  • Function Central helped to make our event planning run smoothly by being professional and efficient, dealing with enquiries quickly and keeping us informed at all times.
    Caroline, Corporate Event, September 2011
  • I found the service provided by Function Central to be professional, prompt and painless - just what is needed with the stress of trying to plan the big day! Thank you for the role you played in helping provide Sam the trumpeter, we had so many compliments about his playing, and he helped add some extra magic to a very special ceremony.
    Emma, Wedding, September 2011
  • We knew we wanted live music at our wedding, but we didn't have a specific band in mind and we were unable to rely on well connected friends. Function Central was suggested by a friend and after a quick Google search we were building a list of favourite bands. We were able to expand on our original ideas for a band by browsing through the large selection from all over the country on the website. Demo clips gave you a good taster of what the band was all about and testimonials further guided your choice. After expressing an interest in a band (s), Julian at Function Central was easy to get in touch with and most helpful. After we made our choice, Four Leaf Clover, Julian was able to show us some more promo material before we finally decided. Booking the band was very straight forward and was done with minimal fuss. We spoke to the band a couple of times in the week leading up to the wedding and making the finer arrangements with Gareth was straightforward.
    Andrew, Wedding, September 2011
  • The service from everyone at Function Central was great, they responded to our correspondence promptly and made sure any changes we requested were implemented efficiently.
    Louisa, Wedding, September 2011
  • Having searched the internet for a live band to play at our wedding in Cornwall, we came across the Function Central website just as we were about to give up and book a DJ. The team at Function Central were incredibly helpful in helping us find the perfect act for our Wedding Reception, in the perfect price range - I would highly recommend them to anyone planning a wedding anywhere in the country...in their vast collection of acts/ bands there will be the perfect group for you!
    Ellie, Wedding, August 2011
  • We can't thank you enough for providing the service that you did. The last minute change of bands actually turned out to be a stroke of amazingly good luck, as Superted were so good. Please pass on my thanks to Ali for ringing me and sorting out the change of band - it saved the wedding! So many, many thanks for your organisation and professionalism, Function Central is certainly a company I will now recommend to others looking for live entertainment for weddings or other functions.
    Neil, Wedding, August 2011
  • I was also very pleased with Function Central’s role in liaising with the band. We obviously made a few changes along the way and you always kept me informed the details. All in all we were very happy and it made our wedding very special so thank you!
    Chris, Wedding, July 2011
  • Great service from Function Central. This is now the fifth year we have used you and the service is highly efficient and professional. The advice given about bands to use has been much appreciated

    Gemma, Wedding, July 2011
  • Beverley, it was really pleasant interacting with you and the rest of your team at Function Central to plan the music for our wedding. You were incredibly prompt in replying to any email, really helpful at all stages in the process, and generally just so nice to deal with and talk to on the phone. I will wholeheartedly recommend Function Central to my friends (when they start getting married!) - it really made the process of finding a band infinitely less daunting!
    Clarissa, Wedding, Gloucestershire, July 2011
  • Function Central offer a brilliant service and were very helpful when I was trying to choose a band - something which I've never had to do before and didn't know where to start! I will definitely use them again and have already recommended them to lots of people.
    Emily, Wedding July 2011
  • I would definitely book again with Function Central. Everything was straightforward, the level of service excellent with speedy replies to any query no matter how small.
    Nicola, Wedding, July 2011
  • 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, June 2011
  • I also found you guys very helpful and easy to deal with. The website and bands' profiles is very helpful and you are very positive about the bands that you promote, which seems obvious, but really does help as it's a big decision and any confidence you can give over to clients that they're doing the right thing is very useful.
    Ian, Wedding, June 2011
  • I had a lot of contact with Function Central to sort out paperwork for my venue. I was always emailed back within a day and my questions were always answered fully. I have recommended you to friends and family and will definitely use you in future!

