyone enjoyed and joined in. The last guests didn't want to leave the dance floor and they kindly sang a few more. Highly recommended."
