"Hi BB Collective,
Josh and I just wanted to write to you to say a HUGE thank you for playing at our wedding. You were all absolutely fantastic, and we have had such amazing comments from all our guests about you guys.
You all made the wedding so brilliant... the dance floor was never empty. All the guests have said how impressed they were with the band. It was so lovely to meet you all... One of our guests actually thinks he was in love with one of you!! We will most definitely be recommending you to others!
Thank you so so much once again. I hope that you enjoyed yourselves anywhere near as much as we did!
Best wishes,
Philippa

"I must thank all of you for a great show and apologise for several things.
Firstly, the speeches etc went on longer than hoped and my singing should have been curtailed, as it disrupted your programme, but EVERYONE has complimented me on the band and said how good you were and a few have already asked for your details.
You really were fantastic.... thanks to all of you, for making my weekend so memorable....later this week I will forward some photos , once I have them from the photographer.
I will also recommend you to any of my business friends who often have do’s such as mine... I will be your best marketing tool!
Just one last thank you to the whole band for a great night!!

"I just wanted to write to say a massive thank you for playing at our wedding on 20th March.
We both just wanted to say how amazing we thought BB Collective were. So many people have commented how good they thought you were, and that they really enjoyed the dancing part of the evening. We will definitely reccommend you to anyone else who is having a big gathering any time soon!

"A big thank you for Saturday - so many people said on the night, or have emailed me since, to say how good you were. You played just the sort of music that made everyone want to dance.

"Just a short note to say a big Thank You for playing so wonderfully at my party on Saturday. I`ve had so many comments - all very positive.
One of our friends is a dubbing mixer for tv programmes and very into sound - he said that he heard the first four notes you played and knew you were going to be good!!
It really was great and I haven`t had such a good bop for ages.
