"Aptitude were absolutely fantastic — everything we’d hoped for and more. The dance floor was packed all night, and they played such great tunes. Couldn’t recommend them more highly!"
"Aptitude were brilliant! Although the majority of our guests weren't Jewish, the ruach for the Jewish setlist was amazing - got everyone on the dance floor. The rest of their set kept the spirit and the dancing going. So many guests said how much they enjoyed it and mentioned the band specifically."
"Aptitude were the perfect band for our wedding. They were so full of energy, accommodating regarding our timings on the day, learnt an amazing new song for us, and generally provided such an amazing vibe for the big day. We’re so happy we chose them and couldn’t fault them at all."
"Both Alexis and I would like to say a huge thank you for the superb job you did at our wedding. You were a pleasure to work with before the event and your performance on the night was absolutely brilliant! Thank you so much for taking the time to learn the words for the Israeli dancing for us also...we really appreciated that! Your ability to read the crowd was great, you got everybody singing and the wide range of music you play meant there was something for everyone. My particular favourite was the unbelievable Billie Jean/Smells Like Teen Spirit combo you played towards the end! Overall we had an amazing time and our wedding would not have been the same without the band. Thank you so much!"
