What people say Help

  • I felt I had to write to pass on all our thanks as the band did an absolutely magnificent job. Family and friends of all ages were up boogying from the first song until then end of the night, such a fabulous mix of songs from different eras. Definitely something for everyone!

    The band themselves were great. They arrived at the venue early and were well prepared. All members were very well presented and charmed the guests both young and old.

    We had arranged a special wedding dance, which the band were very enthusiastic about, and went to great lengths to ensure everything was organised and ready. They certainly made us feel very relaxed about the whole thing, and ensured that everything was taken care of. We have since had many comments from our guests saying just how much they enjoyed the band, and how professional they were.

    Laura, Wedding, Halifax, March 2012
  • Just wanted to drop you a quick note to say that Agent Smith were simply outstanding at our wedding and we could not have asked for a better band to play, simply brilliant!

    Jonathan, Wedding, March 2012
  • Agent Smith were INCREDIBLE! Their vocals were great, particularly for our first dance song, and later, they literally brought the house down! Everyone was up on the dance floor, and Agent Smith single-handedly showed me just how cool my Dad was, as he started pulling out all James Brown moves and put all the young crowd to shame! They brought so much energy to the evening, Liam really participates with the crowd and he has some pretty nifty moves himself as several ladies, including my Mum, commented! They arrived on time, their conduct was professional throughout and they are a great bunch of guys. I have already had several inquiries for them and one guest is seriously considering flying them over to Germany, they were THAT good! Absolutely fantastic, utterly faultless. Words cannot express how much I would recommend you book these guys NOW!"

    Michelle, Wedding, March 2012
  • You created a perfect party atmosphere. Although it was only a small wedding in an even tinier venue, everyone of all ages was up dancing - or rolling. My Mum thanks you for singing songs she knew the words to! The sets were incredible - we particularly liked the more rocky one and the insert of Michael Jackson! Everyone commented on how good and talented you all were. And also full of energy, involving of all the guests. My Nan in her wheel chair loved you! People kept asking me where I found you from, and to be honest I keep thinking how lucky I was to have actually done so! You guys really were great - I am just trying to think of any other events I can make up so that I can hire you again!

    Katie and Mike, Wedding, Yorkshire, February 2012
  • Look no further, you really have found the perfect band for your function! We had Agent Smith for my 40th Birthday party; they were utterly fantastic. They were great fun; they interacted with the guests, involved us with the singing and kept us all dancing all night. They clearly enjoy what they are doing and nothing was too much for them. They played the music that I had requested and essentially ran the night for us; so I could get on and enjoy the evening with the guests. All of our guests have said it was one of the best nights they have ever had and every single one said how brilliant the band were. They really did make the night perfect. I would definitely book them again.

    Rosie, 40th Birthday Party, Harrogate, January 2012
  • WOW! What a fantastic lively band these guys played at our wedding and filled the dance floor for the entire night the sound quality was superb and they even played our first dance live , what a great bunch of lads , they spent time chatting with everyone between sets and joined our guests on the dance floor ,they are genuinely lovely friendly guys ( and they didn't take advantage of the free bar for the band tab!!!) although the choc fountain took a hammering (would have been rude not to !) we had a huge range of guests and the music choice was spot on for all to enjoy. please book with confidence you will not be disappointed, huge huge thanks guys x

    Louise, Wedding, Northampton, January 2012
  • We booked Agent Smith for our wedding, we love music and after hearing lots of different bands and lots of different auditions we chose Agent Smith for our party, We were not disappointed. Really nice guys, looked the part and most importantly sounded the part! Even better than we expected and well worth the money. They really got into the party atmosphere and were really accommodating with requests and timings and they gave a real high energy performance. Great front man, an all round quality band, would not hesitate in recommending them and indeed we have since as we've had quite a few of our guests asking! Thanks very much Agent Smith.

    Jacqueline, Wedding, October 2011
  • We couldn't believe our luck with finding Agent Smith. They asked us beforehand what type of music we liked and if we had any special requests. On the night they were already set up and ready by the time we arrived. They were flexible with the length of each set and worked around the timing of the buffet, cake cutting etc. They were an amazing live act and had everybody, young and old, on the dance floor for hours - they seemed to play for ages! Their range of music was outstanding and they sounded even better than their demo tracks; I cannot stress how talented these guys are! The lead singer had everyone joining in and got down on the dance floor for a boogie, much to the excitement of my Auntie Kim! Several of our guests commented on how good they were and asked where we had found them. We will certainly be booking them again!

    Andy and Leanne, Wedding, August 2011
  • I would like to say a massive thank you to Agent Smith who played at our wedding. The band were fantastic on the night and the dance floor was full from the moment you started till the moment you finished, with the guest requesting an encore, you definitely made the night and everyone has been raving about you since the wedding and I would have no hesitation in hiring you for any future events. Many thanks you really helped to make it a night to remember!


    With regards to Function Central, you acted very professional throughout the process and I would use Functional Central again if looking for an act. Thank you for your help.

    Michael, Wedding, Preston, November 2011
  • You played at our wedding on 29th October in Coventry. Just want to say a massive thank you for making our wedding reception amazing!! Everyone has raved about you guys since, you definitely made the party. The music was fantastic and spot on for our taste. Massive thank you again!!!

