“Just to say everything was perfect! After doing lots of research and searching for a band to play our wedding we struggled for months to find anything that would be anything near perfect and the I found The Moonbeams! After watching a few videos of them I knew straight away that was the perfect band for the big day! And I was even more surprised when you told me the price, so I was absolutely thrilled when they were available as well. It really was the best day and the band just topped an already perfect day! They turned up on time and quickly got set up and ready. They started with a request that they learned in two weeks (which was covered beautifully) and continued with a superb set. They were friendly and enthusiastic. Every guest at the wedding really enjoyed them. I couldn't rate the day any higher.”

Hayley, Wedding, July 2018

“The Moonbeams were an incredible band who made our wedding day that extra special. A professional and highly entertaining group, whose music was infectious and got everyone dancing! The night ended with guests shouting 'encore!'”

Vittorio, Wedding at Huntsham Court in Devon, June 2018

“After spending weeks looking for a wedding band who could play more than the standard fare, we were intrigued on seeing their set list; finally a band who could satisfy all the guests with a mixture of classy soul, jazz and alternative pop. Once we listened to their demo we were sold; it was clear that the singer has the voice of and angel. However, this didn’t prepare us for the performance on the day, which exceeded all expectations. Love songs delivered with heartbreaking beauty and pop that had everyone off their seats until the last note of the evening. The Moonbeams are a wedding band for the discerning listener who gave us the perfect end to a perfect day.”

Matthew, Wedding at The Crown Inn in Oxfordshire, March 2018

“We booked this amazing band for a big birthday party in August. Their versatility and musical ability enabled all the guests to experience a variety of music including jazz, soul and old and new styles. They arranged covers to suit the occasion and had everybody singing along, dancing and really enjoying themselves. They played background music at first so that people could chat and moved onto more lively numbers as the evening went on. The female singer has a beautiful voice! I would highly recommend the Moonbeams for any event. You will be enthralled and entertained and certainly not disappointed!”
