Many thanks to you and the band for playing at our wedding on Saturday. We thought you were brilliant and so many people commented on how good you were. Hopefully you will get a few bookings out of it too.

Hi James,
I just wanted to pop you a note to say thank you all so much for the amazing job you did at our wedding on 3rd July - you were all amazing! Honestly, we have had so many letters and comments about how fantastic the music was, both band and DJ, it has been incredible. The dance floor was packed from start to finish.
I haven't got my mits on the official photographs yet but if you would like some of the dancing ones (if there are any good ones) when they arrive then please just let me know.
Please please do pass on our huge thanks to the whole team, you really helped make it a fantastic evening.
Thanks again

Hi James
I have been meaning to get in touch since we got back from honeymoon. I wanted to say a massive thank you for playing at our wedding on 12th June at Spetchley Gardens. You were so helpful and professional and the music was truly fantastic. Every one of our guests commented on how brilliant you all were; that you are the best wedding band they have ever heard (and we have been to a lot of weddings over the last couple of years!) We have some very memorable and hilarious photos from the dancefloor prompted by your superb music, so thank you very much indeed. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend you to anyone else looking for a wedding band... you were absolutely brilliant.
With best wishes

Hi James
Just a quick note to say many thanks to you and the rest of the band for some great entertainment at our wedding reception on 4th June. I know we had some issues with us running late but it was all taken in your stride and your performance was fantastic.
So many guests have commented on how good you were and how professional and polished you sound.
Rest assured if anyone asks us to recommend some entertainment, you will be top of the list.
Look forward to seeing you around Kingsbury.

Dear Smooth Criminals.
Andrew and I wanted to write to thank you for performing at our wedding at the “Queen’s House” on 14th May. Both of the sets you performed were amazing and the first dance was fantastic!
We received lots of comments from our guests about how great you were , so shall pass on your contact details.
Many thanks again.

Wedding Reception Party, London, May 2010.
We found the Smooth Criminals from their website, which we were immediately impressed by, as they covered a wide range of songs and looked professional. We were not let down on the night, the combination of male and female vocals added great variety to the songs, and got everybody dancing from the start. All the band members had a relaxed, happy and energetic vibe which came over in their performance and added to the atmosphere on the night. James, the drummer DJ’d to fill in the gaps, which kept everybody dancing.
They really topped off a great day with a superb performance and lots of guests said how much they enjoyed the evening and the music.

We wont hesitate to use you again for the next celebration.

Hi James,
Many thanks to all of you for a fab night of music on Saturday. We're so sorry for the late running of the evening!! Nothing to do with us, I have to say - just endless talking by some (that could have been done during your break!) Everybody was very impressed with you, including us!
We shall certainly recommend your band for the future. Thank you again for being so punctual too.
Kind Regards

“The Smooth Criminals helped create a brilliant atmosphere at Gavin and Kerry’s wedding, the playlist was great, lots of classic hits! They also had everyone up dancing for most of the night which is always difficult to do, definitely recommend them!”

Wedding Reception, Hinckley, March 2010.
I thought you and the band were fantastic, particularly the female vocals! You were great to deal with too, answering the brides endless questions and such, so thank-you – you helped make their day very special! I have lost count of how many of the guests complimented you to me, all I need to do now is think up another occasion to hire your band!
Cheers

Dear Smooth Criminals.
Thank you so much for the fantastic night you helped create at our wedding in January.
We really appreciate you learning “I Don’t Wanna Miss a Thing” as we’re sure it wasn’t the easiest! We had a perfect day and the night was so much fun, definitely due to the great music!!
Thanks again & kind regards,

Good morning
This is just to say a big "Thank you" to you and your band for your brilliant performance at my daughter's wedding reception in Hanbury on 23rd January.
You were very low key and efficient in setting up etc and we received many compliments about you from our guests. The opening song was great!
Thanks once again. Best wishes.

The Smooth Criminals were absolute professionals from start to finish. We were really impressed with how flexible and helpful the band was during the planning stages of our event.
On the night, they got everybody dancing and delivered an excellent set and were happy to keep the encores going!
We'd definitely work with The Smooth Criminals again for future parties!

