Lisa,
Just a quick not to say how much we loved Gangsters of Groove for our wedding. They were fantastic and had everyone up and dancing straight away.
They sang our first dance song which was Razorlight "wire to wire" perfectly we were over the moon. We have already had a lot of people asking about them as they made such an impact. We cannot say enough how great they were and for making our wedding one to remember.
We would also like to thank Hire a Band for being so helpful as well.
Kind Regards

Thanks again.

Del,
Just a note to let you know that Graham (The Elton Experience) arrived safely and that his performance exceeded all our expectations. He wrapped the audience around his finger, and had people up and dancing who had never danced in their lives. Some guests stated that it was the best night out of their lives. In short, it was a memorable success and he is a really nice chap too. Thank you for introducing him to us.
Best regards,
Mr. KB, Sutherland. March 2011

Kirsten Burke Event Manager Beardmore Hotel and Conference Centre NHS Scotland

I thought the Hireaband site was very informative & I liked how various bands were grouped according to size/cost etc... which made choosing a band much easier. The descriptions were very helpful as were the sample soundtracks. The price you quoted was very competitive & probably average for most bands of that calibre.
Thanks Again Emma Alison - November 2010


Hi Heather,
I have nominated you and Slinky for a VOWS award!
Thank you again for all your help and we had a fantastic wedding reception as everyone loved Slinky and the dancefloor was packed the whole night.
Dawn & Christopher O'Malley - Glenskirlie House Hotel - October

We wanted to make sure we had a fantastic band for our wedding and that's why we came to Hireaband. We attended a showcase where we saw Roadhouse and we made up our minds instantly. At the wedding, Alan came and introduced himself to us and we was really nice and friendly. We were certainly not disappointed with their performance as they exceeded our expectations. Everyone was saying how great the band where on the night and now 7 weeks on, they are still the talking point! Roadhouse truely were fantastic and made the night celebrations a fantastic success. So a very big thank you to Roadhouse and Hireaband.
Gail & Stuart Hunstone - Shawlands Park Hotel, October 2010

Fantastic service.  Hireaband gives you the opportunity to hear hundreds of bands that you would otherwise be unaware of.  The website is excellent and easy to navigate.  The prompt, professional service from staff impressed.

Hi Del
Just some really quick feedback and of course a really big 'thank you' for organising such great acts for us for the ladies lunch.
Michael Buble and Feeva were brilliant. Everyone was up there on the dance floor straight away.  No holding back.
Both Kevin Rodger and the girls (Feeva) were great and so accommodating and helpful.
We missed a proper introduction for the girls which I feel bad about but do you know they were so professional and straight into whooping up the audience.
I can't thank you enough for all your support in helping us get ready for this lunch every year.
I suppose now it all starts again.  Get your thinking cap on!
Thanks again, see you soon and all the best for now

Bravo to Marcus who played at our recent Cocktail Party in Edinburgh. He arrived before we did, set up without fuss and played a selection of his repetoire throughout the course of the evening - fantastic. Our guests loved him and he was gracious enough to play a specific song that one of our guests wanted to sing for us. I would highly recommend him and Hireaband - a great service. Thanks again for making our night special.

Hi Del,
I hope you’re well.
I just wanted to say a BIG BIG thank you for organising Gangsters of Groove for our function at Crieff Hydro on Saturday 25th September.  To say that the whole company and our CEO was ‘blown away’ would be an understatement!
It was an absolute pleasure to work with you, your advice and professionalism was really appreciated and took the stress out of being responsible for making sure the entertainment was spot on.  I will definitely be giving you a call for future events and will be recommending hireaband wherever possible.
Please pass on our thanks to Roland and the team, they really made our 2010 company away weekend.

