I just wanted to write you and the band a quick note to say thank you so much for being so brilliant at our wedding. Ed and I (and our guests) had such a great time dancing the night away – with a particular highlight being the conga line that formed at the start of the second set!
Just wanted to thank you for your help in choosing The Moonlights for our New Year’s Eve celebrations. They were excellent and all our guests loved them. It was a great evening. Best regards. Sandra. (Please pass on our thanks to them)
Just to let you know The Moonlights were fantastic, everyone loved them. Thanks for everything.
I would just like to say that the Moonlights were absolutely brilliant and perfect for our event. Thank you for helping me book them. I shall be using them again in the future.
Just a short email to say a massive thank you to you and The Moonlights, for playing our wedding on Saturday. They were absolutely incredible. They were enjoyed by all and had literally everybody up dancing. We had so many compliments on their behalf, so please pass these on. They made our special day even more fantastic. If you are able to tell me anywhere they are playing in the near future, Kim and I would love to go and reminisce.
These guys are brilliant and totally rocked our wedding! Our guests were so impressed and all had a great time. David is an amazing front man backed up by Carl, Simon et al. Top musicians & top blokes too, both friendly & professional. We had a great day and the band helped make it even more special (including helping with a surprise song by the bride!). A stunned groom was very appreciative! We can’t praise you highly enough, many thanks!
