"Thank you guys so much! You were brilliant, I LOVED Islands in the Stream and my stepmum said she felt it was the most emotional moment of the day for her. Everybody said how great you all were and we really had such tremendous fun.
People were coming up to me and asking where we found you and how we knew you were going to be so brilliant. I told everyone the name of the band so I hope you get some follow up enquiries not least from any future wedding couples at Raven's Ait!

"Sorry I have not contacted you sooner but John and I have been away for a couple of days to recover! Thank you so much, the band was wonderful. You surpassed all expectations - everyone was talking about how brilliant you were.
Jessica and Graeme had a great time. The downside of this is Jessica's dress now looks as though she spent the weekend at the Leeds Festival! So sorry about the mud, I hope that cleaning the van isn't your responsibility!
With gratitude, Linda.
