“The Startups played at our wedding reception! What an amazing band! Would highly recommend them.... they had loads up dancing and they sounded fab!

Fantastic! Couldn't have asked for a better band for our wedding!

5 stars - The Start Ups are Highly Recommended
booked The Start Ups for their Wedding in Hampshire

“Communication from the beginning was excellent, I felt reassured the band understood the music we were after, along with extra details like arranging arrival times. The Start Ups were fantastic on the night. The dance floor was always full. The guests loved them. We also booked for an acoustic set in the afternoon - also fab. Thank you so much. We really couldn't have asked for more. You read the crowd, were seemless when switching with the DJ and gave us some wonderful memories. I would recommend to anyone. x”


Great band - completed our perfect wedding

5 stars - The Start Ups are Highly Recommended
booked The Start Ups for their Wedding in Hertfordshire

“The band really made the night go with a bang - so many of the guests were asking me where we found them. Their range of songs suited the wide range of musical tastes of our guests, and had people of all ages dancing. They even learnt a special song for my wife to dance to with her Dad. In the run up Lynsey was very responsive and helpful in relation to any questions. If you're any doubt, don't be as they are brilliant!”


Family and fun filled Anniversary

5 stars - The Start Ups are Highly Recommended
booked The Start Ups for their event

“The overall the experience was great, from the booking system, feedback on set up requirements, to the wide choice of music set out in lists, all the way through to the excellent performance. The process was made stress free by a responsive service. We loved the music as did our guests. They built up the atmosphere, from mellow background to full on dance music. The dance floor was full to the end. What more can you ask of a party band? Peter and Fiona Brown: Review of 25th Wedding Anniversary Party, Archway London”
