I would just like to send a HUGE THANK YOU to Lara, Mick and Greg for their amazing entertainment at our wedding on Friday!
The ceremony and canapé music was amazing. Lara did a stunning job of "Tale as Old as Time", something I'll never forget! So special to have them learn a new song for us :)
Our guests also won't stop talking about how much fun HYPE brought to the reception! Everyone was on their feet and had so so much fun!
Will definitely recommend to anyone I know planning a wedding! Everything went so smoothly and was just so great!!!!

And of course, thank you to yourself for all the coordination! Teagan and Tom Middleton Xx”

Hi
Jo and I just wanted to thank all of you so much for playing such a massive part in our wonderful wedding.  

Jenny, you made planning the whole thing, getting the song list sorted, creating the run list and so on so easy for us. It was such a pleasure working with you.

And Mick the band were just amazing in every respect. Please do thank everyone for us.  The duet in the vineyard  was perfection, the duet in the courtyard matched the vineyard and then the band for the evening party was mind-blowingly good!! You played all our favourites and - as you saw - everyone danced all night long! The floor was rocking! As well as being so musically brilliant, we absolutely loved the sense of fun that you brought to everything and we have had so many people commenting on how amazing you were.
You really played a massive part in making our day so special and we are incredibly grateful to you for that. If you ever need a heartfelt testimonial, then you only have to ask!
Thank you very much again"
