Reviews of to the max

K

Kevin Pickett General Manager at Bishopswood Golf Course

We held our Summer ball at Bishopswood Golf Course Saturday 8th June and booked To The Max for our entertainment. I would like to say what a tremendous group they were, very professional, great harmonies and very well received by an audience that never vacated the dance floor. We utilise yourselves for the majority of our acts, and I have to say we have seldom had anyone better.

D

Donah Dewar Hired To The Max for a Birthday Party at Woodbury Manor

Hi all at Garston, Just to let you know that the group were really amazing, really want to book them again !! Regards Donah Dewar

P

Paul & Tracy booked To The Max for 50th Birthday Party at The Watersedge.

Hi Darren, hope you had a safe journey home, a huge thank you to you & the rest of the band for making our evening very special, we loved the songs, the music & thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Thank you Paul & Tracy.

B

Becky Eveson Hired To The Max for Birthday Party at The Londesborough Hotel.

I just wanted to say what a fantastic band To The Max are. They performed at my 50th birthday party last night and were amazing. The lads were professional,helpful and obliging- even when we told them Nellie the Elephant (toy dolls) was a must for the disco! The band themselves were very accomplished and sounded great, they kept the dance floor busy all night and we've had so many compliments from our guests. From my first phone enquiry I have had first class service from you and I would not hesitate to use you again or recommend you. All in all great service and a top quality act at a reasonable price. Thank you so much. Becky Eveson

Melanie, Mother of the Bride, Wedding, 21st June 2014, Hampshire

A big thank you for providing the music for my daughter's Wedding Day at the Tithe Barn on Saturday 21st June. The Band was great as usual. It was unfortunate that it was a little warm inside so many people stayed outside. Their loss! Those of us that danced the night away had a fun time.

Ellena and Garry Llewellyn booked To The Max for their wedding.

Just wanted to drop you a line to say how great To the Max were at our wedding. They played a fantastic set and played a good range of music to suit young and old. The dance floor was full all evening - it was only a shame that the evening had to end! We have had loads of our guests ask where we found them and have not hesitated to recommend both the band and Garston Entertaiments. Thankyou again, To the Max, for making the evening such a success. Regards, Ellena and Garry Llewellyn

Helen Woodcock booked To The Max for her wedding at Doncaster Racecourse

Hi Nicola, I hope you are well. I just wanted to email and thank you for all your help over the past month or so in the run up to my wedding at Doncaster Racecourse . To The Max were marvellous, and are a great party band. Everyone commented on how good their mix of music was and also the DJ-in they did for us. Darren and the lads were very helpful and obliging. They played almost all of my selection list, time allowing, and created a really good party atmosphere. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed the evening and To The Max definitely added to that. My guests are still talking about them now! Thanks again Nicola, and I hope this testimonial will help secure the lads some more business! I hope our paths cross again in the future. Cheers Helen

They also played backing for my daughter despite no practice and this worked really well. I would definitely book them again. It was a very special occasion and they helped to make it so. Please pass on my appreciation. Many thanks. Jane
