Everyone loved every minute on the dance floor

James and I just wanted to say such a huge thank you to The Zoots for playing at our wedding last weekend. You were spectacular and everyone loved every minute on the dance floor – safe to say many a sore foot the next day – from the thank you letters received so far, everyone has mentioned how incredible the music was so thank you for making our wedding so special!

Brilliant band!

We cannot recommend The Zoots highly enough! From start to finish The Zoots were a pleasure to work with - responsive, helpful and listened to what we wanted for our wedding. On the night they were set up and ready to go on time and with professionalism, and from the first beat had the dance floor full! The band really engaged the dancers, including getting me (the bride) up to join in, as well as my dad and other members of the wedding party! The music played fitted perfectly with our taste and there was something for all ages. The Zoots brought such a vibe to the evening and we cannot thank them enough for the fantastic energy, music and experience!

A fantastic band for a memorable wedding

We cannot recommend The Zoots highly enough! They were absolutely amazing at my daughters wedding reception and had everyone—young and old—on the dance floor all night. Their energy, talent, and ability to get the crowd going made the evening truly unforgettable.
A particularly special moment was when Jamie sang as my daughter Jess walked down the aisle. It was such a beautiful, personal touch that made the ceremony even more emotional and memorable. His voice was incredible, and it set the perfect tone for the day.
From start to finish, The Zoots were professional, friendly, and a joy to work with. If you’re looking for a band that will bring your wedding to life and create lasting memories, The Zoots are the ones to book!

I have to say that you were one of the best that I have ever seen

Dear Jamie, Harriet and the rest of the band,

I just wanted to thank you both for the wonderful set that you played at Harriet & Chris’s wedding on Saturday. I have seen many bands playing at weddings over the years – some good and some not so – and I have to say that you were one of the best that I have ever seen.

I thought that you were great and got the choice of music pitched perfectly for the audience. I have received so many positive comments about the music from guests that I have lost count !

So well done guys and thank you. I hope that you all enjoyed it as much as we did. If you ever need a reference then I would be happy to oblige.

Best wishes

You were amazing. Everyone was up dancing and just having the best time!

Dear Jamie, Harriet and the rest of the band,
Thank you so much for Saturday you were amazing. Everyone up dancing and just having the best time. The staff even said the band are really good and everyone kept saying to me the band are amazing.
And I’m so glad Gemma and Matt got their first dance at the end – I don’t think she clocked it initially but they were so relaxed by then it was wonderful.
