Fantastic culture clash on our special day!
Matthew D booked Craic It Up for their wedding in Berkshire • August 2025

Great correspondence throu...”

What an epic musical experience
Dills B booked Country Cool for their event • August 2025
“OMG where to begin?!? What an amazing experience we had, from our initial contact with the group/owner/lead singer, Lilac, all the way through to our wedding day. Before booking we had a fair amount of correspondence, information bouncing backwards and forwards with my specific questions to their professional opinions and information. I had a vision which I presented and it was clear from the star...”
