WHAT CLIENTS SAY
CHRIS + MOLLY
“Amazing wedding band. Mo and team were professional and incredible performers, read the room perfectly and played to the crowd. The booking process was easy and we did not need to worry about anything on the day. 11/10 would highly recommend.”
(Wedding at High Country Queenstown)
ANNIE + ADAM
“You guys were amazing!! Without much direction you were able to read the crowd and created such a fun vibe. We loved how you just didn’t come in straight away playing the loud bangers but more so warmed everyone up and created a great atmosphere. We also loved that you were able to accommodate for the younger ones and the oldies. Everyone commented how talented you guys were. Thanks for contributing to the best night of our lives and memories we’ll treasure forever”
