Jules Ross Brown, July 2015.

 

Firstly thank you all so, SO much for your really wonderful contribution to our wedding – it was so nice to meet you finally after the many months of planning and all of our guests just had a wonderful time during the evening’s entertainment! I am also delighted that we decided to have the jazz quartet in the garden during the drinks reception as that was a perfect addition to the (happily very sunny! J) afternoon and set just the right tone. I should also say thank you so much for indulging my other half and letting him sing a couple of numbers with the band – it made his evening! If I had anything to complain about it was simply that we couldn’t go on dancing all night!

Jen’s wedding, North Yorkshire

Here’s a few photos from a great gig this weekend for Jen’s wedding in North Yorkshire. Such a beautiful setting. A special mentioned has to go out to our singer, Paul who found out his wife’s waters had broken at half time, yet still wanted to carry on (very quickly) for the second set, before rushing to get to the birth of his daughter.  He made it (we’re all glad to hear) and he and his wife now have a beautiful baby girl. What a night!!

Caroline Edwards’ wedding, Suffolk, June 2015.

Thanks for your email!  Sorry for the delayed reply, but today is my first day back from honeymoon, so just catching up on emails….. 😉

Well, wow, you guys were brilliant!  Totally got the festivities swinging and were great fun and so friendly to work with!  We loved the swing-e-oke, only wish we’d had more time to involve more people into it! And more time to hear more of the great swinging from you guys!

Everyone totally loved your performance and it got all ages up and dancing – was perfect for our wedding!

Thank you SO much for helping make our wedding brilliant fun!  And also for letting me sing (forgetfully) with you – that was fantastic to do!

Peter and Marcus’ wedding, Kent, July 2015.

Chris
The dust has settled and I would now like to say a huge thank you to you and the rest of The Mini Big Band for making our wedding extravaganza such a brilliant celebration. We had the most amazing three days and your headline act on Day One set the tone for the events ahead. In spite of things out of their control, your guys were brilliant, bending over backwards to accommodate the revised timetable, and rocked it.
Thank you once again- we will be recommending you to one and all. Please pass this on to the rest of the band.
Best
Peter and Marcus