    Lynne, Wedding, Wales, May 2011

    Angela, Wedding, Hertfordshire, May 2011
  • A massive thank you to you guys at Function Central who have been exceptionally helpful in taking the stress out of what can be an extremely stressful part of the wedding planning. The two acts we booked were better than perfect; contacted us before the day to discuss our needs, were punctual and professional and exactly what we had expected from the reviews. Beverley was great in dealing with our requests from the outset and we have already recommended the site to friends and family. Thanks again for making our day as special as it could be. Thanks again to you both.
    James and Sophia, Wedding, West Midlands, May 2011

  • I stumbled across Function Central whilst looking for entertainment options for our wedding. Planning a wedding is really stressful and they made my life much easier by being so organised and efficient. Any questions I had were answered really promptly and the process of booking could not have been easier! They were really organised and I felt gave me a really personal service which is all too often lacking nowadays!

    Isaac and Ian, Civil partnership, London, March 2011
  • When my now husband proposed and we started planning our wedding the only thing I absolutely wanted was a live band for our evening reception. Living in Manchester I thought we'd have no problem finding a band but soon found that it wasn't quite that easy! After endless internet searches I came across Function Central - it was then plain sailing all the way to our wedding day! Your service and website were extremely professional and I have had no hesitation in recommending your services to family and friends. Thanks again.
    Laura and Simon, Wedding, Manchester, February 2011
  • I have booked bands through Function Central for five years now and have found Ali, Mike, Bev and the team really helpful and efficient. The website is comprehensive and easy to use and any extra advice that you need they are happy to give. Everything is made as easy as possible which is a real bonus when trying to organise a large event – at least you know the music side of things is in safe hands!
    Fiona, Corporate event, London, January 2011
  • The agency were really good. I had a few queries/problems before the party. Function Central kept me well informed and answered all my worries. Great people you have there!
    Nancy, Party, Surrey, January 2011
  • Function Central - what a brilliant facility! I booked the band at relatively short notice and Function Central were really quick to reply to my enquiries and then to send me invoices and take my payment. For someone who had never had a live band at an event and hadn't had any suitable recommendations from anywhere else, Function Central was a perfect place for me to browse through bands both in terms of budget and the type of music I wanted. The online samples of the bands tracks were particularly helpful.
    Rachel, Birthday party, London, January 2011
  • Function Central provide the highest professional standards for all clients, be they corporate or private. They have a vast array of performers to choose from, who are each versatile in their own right. Their very flexible team make for a swift process to cater for any requests, and at very competitive prices.
    Nick, Corporate event, Surrey, December 2010
  • In terms of the service - everything worked smoothly and without complication from booking to liaising with the the band, them turning up, setting up and then packing up without any disruption whatsoever. All round very professional.
    Jonathan, Wedding, Lancashire, November 2010
  • Probably like a lot of people, I don’t know any bands or musicians so I was very relieved when I stumbled across the Function Central website as it contains a huge database of different acts and allows you to filter on area, price and genre to narrow down the choice. You can also listen to sample music and view playlists which helps you choose an act which suits your needs. Function Central liaise with the band and draw up the contracts so it takes a great deal of stress out of the arrangements. The service provided by Function Central was excellent and I wouldn’t hesitate to use them again.
    Nick, Wedding, Lancashire, November 2010
  • Many thanks for your service - we're very glad we booked the band through Function Central. Other agencies websites weren't as informative and it put me off using them. The booking felt secure and organised which was a relief when there's already hundreds of other things to stress about on planning a wedding!
    Mei, Wedding, Cambridgeshire, October 2010
  • Also thanks to Function Central for the organisation. I was a bit worried about using a big company I'd found on the internet as I thought the process might be impersonal and expensive, but you were neither! Excellent service so thanks. We'd definitely use Function Central and the Blue Rhythm Duo again!
    Jamie and Emma, Wedding, Southampton, September 2010
  • Function Central were very helpful and easy to deal with. I thought the website was easy to use and especially liked the fact that you can listen to the bands. The whole process went very smoothly from booking to party. Thank you very much.
    Debbie, 50th Birthday, London, September 2010
  • And the service from you guys - well your web site couldn't be better for helping us choose what we wanted. I did a fair amount of digging around on the web and nothing matched your service. So well done and thanks; The Fandangos helped make our wedding reception really special.
    Bernie, Wedding, West Midlands, August 2010
  • Function Central were easy to deal with, very friendly and helpful when contacted. There was a lot of understanding when I was slow in getting back the booking forms and I was talked through the options. Overall - I will use the agency again with no hesitation.

