Rory and Rachel Wedding

5 stars - The Central Street Band are Highly Recommended
booked The Central Street Band for their Wedding

“It goes without saying that Rory and I cannot thank you enough for all your incredible hard work, support, joy and love that you have provided us with over the last year. We have absolutely never heard such a talented bunch of musicians and to the tee what we were looking for – you blew our wedding day away. We've had family and friends saying it was the best ceremony they've seen with your surprise, people saying 'Crazy in Love' is 'paying rent in their head' brass band style since the wedding (in the best way) and everyone has said you are the best band they've ever seen played...big praise and believe me, it is no easy feat to get that sort of feedback. You smashed it! To convey it one last time, a huge heartfelt thank you from your biggest fans. We will never forget everything you did for us and hope to see you play again very soon.”
