Gabriella and Seb. Royal Troon, Scotland.

Dear Chris and the Mini Big Band,

I hope this email finds you well. I wanted to take a moment to express our deepest gratitude for the outstanding performance you delivered at our wedding.

You truly brought our celebration to life. Your music created an electric atmosphere that kept our guests dancing and smiling all night long. Many of our friends and family have told us that your performance was the highlight of the evening, and we couldn’t agree more.

From the moment we first heard you play, we knew you were the perfect choice for our special day. You not only met but exceeded all of our expectations. Your talent, energy, and ability to read the crowd were outstanding, and you made our reception unforgettable.

We especially appreciated your willingness to learn and perform our special song. It meant the world to us and made that moment incredibly personal and memorable.

Thank you once again for sharing your incredible talent with us and for being such an important part of our wedding day. We will always remember the joy and excitement you brought to our celebration, and we will be sure to recommend you to anyone looking for an amazing band.

We are sorry we didn’t have a chance to speak with you more during the wedding. The day was so busy, and our biggest regret is not being able to give you a proper thank you and a hug in person.

Grazie di cuore per aver reso il nostro matrimonio indimenticabile!

Grazie mille per tutto!!!!

Gabriella and Seb ❤️❤️❤️

I am so glad we booked these guys to play at our wedding – the music is timeless and will delight guests of all ages. We had an absolute blast and lots of our friends and family said how much they had enjoyed the band. 100% would recommend.

The MiniBigBand brought a real touch of class to the conference dinner for UKES2024. It was like having Frank Sinatra in the room. Everyone I spoke to afterwards thought it was a fabulous piece of ambience. I am only sorry that I could not have had another 100 people there at the event to enjoy the fab. music.

An absolute world-class band! We booked them for our Wedding at Wyresdale Park, they became the absolute talking point of the whole day. They were all super professional, responsive and friendly. I couldn’t recommend them enough for anyone looking for something a bit different, but lively for their big day.

Literally cannot recommend this band enough! They were absolutely brilliant at our wedding (the videos don’t do them justice!) and the range of songs was fab! So many guests at our wedding commented about how good they were and everyone was on the dancefloor, irrespective of how much they thought they liked Big Band music. From an admin point of view, Chris was really helpful and responsive and it was a really easy process. I would 100% recommend anyone else to book them for any event you are planning

Hi Chris,

I just wanted to send a quick message to say a huge thank you to you and the guys. We got a huge amount of compliments about how good the band were! I was probably more of a appreciative listener than dancer most of the evening but it sounded huge!

Thank you so much,

Dave

Chris and Rhiannon

Hi Chris! 

As you can imagine, today has been a day of rest😂 but I wanted to email you before the day was out.

We just wanted to say thank you so much for yesterday. As you know, we booked you before we even knew the date or the venue. I wasn’t even sure we’d be able to find anything like a big band for the wedding and it was actually Rhiannon that managed to find you on a Google search. I’m so very glad she did.

Whilst the videos you post are incredible, they still don’t do you all enough justice for how fantastic it is to be able to hear you in person. The sound of just 10 musicians is immense! It was great to be able to have our first dance played you guys, even if we ourselves wobbled through it a little bit!

You were all the highlight of our day (apart from the ceremony of course 😉) and I’m sure you were for many of our other guests. I can’t think of any better way of rounding off an already perfect day. Please pass on our thanks to all of your team.

I think we might have to keep an eye on when you’re playing in the Italian in Leeds to be able to see you at a more public function. 

Thank you so much again,

Chris (and Rhiannon)

Grace and Andrews wedding – Cotswolds

Well, what an experience having the Mini Big Band play at our wedding in the Cotswolds! Each and every one of our guests agreed that they were the highlight of the night, and that certainly rings true for us as well!

In addition to the brilliant sets they played, they were so easy to work with on the night, and their flexibility and guidance as to when we should start up for the second set in particular made our lives as easy as possible.

I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a special live music experience for an event, and I truly hope that I’m lucky enough to see them play again in the near future!

Daniel Dervan, Wedding. The Mere Golf Resort

Wow! Its genuinely difficult to describe how good the Mini Big Band are until you see them live.

We were looking for a Frank Sinatra / Michael Bublé style band to play at our wedding and stumbled across the Mini Big Band’s videos on YouTube, when watching the videos we thought they sounded brilliant but to actually have them perform live at your wedding is something else.

When I first reached out to Chris and the team, the communication couldn’t have been any better, we had a big Indian wedding with quite a lot of different things going on throughout the day and Chris helped us out so much with recommendations of timings and where they would play etc. I always had it on my Bucket List to sing live with a a full brass band so I thought I’d reach out to Chris and ask him the cheeky question ‘could I steal the mic for a song’, Chris was completely supportive and asked me what song I wanted to sing, when I told him it was one that wasn’t in their repertoire, they actually went out of their way to learn the song! I was then able to sing the song to my wife live on our wedding day which went down so well and will stay a memory forever. We got the impression they had a great time at the wedding too and it felt like they where our guests rather than our band, Chris, I have some brilliant photo’s of you guys on the 360 camera to send to you guys haha!

UPDATE: Its been a few months since our wedding now and still every time we speak to any of our guests about our big day they still say the same thing ‘who were the band!?’, to say you were one of the highlights of our big day is an understatement.

I genuinely couldn’t recommend these guys highly enough, if you are even considering hiring them for your event, don’t even think about it, just book.

Thank you all again for such and amazing experience, I hope we get to see you at an event soon and I can sit back and enjoy your performance without the stress of the wedding!

Let me know if you need a stand in singer any time.. I will always be on call!

Julia’s stunning farm wedding.

This band is beyond fantastic. They performed incredibly and are so in sync. They kept my wedding swinging all night and were so flexible when working with us at our DIY wedding I knew we’d made the right choice. Thank you again Mini Big Band, you were incredible.
