"All our guests have said how good they were and were especially pleased with the fact they were so adaptable - playing requests without any problems. I was especially happy that when we got into the room, the dance floor was overflowing - a very good sign. Thanks again for everything and please pass on my positive words to the band as I didn’t get to speak to them at the end."

"What can I say??? A great day, A great Night. A TRULY AWESOME BAND. From the moment they arrived they set up without anyone noticing. From the moment they started their first set people were up & dancing. Me & the wife had decided not to have a first dance but as you can guess she changed her mind. (Probably too much swill) After a quick chat with the band everything was sorted for the start of their second set & we saw our marriage in, in top quality. From then on the dance floor was packed & I think it’s safe to say everyone had a really good night. At the end of the evening they even let us have a little bit of Karaoke. Thanks for organising everything & if anyone out there reads this then please book Aquiline. You will not be disappointed."