Kind Regards Mrs Eleanor J Robertson Mother of the Bride - Dalmahoy Hotel & Country Club

We got married on the 15th of July at Strathblane Country House Hotel. Witness were our band, and I just wanted to email to let you know what a fantastic job they did. The dancefloor was busy all night long. They were very flexible, and Jackie has an absolutely wonderful singing voice. My Gran couldn't stop crying when she sang 'fields of gold' as it was very touching. They played an excellent range of songs, and the guitar playing was very good. Loads of people said they loved the band, and I highly recommend them for future brides and grooms.
I also think the service at Hireaband is excellent. For a small fee they take all the hassle out of finding a band, and they take care of all the paper work. 
Kind Regards,
Gavin & Amy Gray - July 2010

Everyone I emailed at Hireaband was really helpful, no hassle to deal with.  The band was one of the most important things for us because it can make or break your evening reception and we were not disappointed with Ghost.  They were fantastic and the dance-floor was full all night.  So many guests have commented that the band were fantastic and that it was the best wedding they have ever been to.  That is a lovely compliment for us and for the band! I thought that the Hireaband website and the wedding band showcase were great.  Thanks very much.
Jill & Martin Davidson, July 2010, Newton Hotel, Nairn.

The services and detail we received were excellent. Heather (Hireaband Wedding Team member) was very helpful when we had to change our wedding date and she was very helpful when asked any questions.
Thank you for everything that Hire a Band helped with and I would Highly recommend Nightshift!
Gary & Claire Walsh - Bothwell Bridge Hotel

My experience with Hire a Band was excellent, the standard of band was fantastic and really added to my whole wedding experience - I was not disappointed!!!! Thank you x
Lyndsey & Stephen Connor booked The Red Hot Poker Band for their wedding at Barony Hall June 2010

We live in New Zealand but got married recently in Scotland. Because of this most of our wedding was organised via the internet. Hireaband has been great, I don't know how we would have even found a band without them! They have been extremely helpful and pleasant to deal with and helped us a lot with organising a great band for our wedding. Many Thanks.
Valery & David Pratt booked Ocean Drive - Lodge on Loch Lomond - June 2010

I could not have asked for a better service from the band. They were unfailingly polite and pleasant and went out of their way to help us. Their performance was fantastic. The service from Hireaband was good too with prompts at the required stages and detailed instructions on what needed to be done.

Hi Karen and the rest of the team at Hire-a-band.
Just a wee quick email to thank you.
We had a truly wonderful wedding day on Friday 4th June and this was topped of by a superb band that was Ernest. for our evening wedding reception at Glenbervie House.
They had the dance floor packed the full night with their range of new and old songs and the ceilidh set. They learned our first and second dance songs which we were so pleased with and even allowed my new husband up with his band to do a couple of songs.
Thank you
Claire & Michael Connelly  June 2010 - Glenbervie House Hotel

Our dealings with Hireaband were a pleasure - very efficient and painless.

Once again Del thanks ever so much. Its a big flap sorting this event and guys like you and Heather have made this enjoyable instead of a nightmare.
Cheers
Moray, 6th Scots, Royal Regiment of Scotland booked Ghost

Northern Star were absolutely brilliant and had the dance floor filled all night. We couldn't have been happier with our choice of wedding band and our guests are still talking about how excellent the band were.  So pleased we attended Hireaband's showcase as we would never have found them otherwise.  Very happy with the service from Hireaband.

Stevan & Denis booked Head to Head - Balbirnie House, May 2010

Hi there Heather.
I just had to drop you a note to thank you for arranging to have Nightshift play at our daughter's wedding on Saturday. To say they were brilliant is an understatement. The dance floor was full the whole evening and they gauged their audience perfectly.
We lost count of the number of guests who said it was the best wedding they had ever been at (how chuffed were we to hear that!!) and Nightshift played a huge part in making it such a success.
Very best wishes and thanks again.
David Burness - Father of the Bride Balbirnie House Hotel, June 2010

The boys in Dignan Dowell & White were a delight to deal with and I would highly recommend the band. They made our evening reception amazing and many of my guests have since asked who the band were and commented on the high quality of their music. I am so glad that I hired them and hireaband made the whole process so easy and worry free. Thank you!
Hazel & Marc - Corrie Village Hall, Isle of Arran 15th May 2010

Great value for money, good communication between office and myself, band able to play our favourite song via i=pod due to being a female vocalist and only male singers in band, guests gave great comments and played a couple of request songs.  Overall very efficient and made the day even more special. 
Jason & Lynn booked Heatwave for their wedding on 29th May 2010

