The perfect wedding band

We want to say a massive thank you for the mind-blowing performance at our wedding. Seriously, you guys absolutely smashed it and kept the party vibe going. You are all super talented and that cover of Grow As We Go was absolutely incredible. It gave us goosebumps and made us cry. A perfect combo. And it wasn't just the sentimental moments that got us. You had everyone on their feet dancing. The way you read the crowd and picked the perfect songs was spot on. Our guests can't stop going on about how amazing the music was.

I would like to thank you with all our heart...

Charlotte and I would like to thank you with all our heart for performing at our wedding. You are all talented musicians and it was a real pleasure to listen to such a tight and professional band. You provided the exact atmosphere that we were after and were such a joy to work with. We were honoured that you were able to travel down to us. We will both speak highly of you and recommend your services should we encounter anyone looking to book a band for an event or function in the future.

I would definitely recommend them

The Smooth Criminals performed at our wedding and were amazing! Communication prior to the day was great, everything was on time and well organised. They started by performing our first dance song and then did 2 x 1 hour sets for us. The dance floor was full and everyone was loving the music and the energy. We were begging for more when they had to finish. It was exactly what we wanted!! I would definitely recommend them Amy & Dave, Wedding Reception, Thorpe Garden, Tamworth, September 2023.

You were absolutely fantastic

Hi James, Thanks so much for the music at our wedding reception the other week. You were absolutely fantastic and all our guests had a great time. I trust that all was ok with the changing room and catering etc, Hope you managed to get pizzas too. Thanks as well for accommodating us in the first song. We loved it and hopefully it served the purpose of getting everyone dancing without denting your professional pride too much. Joel and Anna

The band were absolutely brilliant!

Hi James Fin and I wanted to say a huge thank you for Saturday. The band were absolutely brilliant and the first dance went swimmingly. I can totally see now we were overthinking everything on the music and could have just left it all to you. Wonderful entertainment and so many of our guests commented what a great band you were….and could we tell them who you were and where to find you. Thanks for making it such a great night. Once again thanks very much.

You were wonderful!

Hi all, Just a note to say a massive thank you for your performance on Saturday night. You were wonderful, and induced an excellent showing on the dance floor! All our guests were super impressed, and thank you for taking so many requests - everyone was chuffed that 'their song' was played. Also, thank you for being so flexible when we ran late. Look forward to seeing you again at Jess and Ben's wedding in August next year! BW, Caroline and Harry Elmore Court, Gloucestershire

A massive thank you!

Hi James, I just wanted to say a massive thank you for playing at our wedding on Wednesday! We were blown away by how good you all were, and you really made our first dance song so special. Everyone came up to us signing your praises, you were unforgettable! You really made the evening so, so amazing, thank you again. I think you may have recruited a few more weddings from it too - I’ve passed your details onto my sister who is getting married next September! Kind Regards, Katie

Everyone there commented how amazing the band was

Hi James, just a quick note before we fly on honeymoon, last night was brilliant, the band really made it a great end to the night. Literally everyone there commented how amazing the band was. Thanks! Just a quick final ask, but could you send across your set list, I'd like to have it to remind us of the songs on the night. Also, if you can email any photos you have, or I can pick them up if you're posting any on your Facebook page. Also, massive thanks for making the George Ezra song happen - Claire loved it. Thanks again
