Alice O booked Brass FX for their wedding in Durham • December 2025

“Brass FX were so well received at the wedding! We had them do a surprise entrance into our wedding breakfast which set the tone of the whole night. From start to finish, they were brilliant. My partner was initially a bit worried about there being no singer but there was absolutely no need to be. Thank you!”

The best wedding band I have ever heard!

5 stars - Velvet Lounge are Highly Recommended
Aby D booked Velvet Lounge for their wedding in Hampshire • December 2025

“We don’t know where to begin. As a wedding planner myself, I have worked with a ton of bands over the past 6 years. I knew for my own wedding, I wanted the music to reflect my husband and I rather than be a ‘classic’ wedding band. We decided we wanted jazzy vibes with gorgeous music you could bob around to with a cocktail in hand. We aren’t big dancers, so this criteria felt perfect for us. We sea...”“We don’t know where to begin. As a wedding planner myself, I have worked with a ton of bands over the past 6 years. I knew for my own wedding, I wanted the music to reflect my husband and I rather than be a ‘classic’ wedding band. We decided we wanted jazzy vibes with gorgeous music you could bob around to with a cocktail in hand. We aren’t big dancers, so this criteria felt perfect for us. We searched online for so many jazz and electro swing bands with an edge, and then we found ‘Velvet Lounge’. Paul the band lead (also on sax) was such a delight - a super fun, friendly and lovely man who gave us tons of information and help in the run up to the wedding. The repertoire of song choices to choose from was excellent, my husband and I enjoyed listening to the full list of songs in the run up to the wedding to create the perfect 3 band sets. Our guest list was mostly friends in their late twenties, and we had our parents and grandparents there too, there was songs from all eras to suit everyone! Paul was quick to respond via email, and always super helpful and friendly. They even asked what style of clothing they should wear, and came dressed head to toe in glitter which was perfect for our Christmas wedding. When the band arrived on the night, they couldn’t have been a more lovely bunch of people. Super chatty, friendly and they almost felt like extra friends at the wedding. They blended in seamlessly and seemed excited to be with us which was so gorgeous. Denquar the lead singer - the most incredible voice and the most beautiful lady we have ever seen! Think smokey luxury whiskey bar vibes jazz style singing. She just blew our minds, along side all of the live instruments, just pure magic. One of mine and Mikes most memorable moment of the day was being taken for couple photos in the evening just outside the room the band were setting up and doing their sound check in. We were mid photo, and Denquar and the band began singing/playing the song ‘A night like this’ and Mike and I just looked at each other wide eyed, with goose bumps with how insane they sounded. We literally couldn’t wait for them to begin performing. We didn’t expect the style of music to be the type that required a ‘official’ dance floor, and as we arent big dancers, we didn’t expect to dance much. However, the moment we heard the band begin to play, us and our entire wedding party came running from the bar to the dance floor. They created the most magical, atmosphere, adding Christmas songs in between songs too. Our wedding party couldn’t believe how good the band were, and I can honestly say I think the band were my favourite part of the entire day. I keep looking for every excuse under the sun to have another celebration and invite the band to play for us again. I cannot recommend Velvet lounge enough! ?? thank you for bringing the most incredible atmosphere to our wedding day. You guys really are just incredible. I will 100% find an excuse to hire Velvet lounge for a personal event one day again!” Read more

Dee is a wonderful presenter and her practical can-do approach to tackling and succeeding in a world-class challenge was truly inspiring! The audience was spellbound. I don't believe we have ever had so many people ask so many questions after a presentation, but Dee took it all in her stride and graciously answered each one...”“We were privileged to have Dee speak to a group of Telstra staff recently.