Dear James and fellow Smooth Criminals!
Thank you so much for playing at our wedding party back in December. Throughout the night all our guests were commenting on how brilliant you were, and since then it's been a regular topic of conversation when speaking to them. We have been recommending you to everybody we know, so hopefully you can expect many more bookings from lots of our friends in the future! We were really impressed by the talents of all your band members, and your choice of songs was perfect - you seemed to quickly judge the tastes of our guests and play a continuous set of tracks which made sure everyone remained on the dance floor all night. We were so grateful that you were able to make the time to rehearse and play our 'first dance' even though it wasn't one of your usual numbers - and what an excellent job you did! It really meant a lot to us to have that personal touch.
Thanks again for making our party an even more special night to remember. Take care and best wishes to you all for 2010!

Thanks Smooth Criminals for a fantastic night of music for my 40th birthday party. The play list was exactly what I wanted – the kind of songs that get people up to dance and sing along to. You are all great musicians and in particular I was so pleased with the pianist who played continually for the first hour – what a pro! You really helped to make the night one to remember.

What a fantastic night and what a fantastic band; the Smooth Criminals certainly played their 'Get out of jail free' card to great effect! This is a young, vibrant band with a great repertoire and dancing the night away is just what everyone did.
Best wishes

"We recently attended a birthday party where Smooth Criminals performed. Right from the beginning of the evening they got guests up and dancing. The musicians and vocals were outstanding and there was enthusiastic cheering and clapping at the end of each song. First class repertoire. They created a warm relationship with their audience. Consumate professionals - we highly recommend them."

“The best wedding band I’ve ever heard”
Kirsty Innes
Wedding, Surrey, September 2009.
"This was the first time I have experienced a night of The Smooth Criminals and what a pleasant surprise. Smooth they were and.....criminal if they don't go on to stardom! Unlike most of their gigs at weddings, we were fortunate to hear them play and dance at a 60th birthday party. Just goes to show how adaptable they are and how their professionalism caters for all ages and occasions. Bespoke is the keyword as they tailor their act to the individual requirements. Thank you all for a brilliant evening."

Hi James.
I'm delighted to write a testimonial for the Smooth Criminals, who played at our wedding. From the word go they were very professional. James is a very personable chap who was eager to please ensuring everything would be exactly as we wanted. He wrote a clearly agreed contract stating when they would arrive, set-up and play ect. On the day everything went smoothly, and they rocked! Clearly each individual member is a talented musician in their own right, and together they are a tight outfit. They played to the crowd and lots of encores. We had a perfect night, and our friends and family danced and loved it. Thank you very much!

Hello James,
I just wanted to send a note to say thank you so much to you and the band for the excellent set on the 20th December at our wedding party. It was exactly what I wanted and lots of the guests have commented on how great you all were. We really enjoyed it and everyone is saying what a great party it was.
I hope you and the band had a great Christmas and best wishes for the New Year.
Kind regards.

"What a Party"
We recently got married on the 25/10/08 and had one hell of a reception/party in the evening at Lanes Barn in south Oxfordshire. Following a great day the celebrations continued into the evening with all our family and friends, 120 plus arriving to the party with a fabulous band playing there stuff all night.
"The Smooth Criminals" What a brilliant band, they were so tight, great musicians and top vocals playing a great selection of hits, rock & roll, soul, jazz, a fantastic time had by all. Everyone up on the floor bopping to the late hours, Quite frankly we could not have picked a better band, even after 2 weeks the gang are still going on about the great music the band were playing at our celebration gig. There's just nothing like great live music and "The Smooth Criminals" are the band for any party.
To all the guy's in the band, thanks so much for making our night such a brilliant event. (we will have to do it again sometime).

Hi James. Hope you are well.
Wanted to say a big thank you! We had a great wedding, even the weather turned out great, it was sunny all day after weeks of rain!
The band were brilliant, really enjoyed them and the whole room danced and danced all night, they played requests for my bridesmaids which made their day and they really got involved with the guests and I couldn’t be more pleased with the music and the band members themselves, they were polite and certainly looked like they enjoyed themselves. I hope you enjoyed playing for us!

Dear James & All the band
I wanted to write to say an enormous thank you for playing so fantastically at our wedding on the 17th May!
We’re now back from honeymoon and settling down into real life but we had the most fantastic wedding! So many people have said how great you guys were and my uncle absolutely loved the chance to rock-n-roll dance, which was quite the experience for when my turn came.
One of my favourite memories of the day was dancing down the path from the marquee, at the end. We didn’t want to leave but we had to go and I skipped away from the best party ever to Summer of 69’ which you guys were playing fantastically and I just thought ‘what’ a perfect end to the day. Jealous that everyone else got to stay on and dance but so pleased that it had been such a success. So thank you all for being fab and making the day even more special.
All the very best,
Sophie.
