"Went to see a friends band play at the Emergenza band competition in Helsinki a few months ago. My buddies did well and made it to the finals. There was one band there though that didn't make it through but that really got under my skin and that was the Pretty Marc. Hadn't heard of them before but these guys were original and had something special to offer. I really enjoyed their show and hope they try out again next year in the same competition. All the best!"

"We opted for the full lineup with the saxophone for our wedding in Tarifa, and it was the best decision we could have made. The sax player coming out into the crowd during the dance tracks gave the whole night an incredible Ibiza club vibe that our guests absolutely loved. It was high energy, super professional, and a brilliant performance from start to finish."

"I can't thank you enough Lucy and Murray for playing at our reception. You really made the evening and so many of our guests came to us to say that they really enjoyed your music and how we had made the right choice for entertainment. Thank you for indulging my love of Take That, learning Rule The World and letting me sing along very loudly!!"

"We couldn’t have asked for a better wedding band! From the very first song to the last dance of the night, they absolutely exceeded every expectation. Their energy, professionalism, and talent kept the dance floor packed all evening, and so many of our guests commented afterward about how amazing the music was. They did a fantastic job reading the crowd and playing the perfect mix of songs for every part of the night — from romantic first dances to high-energy party songs that got everyone on their feet. They sounded incredible live, and their performance added such a fun and memorable atmosphere to our wedding. Beyond the music itself, dealing with the band manager Andrew was an absolute pleasure, he was so professional and went above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect. He even made a site visit with us months in advance to scope out the venue and worked independently with the venue on all the logistics, he was so easy to work with throughout the entire planning process. They were responsive, organized, flexible, and genuinely cared about making our day special. Everything ran smoothly, and they helped make our wedding feel seamless and stress-free. If you’re looking for a wedding band that will wow your guests and create an unforgettable celebration, we highly recommend them. They were honestly one of the best decisions we made for our wedding!""

"After carrying out extensive internet research for a britpop tribute band we choose to book Marblehead Johnson for our wedding and we genuinely couldn't have picked a better band for the occasion. From start to finish the guys had us all up dancing, singing and reminiscing of the 90's era with an array of awesome, hard hitting and incredibly accurate britpop classics. What a fantastic show they put on for us and if only we had been given a pound for every guest who commented on what a great band we had sourced! In addition to their undeniable musical talents, the way that the they dealt with our enquiries and kept us informed throughout the booking process was first class, something that we really appreciated during the stress of organising a wedding. A massive thank you to Marblehead Johnson - we truly hope to see you guys smashing out the tunes again some day."

"We were absolutely over the moon with your service and performance at the Dulwich College 400 Anniversary Black & Blue ball. You all looked very smart, but Rock’n’Roll, in your black shirts and jeans; your setting up and help with the boys’ big band ( kindly letting them use your drum kit and amp) was seamless and last but not least, your sets were outstanding! The song choices were spot on, as you clearly know what gets everyone going. You may remember, we struggled to get the guests to leave the dance floor when the end of the evening was announced. If we hadn’t had to finish at a certain time, due to residential area and license, we would have had you play until daylight! We received many compliments, on your behalf, from guests’ feedback and will not hesitate in booking you again for any future parties. Sarah Pattinson The DC400Ball Committee Below, is a snippet from one of the guests: The band was outstanding (possibly one of the best I have ever heard at these dos) and I danced the rest of the night away – everyone on the dance floor wanted the band to continue when the plug got pulled! And another – The band was SO good, I spent the rest of the night boogie-ing away! The dance floor was rammed and everyone was having such a fantastic time."

"These guys are absolutely amazing! Couldn’t of wished for a better band to play at our event. Really got the party going and the dance floor was full until the end of the night. Originally only contracted until 12am these boys played on through and gave the crowd exactly what they wanted and they loved it!! Great energy, strong singers and floor filler tunes! Look forward to working with you again for future events! Thanks boys!!"

