We weren’t able to thank them at the end of the evening so please pass on our comments.

Andy and Katie McDonald, Marsh Farm Hotel, Swindon
What a great act! Celebrity were fantastic and everyone loved them. I had spoken to Mathew prior to the night and he seemed very organized and enthusiastic. He was more than happy to plan his performances around what we wanted. From the moment the band started playing on the night I knew my guests were in for a treat. Not only were they obviously accomplished musicians but they threw their heart and soul into their performance. The passion and effort they put in had a real impact on my guests and everyone wanted to get on the dance floor and get involved. The vocalists had great personalities and got everyone involved with what was going on on the stage. I honestly couldn’t believe how good these guys were and how good they sounded. What a great bunch of talented people.

Debbie & Paul Binns, Hospitium, York
Thank you for providing such a fantastic band for our wedding.

Thanks you once again for your contribution to our very special and memorable day.

Hi Tracey, Back from honeymoon now. Celebrity were there ahead of time and got on with setting up without any effort required from us which was great as we were busy enjoying our big day. The musicality of the band is fantastic. They were all very friendly and Mat was very helpful in the run up to the big day. Overall, everyone loved the music and they got the party dancing! Thanks to them all for a stunning performance having travelled from up North down to sunny Somerset and back on the same day. Value for money - I'd say so!

The Celebrity Brass Section
The Celebrity brass section is comprised of tenor saxophone and trumpet. The superb musical arrangement’s really bring out the best in this incredibly tight section and adds another dimension to the sound of the band. Powerful playing with ripping solos are as standard.

PA Options
As standard Celebrity use top of the range audio equipment which is installed and operated on each engagement by their very own team. Because the band is fully engineered this ensures the perfect sound mix for each and every event. The standard 4K system is suitable to perform to a room of anything up to 400 guests. Larger systems are available on request to cater for any size of event. After gaining entry to the performance area, it takes a total of 90 minutes to be fully set and ready to perform. It is possible to down size the system to a vocal PA with independent backline amplification only. This is perfect for events that are being held in smaller rooms that would accommodate approximately 120 guests or less.

Lighting Options
As standard Celebrity use the Acme cabaret colour pro light system. This produces 4000 watts of stage lighting via 8 x 500 watt bulbs. The system allows a flood of light of numerous colours or can be programmed to move with the rhythm of the band. The equipment is very compact and so can be used in almost any space. For larger events, they can supply a popular range of intelligent and generic lighting from manufacturers such as Avolites, Martin Professional, Clay Paky, CCT, and Thomas and complementary special effects such as smoke and haze which can greatly improve the impact of the lighting. Set up time around 120 minutes.
