    "We wanted to email to say thank you the excellent acoustic and live evening set for our wedding day. We thought you were great, and have also had many people say how good they thought you were. Thank you for listening to what we asked for and performing the ceremony and reception music. The father/daughter dance went down a treat, so again, thanks for keeping that on the down low. We were very keen to have live music that met our tastes, acted as good background music and got the dance floor going in the evening - you well and truly succeeded in those hopes, so thanks again!"
    Sara & Dan - Wedding - Cumbria
    "Please pass on a massive thanks from us to the band who were awesome. We had an amazing time, and they were a big part of that."
    Rich & Mel - Anniversary Party - London
    "Can you please pass on a massive thank you to the Kickstarts! They were AMAZING at our wedding!!!"
    Rachael - Wedding - Derbyshire
    "The band bought a fantastic energy to the evening and made sure the dance floor was full all night long. The variety of music was fantastic and the music flowed throughout with hardly any stops. They were professional and fun having a laugh and a joke with us as well as sounding amazing. They were very approachable and the conversation before the wedding showed that nothing was too much trouble and they took all of our thoughts and ideas into consideration. They stayed after their two sets to DJ until the end with their own playlist that ticked all our boxes. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a fun, toe tapping evening with a great bunch of guys who can also throw some shapes on the dancefloor. Amazing evening made all the better with the Kickstarts."
    Matthew - Wedding - Buckinghamshire
    "From our first meeting with the band, we knew we had made the right choice! The first dance was perfect. The first set was incredible, and the second set was out of this world! All the wedding guests were dancing for the whole thing and it was perfect! The music in between the two sets was equally incredible :) Thank you so much Kickstarts!!!"
    Karim - Wedding - Cheshire

    "The Kickstarts were brilliant from start to finish. An extremely talented, professional and friendly bunch, they seemed to enjoy themselves almost as much as we enjoyed it! Everyone at our wedding commented on how fantastic the band were and the dancefloor was packed. We loved that they joined in with some of the dancing too! We would highly recommend The Kickstarts to anyone who wants a fantastically fun, brilliant band who know how to party. Thanks!"
    Jo & Luke - Wedding - West Yorkshire

To any future brides & grooms out there looking for a fantastic band - you can't go wrong with The Kickstarts, very professional, very talented, and generally all-round nice blokes :) Thanks again!"
    Clare - Wedding - Cheshire
    "The Kickstarts were absolutely brilliant!! Right from the start - booking was easy and requests were accommodated, even a last minute first dance song change. The dance floor was packed all night - even guests who wouldn't have normally danced, were up for a boogie! My bridesmaid said to me: "I want to take a break - but every song is SO good!" The Kickstarts gave us exactly what we wanted - a night to remember, for us and for all of our guests! I only wish we were planning another event, as we would book them again in a heartbeat! Thanks so much guys!! Fantastic!!"
    Chloe & Wayne - Wedding - Lancashire
    "I wanted to say thanks to you and the rest of the band for the great evening you gave us on Saturday night. Not only was the music and playlist fantastic, I also though you handled yourselves really well, judging the audience well, accommodating our requests and just generally being great to have around on the night, which makes a hosts evening much easier I can assure you. Everybody has commented on how great you all were. Thanks very much and I wish you all the best for the future. (PS. sure we will be using you again in the future, so remember me when you are famous!)"
    Robin - Party - Cheshire
