Guys you took the roof off at Maleny Manor for Lydia and Ed's wedding! Great night! 5 Star! Everyone was on the dance floor all night.
Kathy
What a wonderful rocking night, you guys were so MUCH fun!!! The bride was trying to explain her day and her thanks the next morning and she was so happy with emotion that she could not get the words out. So we had the happy tears and lots of hugs and kisses. Beautiful people make for amazing events, with even better memories and the staff love a great couple with fabulous personalities and a neat band
Maleny Manor
Thank you for a wonderful show. Everyone is raving about how good you were and I don’t think in all my years of going to the races I have ever seen so many people on the dance floor. Well done. We really appreciate you guys staying later than requested and working around our speeches, auctions etc. We look forward to seeing you again!
Collier International
We certainly wouldn't hesitate booking you guys in a heart beat, or recommending you as well. In fact we already have! We are massive fans 🙂 Many people have asked and raved about how awesome the guys were on the night! We couldn't be happier. The guys certainly made our night and everyone of all ages have commented on how awesome they were. Thank-you for making our night come together magically
Jane and Kris
Matt and I wanted to say a huge thank you to everyone that performed at our wedding. It was a flawless day, and the band was an integral part of our evening. Without them our reception wouldn't have had the fun vibe it did! Everyone asked who you were, commented on how incredible and talented you all were and a few brides to be wanted your details for their own special day. You were all simply amazing. When we get our photos I'd love to write a recommendation and tell everyone just how perfect you made our evening. The past 6 days have brought us nothing but amazing comments regarding your performance; from the waiter saying that a band can make a wedding, and yours was the best he had seen at Sirromet! Through to many prospective brides enquiring, and Matt's own sister who is a wedding planner, who picks her recommendations very carefully and is looking forward to promoting your crew - just a magical team of performers for our magical day, so thank you!
