Thanks for the memories guys!!”

“We will definitely work with you again, love your work! Love the guys attitudes, obviously you are all epic musicians, thank you!”
Abi, Daze Entertainment

“Firstly, the set up was so smooth and efficient. It caused no disruption even though all guests were in the room at the time – in fact it was quite fun to watch (and hear the occasional sound check). We absolutely loved the music – having great music was a key part of our wedding dream, so we thought a lot about it. The musicians were fantastic and all the covers were so good, along with some fab solos. The sound system and levels were superb (I’m not sure how you managed it) – the music completely filled the barn and sounded superb. For us, the absolute key was – the music it was irresistible to dance to and the atmosphere was just spot on! Several people came and told us on the night how much they loved the band, and our photographer said it was the best wedding band he’d ever seen…!

Overall, everything exceeded our (high!) expectations! We’ll happily send across some photos once we receive them if there are any particularly good shots of you guys – let me know if that would be helpful.

Thanks again, and hope you guys continue to entertain for many years to come!”
Dave & Sian, Epping

“I just wanted to say thank you so much for performing on our wedding day. It was a real highlight of the day and so many of our guests commented on how good you were, it is something we will remember forever!”
Elli and Edd, Staffordshire

“You guys were brilliant, and we’re looking forward to the final edit.”
Emma Pople, The Big Fat Quiz of Everything

“Thanks for everything. You were great. Until next year!”
Anton, Flower Farm

“Thank you once again for your amazing performances over the month at Thorpe Park Oktoberfest.”
Sam Gray, Thorpe Park

“We recently had the pleasure of The City Street Band at my husband’s 40th, and they were absolutely first rate! The music was perfect for a street party (especially in these socially distanced times) the band were all extremely nice as we;; as professional and super accommodating of the fact the party was a surprise, not arriving until the last minute and waiting discretely around the corner until needed! The music vibe was exactly what we’d been looking for, upbeat and uplifting and all our guests, as well as many neighbours from far and wide thoroughly enjoyed the performance, with several notes through our door after the event to say so. We especially loved the renditions of 80s and more recent pop classics, but their entire repertoire was spot on. We’d highly recommend the band for any event and would love to use them again ourselves.”
Ellie Dormer

“The band was great! People loved them, thank you, they were amazing.”
Helena, Newbury Racecourse

Rebecca

“I thought the set was brilliant. Exactly what we were hoping for”
Sam

“Thank you so much to you and all the band for an amazing performance at our wedding. You were sensational, and absolutely lovely to deal with. We loved how you made the parade so perfect, and everyone was raving about your set in the walled garden – but then you took it up a notch (or three) later on and got everyone dancing. It was brilliant”
Adam and Laura

“Just wanted to say a HUGE thank you for everything you did on our wedding day. Everyone remarked you were the best band they’d ever heard. Safe to say you were an absolute highlight for us and we loved every second of it, you created such an atmosphere and got everyone dancing away.”

James and Lucie

“Thank you again for playing at our wedding. All the guests absolutely loved you guys and it really brought something special to the day”
Ken

“The band were the talk of the wedding reception! Months later, friends are still raving about them. They added a fun, unique edge to the festivities and got the whole party dancing. Amazingly, they were sweet enough to learn and play a particular song that was special to me and my friends, after I contacted them to see if it would be possible. Thanks so much for making our day even more memorable, we had the best time!”
Cat

“Thank you so much! Everybody loved you, we received huge compliments about how good you were.”
Jamie

“This group were amazing – everyone raved about them and they added that something special to our cocktail reception. Weddings sometimes can take a slightly sober turn whilst the bride and groom are being photographed but with The City Street Band entertaining our guests, this was not the case. The atmosphere was buzzing and all of our guests were tapping their feet along to the music. It was absolutely perfect and our day wouldn’t have been as special without them.”
Gemma

We loved it so much, our photographer Murray said it was the best thing he has ever seen at a wedding!”
Edmund

“We were really happy with you guys on the night, it was exactly what we needed to refocus people after we had some issues with the caterer. Everyone commented on the band, it was one of the highlights of the day for our guests. Thanks for being flexible with the last minute playing arrangements also, we would certainly recommend you to friends.”
