Just wanted to drop you a quick note to say thank you for playing at our wedding on the 10th. I thought you were all fantastic and everyone commented on how great you were.

The band really added to our lovely memories of the day.

Thanks again

I just wanted to say a very very big thank you for all your work and effort in the lead up to and during the event. It was my 11th one of these and it seems to be getting harder and harder to wow the audience and improve on previous years but I think we managed it.

Take care and thank you so so much,

Many, many thanks for everything you did to help make Stess' party on Friday night such a great evening.

The band were fantastic, you were all fantastic! And Jo had a beautifully strong voice which really carried over both marquees.

I'm afraid I don't know everyone else's name, and I was so manic running around looking after the photographer/caterers etc as well that I never got to properly thank you on the night, but every one of you was brilliant.

I'm sure you all know when the audience have enjoyed the music, but getting 21 year olds to dance almost consistently is, I think, quite an achievement!

Thank you, to all of you, for putting up with my requests for Disney music - it made such a good impact on the night, and I really appreciate your time to have put the set together.

I will most definitely keep hold of your number and email, and fingers crossed there will be many more parties/weddings to come. I had a few enquiries on the night; and I will always recommend you guys.

Best wishes and huge thanks,
Alice

Dear Niall,
I can't remember if we have thanked you already or not! But just to be sure a huge thank you from all our family. We loved your music and as the thank you letters flood in it seems so did our guests! We will be highly recommending you to others.

Yours

Hi Niall

Thank you so much

We cannot thank you enough for the performance you did at our wedding. Everyone loved you guys and have been saying that you are the best band they have ever heard at a wedding.

You made our evening truly magical and one we will never forget.  One word, 'fantastic'.

Thanks again,

Claire and I would just like to say a big thank you for what a fantastic job you did at our wedding.

I knew you guys would be good, but we never quite expected it to be as fantastic as it was. The first dance was just perfect and looks great on the video!
You were all so friendly and approachable – the music you chose was perfect and ensured the dance floor was full almost all of the time.

I have never had so many people comment solely on the band – the location was fantastic, but you guys really made it and I have lots of requests for your website!

As you were probably aware, we had a wedding video on the day and you guys all play a starring role in it – from the first dance through to the end of the evening.

Thanks again for doing such a great job and making our wedding day so perfect. If you ever need someone for potential clients to talk to, feel free to drop me a line and I’ll be happy to tell anyone how good you are.

Thank you and Liberations so much for playing at our wedding. I can’t tell you how many people kept coming up to me saying how brilliant the band were and “…where did we find them?”!! You absolutely made our wedding evening and the amount of people on the dance floor at any one time totally proved that. ‘Chasing Cars’ for our first dance was first class. ‘Sex on Fire’ was the perfect ending as well.

I don’t doubt you will have had a real mission to get back from Dubai and then get all your kit down to the barn but if there were any complications or dramas, you certainly didn’t let any of it show and your professionalism was second to none.

I will not hesitate to pass your details on to friends / family in need of a band as I know for a fact they will ask.

I hope you and your family had a fantastic Christmas and that you are busy over 2011.

Warmest regards
Helen & Dominic

Dear Niall,
I just wanted to thank you and the band for such a brilliant night's entertainment. With weather like that I think it would have been a disaster if we had had a run-of-the-mill 'wedding' band. We all loved it though, thanks to you. In fact, so many people have commented on how great you were.

So please pass on my thanks to the rest of the crew and hope to see you again.

With best wishes,
Victoria

Wow, Niall, that was really, really great. There was a queue of people at the end who stopped to say how much they had really enjoyed the night and it was your energy and professionalism that really made it a night to remember. I just wanted to say how well we thought it all went and how much we wished more people had been there to witness it. They really don’t know what they’re missing.

Much love

Dear Niall,

Thank you SO very much for performing at our wedding! We had such a wonderful time and we thought the music was absolutely fantastic!!! It was perfect! Right from the start it set the mood for our wedding! So many people commented on how great you were and several asked for your name so maybe you will have some more bookings! I think the proof was on was the dance floor- It was packed all night!!

Please pass on our thanks to the rest of the band too.

Best wishes,
Katherine.

Dear Niall (and the band)

I cannot adequately put into words how FANTASTIC  we think you all were on our wedding day. And we're not alone, of the hundreds of thank you letters we received, almost every single one mentions the utter brilliance not only of your music and style, but of the way you coped when the generator blew.

Actually, it was one of the best bits of the entire wedding because you carried on bravely and brilliantly and not only saved the day but made everyone rush onto the dance floor and get all tribal! It was incredible. Thank you so so so much and for the extension leads and restoring power, you're complete heroes, you made the party what it was,

Love from Lucy and Will

Just wanted to send a quick email to say a MASSIVE thankyou for such a great night of music and dancing on Saturday- you guys were absolutely fantastic and we couldn't have hoped for a better band - people are still talking about/asking after you! You are definitley the best live band either of us have ever heard so to have that quality at our wedding was just fantastic - we felt very lucky :)

Sorry we were running so late on the night and thanks for being so relaxed and understanding about it on the night, it really put us at ease.

Please pass on our thanks to your fellow band members, we won't hesitate to recommend you to others (I already had a couple of prospective brides asking after you on the night!) and we'll be looking out for your gigs in London!

Best wishes and thanks again for making our reception exactly what we wanted: everyone on the dance floor boogying all night long!
