The Martinis

The Martinis were great and Irving was helpful with planning. The feel that we were going for was traditional with a modern twist and so the band fitted brilliantly with this. The Jewish music was just enough to lift the atmosphere and the rest of the music was chosen to perfection. We believe that everyone really enjoyed it.

The Martinis

Steve, just wanted to say, you were all magnificent at my wedding. We could not have been happier with the performance. I just wish I could have spent more time in the main rooms, as kept getting dragged away, but even when I wasn't there I heard you belt our some great tunes. Everybody was complimentary. Please pass on my heart felt thanks to Mim and the rest of the guys. Hope to see you again at some point.

The Martinis

Really really pleased with the band, great feedback from all who heard them perform. I was really looking forward to seeing them and could not have been happier. Great group, and some fantastic song choices

The Martinis

Night was a roaring success, dance floor was full all night, just wish they could have played longer.

The Martinis

The Martini's were brilliant! Everyone has commented on how excellent the band were this year! The music was excellent and the whole band team were a pleasure to work with. I would hire them again, without looking around for any other band. They were brilliant! :-)

The Martinis

We've had lots of guests saying how good the band were. Really professional

The Martinis

Steven with a V!I write to you from back home in the states with jet lag from hell yet great appreciation and admiration for yourself and the members of The Martinis.

The Martinis

Wow! What a bloody fantastic night. I just wanted to say a huge personal ?thankyou? from Dean & myself. Mim, wow! What a voice. Everyone commented on how great the band was and our ?first dance? was perfect. Having you guys made the night without a doubt so ?thankyou? once again for making our reception party such a success. People were shouting for more when you had finished which says it all.

The Martinis

The Martinis were absolutely fantastic ? thank you!!

The Martinis

Thank you so, so much for the best night ever. You were amazing! Everyone kept asking how we managed to find you guys. The music absolutely made our wedding.

The Martinis

Thank you for playing such an amazing set at our wedding at Stoke Place this August. Everyone said what a fantastic band you are and the dancefloor was packed right until the end of the night, with guests who had never previously spoken before dancing together because the music and the atmosphere was so good!

The Martinis

Great service, great band, they made our wedding. Everyone said how great they were and had a lot of fun dancing the night away x

The Martinis

The band were fantastic! We were a little apprehensive having not seen them play live before, but we took a chance based on reviews and their online videos; we were absolutely delighted with the talent and energy they brought to our wedding and can definitely recommend The Martinis!
