A Few Testimonials:

1) "...Thanks for playing at our wedding reception. I know we thoroughly enjoyed the evening and have received lots of comments from friends and family who thought you were great."

2) "...The music was just what we wanted, and it clearly went down a storm with the guests - we had an excellent night."

3) "...Guys, Thanks for playing our wedding in Bournemouth. It was an amazing set. Everyone has said how good you were and it really made the wedding. It was brilliant. Thanks again!"

4) "...Everyone loved it. The choice of music and dances seemed to be pitched perfectly for the audience and your caller did a superb job."

5) "...Just a quick note to thank you and the rest of the band again for such a fantastic night last Saturday. I'm sure I left you in no doubt how impressed I was anyway, but I wanted to let you know that I've had non-stop calls and emails from our guests saying how brilliant they all thought you were."

6) "...Thank you so much for performing at my 40th. As I selected the group from the Internet lottery without ever seeing them play, I did run the risk of The Muppet Show band turning up, or worse…
a no show. Credit must go to your customer testimonials for my choice and like all the others I am so pleased that I chose The Cracklin’ Griffins. Communications were fluid and organisation was commonsensical; set-up was well orchestrated and the performance was fantastic, with a well segued set, easing guests onto the dance floor. When everyone I have spoken with since the party mentions how great the band was, it confirms that it wasn’t just my 'three sheets to the wind’ disposition that made the night so enjoyable. Thanks again."
