“The Arcadias played at our wedding at the start of November this year. From start to finish, they were amazing!! So many guests commented on how great they were, some telling us they were the best band they'd seen at a wedding!! I managed to arrange a surprise song for my husband, and they even let him get up and sing it with them (which he, and everyone else loved!!)

You really kicked the energy into our special day and our packed dance floor

5 stars - Electric Tones are Highly Recommended
Kate A booked Electric Tones for their event

“Wow, where to start with you guys. You were fantastic from the first email right through to the very end of our night. Working in music I was very particular about which band we chose, I think Jonny was going out of his mind listening to all the You Tube clips I was playing him but I knew instantly when I heard your voice Talisha that you were the right band for us.

Working in music I was very particular about which band we chose, I think Jonny was going out of his mind listening to all the You Tube clips I was playing him but I knew instantly when I heard your voice Talisha that you were the right band for us. Such a soulful sound with a tight band behind you, you really kicked the energy into our special day and our packed dance floor was all the proof you needed that you were the perfect choice. I had to leave the dance floor at one point as I was so hot from dancing so much. If anyone is looking for a high energy band with huge talent and amazing organisational skills you really have to look no further. Talisha always got back to us within an hour and was hugely accommodating with our requests and even helped me arrange a special surprise for my new husband. Electric Tones took our wedding to the next level and our guests are still talking about how much fun they had on the dance floor, I am just waiting for another excuse to book you all again!” Read more

Groove Line were superb!

5 stars - The Groove Line are Highly Recommended
Lindsey P booked The Groove Line for their event in North Yorkshire

“The band were fantastic – super professional, really friendly and the students loved them! It was a very tough crowd, (international students always are with a massive range in cultures, preferences and expectations) so it was a relatively small crowd towards the end of the evening. But The Groove Line were superb, they engaged with the audience very well so we were very pleased indeed.

Having the band available to play both acoustic and electric sets was fantastic for breaking up the evening and we had so many compliments from guests about how great they were. The guys were so professional and easy to work with, setting up in good time and staying with us right until the end of the night – they certainly put in an impressive shift! I should mention how special it was that the band learnt a track to play for our first dance and we appreciate that they really went the extra mile. Given that the dancefloor was full for so much of the evening our other guests clearly enjoyed themselves too! Best wishes, Ed and Shelley” Read more

Everyone has been raving about how great the band were - they really did work the crowd so that everyone was happy - from the 70 year olds down to the 6 year olds and most importantly us 30-40 year oldsWe're pretty particular about our music tastes and really didn't want a cheesy 'party' band so trawled through loads before finding Riptide. We're so pleased we did as it was like being at a gig rather than a family party.So on that note, please pass on our heartfelt thanks to the band. In particular for playing two of our requests - Muse's Supermassive Black Hole and Johnny Cash's Jackson - it made our night!” Read more
