We had some amazing feedback.

Thank you both so much for providing a superb afternoon of music and entertainment - all of our guests loved you guys and we had some amazing feedback. And thanks for pursuing through the rain, then torrential rain and onto the sunshine - just in time for a bit of Mr Marley too. I hope to be able to watch you play again some day soon... Take care and thanks again.

The double bass is superb and the lead singers voice is exceptional

We booked The Winklepickers as a duo for an early evening slot in our festival style wedding & they didn't disappoint. Ben was very good to deal with from the outset & made us very comfortable in the choice we made. The double bass is superb and the lead singers voice is exceptional - many of the guests commented to me about it. Next time I'll have to see the full band line up! Thanks again for help make wedstock a day for us to remember. Krissy & Mike :)

We loved every minute of it.

Me and the 'wife' would like to say thanks so much, we were so pleased with the entertainment you supplied. I'm pretty sure all the guests had a great time too. You will certainly get our recommendations and hope the drive home was ok and you didn't get home too late. Thanks again Ben, we loved every minute of it.

We had endless feedback from our guests on how good they sounded

The Winklepickers gave an outstanding performance at our engagement party and were instrumental in creating the great atmosphere enjoyed by all. Their professionalism was displayed throughout and we had endless feedback from our guests on how good they sounded. Everyone was impressed by them. They compliment each other perfectly and we have of course requested them to play at our wedding later this year!

You guys made the wedding.

You guys made the wedding. Absolutely fantastic. I am only sorry that I did not come and talk to you all earlier but I understand you spoke to luke and some of the family quite a bit. You had heaps of compliments and several people taking down your name. I hope the heat was not too unbearable and I am pleased they finally found you umbrellas. Thank you for the well wishes. Best of luck with everything. Maybe see you at the next wedding!

They quickly got people up and dancing and they made the party for us.

We really want to thank the Winklepickers for being such a great band for our wedding on 3rd August. They are truly excellent musicians and performers. The lead singer can really sing and each member of the band has real talent. They quickly got people up and dancing and they made the party for us. They also managed to appeal to all of the different generations and they mainly played well known, feel good songs which everyone liked (they also weren't too cheesy, however!). The first dance song we requested (Faith no more, This Guy's in Love with You) was a fantastic cover. The Winklepickers were great to deal with, from the first e-mail, always responding quickly to queries. They turned up on the day exactly when they said they would to set up and they were helpful, friendly, organised and flexible throughout the evening. Thanks again guys!
