Wedding Jenna and James

We where looking for a band for our wedding last year and came across the Record Players on hitched as it was recommended by our friends who used the site for their evening entertainment.

After looking through their promotional video we decided to get in contact with them. We spoke to Ben who was fantastic in giving us the logistics and details. He was increadibly attentive with what we wanted which gave us complete peace of mind.

We also chose them because of their variety of songs they do which is great because there's was something for everyone.

They absolutely blew us away and where very professional. We couldn't stop dancing the whole night and we couldn't have been more happier for the perfect end on our big day. Especially when they played Abba. Our favourite ;)
We would absolutely recommend them for any weddings.
Love
Jenna and James
