Testimonials
We just wanted to send an enormous thank you to you and the guys in the band for what had to be THE highlight of our day, your band. We have never seen a full dance floor for an entire wedding reception before, and all ages dancing. You guys were sensational and every bit as good as you sounded over the mp3's we downloaded. I have been asked for your details by a number of people now and I was told that a couple of people also got your details on the night. I used to work for Sony Music in Soho and the music licensing team was there that night and they too have asked for your details to pass on to several people for parties etc.

Firstly a huge thank you to both Plan B and Alice for making our day so special. You were Fantastic! Everyone has said how great the music was, and in particular Plan B, so hopefully this will lead to many of our friends using you!
Katie Bennett, Bride, September 2007
We just wanted to drop you a note to say a huge thank you for playing at our wedding. I can't tell you how many compliments you have received from our guests since. You were the talk of the town. So many people have said that they haven't experienced such a fantastic atmosphere at a wedding before and so much of that was down to you guys.
Sorry it's taken us so long to send this, we're just getting back to down to earth! We do have a photo that we must forward to you, and we will just as soon as its been forwarded onto us.
Thank you again, we hope you all enjoyed yourselves as we certainly did. We couldn't have asked for a better night.
Marie & Pete, Wedding, June 2007
"This is soooo embarrassingly late but I just wanted to drop you and the guys a quick email to say how much we LOVED the gig you did for us at our wedding on 1st July (the hot day in Hampshire – so long ago now I hope you still remember it!) We really did have the most amazing time, and so much of that in the evening is down to the music – everyone has commented on how excellent you all were – a huge huge thank you. My husband and I didn’t stop dancing all night and nor did our friends – the dancefloor was consistently full of everyone having a brilliant time! I will certainly be passing your number on if that’s okay!"
Laura Fishbourne, Bride, July 2006
"Plan B completely exceeded our expectations in every way. They set up on time, they played our first dance superbly, they interacted with the guests, they looked like they were really enjoying themselves and they got everyone dancing right from the start. The dance floor was full all night and everyone love d them to bits - I am still getting brilliant feedback about them 10 days later. The guys sounded amazing and they are clearly very talented musicians. I would love to hear them again and I can honestly say that they could not have been better for the occasion - stunning!"
Grant and Sasha Holden, bride & groom, June 2006
"Sorry this is a little belated but we are just beginning to return to normal! We wanted to thank you all SO much for your fantastic efforts at the wedding. We have had a veritable flood of "thank you" letters and calls and almost without exception they all rave about the band! You did us proud and if you don't pick up a good few more events to play at I'll be very surprised - lots of people have asked who you were so I'll make sure I pass on details. I hope the B&B was Ok and you all made it back safe and sound and I very much hope we'll find another occasion when you might all make it back to Somerset to play at another event. A HUGE thank you to you all - it was absolutely FANTASTIC - and good luck for the future of Plan B."
Romy Smallwood, Bride, August 2006
"I truly believe you are destined for greatness! So many guests, of all ages, commented on how great the band was. Of any aspect of the wedding, you were the most talked about. For me, you are the most perfect band - funky, upbeat, interacttive, sociable and intuitive. I was a little nervous having never heard you play before, but you exceeded all my expectations and more. Thank you all so very much for creating so much energy and fun - you made our day very special."
Suzy Boudier, Wedding, June 2006
"We did it! Our dream of raising over £1 million over the past three years for charity came true on Saturday night when we raised the magical total of £417,000. I am writing to record my thanks for taking the time out of your schedule to come along and support our event on Saturday night. Your superb performance wowed the crowd and the event has been hailed by all who attended as the best ever. Your contribution to the evening went a long way in helping us get to that fantastic total and I hope that you enjoyed the party as much as we did".
Tom Hunter, The Entrepreneurial Exchange, Glasgow Hilton
"Apologies in sending on our thanks for the unbelievably fantastic performance you gave at our wedding on December 9th Last year now! We have just got back from honeymoon, christmas and new year trips!
You guys were everything Will Frank said you would be and better. Everyone has raved about you guys and i believe we will be seeing more of you up here in Yorkshire which will be great.
I am looking forward to receiving our DVD to catch up on all that went on and take in all the fun and dancing where you had people going for it all night long.
You really were amazing and such great guys, please pass on our gratitude to the all the band. We would definately like you to come up again next time we have a party if you are available".
Bianca Hare, Bride, December 06
“We had seen Plan B at a friends wedding in Somerset last Summer and thought they were superb, so we hired them for our own wedding earlier this month. They were a great choice that we would make again and again. They are all clearly very high caliber musicians so the quality of their sound is extremely good but more importantly they have exceptional energy which gets everyone dancing – all generations. They turned out a beautiful and gentle “You Do Something To Me” by Paul Weller for our first dance and then cranked it up perfectly after. Highlights included “Living on a prayer” (Bon Jovi), a great version of “Fix You” (Coldplay) which they had kindly put together for us but nothing beat the electric “Can’t Stop me Now” (Queen) which got the entire reception thrashing it up at 1am. The best live wedding band we have ever seen by a country mile. Thank you".
