We knew you would be good but you were all incredible- we couldn't believe how you managed to keep everyone dancing all night! All I can say is that if you want the very best band and music then the Vendettas is the only band to book!

We have had so many comments about you since the wedding - all positive! One of our guests was that impressed he is thinking of using you for one of his events. So again thank you for giving us such a fabulous Wedding Reception!!

    Clare & Phil, Wedding, Gloucestershire, 2010
  • We are very proud to announce these guys! 

They performed previously at a private function at ours, we just had to bring them back for a public performance! They are one of the best bands we came across in 2009.

We guarantee you a night where you just won’t be able to sit still! These guys and a gal bring you a night full of up-tempo, dancefloor-filling, soul-tinged rhythm and blues covers that will party your Friday night like no other!

    Steve, Private party, Avon, 2010
  • Hi guys - Just a quick email to say a huge thank you for playing at our wedding in Devon. We loved the range of songs played in your sets, which kept our wedding guests on the dance floor all night – not a song was played with no-one dancing – excellent! So many of our guests commented on how fantastic the music was, and at least two couples asked for your details so they could contact you for their own events. We hope you enjoyed the evening as much as we did. Many thanks again.

    Jenny & Matthew , Wedding, Devon, 2010
  • Dear The Vendettas - Thank you for being such a huge success at our wedding - you got people dancing who haven't been on the dancefloor for 20 years! Thank you also for being so easy to deal with and so self-sufficient on the night. We are giving your website details out with all of our thank yous as lots of people have asked for them. Best wishes for the future.

    Beth, Wedding, Bristol, 2010
  • Just wanted to say thanks again for playing at our wedding, everybody said what a great time they had and really enjoyed all the dancing - even in the heat! Particularly loved our first dance - it rocked! We'll definitely recommend you to any of our friends getting married in the future.
