“Thank you for playing such an amazing set at our wedding at Stoke Place this August. Everyone said what a fantastic band you are and the dance floor was packed right until the end of the night, with guests who had never previously spoken before dancing together because the music and the atmosphere was so good! Mim and James were both absolutely fantastic and Johnny and I are especially grateful with what you all did to learn our first dance song, you made it really special for us and it was absolutely perfect. You definitely made the night for everyone and we have been on a high ever since.“
