"We had such a great time with you guys ending the night perfectly. Thank you so much for all the effort you put in. We were so pleased to hear your version of Happy for our first dance, it was perfect!"
"I just wanted to drop you guys a line to say thank you for what was an epic night at the Gloucester Old Spot! Everyone has commented on how good you were - the set was perfect and you absolutely got the dance floor rocking. The acoustic set was excellent in the afternoon and really added to the atmosphere on what was a perfect day. We'll always be grateful to you guys and will recommend you in the future! Who knows our paths may cross again. All the best, Paul."
"The Cardinals were fantastic at the wedding. They performed our first dance and were super adaptive to our timing (crucially they arrived on time!) They did sets according to what we wanted and was super passionate / dynamic, full of energy! (Lots of moves from Richard the lead singer which we really enjoyed!!) We would highly recommend you booking them for your wedding!"
"We were extremely pleased the band. They were absolutely amazing at getting the crowd involved, we even managed to get up and sing with the band! Everyone thought they were amazing! We loved them so much, we are wanting to organise an event just as an excuse to hear them play again!"