    Mark, 40th Birthday Party, Sussex, July 2010
  • The team at Function Central were very helpful and were able to answer all my queries in the run up to the Steel Pan Band (The Merry Makers) booking for our big day! All correspondence, whether a call or an email, were responded to promptly and this was very reassuring. All paperwork was straight forward to complete and the terms and conditions clearly defined. Function Central were able to fully cater for our day, from the timings of each session to the locations of the band within the hotel grounds to the play list. Function Central did, as intended, deliver a steel pan band which was a great accompaniment to our perfect day! The booking was worth every penny and more! We would definitely recommend Function Central for our future bookings and those of our families and friends.
    Jigna, Wedding, West Sussex, July 2010
  • We were really pleased with the service we had from Function Central, they were fabulous. They were quick to reply and answered any query we had. I would definitely recommend Function Central to a friend that was looking for a band for a function, as the service and response was excellent.
    Craig and Michelle, South Wales, July 2010
  • A professional booking service was provided by Function Central who gave very helpful advice on the most suitable act for our particular event. They continued to be very helpful right the way through the booking process and even after the event by following up on how the night went. My thanks go to all involved.
    Lizzie, Wedding, London, July 2010
  • We also found Function Central to be very helpful in arranging the group for us. All communication was promptly responded to and we always felt confident using the platform. I would equally have no hesitation in recommending Function Central to anyone looking for a band for any sort of event. Thank you all, for all your help and should we be in need of a band again in the future, we will be sure to get in touch!
    Paul and Helen, Wedding, May 2010
  • Function central dealt with everything I needed quickly and efficiently, found me the perfect entertainment and got back to every email I sent really quickly which is especially important when planning your big day. On behalf of myself and my husband I'd like to say thank you to all three acts for making our day extra special.
    Jenny, Wedding, West Midlands, May 2010
  • Everything about booking Plan B through Function Central was made easy and straight forward. With the website you are able to go through the different bands that the agency have to offer and when you've made your choice it was easy to confirm by email. Trying to plan a wedding and working meant email was a lot easier rather than having to make endless phone calls in lunch breaks! When I had any questions or changes to make and then closer to the day confirming playlists and asking if the band would be able to play our first dance song Mike at Function Central was quick to respond putting my mind at ease. Thank you!
    Clare, Wedding, May 2010
  • Function Central were extremely professional and hassle-free to deal with from the off. They clearly have a large number of acts to help cater for every occasion, so it was a relief when Mike and the team helped guide us to the most appropriate act for our evening (and our budget). We were not disappointed - the act we chose was superb. I would highly recommend using this agency.
    James and Claire, Party, Kent, March 2010
  • Function Central is a most professional organisation. They were thoughtful in matching the right group to my audience and were hugely organised. I shall certainly use their services again. This is a seriously good company who I would highly recommend.
    John, Student Event, Oxon, March 2010
  • We would also like to thank Function Central for the wonderful service you provided us with. Having never arranged anything like this before I felt you were always on hand to deal with any query I put your way! We would highly recommend you to all of our friends and family! Many thanks again for all of your help!
    Claire, Wedding, January 2010
  • Function Central were amazing, very efficient, replied to any queries we had promptly and were very friendly. I would definitely come to you first when planning another function and have already recommended you to friends who are planning weddings.
    Sammy and Ed, Wedding, Cheshire, February 2010
  • I have used Function Central when booking bands for the firm’s New Year party for a number of years now and have found them professional and reliable. The website is fun, user friendly and comprehensive and they have a diverse portfolio of bands to suit all musical tastes, occasions and pockets. The staff I have dealt with – namely Alistair, Mike and Beverley have been great and it’s been a pleasure doing business with them!
    Fiona, NYE Party, January 2010
  • As an event organiser I have to deal with scores of agencies and suppliers. At all times I seek professionalism, value and confidence in those who TrailPlus works with. Function Central delivered on all three counts and provided a quality band that not just met our brief but exceeded our expectations.
    Paul, Corporate Event, Derbyshire, November 2009
  • Function Central were great, its really useful to have a 'one stop shop' to cater for all music tastes. The website was informative, the links to listen to the music were good and the service was great and informative. I couldn't have been happier. Many Thanks
    Jessica, Wedding, October 2009
  • I think Function Central is a fantastic resource for busy people organising parties - the service was prompt and very helpful and we were offered a range of bands to suit our party and across a range of budgets. I didn't need to worry about a thing. We will use you again (for my 40th next year) - and have recommended you to other people!
    Sarah, 40th Birthday, October 2009
  • A big thanks to Function Central who helped organise “Plan B” to play at our wedding reception. Mike was brilliant throughout and always answered my endless questions promptly. I think the website looks great and is easy to use clearly explaining everything. I would highly recommend Function Central to anyone who is looking to book a live band. Thanks again.
    Lisa and Spencer, Wedding, Lincolnshire, September 2009
  • I found Function Central on the internet, after looking on their website I found they listed all of the bands and prices clearly and gave song examples for each one. It was easy for me to see the different band genres and ultimately find the band which suited us. I contacted Function Central (Mike) on a few occasions to ask him questions and he always came back to me quickly. I can highly recommend them.
    Lucie, Wedding, London, September 2009
  • We booked the band through Function Central who were very efficient, sending me the tracks to listen to via email as my work PC blocked me from listening to them on the web. They responded to questions I had quickly and acknowledged receipt of my deposit as soon as they had received it. I would definitely book through Function Central again.
    Victoria, Wedding, September 2009
  • Thank you so much to the band and all those at Function Central who made the whole process so easy for us. It's a fantastic facility to use. The party is such an important part of a memorable wedding and we will never look back on our decision. We hope to be able to use you guys again if we have a big celebration in the future.
    Gillian and Kevin, Wedding, September 2009

