Hi Chris,

I just wanted to send a quick message to say a huge thank you to you and the guys. We got a huge amount of compliments about how good the band were! I was probably more of a appreciative listener than dancer most of the evening but it sounded huge!

Thank you so much,

Dave

Chris and Rhiannon

Hi Chris! 

As you can imagine, today has been a day of rest😂 but I wanted to email you before the day was out.

We just wanted to say thank you so much for yesterday. As you know, we booked you before we even knew the date or the venue. I wasn’t even sure we’d be able to find anything like a big band for the wedding and it was actually Rhiannon that managed to find you on a Google search. I’m so very glad she did.

Whilst the videos you post are incredible, they still don’t do you all enough justice for how fantastic it is to be able to hear you in person. The sound of just 10 musicians is immense! It was great to be able to have our first dance played you guys, even if we ourselves wobbled through it a little bit!

You were all the highlight of our day (apart from the ceremony of course 😉) and I’m sure you were for many of our other guests. I can’t think of any better way of rounding off an already perfect day. Please pass on our thanks to all of your team.

I think we might have to keep an eye on when you’re playing in the Italian in Leeds to be able to see you at a more public function. 

Thank you so much again,

Chris (and Rhiannon)

Kylee and Jacks stunning wedding at Hawkstone Hall.

What a venue! What a wedding!

It was a pleasure to play for Kylee and Jacks stunning wedding this weekend at the beautiful Hawkstone Hall in Shropshire. This was a UK-USA mix of guests and it was the perfect venue to show our American friends some British history at it’s finest.

We set up in the ballroom which was the perfect setting for The Mini Big Band’s vintage stage set, providing the perfect backdrop for the evening’s celebrations. The evening started with Kylee and Jacks’s amazing first dance (check out our social media for video!!) which kickstarted afull dance floor all night long.

So many smiles. So much laughter. We had a blast and it was a pleasure to play for such a lovely couple and all of their guests.

All the best guys! Love the MBB x

Grace and Andrews wedding – Cotswolds

Well, what an experience having the Mini Big Band play at our wedding in the Cotswolds! Each and every one of our guests agreed that they were the highlight of the night, and that certainly rings true for us as well!

In addition to the brilliant sets they played, they were so easy to work with on the night, and their flexibility and guidance as to when we should start up for the second set in particular made our lives as easy as possible.

I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a special live music experience for an event, and I truly hope that I’m lucky enough to see them play again in the near future!

Grace and Andrew’s Wedding. Bringing New York to the Cotswolds!

It’s been so nice, (on a cold January day) to sit and look through Andrew and Grace’s stunning wedding photos, taken at the beautiful Cowley Manor at the height of the British Summer! A beautiful flashback to one of the nicest, smiliest, happiest weddings we’ve had the pleasure of doing.

Andrew and Grace live in New York however they were keen to return to Andrews’s homeland for the wedding and to show the Americans just how stunning the UK can be on a beautiful summer’s day. The Cotswolds didn’t disappoint.

You guys were a lot of fun! The dance floor was packed all night long and it was full of smiles and laughter. This could have had something to do with the largest amount of espresso martinis we’ve ever seen (bravo bar staff!)

It was a pleasure to be part of your day guys! All the best from the MBBx
