Katie Thornicroft, Wedding Event, Cheshire
Hi Jennie, We had such an amazing day at our wedding and I would happily provide some feedback. All the queries and questions I had prior to the day were answered in a timely manner and the booking process was a simple procedure. On the night The Love Rats put on a brilliant performance, everyone thoroughly enjoyed the music and they got the dance floor swinging. I had a number of comments from guests at the wedding on how good the band were and where we got them from. They were part of the evening which I could not fault at all. Fantastic performance, brilliant singer and the band were outstanding.
Will Taylor, Wedding, Preston
Hi Matt, the band were amazing, got people up and dancing quite early on and were generally fantastic. I've had many enquiries about where they came from and for your details. Do they have a CD out? Cheers.

Hi Tracey, The Love Rats were excellent, very easy to work with and we enjoyed their music. They were exactly what I was looking for and played the music I liked. I would recommend your company to anyone and would like to thank you for helping ensure we had a fantastic party!!