"The Hornbeams were a pleasure to deal with from start to finish - polite, efficient and professional. Many of our guests commented on how great they were and what a beautiful voice Lucy has. All in all, I had no desire or budget for live music but we are so happy that we discovered and booked them, they made our drinks reception complete! Emma & Kieran, Wedding, Crickhowell Thank you again for such a wonderful set yesterday! The music really made our ceremony and so many people have commented on how lovely your set was! "

"House Harmony played at our outdoor wedding (WedFest) in July. The wedding was more of a WedFest with House Harmony performing at the evening session. They were brilliant, and very much enjoyed by us and our guests. As they have a comprehensive playlist to chose from it was easy to pick out lots of favorites. We requested they play 'The Luckiest' by Ben Folds for our first dance, which they played perfectly. Our guests passed on many compliments. We definitely recommend House Harmony. Our wedding day was the best day ever, helped by having House Harmony performing. Thank you all."

" I booked The Indie Thrillers for our PFA 'Band Night', feeling confident that they could satisfy a variety of ages and music tastes. However, I sold tickets to people who had a phlegmatic response to the idea of a 'band night' so was relying The Indie Thrillers to make it enjoyable everyone, and get what I thought may be a challenging audience, to let their hair down! Communication with the guys was great from the outset and the band arrived early to set up. They were familiar with the venue, set up and soundcheck were smooth. When the band began to play, my fears were allayed within the first 10 minutes as most people were up on their feet....within a couple more songs, I could only see 3 people sitting in the whole room. There was a plethora of variety and this excited everyone. Several people were 'popping in for an hour' but at the end of the evening were still there and chanting for more. At the post 'band night' meeting, all the feedback was great and everyone (if they could remember) had a great time. We are hoping to have another band night next year and I hope that we are able to book The Indie Thrillers again. If we do, I think we will have a much more enthusiastic response. Furthermore, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking to hire a cool band. All the best, Terri Dean"

"I want to extend my heartfelt thanks to Klinsmann and all the band members for making our wedding truly unforgettable. Their incredible talent, infectious energy, and absolute professionalism created an amazing atmosphere that had our guests on the dance floor all night. The music was perfect, and their ability to read the crowd was remarkable. If you're looking for a band to make your event unforgettable, look no further—Klinsmann and his team will exceed your expectations in every way. We couldn’t have asked for a better addition to our special day!"

"We booked The Indie Thrillers for our wedding reception and wow these guys were amazing!! Prior to the wedding, communication with the guys was extremely efficient and one less thing to worry about as we knew that they had it all in hand. On the night they played a great mix of songs that had the dance floor rocking from the moment they came on! The guests were all shouting 'more' by the end of the evening and we were even treated to a couple more songs. You can really tell the band love what they do by the energy and passion they showed on the stage, this just added too the whole atmosphere of the night. We are so pleased that we booked them for our wedding and can't thank them enough for their amazing performance!! We are looking forward to seeing Indie Thrillers again at one of their next gigs so we can relive the wedding!!"

"I would highly recommend Taylormade to anyone wanting everyone up on the dance floor as they created a brilliant party atmosphere. We used Taylormade (live band) for our wedding reception in August 2018. Our main aim for the wedding was to have an evening where everyone would celebrate, smile and dance! We certainly got that as I don’t think the dance floor was empty for a moment, everyone asked for more as the band stopped and the DJ set started. People have also commented since at how great the band was. They were professional from start to finish, emailing with detailed thorough responses and getting back to me very quickly with any queries. We also went to watch them in a showcase which was really helpful and helped us to get excited for the wedding day. On the day they arrived with plenty of time to spare, set up without anyone really noticing and then played exactly what we had asked for whilst also taking requests on the night. They’re also really friendly and made us feel at ease on our special day. Definitely worth every penny for brilliant entertainment without the stress that weddings can sometimes bring. Thank you, Taylormade! Lauren and Stuart "
