Testimonials

My (now) wife and I booked Sugar Shack for our wedding reception in January 2013. Despite the slightly awkward venue (small and oddly shaped) and the late running of the meal beforehand, the band were absolutely professional, very friendly and accommodating and - most importantly - sounded utterly brilliant. Those who wanted to dance were treated to a great selection of tunes to strut their stuff to and those who have two left feet (like myself) could just admire the tremendous musicianship and energy. Highly recommended!

-David and Ginny

thay are fabulas singers and even dance and get in to the music all the wat through watch the vidio and you will see what i mean

-penny

-Pete white

I spent ages researching to get a good band as this was one of the main things that mattered to me at our wedding. We chose Sugar Shack and these guys rocked. They played a great mix of tunes and the party went off. The dance floor was packed for the whole night and I would definitely recommend them to anyone.

We recently got married and hired Sugar Shack to perform at our reception. They were great! Very proffessional, i didnt have to worry about them on the day, they set up quietly in the room ajoining the main pavillion. They had people on the dance floor and people commented to us about how great it was having a live band. Thankyou so much to all of you for helping to make our day very special. Also a great agencie to deal with before getting in contact with the band.

I have to say also that as you were there in plenty of time and setup before our guests arrived, it made Dawn and I very relaxed about the whole event.
We would definitely recommend anyone who wants a live band to use you, you made the evening for us.

A huge thank you once more, we will not hesitate to use you again if we hold any more parties over the coming months / years.

"hi paul

you must have beat me to it by minutes, just sat down to email you.
we thoroughly enjoyed having you at our ball, you were all lovely and very professional. we have had nothing but great feedback and if the dancefloor was anything to go by i think we can say you were a big hit.
we have already booked next years band but i am pretty confident we will be in touch autumn of 2012 to book you for 2013

thanks again it was a perfect evening, sorry i didnt see you before you left, with a few drinks inside me i tend to lose track of the evening once the dancing has started

fond regards

lesley" June 2011

ps could listen to your voice for hours, only wish i had known about it as i would have called rather than emailed!!!


"Hi Paul

Just wanted to email to thank every member of Sugar Shack that played at our wedding on Saturday
The band were amazing, from the moment they started the dance floor was full with every guest dancing my only concern was that my dance floor was not big enough for all my guests to bust their moves on!

Both singers were brilliant and the female singers version of lady ga-ga's poker face was amazing!

Most of the guests commented on how great the band was and they certainly completed what was the best day ever for me and my husband. Being a big music fan myself I spent a long time choosing my wedding band but I have to say I made the best choice I could not recommend Sugar Shack enough!

Thanks again
