An absolute world-class band!

5 stars - The MBB Band are Highly Recommended
booked The MBB Band for their Wedding April 2024

“An absolute world-class band! We booked them for our Wedding at Wyresdale Park, they became the absolute talking point of the whole day. They were all super professional, responsive and friendly. I couldn’t recommend them enough for anyone looking for something a bit different, but lively for their big day.”


The MBB Band brought a real touch of class

5 stars - The MBB Band are Highly Recommended
booked The MBB Band for their event April 2024

“The MBB Band brought a real touch of class to the conference dinner for UKES2024. It was like having Frank Sinatra in the room. Everyone I spoke to afterwards thought it was a fabulous piece of ambience. I am only sorry that I could not have had another 100 people there at the event to enjoy the fab. music.”


The icing on the cake of an amazing day!

5 stars - The MBB Band are Highly Recommended
booked The MBB Band for their Wedding in Nottinghamshire December 2023

“MBB were absolute stars at our wedding reception. They were courteous when we were a few minutes late arriving, played a personalised intro, and 2 sets of amazing music that got the guests dancing and mingling. It was worth every penny, and beats a DJ any day of the week! As professional musicians ourselves it was important to us to fill our day with high-quality music: MBB did not disappoint!”


Absolutely brilliant and better than we could have imagined!

5 stars - The MBB Band are Highly Recommended
booked The MBB Band for their Wedding September 2023

“John and I just wanted to thank the band for playing for our wedding on 30/9/23 at Combermere Abbey. You were absolutely brilliant and better than we could have imagined! So many people commented about how great it was, inparticular how good "Creep" was! I know you won't believe but John and I have been together for 11 years and I have never seen him on a dancefloor- hence the hesitancy about the first dance. However, with you playing- I couldn't get him off it!!!! Please pass my thanks on to all the band. Hannah x”


Literally cannot recommend this band enough!

5 stars - The MBB Band are Highly Recommended
booked The MBB Band for their Wedding September 2023

“Literally cannot recommend this band enough! They were absolutely brilliant at our wedding (the videos don't do them justice!) and the range of songs was fab! So many guests at our wedding commented about how good they were and everyone was on the dancefloor, irrespective of how much they thought they liked Big Band music. From an admin point of view, Chris was really helpful and responsive and it was a really easy process. I would 100% recommend anyone else to book them for any event you are planning”
