5 stars - The Marlins are Highly Recommended
Jenny H booked The Marlins for their party • August 2026

“I would highly recommend The Marlins and wouldn’t hesitate to have them back when I turn 60! In the run up to the event, there was much helpful/ reassuring communication, including timing options and repertoire lists for us to choose from. On the night guests commented on the band’s superb performances and much dancing was enjoyed by all (apart from a small contingency of boring ones!)”

From the moment they started playing to the moment they finished, the dance floor was full. All of our guests have complimented their music and talent, saying that it was one of their favourite parts of their wedding day. The band were incredibly progressional, set up and cleared away really seamlessly. The vocals were incredible and musicians are very talented. It was really useful to have a catch up call a few weeks before with Gabriella and we discussed what we wanted the evening to look like and which songs we wanted to prioritise from their set list. Overall, we were so pleased we booked them and would not hesitate to book them again!” Read more

Andy H booked Alexa for their event in Cambridgeshire • July 2026

“The band were great, well received by the crowd, and all communication leading up to the event was clear and professional, which was greatly appreciated.

The only issue was that the performance started approximately 10 minutes later than scheduled and began with a sound check. Given that a two-hour setup period had been requested, I had expected that any sound checks would have been completed during this period, allowing the band to start playing at the agreed time. Overall, the performance was very enjoyable, but I felt it was worth highlighting this point for future events.” Read more
