"My partner and I searched long and hard for a suitable band to travel to France for our wedding in Morzine. We wanted a small band to keep costs down, but one that packed a punch, that played a wide variety of music and that got everyone on the dance floor. We certainly got that with The Tonics. They were nothing short of BRILLIANT! We requested a trio - the duo plus a cajon player (drummer). Everything from the communications pre the big day, to learning my aisle walk song, and the performances on the wedding day itself were perfect. Her voice was amazing and the musicians were extremely talented. Their sample videos don’t do them justice. We really appreciated their flexibility - they were able to perform a set for the ceremony, a chilled out daytime hour during the drinks reception and then a party set in the evening - they had all bases covered and meant we had fantastic music throughout. They were true professionals but also a lot of fun! All our guests raved about them. Book up now!"

"The Tonics played at our wedding near Montpellier, and they were amazing! All of our guests loved them and are still raving about them - as are we! Communication beforehand was really good and the playlist was brilliant - they also learnt our first dance song, which was so well done, so a huge thank you to Larissa and Barry for this, loved every minute. The Tonics are not only fantastic musicians but also great fun - thank you so much for being a part of our wedding!"

"The Tonics played at our wedding and they went down a storm! They played acoustically in the ceremony with a bespoke song and then in the evening with a variety of tunes which we were able to select. They are professional, very friendly, easy to communicate with and highly skilled musicians. We would highly recommend them to anyone! xxx"

"The Tonics were absolutely fantastic! I can’t recommend them highly enough! They were extremely good at communicating before the wedding and were very clear about the PA equipment that was needed. This was essential with the wedding being in Monaco. They are extremely talented musicians. They gauged the crowd perfectly and everyone loved them! Most importantly they made it an incredible party and had everyone dancing to well into the early hours! Thank you"

"The Tonics duo were amazing. I could not fault their passion on the stage, their performance standard and quality they were brilliant and OMG Larissa can sing she was exactly what we wanted, very impressive. They were extremely accommodating of our guests using the microphone for speeches and the kids absolutely loved them. At one point they had them all up stage singing and dancing. The song we picked for the first dance was executed flawlessly."

"Hope you got back to London ok after your long trip and that the gig in Paris went well. We just wanted to say again how much we loved having you perform at our wedding. We loved your music and also your enthusiasm and fun! Pass on our thanks to the guys. We will definitely be recommending you guys and I think the wedding planner was also really impressed so hopefully you get more business from her. All of our guests have been raving about you guys. Let me know where I can add a review if you need on Fix The Music. Also, I remember you taking some photos and video at the end of the night. If you have any good shots will you send them on. Thanks again so much for being such an important part of our memories of our perfect wedding day."

"They were brilliant! They were there in plenty of time to set up and sound check and everyone loved them. Larissa has a brilliant voice. We had an issue trying to get a Roadbuddy speaker to play with a video projector for first dance and one of the guys came and helped and sorted that out which was really good of them as that wasn't part of what they were doing. I'll definitely recommend them for 2020 weddings."

"The Tonics were such a great choice for our wedding reception. Larissa has an amazing voice and Barry is a really talented guitar player. The music they played was fun, cool, classy and with clever use of pedals, they were able to generate more of a 'band' sound from just two performers. They can play relaxed sets or up-beat party sets dependant on the mood you're going for and were friendly, professional and very easy to arrange things with. They also invited my 10yr old niece and her friend to come up and sing which made their evening and all our guests smile. We can't recommend them enough! 5 STARS."
