Amazing!

5 stars - Riff Kings are Highly Recommended
booked Riff Kings for their Wedding in Nottinghamshire May 2023

“Riff Kings kindly learnt our first dance as well as our opening number for us! We largely let them pick bits for the set based on what they know works best, and they really got it right. Our wedding guests were on the floor the whole time even during the DJ sets. They even did Tequila and got everyone to do a Conga and pick up more people to the dance floor! They were also great with guiding us on the best way to time things etc which was very helpful. Would recommend for sure!”
