Claire A booked The Silks for their event
“Gavin and all of The Silks - you guys were absolutely amazing last night at our wedding! When we were planning the day, we always had 3 things at the heart of it all: us getting married, the right people being there, and having a fantastic party. The latter wouldn't have been possible without you - absolutely sensational, and we hope that everyone's reaction and mental dancing were testament to just how good you are! Top night - thanks a million.”
We'll definitely be recommending you.
Steph A booked The Silks for their event
“Just wanted to say a big and belated thanks to The Silks, you played at our wedding at Peckforton back in January. We had the best time, and you went above and beyond all of our expectations to help make it an amazing evening. Thanks so much for arranging the first dance song. And the Power of Love worked brilliantly. We were so impressed, and had loads of great comments from our guests. We'll definitely be recommending you to anyone who's looking for some live entertainment in the future. Thanks again, you were awesome.”
