What people say

• Just a quick email to say that we were so pleased with The Essentials at our wedding. They had the dance floor packed all night, accommodated our requests, were extremely professional and we will definitely be booking them again!

• The band they were simply incredible, the lead singer was amazing and really got the whole party started. Without the band it would have been just another wedding do. So many people commented on how good the band was not only from a singing perspective but the music also. The variety of songs also went down really well and they catered for everyone at our party. From start to finish their professionalism was first class. I can't thank them enough and we wish them all the success in the future.

• Book this band for your wedding! The voice – absolutely amazing! All the musicians are very talented and work very well together. They even tailored one of our favourite songs for our first dance; absolutely beautiful. Everyone at our wedding was very impressed with The Essentials and had a great time dancing to their selection of songs. Thanks for your all your assistance.

• We were thrilled with The Essentials! We thought they couldn't be as good as they sounded on their demos - but in fact they sounded identical! Their song choices were perfect for our mixed crowd, and they got everyone dancing. They were really easygoing and friendly too.

  Nicky, Wedding, Nottinghamshire, May 2011

• Superb - talented, friendly and professional, and stunning lead vocals. So many guests wanted to know where we found them. We were delighted when they performed At Last for our first dance. Please pass on my thanks.
