Barry Hadfield, Wedding Event, Dumfries and Galloway
The Swing Kings were fantastic at our wedding in Scotland. Perfectly in tune with the tone of the reception, and had (almost) everyone dancing. A huge hit with us and our guests - started the evening off perfectly.

Matthew Turner, Charity Event, London
I could not be more impressed by the service that Warble Entertainment have provided. Due to a pull out on my side I only left 3 days in which to find a band and they presented an array of different options. We finally went with The Swing Kings who were absolutely fanastic. Gary and his group really made the evening and I had some amazing comments from the audience on the night. Will definitely come back for my next event. Matt

Linda Newey, Wedding Event, Warwickshire
Dear Jennie, The wedding was marvellous and The Swing Kings were excellent. Everyone enjoyed the performance. The booking process was facilitated very easily and yes the artistes lived up to our expectations. We always felt confident throughout the arrangements that there would be no problems, ie that the band would turn up on time (or turn up at all as I have heard of the bands not turning up on the night) and that the level of performance would be good. Gary had kept in touch with us over the months and provided us with e-mails of his performances etc, so yes we were very successful and would highly commend the swing band for future occasions.Many thanks.

Stephen Carter, Charity Event, Avon
A very big big thank you to Gary and the Swing Kings for providing such an excellent evening of entertainment on many fronts. Within minutes of the first song the dance floor filled and remained that way for the entire evening. Many of the guests enjoyed the whole occasion that much that they have already book him for there own functions later in the year. I can not thank Gary and his band enough for such a wonderful evening of entertainment.

Stephen Carter, Charity Event, Gloucestershire
Gary, Thank you for a wonderful evening of entertainment. May I say what a wonderful voice and backing band you have to compliment you. I have received overwhelming comments from my personal guests and members regarding the singing as well as a diverse range of music to get all ages up and onto the dance floor. Thank you also for staying on during your break to help entertain the guests with the raffle. I would highly recommend you and your band for any ocassion.

Mr and Mrs Adlem, Wedding Event, Cheshire
Dear Gary (and the Swing Kings), Blake and I just wanted to thank you for the fantastic performance at our wedding on Saturday. We both enjoyed it immensly and so many of our guests have commented on how wonderful they thought you all were. You really made the night that extra bit special for us and the first dance song seemed to go down well too! Thank you so much once again!

Nick and Charlotte Dukic, Wedding Event, Surrey
Hi Tracey, this message is a big thank you for providing our wedding evening entertainment at Great Fosters, Egham, Surrey on Saturday 26th February 2011. The Swing Kings were fantastic. We won't hesitate to recommend Warble Entertainment or the band in the future.

Justina, Amer Sports, Corporate Christmas Party, Camberley, Surrey
Hi Matt, Thank you, the booking process was very easy, you were great to deal with and Gary and the band were absolutely fantastic! Everyone commented on how much they had enjoyed the music and the fact that we had a band rather than a disco. Even with the bad weather the band all turned up and Gary had an epic journey but was professional to the end. Thank you so much for all of your help in making our Christmas party something unforgettable! Thanks.

Linda Kidd, 60th Wedding Anniversary, Mitchum, Surrey
Hello Matt, Thank you for e-mailing. The party was a big success and that is also due to the superb band 'Gary and the Swing Kings'. They were excellent, they were extremely professional, polite and couldn't do enough for use to ensure the party went with a 'swing'. After booking the band through your agency, I did write back and say how please and happy I was with your agency. Again you made the process very easy and stress free, it was a pleasure to deal with such a professional and well organised company. The advice I received about the best bands to choose from was spot on and the result speaks for itself. I would certain recommend Warble Entertainment to others. The whole process went very smoothly, after sending the booking forms back to you, Gary made contact via e-mail so we were able to exchange information and plan the evening, even down to picking some favourite songs for Gary to play during the evening - he was very happy to include them in his running order. A week or so before the party he made contact again, finalising details, exchanging phone numbers and confirming times and directions to the venue. Again extremely well organised. Gary and the band were very friendly, looked and sound great, what more could I have asked for! I hope I have a reason to use your company again in the future.

Katie & Mike Wilson, Wedding, Hull
Hi Charlotte, Gary was fantastic - he was just perfect for our wedding! He started off his first set singing as background music whilst people were eating. However, as our guests started joining in and singing and even some dancing (during the day!) Gary stepped things up a bit and engaged in some audience participation! Everyone commented on how great he was and we are so pleased that we chose to have Gary there - he made our wedding meal very special and more importantly - fun! Thanks to Gary and to Warble Entertainment for your professionalism - everything went without a hitch!

Freda Pugh, Golden Wedding Anniversary, Ellesmere Port
Dear Tracey, I am delighted to report that the guests ALL said they were thrilled with the music. So few had been entertained by real live artists and would not forget the wonder of the chosen songs and the singer. Even the 30/55 age group were very impressed. I cannot thank Gary enough for taking control because I was not up to the mark. True profesionalism shone through. I would be happy to reccomend your company to anyone anytime.

Andrew Mahon, Christening, Wirral
Hi Tracey, Gary and his band were excellent. Our guests loved their performance, and were very complimentary towards the music played. We couldn't have wished for better!

Claire Richards, BBC 3's 'Don't Tell The Bride', Renegade Productions, Bristol
Hi Tracey, I hope you are well. Thank you very much for your email, I went away after the wedding so I apologise for the lateness in my response. I really appreciate all the help Gary and yourself gave and know that Leanne and Wayne fully enjoyed their big day. All the best.

Mrs Edwards, 65th Birthday Party, Hertfordshire
Dear Tracey, We were very pleased with your service and also very pleased with Gary he went down very well and we all had a fantastic party.

Joanna Williams, 80th Birthday Party
Tracey, Gary performed at our event, yesterday 31st August, booked through yourselves. What a fantastic guy. He totally made our party as special as it was. (Including his backing musicians). The event was for my father's 80th birthday, and it was a true experience for him. We didn't want the music to end. Guests said he was the best they'd ever heard. An unbelievable day with a true professional running it. We couldn't thank Gary enough for making our day so magical.

Tracey Jones, Swan Hotel, Grasmere, Cumbria - New Year's Eve
All our guests really enjoyed the evening and I'm hoping to have Gary back for next year. He really knew how to get the crowd going and helped everyone to be part of the fun.

Amanda East, Tehidy Park Golf Club, Cornwall
THEY LOVED YOU!!!!!! I have had nothing but praise. Loads of people have said it's been the best Xmas dinner dance that they have ever been to so thank you, thank you, thank you for making the evening such a success.

Jane Malyon, Plegdon Barn, Essex
Gary's music set the mood perfectly for our party and our guests were up and dancing before they had even sat down for the meal! Everyone mentioned how much they enjoyed the music. It was just the elegant, swellegant party we'd hoped for!

Bridget Hyde-Parker, Smeethams Hall Barn, Suffolk
Gary made our party! He was quite superb and created just the atmosphere that we had wanted. We would highly recommend him.

Deborah Styburski, Berkeley Hotel, Knightsbrigde, London

It was a pleasure to deal with you. Everyone remarked on how good you were and we would be keen to use you again in the future.

The whole day was a great success and a number of people have commented to me about how much they enjoyed your performance.

Thanks Gary. You and your band were brilliant and you helped make a great day even greater. I have had so many good comments about your performance. You will be top of our lists for future events.
