“Thank you so much. Darling Buds were so brilliant. The music was excellent and the choice of songs was brilliant. They were a joy to have and really brought the evening together. Plus our first dance was made so much more special by them playing it. So please thank them from us for all of their hard work.”

“I just wanted to ping you a note, and ask you to pass on our sincere gratitude to the band, as I don't think we really got a chance to properly thank them after they had finished. They were absolutely fantastic and everyone has raved about how great they were. The dancefloor was absolutely rocking! Also the performance of our first dance was literally perfect and we couldn't have asked for more. It will be something we will never forget. So massive thanks to them all!”

"We just wanted to say how fantastic the band were on Saturday - everyone loved them and we had so many comments about how amazing they were! They were perfect for our wedding and I'm sure you'll be getting calls from some of our guests who were asking for their details. Thanks again.”
