"We just had to write, to express our enormous gratitude to both you and the band, for helping to make our wedding day one of the greatest days of our lives.
"On arrival you were all both professional and friendly, setting up quickly, without any fuss, and immaculately dressed.
"From the moment you started playing everyone was drawn to the beautiful sound of jazz filling the room and even though nervous the sound relaxed the both of us, who just wanted to get through the first dance. The first dance arrived in the form of Cheek To Cheek and all our fears drifted away when, as promised you played the tune at a tempo that us two novice Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers were able to dance to. After this everyone joined in, dancing to familiar tunes, some singing along (not always in tune and sometimes with their own lyrics), having a thoroughly good time, moving my niece who is only 8 to say to me that she thought you were really cool.
"The thing that really made it for us was that you guys seemed to be having a really good time as well.
"The next day we received nothing but compliments, from both our guests and from the hotel and their staff regarding you and the band, with the highest accolade being that you were the best band that had ever played at The Waterside Inn. The hotel has commented that you will now be recommended to everyone wishing to hire a band to perform there.
"We would just lastly like to say good luck to you and the guys in the future and that we will have no problem recommending you to anyone looking to hire a great band.
"Many thanks"
Mr & Mrs Suleiman (Jamal & Carol), August 2005
"You guys were loved by all that came, and were a refreshing change to the normal Wedding DJ...."
Lance Roberts, August 2005
"We had a brilliant time and everyone has been commenting on you, so just wanted to pass ours and their thanks to you and your band."
Nic Ranford, August 2005
"My friend Nicki is over from England for a few weeks and we have been reminiscing about the party. I have had lots of messages from people saying how much they enjoyed it, especially the music! Thanks again for making it such a special day."
Sue Davis, July 2005
"Thank you again for coming up to Birmingham and playing at our wedding, the music you chose and played was perfect for the type of celebration we wanted. Please could you also pass on our regards and thanks to the rest of the band."
