More December 2023"We booked the Motown Boys to perform at our Christmas party held in Central London on the 5th December. We really wanted a live band to perform and get people dancing throughout the evening. As the venue was in a very congested area we had various sound restrictions leading us to question if we could get a high energy performance that didn’t lead to complaints being made by the venue’s neighbours. The band worked with the venue, to ensure that the evening went ahead without any issues. They then provided a DJ service until midnight saving us booking a DJ for the night too. I’d definitely recommend anyone to book this band if they want the best function band. From start to finish their only concern was how to deal with our needs and offered fantastic value for money. "

More November 2023"These guys played at our joint 50th last weekend, they were FANTASTIC! The dance floor was packed and rocking from before 10 right up to the final encore well after midnight. Their playlist was extensive and they were instrumental at creating a brilliant atmosphere. They were easy to communicate with prior to the evening and happy to answer any questions we had. They seemed lovely guys and we wouldn’t hesitate in recommending them – THANK YOU Motown Boys! "

More November 2023"The Motown Boys completely blew everyone’s socks off in the evening!! Everyone had the absolute best time and all our guests commented for months after how amazing they were and how The Motown Boys were ‘the best wedding band they’d ever seen!’. We agree! We couldn’t have asked for anything more. They also played our first dance perfectly! We would 100% recommend them to anyone for their wedding or event. You won’t be disappointed! Thank you so much for making our wedding go down in history amongst our friends and family! "

More August 2023"I can’t believe it’s over, can we do it again please??? Booking The Motown Boys to play at our wedding was one of the best decisions we made – the impact you had on our guests was just ridiculous, so many people fell in love with you guys! I really appreciate all of the time you spent talking to me and my parents before the day, making sure everything was in place and talking us through all of the details. It meant that I could relax knowing that everything was planned really well, and on the day you just knocked it out of the park. "

We’ve already told our friends they need to hire them next year for their wedding. Thanks for making our wedding day the best day ever! "

More September 2022"Brilliant, you helped make our wedding special. I also cc Eva, who had recommended you to me amongst a couple of names and I am so glad we went with you and Seventh Second. Your organisation and performance left us speechless. I trust you enjoyed the wedding as well and hopefully the food too. Your singing and your band mates were truly fantastic. I wish I could hear it again (maybe my 50 would provide an opportunity)! Best wishes- Mr and Mrs Burton from somewhere far away. "

More August 2022"I just wished to say how fantastic you were at our wedding. The aperitif music was the exact mood with a superb sound and performance, and then the post-dinner performance was out of this world. Every single person loved it…including the Italians! I also thank you for slipping in a few ‘cheese songs’ for me …which as I (and I know you) knew would go down fantastically!!! "
