We absolutely loved your music and we are so pleased we booked you. All of our guests were asking who you where and where we found you. Thank you for making our evening and for being so flexible with the delays etc. it was a perfect end to an amazing day.

We had an absolutely fantastic wedding party with The Winklepickers providing the music. The band created a great atmosphere straight away, and had everyone up dancing with their excellent range of songs! Communication was brilliant from start to finish. We would definitely recommend The Winklepickers to anyone looking for a wonderful night of music!

Our wedding took place at the Merchant Taylors' Hall, central London, in December 2012. We knew that we wanted a band for the evening reception, and some music for our wedding ceremony, but didn't really know where to look for inspiration. The Winklepickers looked like our kind of band, and their website was really helpful and informative, so we made our booking a couple of months in advance after contacting Ben by email. There is so much planning involved in arranging a wedding. As the groom, I wanted to know that the band would be there in good time, and be organised and professional on the day. We were in very safe hands withThe WInklepickers - they were absolutely brilliant and very considerate to our requests. Their rendition of the song for our first dance was perfect, and all of our guests commented on how much they enjoyed the band's sets. I'd have no hesitation in recommending the band to anyone for their own events. They were superb musicians, excellent value and great people too. We really did have a perfect day, and we are very grateful to The Winklepickers for helping to make it so special. I'd be more than happy for people to contact me directly at greg.ferrari.uk@gmail.com if they need further information.

Just wanted to say a big thank you for the fantastic music at Andy's party. So many people came up to us both during and after to say what a great band and where did we find you. Really helped create the atmosphere we were looking for - lovely blokes too and very professional customer service. Highly recommended and will be booking you again next time we have a do!

This is probably the most belated thank you in history and you probably barely remember the event now, but I just wanted to say a huge thank you on behalf of Jane and myself for providing the incredible entertainment for our wedding back in August at the Dome. Everyone said how great the music was and how professional and tight you guys were and it really made the night for us. We'll encourage anyone we know getting married to book you, because we can't imagine there could be a better choice of band.

We would just like to say how great we thought you guys were! Every single guest commented on how perfect a band you were for our wedding. At every stage you have been a pleasure to deal with, even coming to meet us prior to the big day. Your sets were just great, the mix of songs got everyone young and old up and dancing. We won't have any hesitation recommending The Winklepickers at any opportunity. Good luck with your wedding! Thanks so much Toby and Ellie

Thanks so much for your note - and thank you again for Saturday. It was a great way to kick off an amazing day for us - we're just sorry we didn't get to hear more of you but everyone we spoke to seemed to love you guys. Thanks for stepping in with the signing of the register bit at the last minute - hadn't really thought about that bit! Thanks again and we'll be sure to spread the winklepickers name far and wide Regards, Paul

Having been set the challenge of playing completely unplugged in a wild camping venue for a 40th birthday celebration, The winklepickers duo completely delivered. Great communication prior to the event, fantastic music, both in choice of song and standard of performance, they had the 30-40 something crowd all dancing and wanting more at the end - there were even offers of sleeping bags and breakfast! would absolutely recommend these guys for any function.

They were so lovely, they were a huge hit and have been recommended on to many! I felt so bad that it was such a chilly evening, they were great though, very happy. Please wish them all the best in the future - it was our fairwell party, heading back to Australia, so unfortunately we wont be here to hire them again.

The Winklepickers performed at my 21st Birthday party and were absolutely amazing. This is the 2nd time we had heard them as they previously performed at our local pub on Mothers Day and went down a storm. The band are so professional and ensure the volume of music is just right for the occasion. Most bands allow you to select just one song choice in addition to their normal play list but the Winklepickers were so flexible and I was able to select six songs of my own which they learnt before the occasion and performed amazingly. Their play list is so varied and caters for every occasion. Everybody loved them at the party and I have no doubt it wont be long before we see them again. I cant recommend them enough for any type of occasion.

The Winklepickers are a fantastic band and we are so pleased that we chose them for our wedding. Their communication from the start was brilliant, they were really helpful and went out their way to accommodate exactly what we wanted for our big day. Their set list is great with something for every age, which is perfect for a wedding when you have little kids dancing alongside great uncles. Their playing was flawless and we received lots of compliments from guests about our band choice. All in all, a very professional, friendly group, who I would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a wedding band.

Thanks guys for creating the atmosphere at the party last week. It was such a difference to have some great quality live music which was both tasteful and sensitive enough to chat over but lively so that people got up and had a dance. Lots of my friends have been asking for more information about The Winklepickers and I’ll need you to keep the same date next year free so that you can play for me again!

Thank you so much for playing at our wedding. The first dance song was incredible, as soon as you started playing it we knew we had picked the right band for our wedding day. People are still talking about the show you put on and asking for more information about where they can hear more! We will definitely be recommending The Winklepickers to anyone planning a wedding or any other event. Thanks again!

The Winklepickers gave an outstanding performance at our engagement party and were instrumental in creating the great atmosphere enjoyed by all. Their professionalism was displayed throughout and we had endless feedback from our guests on how good they sounded. Everyone was impressed by them. They compliment each other perfectly and we have of course requested them to play at our wedding later this year!