Whenever we contacted Hireaband, whether by email or phone, we were met with outstanding customer service.  Then when put in contact with Paul he was extremely professional and approachable.  On our wedding day he was set up at the venue in the morning & then kept the dance floor busy all night.  He did a great job and we would recommend Paul and Hireaband to anyone and everyone.  Thank you!
Aileen & Michael Smith

I am really grateful for the service we received from Hireaband - we had initially booked another band directly after talking to them at the (SECC) wedding show, paid our deposit and signed a contract with them over a year before our wedding. We were unhappy to say the least when they contacted us 6 months after we booked them to say they had double booked us and could no longer perform at our wedding. We were really worried that we would not get a good band to replace them but Hireaband were great and gave us a list of available bands to choose from. Dignan Dowell & White were great and we really enjoyed their music - the guests did too. In the end we were glad we ended up with DDW anyway. Thanks very much and we will definitely nominate you for the Vows awards.
Lorna & Douglas Thain, One Devonshire Gardens 1st May 2010

Excellent service which made organising the band from overseas easy. The Band themselves (The Red Hot Poker Band) were top rate and a number of guests have taken their details for their own weddings.

Barry Shaw, Tesco, March 2010

Hireaband was recommended to us by a friend who had also used the service for their own wedding. It was so simple - I told the girls in the office what I was looking for and they sent me a long list of suitable bands all at different price points. My husband and I checked out the bands on the web site, listened to their tracks and decided on the Jenni Gibb Band. All of our guests were blown away by the quality of the band, they event battled through 4 inches of snow to get here. Thank you hireaband and The Jenni Gibb Band, you helped make our day unforgettable.

Elaine Ross, Wedding, Abbotsford Hotel, May 2009.

Hireaband were exceptionally helpful and gave very good advice. DeVille and Select Strings were fantastic and put the finishing touches to a great day.
Jennifer Harris (Mother of Groom), Wedding, Culcreuch Castle, June 2008.

Both Hireaband and DeVille were a delight to work with. In my final stages of wedding meltdown these guys made everything that little bit easier when regarding the entertainment. Though David and I had a more unconventional beginning and end to our wedding, DeVille seemed more than happy to go along with our 'ideas' and hopefully found them funny and maybe slightly original! From allowing a CD to play the first and second song (DeVille are amazing but aybe switching from Michael Buble to Take That within seconds was asking a bit much!) to singing the Hokey Cokey as our last song (with a hidden 'Shamone'!) these guys were professional, friendly, fun and tremendously entertaining. I wouldn't think twice about recommending them to friends, family and anyone else who would listen! Thanks again boys, you'll be seeing us again at the next excuse for a party!
Sarah McLaughlin & David Gallagher, Wedding, Airth Castle, May 2008.

Dealing with Hireaband was very easy and communication with the company was extremely easy, from dealing with the initial booking and band choice to receiving confirmation and receipts. The Jenni Gibb Band were truly fantastic - I would have danced all night if they'd let me! They played an excellent mix of music and many of the guests commented on how great they sounded. We had spent a long time going to many band nights trying to pick the right band for our wedding. The last thing we wanted was a cheesy school disco - I am pleased to say that the Jenni Gibb Band were definitely not that! A truly talented band, we had a great time, thanks.
Debbie & Jeremy Browne, Wedding, Piersland House Hotel, May 2008.

I have been very impressed with the service received from Hireaband and would have no hesitation in recommending you to anyone.

Many thanks for giving us peace of mind and helping to make our event a success.
Diane Peebles, BFC Linlithgow, May 2008.

Kylie Forrest, KL Events, March 2008.

Hireaband were fantastic from start to finish. Even if my original point of contact was not available, everyone I spoke to knew (or sounded like they knew!) all details of my booking. My questions were answered promptly and efficiently and at all times I was made to feel like I was important to them and not "just another booking". As for Moondance, they were one of the main reasons I believe our wedding was better than anyone else's I have ever been to!! I would be more than happy to give personal recommendations about them as, having worked for ten years in the hospitality industry, I have never been more impressed with a bands approach to a wedding/event.
