    "We had the best wedding day which was in no small part due to the Kickstarts. They understood exactly what we wanted. We requested 3 sets which worked perfectly which allowed everyone to go to the bar in between. We were on the dancefloor all night. The organisation and build up were seamless. The band was very accommodating. Some of the guests who are getting married in the future have asked for the band's name because they were so good! Thank you so much for adding to the magic of our..." Read More

Thank you for listening to what we asked for and performing the ceremony and reception music. The father/daughter dance went down a treat, so again, thanks for keeping that on the down low. We were very keen to have live music that met our tastes, acted as good background music and got the dance floor..." Read More
