"Our wedding was extremely spectacular and unforgettable thanks to the Lisbon Swing Band! We knew that having a live band would bring an extra layer of charm to our special day from the time we started planning it. The decision to hire the Lisbon Swing Band proved to be a wise one. Their communication was excellent from the start. They were really open to our suggestions, song requests, and tastes. However, as our wedding day approached, we felt compelled to fully embrace the essence of the occasion and allow the band's creativity to shine. So we gave them the authority to curate the musical journey for our guests. And what a brilliant decision it was! Their punctuality and professionalism were outstanding. We were entirely at rest on the wedding day, knowing that the band had everything under control. They blended in perfectly, adding to the ambience and creating an enchanting backdrop for our party. We chose the duet, and it was a musical marriage made in heaven. The singer has a wonderful voice. Their performance was stunning, especially when combined with the guitar player's mesmerising solos. The chemistry between them was evident, and it resonated with everyone in the room. We observed everyone enjoying themselves by tapping their feet and swaying to the rhythm as the music poured through the air. Finally, allowing the Lisbon Swing Band to take the reins and create their music resulted in an evening that exceeded our expectations. Every note the band played reflected their enthusiasm and attention to their trade. Our guests were completely captivated, and the band's performance garnered numerous accolades. Friends and family members couldn't get enough of the singer's enticing vocals and the guitarist's deft solos. To summarise, the Lisbon Swing Band made an outstanding addition to our wedding. They brought their distinct talents, expertise, and artistic flair to our big day, creating an event that we and our guests will remember for the rest of our lives. We are incredibly grateful for their exceptional performance and would wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone seeking a band that can effortlessly elevate the ambience of their event!"

"The Lisbon Swing Band were absolutely fantastic at our wedding in June. They created the perfect atmosphere of chilled fun while our guests were arriving at the reception. They were wonderful to deal with and had so many song choices! They also learnt a special song for us which they played when we came in! I couldn’t recommend them enough - definitely book them for your event!"

"We just wanted to send across a huge thank you for the wonderful ambience you created at our wedding! Everyone absolutely loved you and the music, it was such a beautiful, seamless transition from the ceremony to the cocktails. Thank you for being part of creating the most magical day of our lives. We hope you enjoyed the day too, and that you were well taken care of! Let us know wherever we can leave you guys reviews - and we’ll try to collate some photos/videos (in case you want for PR material) that we can send across in case they are of help :) Thank you so so so much once again for being part of creating the best day of our lives. On behalf of all our wedding guests, sending you a huge thank you and our best wishes for all your future gigs! We hope to see you all again soon (let us know if you’re coming over to play in London - we’ll be there!) Best wishes, Alex & Winnie."

"The band were fantastic! Our guests gave great feedback and when we returned to the cocktail hour having taken some photos, the band who were about to take a break came back on to play some songs for us. Our only regret was not being able to enjoy their music for longer. Please pass on our thanks and appreciation to the band!"
