Professional band, really good musicians

The Shades band really got our wedding party going with great tunes, they were fantastic musicians and and interacted with everyone dancing. They were really flexible around timings and setting up and things which made it super easy, and gave us one less thing to worry about! Would highly recommend.

Great party band!

High-energy performance of all our favourite hits. They played our dad's birthday earlier this year...even got him dancing! Had something for everyone, classic oldies and new hits. Super friendly, professional and very prompt responses - I highly recommend!

The Perfect Band for Wedding Day- Shades Made our Day Unforgettable!

Shades were absolutely amazing! Professional, easy to work with, and great value for the money. The music itself was fantastic,every song was spot on, the energy was brilliant and saxophonist added such a special touch to our first dance song.
Our guests couldn’t stop raving about the band. They kept the energy high and truly made our wedding day unforgettable.

Highly recommended to anyone who is looking for good band!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to make your big decisions easier.
