Take 2 is amazing

Take 2 were a great addition to our wedding reception. They've been very responsive and accommodating from initial outreach up to our special day. We loved their extensive set list and openness to learning any new songs ahead of our wedding. All our guests provided nothing but rave reviews of how much they loved hearing them througout the cocktail hour

10/10 - Outstanding

Absolutely incredible! We first met Take2 Travels while on holiday in Kos and were blown away by them back then—so inviting them to perform at our wedding after party felt like a dream come true. And wow… they exceeded every expectation!

Their energy, talent, and professionalism were outstanding from start to finish. They had everyone up dancing, singing along, and completely in the moment. So many guests commented on how amazing they were and how they made the night feel truly unforgettable.

We couldn’t have asked for better entertainment. If you’re thinking about booking Take2 Travels—do it. They helped make our wedding party absolutely perfect. Highly, highly recommended!

Our wedding weekend Cotswolds

These guys are amazing!! We first met Josh and Grace on a holiday in Greece when they were performing at a hotel we stayed at. Everytime they were on we would go watch them play. We got married this year and hired some barns for the weekend to extend the wedding over a few days, these guys kindly came and performed for us as a small party after our wedding and it just topped off a brilliant wedding weekend! Would have them again without a shadow of a doubt, we just need an excuse for another party! Thanks again both, keep up the good work!!!

DREAM wedding band

Grace and Josh were an absolute pleasure to work with from start to finish. They are professional, responsive and unbelievably talented. We were lucky enough to catch them at public gigs throughout the year with various members of our bridal party and by the time the wedding came round, they genuinely felt like really good mates.
We had them for the drinks reception playing acoustic songs all the way through to the reception to really get the party going.
Their ability to take requests and perform them instantly will always blow my mind, their extensive repertoire covers all genres and decades, and really caters for everyone in the room. From the Beatles to Baby Shark, and Taylor Swift to Erasure, there's nothing they can't do.
Take 2 have fans for life in us! Cannot recommend them enough!

Amazing addition to our marquee wedding

We recently used Josh and Grace for the drinks reception entertainment at our Yorkshire Marquee Wedding and couldn't recommend them enough! They both were fantastic performers and really got the party started for all of our guests! Professional, warm, and incredibly talented—our wedding wouldn’t have been the same without them. We’re still getting compliments weeks later! Highly recommend to anyone wanting to add a magical touch to their special day.

Unreal talent and added to our special day

Josh & Grace (Take2) recently performed at our wedding, and it was an absolute delight! Their harmonious blend of voices captivated the guests from the very first note.
What truly sets Josh & Grace apart is their ability to connect with the audience. Between songs, they shared personal stories and engaged with the guests, making the performance feel intimate despite the large venue. Their authenticity and warmth created an inclusive atmosphere where everyone felt like part of their musical journey.
Overall, Josh & Grace delivered an unforgettable performance. Their talent, charisma, and genuine interaction with the audience made for a magical evening and cherished memories for our special day. If you ever have the chance to book them, don’t miss out! They are a shining example of what makes live music truly special.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to make your big decisions easier.
