“We booked November Soul to play at our wedding and they were absolutely incredible. Guests have passed on many compliments to us – they had us all up and dancing until we were all but dragged away kicking and screaming for more. We basically told them and Seventh Second what sort of things we liked and put our faith in them to put together a set list that would get everyone of all ages on the dancefloor. They absolutely nailed it! From funk, soul, pop, to a bit of cheeky indie, there was something for everyone. Jess and Tino performed for us as a duo after the service while everyone was having pictures taken and once again they set the mood perfectly with an expertly chosen and beautifully performed set. They were super efficient setting up and packing down and worked around the timings for the day so as to cause no interruptions.”