    Sam and Fraser, Wedding, Coventry, October 2011
  • We should now be relaxing together but their performance at our wedding was so good we felt obliged to complete this testimonial before jetting off on our honeymoon. Not only were the crew of Agent Smith incredibly professional and their music was an awesome standard, but they listened to our requests, adapted on the night and during their break we had a good chat and they are just a great bunch of guys. Our wedding had a wide demographic, from young kids and middle aged professionals, through to retirees and elderly grandparents. Agent Smith had everyone on the dancefloor giving their best moves and each and everyone of them had a huge smile on their face. They even used some of the female wedding party as backing singers for one song which they loved and I even did a bit of solo! It brought an excellent wedding reception to a close. If you're looking for a band who WILL do your wedding proud, then these are the guys.

    Ross, Wedding, October 2011
  • I hired Agent Smith for my daughter's sweet 16th. They were amazing, totally fantastic! They got the kids up dancing and all the girls loved them, even my 2 year-old twins were on the dance floor throughout their sets! They took the time to talk to everyone when they weren't playing a set too, and even with the DJ service between sets they played music for everyone. They made the night to be honest! I will definitely be booking them again in the near future - top lads!

    Natalie , 16th birthday party, Yorkshire, October 2011
  • Having booked Agent Smith for an action packed Christening and 40th Birthday joint celebration, we could not have been more impressed with them. Despite the band being asked to play in a small area in the main building due to issues with the marquee stage, the band members were so accommodating and nothing phased them. When they started playing they immediately 'ROCKED' and the quality and diversity of tracks they played, from Lady Ga Ga to the Kings of Leon, was 'AMAZING'. It is true to say that they made our day and evening and we had so many comments from our guests at how brilliant they all were. Some of our friends are now booking them for weddings and we can't thank them enough for being truly outstanding. This band should go on tour.....they ROCK.

    Simon, Christening Party, August 2011
  • When we were planning our wedding, my wife didn't trust me with much. However, I was asked to organise the band. It was the one thing that every one of our guests commented on (they were probably mentioned more than the dress!) Agent Smith were the perfect choice for our wedding. They played a wide range of songs that catered for all ages. The quality of their playing was exceptional and the band were very friendly and accommodating. They generated a great atmosphere and got every guest up on the dance floor - so much so that several guests asked us afterwards for their contact details so that they could hire them for their own functions in the future. Thanks lads for rounding off an amazing day in such style.

    Lee and Emma, Wedding, July 2011
  • These guys did an amazing job on the night and from the moment the first dance finished to the last note the guys played at the end of the evening, the dance floor was brimming. They had a great energy and played a perfect balance of classics mixed in with modern anthems. All ages were on their feet dancing and singing and many comments we got from our guests after the reception were to congratulate us on a great choice of band! We didn't make things easy for the guys either as our dinner ran well over time, leaving the guys pressed to sound check quickly. However, they took it all in their stride with a great attitude and were up and running in no time to deliver a great party with a excellent quality sound. I would definitely recommend them!

    We were extremely happy with Function Central too and found it extremely easy to identify which group we wanted at our wedding from the band descriptions and soundbytes, and from completing the booking up to the band arriving the whole process was straightforward and convenient.

    Jonathan, Wedding, Cheshire, June 2011
  • Agent Smith played at our wedding evening reception in June 2011. From start to finish it was a perfect choice we made! The booking process was fantastic and the band were everything and more! Firstly, they were very polite young men and nothing was too much trouble for them. Their music was brilliant and they really got involved in the party. They joined us when we had the buffet and they were true professionals throughout!

    Lesley, Wedding, June 2011
  • What can I say but utterly amazing. Really made the night and people kept coming up to me asking me how I managed to find these guys. Loads of energy, people were bouncing around the dance floor like lunatics, it was like being at a gig! They were really good fun too while being professional and taking on board what was asked of them - I just can't recommend them enough, words don't do them justice!

    Andrew, Wedding, Manchester, June 2011
  • We hired Agent Smith for our Charity Ball this Spring. We
    liked their energy from the demos which most definitely
    shone through in their performance. They handled all our
    requests playing recent music and some old classics,
    everyone got involved dancing. To sum up Agent Smith they
    were friendly professional guys who are very talented.
    Thanks for helping to make the ball such a success!

    Alex, Charity Ball, May 2011
  • Agent Smith played our wedding in January 2011 and they were simply amazing. Before the wedding, they were really helpful and friendly and on the day the whole band were great to have around. As for the music, they were simply awesome. The band was tight and the musicianship was superb. The vocalist was incredible, too. All in all, Agent Smith made the evening of our wedding go off in a big, big way! Thanks also to you guys for your part in organising things, you were really helpful.

    Joanne, Wedding, London, January 2011
  • Outstanding band and extremely professional - we all danced constantly. We loved their performance and they were so organised and prepared, which made planning and executing the live music side of things a dream. Best wedding band in Manchester and highly recommended!

    Susie, Wedding, Cheshire, December 2010
  • Just a few words to say thank you for New Year Eve. The BEST night of the year definitely saved till last!! Will speak to you some time during the week for more bookings very excited to have you all back ASAP. Great work, thanks again.

    Dave, Club Promotor, NYE Night, Manchester, Dec 2010
  • Thought we’d drop you an email to give some feedback on Agent Smith. These guys were absolutely brilliant. I could spend all day typing superlatives to describe them. From the start they all looked as though they wanted to be there and that they were genuinely having a good time – this made for a really good start. All the songs they sang were performed perfectly. I lost count of how many of my guests asked me where I found them. In short, we’re so glad we booked them. They delivered exactly what we hoped for and made our reception a party to remember. Please pass on our huge thanks.

    Katie, Wedding, Manchester, September 2010
  • Just a note to say a big thank you for your performance earlier in the week. The music was excellent and an overall professional performance. I would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending you to future employers. Thanks again for a great night.
