Reviews of Bands & Ensembles

Vintage Strings
"Unbelievable!! We had Vintage Strings come to play for our wedding ceremony and during our drinks reception. Communication was amazing and they even learned new songs for us to have exactly what we wanted for the entrance music, and nothing was too much trouble. They sounded absolutely beautiful and we had nothing but compliments, we are hoping to have them again in the future for other events! Thank you again 🩷"

Charlotte - Wedding
Florian & Ezio
"Florian & Ezio were fantastic on our wedding day! They added a lovely atmosphere to the ceremony. They even learned a special request for us, which meant a lot. Many of our guests commented on how talented they were – we couldn’t have asked for better!"

Sarah & Tom - Wedding
The Newland Seekers
"Thank you very much Newland Seekers for playing at our Cricket Dinner. Your music really made the evening - a great selection to which everyone enjoyed dancing. I asked Bea (the reverend) if dancing was okay in the church. She said, God would be pleased. Thank you again. Hope you will be able to play again in June for our match"

Rodney Bicton - Newland Cricket Club Annual Dinner Dance
Delta Band UK
"We booked the Delta Band for our wedding in September, they were amazing! Guests danced all night and we had so many people mention to us how brilliant the band were. One of my favourite moments from our wedding was our first dance (yet this was the part I was dreading!), the band could not have performed our first dance more perfectly. We asked them to slow down the first couple of verses of the song we wanted and it was just perfect. I could not recommend Delta Band more and will definitely be booking them again in future."

"These amazing ladies sang at The Fordwich Arms 1940’s leaving party at the weekend and we’re incredible ! Thank you ladies ! X"

Louise Kathleen - 1940s event
Magenta Music | Acoustic Duo
"Toby and Laura not only bought us such joy with their fabulous voices they got high praise from our friends and family at my husbands 70th birthday celebration. We had a smallish garden party in our own home. From music choices as we planned to keeping in touch along the way they were brilliant. A joyful duo and we were bowled over by them. 🥰 They were certainly part of our family by the time they left us! Such a fun day all round. "

Frequently asked questions

You should always check whether or not your act is prepared to play outdoors. It’s sometimes not possible for acts that use a lot of electronic equipment to perform anywhere where it might rain.If the act is happy to perform outdoors you should plan to have electrical outlets close to the performance area and provide a flat surface as well as a cover in case of rain.
Each event is different but the typical performance time for bands & ensembles is 2 x 45 minutes sets within a 2 hours period. Some acts are happy to play longer sets or additional sets. Often, breaks can be negotiated but you should be aware that the price may increase if the musicians need to be onsite for a longer period of time.
Booking bands & ensembles as early as possible increases the chance of securing their availability on your event date, particularly during busy times of the year. However, many acts also accept last minute bookings, and we have successfully arranged performances for clients with just a few hours' notice.
Most bands & ensembles are self-contained and provide their own sound equipment which is suitable for typical situations. If your event is to be held in a large venue, or you have more than 300 guests, we recommend that additional sound equipment should be used. Always ask your act about their sound system requirements. Some bands & ensembles have lighting systems, but most usually will charge extra for this or recommend a third party supplier for you to use.
Frequently asked questions about Bands & Ensembles, how to register and how results are ordered are in the help & FAQs.