  • The whole process from listening to the bands on the internet through hiring them, agreeing with the contract terms and conditions to the actual day was seamless and very well handled. I would also have no hesitation in recommending Function Central as a booking agency.

    Andy Taylor, Wedding, Sussex, August 2009

  • Function Central was able to provide my wife and I with an outstanding band. I found Alistair very helpful to liaise with and once my wife and I had chosen the band ‘Happy Daze’, the booking was effortless and quick which allowed us to concentrate on other wedding organisation! The website was great to use with the snippets of music and biographies of band members as well as extensive track lists, it allowed us to pick the band that matched our iPod perfectly and sounded simply awesome on the night! So thank you to all who helped from Function Central.

    Thomas and Amy Izod, Wedding, Essex, August 2009

  • Function Central did everything we would have wanted. They were helpful with finding us the perfect band and kept up great communication throughout. No hitches, no problems, highly recommended. Thank you and could you also send our thanks onto the Trunkies.

    Gill Brett, Corporate Event, East Sussex, August 2009

  • Regarding Function Central – again a very positive experience and pleased I was able to find such a good wedding band through yourselves.  Also very accommodating at providing a gesture of discounted price to enable us to secure the band we wanted for our wedding. Thanks again.

    John Fenwick, Wedding, Warwickshire, August 2009

  • On the service offered by yourselves at Function Central, we think that you have a really good and valuable service to offer in particular for people in our situation where we had to go on the recommendations and quality of mp3's. Both of the acts were really strong in this regard which aided us in our selection. I guess you have to stand by the quality of your acts and in the case of Jim and The Kids, you have nothing to worry about as we are confident that they will continue to get more bookings by keeping performing at this level. We will only be happy to suggest you to anyone else who is looking for live bands for weddings etc.

