Review Centre: Dixieland Bands

"I planned a surprise 40th birthday for my husband from out of state and I knew I definitely wanted a band, but not being from that area made it a challenge. I have to say hiring Dennis and The Way band was the best decision I made for that party. They were so good we even paid for an extra hour! We were singing karaoke at the end, the kids were learning the drums and everyone was just having a blast. I would hands down hire them again and recommend them to anyone."

"Thank you so much for providing such wonderful music for the party! Everyone has been saying what fun it was with your live music and it really set the scene. The pudding was a bit late but everyone was so happy listening to you. We especially appreciated the improvisation over the Gatsby film tunes which sounded amazing! It really made the party go with a swing."

"Hi Jonathan. It was lovely to meet you too – thank you so much for your amazing performances throughout the day and for your professionalism and help throughout the whole booking process. I’ve left you a review on Google (5 starts of course!) I hope it’s ok. Thanks for sharing the social content from yesterday, the Northern social team tagged you in their Instagram stories. I hope we get to work together again soon, we will definitely be in touch again when the opportunity comes up to book a band for an event. Best wishes"

"Brian was absolutely perfect for our wedding. As my partner and I have totally different tastes, we wanted something that incorporated both of us and Brian was 100% willing to do that - he played jazz piano during our brunch reception, and then transitioned into classic party DJ music for the later portion of the reception. He took all of our requests very well, and was very easy to work with. When some guests made requests that went against our desires (line dances, gross!), Brian thoughtfully checked in with us before playing them, and of course he maintained the dance vibe of the party. He is adaptable, friendly, easy to work with, very good as a musician, professional, and "budget-friendly." I can't recommend him enough. "

"Just FM played us down the aisle at our wedding and then performed for two hours whilst we had antipasti and drinks in Assisi, Umbria. They were an absolute joy from start to finish. The music was fantastic and their interactions with my wife and I and all of our guests was just so wonderful. At one point I looked over and they were playing to and dancing with a big crowd of our guests, at another moment they were serenading my wife and I, and when we were introduced to dinner they played in and around our tables as we danced and took photos with our tables. I cannot tell you how happy just FM made us all and how extra special they made our day. They are truly amazing musicians and charming, dapper gentlemen. Thank you Just FM, we loved it and wish we could go back in time to experience it all again! "

"Angelo, Pablo and the band were amazing. They Made such a happy atmosphere, their performance really set the tone for a joyous and festive reception. They interacted with our guests, were responsive to the dancing. The communication was very easy, even being in completely different parts of the world. You won’t regret adding them to your party! "
