Full dance floor all night at our wedding

5 stars - The Sublimes are Highly Recommended
booked The Sublimes for their Wedding in Devon

“After another band cancelled on us, we were super happy that these guys could help us out. The jazz duo during canapes set the atmosphere perfectly. Phil was our singer - he had a superb voice and was a really nice bloke matched by the excellence of the band. Would recommend going for the extra brass/sax! Everyone stayed on the dancefloor all night, couldn't have asked for better.”


Made such a difference to the party.

booked The Sublimes for their Wedding

“The Sublimes were amazing!! Molly was so brilliant on the lead up and was very accommodating to our love of the blues brothers & first dance! They absolutely rocked it on the night and the dance floor was filled from start to finish (with myself never leaving it for a second)! Everyone has since said how incredible they were and we totally agree! We also went for the brass extra and I have to say it was totally worth it! Molly was great on advising what songs would really enhance the brass too so we really made the most of it! Such a great and friendly group of people! Thank you so much for making our wedding one of the best days of our lives!!!”
