The Rockets were awesome, they were exactly what we had hoped they would be and more.

The band are amazing. Really friendly and amenable. They set up and cleared away without any fuss. We had agreed one start time, but owing to guests arriving late, we asked if we could start later and they agreed instantly telling us it was no problem, and it genuinely felt like it wasn't!! All in all, we and the guests had a great time. I have had so many texts this morning saying how amazing the band were. Thank you for helping to make our party a success!!

The Rockets are an excellent band and made my friend's party the perfect night.

We have just got back from honeymoon (and back to reality!!) and could not leave it any longer without saying a massive massive thank you to you and the rest of the Rockets. We felt so bad as we didn't even see you go on the big day, but I am sure that you could tell that everyone thought you were fantastic. There were people up dancing that I have never even seen dance before in my whole life! You really were amazing and made our night so thank you lots. You also made a lot of the girls happy as I heard several times how pleased they were to have such great eye candy as well as great music!!
