The Supersonics
"We had the Supersonics play at our wedding and they were absolutely amazing. From the start, they were friendly, kind, cool, and incredibly easy to work with. Pierre was especially great to organize with, and both my wife Nika and I had such a good experience with the whole team.
They immediately understood the vibe we wanted. They brought such a great atmosphere to the wedding — fun, elegant, high-energy, and professional without ever feeling stiff. You can tell they really know weddings: they understand the timing, the flow of the evening, and what needs to happen without needing constant direction. They guided us when needed, gave us cues for entrances, moved naturally through the event, and just knew how to keep everything running smoothly.
During the party, they went table to table, got people standing, singing, dancing, and fully involved. They sounded great, had amazing energy, looked great, and made the whole night feel alive. They are exactly the kind of band you want at a wedding: professionals who know what they’re doing, know how to read the room, and know how to get people celebrating.
We would highly recommend the Supersonics to anyone looking for a wedding band that is talented, experienced, easy to work with, and genuinely fun to have around."

Quinteto Boemio
"Quinteto Boemio is a MUST HAVE at your wedding or event!! We had them for our wedding and guests were non-stop raving about how amazing and talented they are. From the vocals to the instrumentals, they covered all the songs we wanted them to and some and got everyone out on the dance floor. It was great for all ages of our guests. 10/10 recommend!!
João is also amazing to work with, so friendly, helpful, flexible and put up with all my questions :)."
Band Saptham
"A fantastic team of superbly talented artists, and what a great performance! Rakhi's voice and singing stand shoulder to shoulder with the original recordings, capturing every nuance and emotion of the songs. The whole band was tight, professional, and clearly passionate about their music. They kept the audience engaged from start to finish. Highly recommended for any event"
Ginger & Tonic
"The last show we saw was Gold Dust Woman, but I have been to almost all the shows and they keep getting better. Beautiful Charlotte and the talented band are such a great secret. Don't tell all the tourists! Alexa and I love squeezing into the Blue Door, it feels like a French cabaret, only funnier!! I always have a good buzzy earworm stuck in my head for days. Keep up the good work G&T xx 11 out of 10!!"
