D Ayres - wedding
"The band were absolutely wonderful, they sounded and looked fantastic. Despite the pressures for me of the evening, their wonderful music enabled me to actually enjoy the whole thing; the dance floor was packed all of the time and they could not have been better. Many thanks therefore to you and to them." Bembridge Yacht Club, Isle of Wight
"The band (78RPM) added a real touch of class to our wedding reception. They arrived promptly and set up in no time at all. They were both flexible and professional. The male vocalist was amazing and the band leader guided them effortlessly through 3 sets of music varying from lively danceable swing to nice and relaxed easy listening. All the age groups at the wedding absolutely raved about the band and I am still getting calls from friends and family requesting details so they too can hire them. They truly were the icing on the (wedding reception) cake. Thank you all."
Martin and Karen Baker.
"A big thank you to your band! The evening, thanks in no small measure to you and your friends, was magical. The band was ideal: not only did you have the right repertoire but, clearly, you have the experience to pace the music to the spirit of the evening, to build on the obvious enjoyment of the dancers. Everybody commented on the excellence of the evening! And special thanks should go to your singer – she had a very special presence and really outstanding voice! We wish her a very long and successful career."
Jack Attas
"I felt I was taking a risk in not hearing 78rpm prior to our wedding, but the risk was well worth taking. Awesome musicians, great playlist - they even took the time to learn the song we wanted for our first dance. I would both recommend and book again. If I saw they were playing a local venue, I'd be there in a shot."
Anthony Davies
"You pitched the mood just right - background music for canapes: and then really helping the party go with a swing, from the first dance onwards. The guests loved it and 78rpm is getting regular and glowing mentions in the thank you letters. Weddings need that ingredient "x" to lift off - and 78rpm really DID provide it; creating the best atmosphere. Thank you all for your professionalism and, most of all, for the music. In all senses, it made our wedding day go with a swing!"
Christian Turner, London
"Your outstanding, sympathetic and talented musicians added another dimension to our special day..I am deeply grateful!"
Mrs Blunt, Marlborough
"What a marvellous contribution 78rpm made to our wedding..your music really did make the party and so many of the guests still refer to your fabulous band."
Suzanne and Simon Friend, London
"I just wanted to say how brilliant your crew were last night...they played beautifully, looked great, were very obliging with special requests and charming to all the guests."
Jill Olsen, London
