Mark and Ella Brown, Wedding, Hampshire
Hi Nick, Just a quick note to say a big THANK YOU for the band on Saturday, they were fantastic and exceeded all expectations…. far better than clips on the website even!! Leanne's voice was phenominal and everyone commented on how amazing and tight the band were and made complete an amazing weekend for us. Hopefully you will get some work out of it as well as there were both people getting married in the future and people who have to organise gigs - wouldn't be surprised if you get a call from The Pyramids in Portsmouth!! If you ever gets public gigs please add to any mailing lists you may have… Thanks again.

Martyn & Lianna Leigh, Wedding, Hampshire
Can you pass on my thanks to the members of the band. They were fantastic at our wedding. I could not have been more pleased. It was a perfect day and they were brilliant entertainers, everyone had a wonderful time and we got allot of compliments from our guests. I would definitely recommend them.

Sara and Joey, Wedding, Hampshire
Just a little note to say a big thank you for such a great performance at our wedding reception! The band were fantastic and we were so pleased with how it all went. Several of our guests commented in how good the band were and I think a good indication is when the dance floor is always full. Thanks again for everything, it was perfect.

Tom Curling, Wedding, Dorset
Nick, just to say a massive thanks for putting on an outstanding show at our wedding, have never seen a dancefloor so packed and up for it! Absolutely brilliant. Cheers and let me know if ever you want me to give a recommendation, very happy to. Cheers.

Steve & Marcia Bartlett, Wedding, Dorset
Just a quick e-mail now we are back from honeymoon. Thank you, and please pass my thanks on to all you band members for the performance on Saturday. Everyone commented on how good the band were and obviously did not want them to stop! For myself and Marcia, the performance was an absolute blast and was the best we could have hoped for - the choice of vocals for the songs we had chosen, was brilliant and it was all over too quickly. It all went very smoothly for us and you were all a real pleasure to deal with. Thank you so much and I will be recommending you to anyone I know who wants a band. Best wishes for the future for you and all your musicians.

Tim Muncaster, Wedding, New Forest
Having played in bands myself at hundreds of Wedding Receptions, I wanted something a bit special for my daughter's big day. I found it in Poptones! These guys were a pleasure to deal with from start to finish. They set up discretely and, when the time came, launched into non-stop music that had the floor full all night. The sound and volume were perfect and the standard of musicianship excellent. What's more, they were great value for money! I would thoroughly recommend this band to anybody who wants a professional show for their special occasion.

Darren & Yanna Waters, Wedding, Hampshire
We just wanted to say a huge thank you for helping make our wedding day special. Everyone commented on how good you were. You played our first dance note perfect and from that moment everyone was up on the dance floor until you finished. The last 20 minutes of your set went down a storm as you built up to the finale. The day went so quick and there is a lot to take in but you guys stood out as an exceptional feature of an all round superb day. We hope to be able to use you again in the future and will certainly recommend you to anyone who did not go to the wedding.

Dr Stephanie Henson, Corporate Event, Southampton Guildhall, Hampshire
Thank you so much for providing fantastic music for our event last night at the Guildhall. Several people commented to me on how much they enjoyed the band and the music, and of course you got everyone dancing! Many thanks again.

Rich Burrough, Wedding, Hampshire
Poptones were brilliant at our wedding. They played an excellent show, are easy to work with, flexible and accommodating, and genuine people to deal with. I'd recommend them to anyone.

Philip Dennis, Wedding, Hampshire
Thanks to Liz and the guys in the band for their awesome performance last Saturday at the Royal Marines Museum. The dance floor was full throughout their three sets and they did not let up on the tempo for the entire evening. Please pass on my contact details to anyone who wants a reference. Many thanks again.

Aimee and Dave, Wedding, Hampshire
Thanks so much for making the night so fab. We had an awesome time! So many people commented on how brilliant you were and you really did make the night! So glad we booked the band, really worth the money.

Kate Silvers, Social Secretary, Netley Sailing Club, Hampshire
Poptones really made the evening come alive at the sailing club. They played during my 30th birthday and had a brilliant set that had everyone on their feet from word go with a range of music from classics to modern day. Would recommend them and will certainly be booking them for future functions again. A great night!

Alex and Kevin, Wedding, London
Just wanted to say a BIG THANK YOU! for providing us with great music. Everyone commented on how good you were!

Diane, Classic Sports Car Club, Annual Ball, Oxfordshire
I have never seen the dance floor so full from the first song until the very last. Fantastic performers and all the band was so helpful. Definately will be booking them again next year.

Dan and Helen, Wedding, Cardiff
Thanks for being so brilliant at our wedding! We loved every minute of it. You did a great job on the first dance! Everyone had such a good time, which I’m sure you could tell from the packed dance floor! The music you put on at the end was great...
