Janine H booked Happy Hour for their wedding at Hogarths in West Midlands

“Hi Richie, Both myself and Jonathan thought you were absolutely amazing!! My guests did too. One of my friends kept saying 'I thought they were playing a record, but it was actually them singing'! The quality of your vocals and music generally was brilliant and we'd recommend you to anyone. Sorry my drunken friends took over and howled like cats at the end!!!!

One of my friends kept saying 'I thought they were playing a record, but it was actually them singing'! The quality of your vocals and music generally was brilliant and we'd recommend you to anyone. Sorry my drunken friends took over and howled like cats at the end!!!! Your drummer was extremely patient letting them sing along and generally have a blast LOL! You were so professional we didn't even have to worry about a thing - you did everything as planned, were organised, friendly, and just made our perfect day even better! I'm so pleased you had a cancellation and fate ensured you were able to play at our wedding, as I couldn't imagine having another band. Thank you so much from us both x ” Read more

I really wanted one that would create a lively and happy atmosphere, and Happy Hour certainly gave us that. All our guests loved the music and I was even surprised that all the grandparents were up on the dancefloor! From start to finish things were excellent - we received quick confirmation from the manager regarding the date and time, written confirmation regarding the deposit paid, and then prior to the wedding, we were contacted by the band themselves to discuss the song selection and first dance. Happy Hour looked smart, were enthusiastic and played fantastically. Several guests took their details for upcoming events and I wouldnt hesitate to book them again. Thank you for a memorable night! Kind regards, Nicole Suares ” Read more

The band were absolutely fantastic and the female dep singer was brilliant. We couldn't recommend the band enough and we are more than happy for you to use this testimony wherever you see fit and we would also be happy to write a review in other places if it would help the band. The band were so flexible and they really didn't mind that we pushed our first dance later due to the nice weather outside. The band even let myself and my best man have a karaoke sing off with Emma and a friend! Our wedding day was absolutely perfect and The Edge was the icing on the cake. Kind regards, Mike and Emma Stuart” Read more
