I'd of course give them 5/5. The Fat Cats played at our wedding on 30th November. They were fantastic from start to finish, all our guests thoroughly enjoyed both sets. The band were easy to communicate with from the start and played a great version of our first dance song. Thanks for everything!

Firstly we would like to say how very professional all aspects of the booking were, initially when looking for a band the process was made very stress free and replies were always prompt and informative. In terms of the fat cats themselves, the manager of the band got in touch before the wedding and answered all of our questions and really put us at ease. The performance was exceptional, worth every penny with guests ages 16 to 75 all loving every minute! The band were fantastic at getting people us on the dancefloor, were incredibly friendly and overall did a fantastic job - everything ran incredibly smoothly and for us they really made the evening reception. Cannot fault anything from the booking, the communication to the actual performance itself. 11/10 would highly recommend!!! Cannot thank you enough, Mr and Mrs Matthews

Just wanted to say how great the Fat Cats were. Throughout the party we had so many positive comments from our guests saying what a great voice the lead singer Chris had, how great they were and where did we find them from. Everyone said how amazing they were. I have to agree with them. They were a lovely bunch of guys and did an amazing job.

The whole process of dealing with Joe at Warble and nearer to the day the band was brilliant - an easy and professional service that took the time and stress out of finding a decent band for our wedding! On the day the band arrived and set up without fuss, and were friendly and polite as well. I loved that they learnt our first dance and played it so well, and they were really engaging with the crowd too. In terms of their performance they were absolute superstars - they didn't feel like a wedding band, they felt like a band we'd hired for our wedding, if that makes any sense at all! Brilliant musicians, had the crowd dancing all night - couldn't ask for more! Would like to get married all over again to have the chance to hear them play again J.

Rachel, they were incredible! They totally made our special day even more wonderful! The atmosphere they created by their incredible musicianship and relationship with our guests was nothing like we have ever experienced at a wedding before. ALL the guests remarked how excellent they were! They were professional throughout; great communication and very accommodating to our needs. The Fat Cats are absolutely not to be missed, worth every penny (plus more!) and had every single guest on their feet and shaking their ass to the most wonderful music! Thank you Fat Cats, can I book you for Christmas, New Year, Easter etc etc etc.....! Xx

What can we say about the band...well, to sum up in a word.....Perfect. From start to finish The Fat cats delivered a performance that will stay with us for the rest of our lives. Booking them was a doddle, having listened to them online and you were brilliant at staying in touch when we were figuring out the timings for the day, always accommodating our last minute changes with ease. They arrived in good time and looked the business to start their performance. We only wish we had more guests there for them to play to as they were absolutely amazing! Throughout the evening we had many guests come up to us and ask if the guys were family friends of ours because of the personal touches they were adding to the songs and the way they were interacting with the crowd! Without a doubt we'd recommend them to anyone looking for a quality wedding band. 5/5

We had a fantastic wedding and it was topped off by The Fat Cats. The guys were super friendly, changed their set timings to suit our evening and delivered a fantastic evening of entertainment. The lead singer was very professional, friendly and helpful. So many people commented on how good they were and we absolutely loved their set. They also did a brilliant job on our first dance. We would definitely book them again, 5 out of 5!

To say The Fat Cats bought the party would be an understatement. They arrived with no issues, were self reliant and were amazing quality. We were in a tent with a complex set up and they just got on with it. Our guests loved them! Amazing!!

The Fat Cats - 5/5! Firstly we would like to thank the team at Warble for their impeccable customer service! From the initial booking of the band right up until the day of the Wedding, the communication has been second to none and we felt so confident that we had made the right the decision to use Warble when booking a band for our big day. We could relax knowing that everything was sorted and we had nothing to worry about - Thank you so much! The band on the night were so professional, organised and just simply amazing! They played such a mixture of songs and there was something for every age - meaning the dance floor was packed the whole night - even the Bride (me) never stopped dancing! The communication with the band before the day was superb and they really listened to our needs and preferences for the night...If you are looking for a band to play at your wedding and have your guests dancing the night away - we would definitely recommend the Fat Cats!

They were absolutely brilliant and went down a storm with the guests. Don't think there was a single second that the dance floor wasn't heaving! Great contact from start to finish, which was good considering I found the whole process a bit nerve wracking having to go based on gut feeling from their video! Such lovely guys as well!

The band were absolutely brilliant! The communication with them was great, they were very quick to respond and I was grateful that they altered the timings of their sets for me quite last minute. The performance was great, so energetic, they had everybody up dancing which is what we were hoping for! The songs that they chose were real floor fillers and they were preformed so well.

We booked the band for our wedding - they were great and very willing to work with us to make sure the day was everything we wanted. The boys arrived in good time to set up and they were 4 lovely lads - really polite and professional. They did sound tests etc and then played two really good sets which got everyone on the dance floor. They were happy to take requests from the guests and really worked the crowd to get a good atmosphere. Their choice of music and sound quality were perfect and they played longer than we had expected. We would describe them as brilliant and talented musicians who really finished off our special day on a high note. Quite a few of the guests enquired about them for possible functions in the future. We would rate them 5 out of 5 and would not hesitate to use them again. Well done lads and thank you!

Please pass on my thanks to the band - they were fantastic and really made our night special! We are so pleased with their professionalism and skill, they really made it a night to remember and we loved the personal touches. I still have guests telling me how great they thought they were and of course I have passed on contact details if they would like to book them in the future. Awesome set - I struggled to get off the dancefloor!
