The Mini Big Band absolutely made our wedding. From the moment they started playing, the dance floor at our venue was buzzing—and it honestly never emptied all night.

Their modern swing sound was such a hit with everyone, and every song felt perfectly chosen and brilliantly performed.

The band sounded incredible in our venue. The music filled the space beautifully without ever feeling overwhelming. You could feel the joy and talent coming from the band, and it was infectious. We lost count of how many guests told us how much they loved the music and how amazing the band was.

If you want a band that brings incredible sound, endless energy, and an unforgettable atmosphere, The Mini Big Band is it. We couldn’t recommend them more highly—they turned our wedding into one huge celebration and kept us dancing right to the night!

Amazing band. The dancefloor was full from the start till the end of the evening. The Mini Big Band were awesome at our daughter’s wedding. The jazz trio were also outstanding.I’d highly recommend them for weddings and special occasions.

They brought the wow factor to our wedding day, going above and beyond. Even learning a sax solo for our first dance ‘INXS – Never tear us apart’

The chillest people, best performance we could’ve asked for and an absolute vibe.

The mini big band performed at our wedding and were absolutely brilliant. Not only did they make a fantastic sound and got everyone dancing all night, but they were also very friendly, professional and went above and beyond. Such as adapting easily when timings went off and rounding up guests for important moments in the day such as the first dance. Thank you for helping make it such a memorable and wonderful day!

Hi Chris,

What can I say? You guys were amazing.

Your music was one of the most talked about parts of the night. Everyone loved listening to you, and the atmosphere you created was incredible. We only wish we’d had more of a chance to dance while you were playing, as the evening flew by so quickly.

Thank you as well for making everything so easy from a communication and planning perspective throughout. We really appreciated it.

And a special thank you for backing our friends for “My Girl” at such short notice. It ended up feeling incredibly special and personal for the father/daughter dance, and we’re very grateful for how you all made it come together.

It was such a memorable evening for us. We’re so grateful you were part of it.

With very best wishes,

Tahani & Stephen

Tom and Amy’s stunning Yorkshire wedding.

We had The Mini Big Band play at our wedding reception last August and honestly… they were incredible. We’re still getting compliments from our guests nearly a year later!

They kicked off the evening perfectly and instantly created such a brilliant atmosphere, within minutes, they had everyone up dancing (even the ones we never expected to see on the dance floor!). Their set completely set the tone for the night and brought this amazing energy that carried right through to the end.

They were also super lovely to deal with in the lead-up — really responsive and professional, but also relaxed and friendly, which made everything easier on the day.

If you’re thinking about booking them, do it! You won’t regret it. We only wish we had another event big enough to book them again!

Philippa and Thomas’ Yorkshire Wedding.

The Mini Big Band played for our wedding this summer and were absolutely brilliant. We had a jazz trio playing during the canapes and then the whole band playing the rest of the evening. They were fantastic- great choice of music and performed brilliantly. They were very organised and stayed in touch throughout the build up to the wedding . Very much recommend them, Philippa and Thomas

Dear Chris and the Mini Big Band,

I hope this email finds you well. I wanted to take a moment to express our deepest gratitude for the outstanding performance you delivered at our wedding.

You truly brought our celebration to life. Your music created an electric atmosphere that kept our guests dancing and smiling all night long. Many of our friends and family have told us that your performance was the highlight of the evening, and we couldn’t agree more.

From the moment we first heard you play, we knew you were the perfect choice for our special day. You not only met but exceeded all of our expectations. Your talent, energy, and ability to read the crowd were outstanding, and you made our reception unforgettable.

We especially appreciated your willingness to learn and perform our special song. It meant the world to us and made that moment incredibly personal and memorable.

Thank you once again for sharing your incredible talent with us and for being such an important part of our wedding day. We will always remember the joy and excitement you brought to our celebration, and we will be sure to recommend you to anyone looking for an amazing band.

We are sorry we didn’t have a chance to speak with you more during the wedding. The day was so busy, and our biggest regret is not being able to give you a proper thank you and a hug in person.

Grazie di cuore per aver reso il nostro matrimonio indimenticabile!

Grazie mille per tutto!!!!

Gabriella and Seb ❤️❤️❤️
