The event was a huge success for us and proved to be an amazing opportunity for us to meet so many new people – we are in a very happy place today. You were so brilliant, and we had such lovely feedback from everyone about the music – we will definitely keep you in mind for any future events that we have.”

“Rob and I just wanted to say a massive thank you to you and the band for the music at our wedding! They were phenomenal and super talented, and everyone loved them. It was amazing to see everyone on the dance floor at the end of the night! We also loved the vintage covers… thank you so much!”
– Chloe, Wedding reception

“Just wanted to say a huge, huge thank you to you and your incredible band that made our day come to life. We loved all the music – as you know, it was some guests’ favourite part of the wedding!! I say – fair enough! Down for the Count were definitely a highlight for us as well and the sounds of the string quartet playing the first strains of the Beatitudes and that epic finale and encore from the full band will stay with me forever.
– Alex, Wedding reception

“Thank you so much for your amazing music and energy when you performed at our wedding in Norfolk in December. We loved the music, and everyone commented on how great you all were. As you could probably tell, our friends and family love a good party and we loved that the dance floor was packed all night long!
All our love”
– Jen and Ali, Wedding reception

“The band were such a great fit for our evening! There was never an empty dance floor as they played jazzy takes on popular classics– so it suited everyone! We were all really chuffed with their performance and we would 100% use them again. Thanks!”
– Lauren Wheler, Corporate event

“I just wanted to drop you an email to say a HUGE thank you for your incredible support this weekend with the Rockinghorse Ball. If a full dancefloor is the sign of a good band then you are right up there!! We have received SO many positive comments on you guys from our guests and I wanted to personally thank you for your incredible performance… You should all be proud of yourselves too as you have helped to make this event a reality!”
– Stella Buckingham, Charity ball

“The band were great at our wedding – very talented musicians, fun outfits and know how to get the party going. Not only is the music wonderful but the customer service was the best of any of our wedding suppliers… All round top marks from us.”
– Vanessa and Joe, Wedding reception

“Live music was hugely important to us when planning our wedding. As soon as we found Down for the Count, we knew we’d struck gold… The band made our day so special and we couldn’t recommend them highly enough. Just like our first dance, Down for the Count created “Something Beautiful” for our wedding!”
– Ailsa Kearns, Wedding reception
