Up The Ante were absolutely amazing! Honestly we knew they would be amazing from previous reviews and their videos but we didn’t expect them to be that good! They’re an unbelievably talented group and made the wedding so much fun. Their repertoire was amazing and catered for everyone which showed with the different sets of people on the dancefloor (including a 5 month old baby and a 92 year old grandmother!). We’ve had so many compliments about them on the day and since. I don’t think our wedding day would’ve been the same without them. James was also brilliant to deal with in the build up, answering all of our questions and generally just helping us to relax knowing we were in good hands. I could not recommend booking them for your own event enough. Thank you so much!
