KIND WORDS
Hands down the best function bandโฆ
A guaranteed good time for any wedding/event. Exciting, modern funk arrangements, charismatic band members, and a truly incredible vocalist (with a killer range!?) The musicians come into the audience to do brilliant solos, and it makes the whole thing feel way more than just a music set. It’s a unique, entertaining section of the evening that engages everyone.โ
Francesca & KT | Dorney Court
KIND WORDS
Anthem were just pure party magicโฆ
They had all our guests up and dancing no matter their age and the party was going all night long thanks to their high energy and great performance. We loved that they got in amongst the party and got everyone involved from conga lines to dance battles. Anthem had great communication from start to finish, putting our mind at ease and no question was too much to answer. Their production was second to none, with the lighting and sound packages being easy to understand and it looked brilliant!”
Katherine & Adam | Fanhams Hall
KIND WORDS
They had the dance floor rocking all nightโฆ
The musicians are top-notch, their play list was fantastic, full of crowd pleasing favourites, and everyone has been talking non-stop about how brilliant the band was. Their advance A/V package meant that some of the musicians were able to come on to the floor and party with us which made the party so much more fun! They know just how to get the floor full and keep it that way, and their music was just fantastic.”
Nikki & Robert | Tewin Bury Farm
KIND WORDS
They were just brilliantโฆ
We had a 6 piece, which included a sax and it was everything we wanted. They learnt & performed our first dance perfectly and absolutely nailed the set list to keep everyone dancing across the 2 sets. The team were fab and made it so easy for us, would recommend in a heartbeat!โ
Alice & Pete | Otley Hall
KIND WORDS
The best band we could have asked for at our weddingโฆ
The dance floor was always full and everyone loved the music. The band came into the crowd and started a great bride and groom dance off! 100% would recommend. They also made a fantastic reel which shows the amazing atmosphere the band created!โ
Cathy & Conor | Milling Barn
KIND WORDS
We truly were blown awayโฆ
Weโve had comments from so many guests saying how much fun they had, and how great the band were. The vocals from the lead-singer were amazing and we couldnโt believe her range and varied repertoire, to the talent from the musicians, it was the perfect band. We genuinely couldnโt believe how much people were dancing and how full the dance floor was all night, even from people who are usually found hiding away in the corner at weddings!
