I can’t recomend them enough!

I was the maid of honour at a wedding that Take the Floor played recently and we all had so much fun! They got the whole room dancing and made the evening a party. The band was super flexible with what we needed and was engaging the crowd to make every song really hit.
Running up to the wedding they were really friendly and super quick to respond to any queries we had, they had a few different packages depending on budget, and were flexible on the day when speeches ran over time.
Overall I was really impressed, they’re great performers, competent professionals, and very sound people

Fantastic customer service and brilliant band

I mostly interacted with Matt the manager, who was wonderful. We were originally going to hire a 5 piece band but had to change the plans due to unforeseen circumstances and Matt worked with me to figure out a plan and the set list. We hired the duo in the end and they were brilliant, talented, and flexible on the day as there were some changes to the location in the venue on the day due to the weather. Our guests loved the band and complimented the playlist we created! Thank you!

A Top Band!

Band were super good. Professional, turned up early, sound checked and blended in flawlessly with the whole day. Sounded really good for only a 3 piece as well. Would definitely recommend.

Great band!

The band was great - they sounded amazing and then faded into the backround without dominating the proceedings. Got there early to set up and do sound checks so when the wedding started, they were completely on it!

Great for weddings

They played at my brothers wedding and didn't disappoint. Good song choices that matched the day perfectly - and played to a very good standard. I cant recommend them enough and I will be asking for them at my wedding if I ever get the chance. They were all super nice people to chat to afterwards too!!
