What can I say... although our wedding is now over a month ago, guess what everyone is still talking about.... the incredible band!!! I wanted to write to say thank you for such an amazing performance you put on for our wedding, the music was amazing and never was the dancefloor empty...FACT!!! You went well beyond our expectation and put on a night to remember, the only problem being was that no one wanted you to stop playing. I know a number of people have already been in contact as they were so impressed and you truly were the highlight of our wedding!!!
Jessica & Karl - Wedding
As a local councillor and past Mayor of my town and the many Masonic occasions I attend with my husband, I have heard many groups, All of the organisers agree your band has been the BEST we have heard in many many years. I would unreservedly recommend you for any function. You made a good night great and Bob Champion rang on Saturday and one of his first comments was how impressed he was with you all, please past on my thanks to the rest of the band, and we will be in touch for our next fund raiser, after we have recovered from this.
Cllr Deborah Reynolds - Ball
You were absolutely brilliant and it was no wonder that no one wanted to go home! We had saved up specially to have live music on the day and you guys made it well worth every penny. We were so chuffed that our special day ended with the big party we'd hoped for. The sound quality was great and you judged the mood really well with songs you played. There were people we had never thought we'd see on the dance floor! Lots of guests commented on how great you were and we'd also like to thank you for being so flexible when the schedule ran a little later than we'd expected.
Jess & Gary - Wedding
You were absolutely incredible! Personally, we were blown away by how good you were and we lost count of the number of guests who said likewise. You really were the perfect end to the perfect day. I hope you enjoyed playing for us as much as we enjoyed hearing you play (and dancing to it!).
David & Lydia - Wedding
The performance was brilliant and we had so many people compliment you guys and ask who you are. I was amazed at the amount of people you had up on the dance floor and I didn't want the night to end. You made the evening one to remember and I would love to have an excuse to book you again in the future!
Rebecca & James - Wedding
I would just like to say how amazing The Colours were at my wedding at Stapleford Park.... Very Professional and would recommend them to anyone. People still mention them now whenever the wedding is spoken about and they were definitely a highlight.

We booked The Colours for our wedding on 17th September. Just wanted to say that the band were fantastic and really helped to make the day special. The dance floor was busy from the first dance and was busy all evening - the sign of a good band. They were really nice guys and did some requests. They even let one of the guests get up and sing with them (though I wish they hadn't cause he's full of it now, its all you hear about!!). I would definitely recommend them for any wedding, party, function - superb.

Victoria Gardiner-Kell
The Colours played at our wedding this summer and we were so impressed that my husband hired them again for his work Xmas party in December! They were everything we were looking for - professional and reliable, but most of all very entertaining! The dance floor was full all night long and we received lots of positive feedback from our guests & the venue staff. Thanks to the band for a great night, hope to see you again soon!!
Katy & Andrew
