After our wedding, so many of our guests commented how amazing Mashup Kings were! Stand by Me & Babylon were stand out songs that they performed that will stay with us and our guests for a very long time! Leading up to our wedding, Adam was excellent at communicating and he answered all my questions (believe me I had lots!). The set the band performed in the evening was incredible and again, guests commented how ‘cool’ they were and they made sure everyone was on the dancefloor all night long!
