Alice Chan, Wedding, Bishops Stortford
Dear Charlotte, Thanks for your e-mail. I’m happy to say that I was very pleased both with the agency’s service and the acts that you provided. You were very prompt in replying to my e-mails both with queries and sorting out the paperwork. With regards to the acts, Steve Hearn was excellent, producing amusing caricatures very quickly and mingling easily (and outrageously flirting!) with our guests. Haynes Jazz were absolutely brilliant and really made our evening, we were so pleased we booked them. My husband had been a little worried that a jazz band might have limited appeal for some of our guests but they had an excellent repertoire and played lively upbeat songs which really got everyone dancing. We were very impressed with the band and Guy in particular and would definitely book them again. Hope this helps!
