"Funky Fresh really were an amazing band! We asked for the saxophonist to play during the reception when were having champagne and canapés, and when we walked onto the balcony the whole band was playing!! They were amazing in the evening, the dance floor was FULL! The DJ went on until the early hours, played exactly what we asked for, and was more than happy to take requests! The DJ played so many bangers, every time I went to get a drink another banger came on! Thank you Funky Fresh!!"

"Funky Fresh were the perfect choice for our wedding. We struggled finding a band who would suit an international party but in France, but fell in love with Funky Fresh as soon as we saw their videos - we booked for a predominantly Irish and English wedding. They were professional, fun, and brought a lot of energy to the party! Our guests, of all ages, danced all night and we had lots of comments from them on how great the band were! We absolutely loved them and would highly recommend Funky Fresh!"
