"Raphael and the Blue Moon Jazz trio played at our wedding ceremony and reception in Tuscany in October. The responsiveness during the planning could not be faulted and their flexibility in being able to learn our specified songs for during the ceremony was great. They had a lovely sound – just the style of jazz that we enjoy – and played a number of sets based on our preferences. They also played some more contemporary songs in a jazz style during the ceremony. They integrated into the ceremony without any hassle and were in fact the easiest of all the many parts of the wedding to organise. I would certainly recommend Raphael and the Blue Moon Quartet for any wedding or function – such a nice group of very talented people and they made our day truly memorable! "

"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."

"The Italian Soul & Jazz Band absolutely made our reception in Lake Como magical. Their performance was vibrant, soulful, and seamlessly adapted to every moment of the evening. The professionalism and passion they brought left everyone speechless. We couldn’t have asked for more!"

"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"

"We chose the acoustic duo Just the Two of Us for our wedding and were very happy with our decision. Angelo and Chiara were professional and helpful from the start, helping us in selecting the right music for the event. Their live performance created a lovely atmosphere and was well-received by our guests. A great choice for anyone looking for elegant and unobtrusive live music. "

"These guys are absolutely fantastic,from the beginning we could be involved in choosing the songs from their amazing repertoire. Even down to the DJ set! Laura and the guys also learned a new song for our first dance which they absolutely smashed!
Our guests had a ball, we have a lot of friends and family who are musicians and they were blown away by these guys. Insane energy and very professional to deal with! Thank you guys for an amazing night one of our best decisions!"

"Jason's group performed wonderfully at the end year corporate Gig. It was the first time we hosted with a band, we often get a DJ to play music. The music they played was amazing and very hip I recommend him for future gigs."

"As a musician myself, I have to say that the Marmitas band is made up of true professionals who not only know their job, but do it flawlessly. Great job guys!"

"Whether as MD, arranger or instrumentalist (or as is often the case, all three), Simon brings a level of rock-solid professionalism that makes everything a pleasure. His exceptional talents as an instrumentalist go without saying. But he is a dependable and hugely reassuring presence onstage and great fun off it. A real asset to any ensemble.

"AMAZING! We changed our plans from having a DJ to a band with 1 week to go for our wedding in June 2021! Me and my Husband have incredibly different tastes in music so was very skeptical about selecting a band! As soon as I sent a request, Phil was straight on the phone, talking us through all the details and immediately made me feel confident about our choice! I even tried my luck at asking them to sing our first dance song.. within a week they learnt it and performed it at the wedding and It was just incredible! Every single wedding guest commented how brilliant the band were! From start of the set to the end they were faultless! I can’t recommend them enough!"

"We particularly wanted a soul band and during our seemingly endless search of bands we were just drawn to The Soul Department! They played at our evening wedding reception earlier this month. Good reviews usually state pros and cons however, the band genuinely do not have any cons! They were professional from the onset, sounded incredible, looked incredible, great repertoire, were brilliant fun and had our wedding party rockin'!!! From start to finish they had our guests on their feet, we loved every minute! Exactly what we wanted! Cannot recommend these guys enough, worth their weight in gold, definitely will book them again, no question!! Thank you, you were amazing!! Melanie Cook xx"
