"We had Big Smoke Brass make a surprise entrance at our wedding just after our ceremony, and they nailed it perfectly, it was everything we imagined and more! All our guests loved it and have been raving about how great you were. We only wish we could have you back to do it all again!"

"Party Hardy with the OPOV Band If I had a dollar for every compliment I received for OPOV Band's performance at my daughter's wedding last Saturday night, I would have had almost enough to pay for the band itself. Which, by the way, was worth every penny I did pay. Typical praise: "Where did you find that band? They were great!" "Best band ever!" "Never danced so much in my life!" "You guys know how to throw a wedding!" This, and more, from wedding guests of all ages and types. Obviously, the bride, the groom, and everyone there had a blast! Thank you, OPOV Band, for your part in making this special evening, one we will never forget!"

"Lizzie was fabulous! She bought the party alive from the moment she started playing! She was so accommodating with the music that we wanted for the party when we were sorting out the playlist and her communication pre-event was very easy. When Lizzie arrived she was a joy to meet and all our guests loved her performance. We are so glad that Lizzie was part of our evening and only wish that she could have stayed at the party for longer! We would certainly recommend her without hesitation and understand that two of our guests are going to try and book Lizzie for their wedding reception next year."

"Such an amazing choir, they warmed the coldest hearts and disarmed our rigid uncles and aunties. Our relatives couldn’t stop dancing."

"The band members, very respectful and responsible, arrived on time and were very professional at all times. But honestly, we felt very disappointed that when contacting this band, we were specific about confirming if they played certain songs, certain artists, including rock and roll songs, which was the main concept of the party including decoration, etc. A party obviously centered on the birthday person for their 80th birthday, and the band played a selection of music that wasn’t what we requested. So, sorry for the honesty, but in that sense, we were very very disappointed. The idea was to hear the birthday person’s favorite songs, and that didn’t happen. That was the main reason we decided to invest in a band instead of going to a nightclub to listen to random music."

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback, and we appreciate your kind words about our professionalism and punctuality.  However, we'd like to respectfully address the concerns raised, as we believe there may have been a misunderstanding about what was agreed upon. Before the booking was confirmed, we provided our complete repertoire of 170 songs so you could review exactly what we perform. When you sent through your song requests, we responded clearly in writing that we could perform around 90% of the songs listed, specifically noting which artists and songs we don't cover, including Roy Orbison, Tony Bennett, and "Piña Colada." The contract was signed after this exchange, confirming mutual understanding of the agreed-upon repertoire. On the day, we delivered exactly what was agreed: approximately 90% of your requested songs, plus additional requests from guests. Guests were dancing and singing along to our performance. Furthermore, the birthday guest himself told us during the event that he was thoroughly enjoying the music, which we also took as a positive sign that we were meeting expectations. We always strive to be flexible and responsive on the day. When asked mid-performance to stop for unplanned moments like the raffle and cake cutting, we simply requested to finish the current song to avoid an abrupt interruption, a standard practice that maintains the flow and professionalism of live music. We regret that the experience didn't meet your expectations despite our clear pre-event communication. If there are specific songs or aspects you'd like to discuss further, we'd welcome the opportunity to clarify offline. We wish your guest all the best for his 80th year. Kind regards, Greg

"25th May 2019 I received a silver-plated business card from a good friend saying that if I have to arrange an unique and special performance for my client I had to call this entertainer. A couple of weeks later I gave Mr. Stooker a call if he was available for a party that would be given by my client during the Grand Prix in Monaco. My client loves magic and has seen many magicians so it's difficult to surprise him with something really special. Mr. Stooker did an amazing job and was the talk of the evening! "