    Cillian Geraghty, Wedding, Essex, August 2009

  • Function Central provided an excellent service. The forms and contracts were sent promptly and the FAQs on the Help & Advice page meant that I really knew what the deal was right from the off. Everybody was very friendly, helpful and professional. I couldn't have been happier with the whole thing. Extremely highly recommended!! Thank you so much for making my big day so special!!

    Sam Lowther, Wedding, Leicestershire, July 2009

  • Function Central provided an efficient and friendly service and I would recommend them to any volunteer wishing to ‘take the pain’ out of the administration required when booking live bands for social functions at a Golf Club or similar organization.

    Mike MacNulty, Royal Epping Forest Golf Club, Essex, July 2009

  • Function Central was a perfect for my requirements. The site provided a great selection of live bands to choose from and allowed direct communication with the bands to establish suitability and availability. I’d recommend Function Central to anyone who is organising an event a wants a choice of great acts for wedding entertainment.

    Nick and Daniela Rae, Wedding, Sussex, July 2009

  • We booked Penfold at very short notice. It was with your assistance that helped find a band that suited our needs. The admin was handled speedily and efficiently. This was our first visit to your agency and I can, without any hesitation, state that the service you gave was first class. I would have no hesitation in recommending you. Good luck for your and Penfolds future.

  • We had spent months looking for a band to hire before we came across Function Central. We were impressed with the easiness of booking and paying - 1 email and 2 telephone conversations and with how easily everything worked out. We would definitely recommend the Trunkies and Function Central to our friends and family!!!!

    Catherine Branston, Wedding Reception, North Yorkshire, July 2009

  • In terms of Function Central, you have a good selection of live bands for hire, your website made finding the right band easy with the samples of the bands and the ability to search in different ways.  You were able to find a creative solution for us when it looked like we couldn't find an available band in our price range.  As I said, the 3 piece Penfold were brilliant - even better than we had hoped. Many thanks for all your help and please do let the band know how much we (and all the guests) appreciated them.

    Alexia Thornberry, Wedding, London, July 2009

    Sarah and Phil Cleary, Wedding, Warwickshire, July 2009

  • We used Function Central to book a band for our wedding this year.  They have a great list of bands for all occasions, themes, and moods.  I found them very easy to deal with - full of advice and quick to respond to my emailed questions.  This was really important as I live in Australia and couldn't get to England before the wedding to personally trial several bands.  Thanks Mike for all your help, especially for arranging demo CDs to be sent half way across the world.  Very much appreciated.  I will definitely use / recommend Function Central in the future. You really do provide a very good service.

  • […] and Function Central worked very smoothly. We got a very quick phone reply to our website query and the contract was put in place very efficiently. No quibbles. Your listing of bands was more comprehensive and useful than any other booking agency.

    Dave White, Wedding, Hertfordshire, June 2009

  • My thanks also to Function Central through whom we booked the band - very professional out-fit and good communication. With so many other things to worry about with a wedding, Function Central took all the stress of arranging the evening's entertainment away.

    Gavin Hughes, Wedding, Bristol, June 2009

  • We were totally thrilled with the service we received from you and even more delighted with Groove Club, they were fantastic, played a wide range of music, everyone at the ball said how amazing they were, some even thought they were playing CD when they arrived as they were so good. We have tried to re book Groove Club for our next years Summer Ball but they are already booked! A huge disappointment to us!

    Zoe Mantel, Summer Ball, Hampshire, June 2009

  • Agency was very efficient and great to keep everything simple.

    Chris Anders, Wedding, Lancashire, May 2009

    Theres Oliver, Wedding, 18th Birthday, June 2009

  • I don’t really have any comments to make about your agency apart from the fact I found you extremely professional, friendly and courteous whenever I needed to contact you. First class service.

    Chris Jones, Wedding, Berkshire, June 2009

  • Thanks Mike and the team for all your help and professionalism in organising a live band for our wedding reception. As you know we lost a band very close to our wedding day only for you guys to step in to help - and what a fantastic choice in Century. Your website was really useful and easy communication and booking between us took away all the worries. Best wishes and thanks again.

