What our clients say about us...
 

"Start The Party are the best act we’ve had for a while, very professional. Spoke to the audience all the way through and everyone really enjoyed the night. Good mix of songs, had the dancefloor full. Me and the wife chatted to them for a while beforehand and all really nice people. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them and have them back next year!"
Gavin Douglas, Members party night, Old Links Golf Club, Southport 10th February 2024

"Charlotte and her band of talented musicians were the highlight of our evening. It was great for us to see every one of all ages up and dancing to the songs that we had personally chosen from their extensive playlist.  It was a tremendous show. We would not hesitate to book them again.“

Debbie Hewitt MBE, 60th Birthday Party and 20th Wedding Anniversary, Rookery Hall, Cheshire 2nd September 2023

​

"Start The Party are fantastic. They had everyone dancing throughout the night. Charlotte and the team were absolutely fabulous playing all the songs we wanted and the vocals and music was so professional and note perfect. We will definitely be booking them again. I thought I would be dragging people on the dance floor. Oh no, Start The Party did that themselves with their brilliant singing and music. If you are looking for a band to get everyone dancing, to keep your party alive and to have all ages satisfied - look no further, book Start The Party, you will not be disappointed."

“Really lovely band - these guys played at my wedding which although was a long time coming, this band made every minute of it sensational! They learnt our first dance and it was such a lovely version of it! I’d love to hear them perform it again. Every one of our guests loved them and even the venue staff mentioned how great they were. The DJ set which came with the band ensured that everyone at the venue was dancing all night. I have since recommended the band to fellow friends and family planning a wedding. We loved every minute of our day and thank Start The Party for making it such a fantastic occasion!!”

"Hi all - Just to say a big thank you for playing at Jess and Tom’s wedding. You really got everyone up and dancing. After the last 16 months I think everyone was ready for a party!

Thank you for accommodating the first dance request allowing us to play Jess’s cousin’s cover version of their chosen song. It made it very special for them. It finished of a very memorable day for us all. Thanks again"

Start The Party bringing the new year in. Their set list was

perfect for getting everyone up on the dance floor, and

keeping them there. I have had countless comments

they want to book them for their own private events.

Once again many thanks for a really top performance."

"I hired Start the Party for my son’s 21st and husband’s surprise 50th, I have been to lots of events over the years weddings, birthdays, Christmas parties and have seen all types of bands but these guys are one of the best bands I have ever seen! I was a bit worried about the fact that there was a wide range of ages there from small children to great grandmas and wondered if they could realistically keep everyone entertained but I needn’t have worried - they performed some fantastic songs and covered all tastes and age ranges! The DJ set that they played in between sets was brilliant, they kept everyone on the dance floor all night! They did exactly what they say on the tin “START THE PARTY!!” Hire them now for your next event you won’t regret it!!"

We had a great night, every song they played kept the dance floor full and rocking right to the very end of the night."
