James Toyne – Sibton Park, Suffolk – August 2021.

What a great bunch of musicians. Out of all of the many suppliers that we had for our wedding day, Chris, on behalf of the Mini Big Band was by far the stand out in terms of ease and confidence of booking from the very beginning. Clear, timely communication, every detail accounted for, a really open and honest method to booking and obviously fair and genuine people made choosing TMBB a no-brainer. Their music speaks for itself, I think if anything the previews and the clips that they have on their website undersells the performance on the big day and the atmosphere they create. I don’t think anyone in our crowd of 125 didn’t have a boogie and enjoy every minute of their set. Extremely impressed with the quartet that we had arranged for earlier in the day, again they added to the atmosphere of the earlier reception without adding significantly to the cost. The most outstanding point to note is the arrangement they made of our first dance on our request (an arctic monkeys cover), it was extremely well performed and made a naturally very poignant moment even more so. We really were over the moon with these guys from the outset. 11/10 will not dissapoint.

Steve Allmark – Sandhole Oak Barn, Cheshire. March 2022

Just a note to say how utterly fantastic the Mini Big Band were at our wedding. From the very first email asking about the bands availability, to the Trio setting a lovely vibe as we had drinks after our ceremony , to the full band swinging at our reception, the experience was effortless and amazing. Chris and the guys are true professionals and lovely guys to deal with. It was my dream to have a swing band at my wedding and the Mini Big Band did not disappoint. For them to play my favourite song while my new wife and I had our first dance was truly mind blowing. Nothing was to much trouble and every communication with them was prompt and professional. Everyone at our wedding said how amazing they were and for massive Rat Pack fan, it was a dream to listen to them all night. If you’re reading this and thinking of booking these guys, do it. They are amazing and truly made our special day even more special. I can’t thank Chris and the guys enough. You made our day !!! Steve and Nicole Allmark

Absolutely Flawless and so much fun!

“The guys came to perform at our wedding in September and were absolutely fantastic. After having to postpone due to covid (which was made so easy) we had the most amazing day, centred around the band. Every single guest I spoke to after the event told me how fantastic and unique they were. We loved every second.”

Alex Narramore’s Wedding, Barns and Yard, Worcester

My partner & I decided to hire the Mini Big Band for our (admittedly small!) wedding – purely down to the high quality we saw in their videos and our love of good music. We were absolutely blown away by the talent and charisma from the band (as were all of our guests – nobody wanted the night to end!)
The whole team were SO professional and amazingly talented, they beat our very high expectations by a mile! I really can’t recommend this band enough – Chris, Jon, Roman, Andi and all the team truly made our wedding perfect. Thank you!

James Toyne Wedding, Suffolk.

Hi Chris,
Just a quick note to say thank you so much. You and the guys were absolutely fantastic, you were one of the many cherries on the icing on the cake to a perfect day.
Baby I’m yours was incredible, and we just about kept to our routine despite the panic, stress and alcohol.
I reiterate my comments to you already, that we’ve dealt with a lot of suppliers and you have been far and away the easiest and most confidence inspiring to deal with remotely.
Once again, we’ll always bear you in mind the next time that you would fit in an occasion that we’re hosting and you’ll certainly be very highly recommended.

Many thanks,

James Toyne

Vicky and Alex – The Normans York

Hi Chris

We wanted to say thank you so much to you and the band for an absolutely amazing evening of music on Saturday.

A lot of our guests are musicians and we were all SO impressed with the standard of the band. Luke’s voice is just amazing and the band was so tight and full of energy. Luke was great at working the dancefloor and getting the crowd up and dancing.

You honestly made the evening! We are so glad we booked you! An absolute must. We will treasure the memories of our friends having an amazing time on the dancefloor forever.

Thanks Chris also for being so helpful and responsive during the wedding planning and answering all our questions, it was much appreciated.

We’ll send a few photos through once our photographer has edited them and sent us the full set.

Many thanks again.

Vicky and Alex
