Amanda and I would like to pass on our deepest thanks to The New Offenders: Lynsey, Rick, Luke & Nick who played at our Wedding Reception, and to Sam at Warble for helping put everything together in the background. From the very start of our conversations with Sam, through the selection and booking process, Sam and the team at Warble made everything simple and easy and communicated well throughout. Luke from the band called us several times to discuss our song choices, particular favourites, what should be played between sets and what we would like for our first dance, even offering to learn the song specifically for us. He listened to us and made some excellent suggestions as to sets and timings. All in all we felt very assured that he understood our requirements and the music would rock and the party would flow on the night. On the day itself, all four band members where chatty, sociable, polite, and dressed smartly for our black tie wedding reception. From the conversations we had, and the way these guys all played together, it really showed how much they enjoy their music. We're pretty sure we couldn’t have found a better band for our wedding. We choose The New Offenders for a few reasons in addition to their locality to Essex, price and availability. A four piece band works so well with a good mix of vocalists, making for great variety in their sound and repertoire. There is a good selection of audio on their webpage, but very important to us was the video which enabled us to see their image and style. I'd really recommend keeping the webpage up to date with new sound clips and video as it was a big factor in our selection process. Their song list is also extremely wide ranging, which really helped mix it up in each of the Sets. We had a fantastic wedding at Prested Hall, Essex, and we received lots of comments and compliments about the New Offenders, from our guests and wedding staff. Thank you so much for making our special day all the more special.
