Greg, Wedding, Hampshire, June 2016

The act was brilliant. The quality of the band was excellent throughout and got people on the dance floor even for the earlier sets. By the third set the room was heaving and everyone was having a great time. The band really made the day and people since have commented how great the band were. They ensured all kit was cleared away on time and the singer came to speak to my wife and I before leaving to check we'd enjoyed it and to say how much they had. Would definitely recommend Get Carter to others.

The Breaks played at our wedding a couple of weeks ago and were awesome. Loads of our friends have raved to us about how good the band were since the wedding and they did not disappoint. The whole dancefloor was packed with all ages. Would highly recommend!

Emma & Alex, Wedding, Surrey, May 2016

We wanted to say a massive thank you for playing at our wedding at the end of May, you were amazing! A huge range of tunes, brilliantly played - all of our guests loved it, couldn't stop dancing and the chants for 'one more song' at the end said it all. The feedback since has been incredible - many have said you were the best wedding band they'd ever seen. Thanks again so much.

If you are thinking about hiring The Sweet & Lowdown, do not hesitate - you will have a brilliant time!

Ed, Private Event, London, July 2016

Just a quick email to thank you and Party Up so much for their work on Saturday night. They were really professional and friendly, arriving on time and setting up quickly (despite being in conditions similar to Glastonbury!). They were fantastic, getting everyone up and dancing. We will be recommending you to everyone! Thanks again, I look forward to working with you all again soon.

Oh my gosh!! Sorry this is late! And I didn't get a chance to say goodbye! Thank you all so much!! I am SOOO glad we found you guys, you were completely amazing not only extremely talented musicians but genuinely nice polite guys who made me feel at ease and I didn't need to worry about anything! You rocked that carpet dance floor! Everyone loved you! And if we ever need another band, I would book Blue Juice again in a heart beat! Thank you!

Cheryl & Neil, Wedding, Hertford, July 2016

Thank you so much for playing at our wedding on 16th July in Hertford, Rockit! You were fantastic and everyone complimented us on having such a fun and brilliant band! We were so pleased that everyone was inside dancing with us, rather than outside enjoying the summer evening! That is testament to an amazing act. Thank you guys!!!

Fantastic service and band!

Just wanted to say a huge thank you for booking our wedding band and afternoon reception music for us. They were superb and everyone really enjoyed them. They both helped to make our special day even more magical. Tim and Rachel.

Excellent in every way

Have been asked to post my feedback here and am only too happy to do so - the band and agency were brilliant - from my initial enquiry through to the event, everything ran like clockwork. Ali, Beverley and the rest of the team were super friendly and helpful and it was a pleasure to deal with them!

Amazing band!

We were really happy with the service from Function Central - from helping us choose the band, to booking and dealing with the finer details in the lead-up to the day - you were really patient and easy to work with. Please pass on my thanks to Penfold as well who were AWESOME!

Emma, 40th Birthday, Battersea Park, October 2013

We were really satisfied with Function Central. They answered all our queries and were patient while we kept changing our mind about the sort of band we wanted. The website is very easy to use and having the playlists available to get a proper feel for each band is excellent. The online process of execution of contracts and payment is also excellent and extremely efficient and easy to follow. Not sure what happens if you aren't 'electronic' but it worked for us!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to make your big decisions easier.
