Paul and Kayleigh Revely, wedding at The Priory Cottage, Wetherby.

“The Mini Big Band were amazing! They sounded fantastic and really set the tone for the evening of our wedding, encouraging everyone to get up on the dancefloor. The slow songs, the upbeat swing and even Creep by Radiohead got every dancing and singing. After sending some song requests at really short notice we were amazed they had time to learn them and they went down so well with our guests. After seeing you at a friend’s wedding we knew you were the band for us and have had people asking for your details a number of times since. Thank you so much for making our wedding even more incredible!”

Marcia and Daniel’s wedding.

Hi Chris,

Thank you for your email.  It’s quite bonkers to think that our wedding was over 3 months ago now; we’ve actually only just got our photos and video back this week, so have had a lovely time reliving the day.
We were so SO pleased we booked you guys – you made everything so easy for us, and absolutely everyone commented on how amazing it was to have a live big band sound to listen and throw ourselves around to!  Thank you for making our day extra special, and for coming all the way down to perform –  it was a long trip for you all, but you’d never have known, as your energy and fresh musical performances made it seem like you’d just travelled from round the corner, and your singer’s voice was quite spectacular.  Thank you also for fulfilling a long-held ambition of mine – singing with a big band.  It was just the most fun, and if you’re ever in need of a lady croonette to add to your band, you know where I am.
In my husband’s words, you were the icing on an extraordinary cake of a day.  Thank you.
With very best wishes to you all,
Marcia and Daniel

Joe and Emily’s wedding, the photos tell the story.

We’ve just received some amazing photos from Joe and Emily’s wedding in Oxfordshire, which was incredibly.

This wedding had everything including a mad whole room live band karaoke competition across the 4 sections of the room, with the winners taking the biggest bottle of champagne that we have ever seen.  This was a great feature with everyone in the room getting completely involved in an attempt to win.  This was also mixed with some classic sing a long hits which made for an incredible atmosphere.  These pictures really do tell a great story of who fun this was for the band and the guests.

Birthday Party in London.

Chris

Just a short note to give feedback about Mike’s party last Saturday. The band were absolutely brilliant – we danced all night and those over 40 had aching bones the next day! Nobody complained though and loads of lovely emails about the band were received.

For specific feedback I want to say thanks to you for being so organised and professional and choosing a fabulous set.
Thanks to James the sound guy – the access wasn’t easy and it was raining which didn’t help – yet he carried on regardless and set up a fabulous sound experience. The singer was great and you were all lovely and most helpful.

Overall thanks so much for making it such a lovely night

Liz