    Nicola Gibson, Joint 40th Birthday / 10th Anniversary Party, Essex, May 2009

  • Booking through Function Central made arranging the entertainment very easy. You were very helpful with a vast choice of live bands and tribute acts to choose from. Prices were very reasonable and everything down to how many electricity sockets you need was explained. Thank you for your help, the party was one to always remember!!

    Christiane Singh, 18th Birthday Party, Lancashire, May 2009

    Caitlin Morrison, Wedding, Surrey, April 2009

  • The band were flexible about what to include on the set-list and the whole set up process with Function Central was incredibly easy. They were quick to respond to any questions and kept things straightforward and clear. We really lucked-out finding Hudson for our wedding. They couldn’t have been more ideal. Thank you so much!

    Sally Panayiotou, Wedding, Durham, April 2009

  • Hi Ali, Gopal and I would like to thank you very much for providing us with DJ Sammy and Phoenix on our wedding night they went down a storm, our guests were constantly on the dance floor strutting their stuff, everybody loved the band and they sounded fantastic. So could you please pass on our personal thanks to them both for us and hope we will be able to use your services again in the near future.

    Gopal and Karen Kutwaroo, Wedding, Surrey, April 2009

  • Dear Alastair, just a quick note of thanks after our booking of 'Abba Angels' through Function Central last weekend. The girls were great and the party went very well. I have to say I was pleased with the way my booking was dealt with....smoothly and efficiently which is not always the case!

    Julie Green, 40th Birthday Party, Kent, May 2009

  • With regards to Function Central, we had no problems at all. We went away for 6 weeks as we made the booking, but you still managed to maintain contact! Everything was very smooth on the day of our party, and our confidence in you made sure the band were one less thing to worry about!

    Adam and Jo Harris, London, 40th birthday, March 2009

  • Your agency was a joy to work with. The service we received was outstanding and helped to make our stressful wedding day go smoothly. Every aspect of the agency was efficient, friendly and helpful. The whole thing was 10/10.

    Daniel Barnes, Wedding, Hampshire, March 2009

  • We would most certainly use the company again as we had a fast friendly response to our initial enquiry and would most certainly recommend friends family to use the service.

    Senga Meenagh, Funeral Lunch, Scotland, March 2009

  • We were looking to book a Blues Brothers Band for a retirement party, so I was extremely pleased I found Function Central.  They made everything so easy to organise. It was great to speak to someone who was friendly and helpful and there was continuous excellent customer service from the original enquiry to the event.  All bookings and payments were confirmed by e-mail and a personal phone call on the actual date. A truly professional company offering a top service, I would definitely use them again!  

    Debbie Morris, Retirement Party, Derbyshire, January 2009

  • Function Central were of course entirely responsible for us finding and booking the band for our special day and made the whole search and book experience really quick and easy.  Being able to chat with you guys helped us to feel more comfortable committing to a wedding band we hadn't heard live too so thank you for that. All in all a great band sourced through a really professional booking agency that helped us to have a great wedding.  I'm just sorry it has taken me 9 months and a prompt to convey my thanks. Please pass these comments on to Penfold and wish them the very best of fortune for the future.

    Sam Wilamowski, Wedding, Suffolk, January 2009

  • The level of service received from yourselves was excellent, communication was spot on and a friendly voice was always at the end of the phone.  We wouldn’t hesitate to use your company again. Many thanks.

    Kim Chapman, Christmas Party, Buckinghamshire, January 2009

  • The service I received from your company was very professional and all e-mails / questions were answered in a very timely manor.

    Geraldine Haslop, Wedding, January 2009

  • Big thanks of course is also due to yourself & Alistair for helping to organise the band in the first place and for taking care of things when the previous wedding band we'd hired had to pull out unexpectedly. Your professionalism was very much appreciated. THANK YOU VERY MUCH!

    Andy Prince, wedding reception, Kent, December 2008

    Edwina Dewar, wedding reception, Warwickshire, August 2008

    Marie Scott, Wedding reception, Guildford, August 2008

  • Thank you Mike & Alistair for your invaluable help and advice. You were very patient with us even after a month of to-ing and fro-ing between different bands. Best of luck for the future.

    Sera Watkinson, Wedding reception, Cumbria, July 2008

  • Just a quick note to thank you for the arrangements and for the band we hired for Saturday night. They were excellent, and everyone really enjoyed it, especially us! We didn't get a chance to thank them at the end of the night, so can you please pass on our thanks to them.

    Matthew & Sian Hewitt, Wedding, Surrey, April 2008

  • Alex and the guys were absolutely brilliant when they played at our wedding reception at Highfield Park on April 12th, and they 'made' our evening: the dance floor was packed (with all ages) the entire night. Even their iPod selection was genius, and our friends are still talking about them two weeks later. So a big thank you to Function Central for a great service, and an even bigger thank you to Alex and Happy Daze, who, incidentally, would be cheap at twice the price!!

    Matt & Sarah Ayers, Wedding, April 2008

  • Just wanted to say a huge thank you for booking our wedding band and afternoon reception music for us. They were superb and everyone really enjoyed them. They both helped to make our special day even more magical. Thank you again, Rachel Cooper (Mrs)!!!!

    Rachel Bradshaw, Wedding reception, Edgbaston, March 2008

  • Alistair, just wanted to thank you for all your help in organising the DJ and band for my event in Birmingham, the DJ was excellent and the band absolutely brilliant and really made the evening memorable.

    Jim McCafferty, Work party, Birmingham, December 2007

  • A friendly professional service - thanks for taking the stress out of choosing our wedding entertainment. Many thanks.

    Ed Bloomfield, Wedding reception, Bucks, August 2007

  • Thanks for the cover band guys. They were brilliant, big time. I love the Killers, and the lads renditions were ace. The camp were impressed and I got a pat on the back. Your details are up on our entertainment board, and a lot of people are asking who I went through. Hopefully we'll do business again. Really appreciate it.

    Mark Handscombe, 39 RHQ Regt, Mess Ball, Surrey, July 2007

  • From the first point of contact, you were really friendly and helpful and incredibly patient! Thanks for bearing with us. I feel we definitely (with your help!) made the right choice hiring the Cortinas. Lovely guys and we hope to see them again on their rise to rock stardom.

    Jo Haines, Wedding reception, Essex, June 2007

  • What can I say? Simply the most comprehensive and professional wedding entertainment agency I have ever used - great choice, value for money and expert advice. There is only one serious choice - Function Central.

    Lewis Martin, Event Coordinator, Cambridgeshire, May 2007

  • You guys were great on so many levels. Personable, friendly, experienced and it really shows that you guys know your music - great selection of wedding bands, tribute acts, jazz and classical music, and all reasonably priced! Such a refreshing change!

    Sarah Jessop, Wedding co-ordinator, Mark and Angie Rider's wedding reception, Berks, April 2007

  • A friendly and professional service throughout. All our enquiries were dealt with promptly and efficiently. I can't recommend you enough.

    Tim Mcaw, 40th Birthday party, Nottinghamshire, September 2006

  • With a last minute cancellation, disaster was very nearly upon us. Thank you for working so hard in finding a replacement band.

    Tony Rettie, Wedding reception, London, September 2006

  • Thanks so much for pointing us in the direction of Plan B. The band were outstanding and even better than we expected. You were great throughout all the planning - if only the caterers were as on the ball as you were!

    Beth and Jules King, Wedding reception, Middlesex, August 2006

  • We spent ages searching for a wedding band before we found Function Central - with so many great sounding live bands for hire the decision seemed even harder, but you helped us make a choice quickly and painlessly and even the in-laws were impressed! Thanks for your expert advice and we will certainly pass on your details to family and friends should the occasion arise.

    Tom Stokes, Wedding reception, London, August 2006
