"We booked 23X for our marquee wedding reception and they were fantastic. They played three sets for us starting with our first dance and your normal wedding songs, then at our request went on to play more from their repertoire. We had so many guests comment on how brilliant they were and several people who never dance spent the whole evening on the dance floor! We used their own music whilst they weren't playing and everyone kept dancing. At all times 23X were professional, promt and ready to play at the time we had arranged, the sound quality was superb. Having seen them lots before we never had any doubts that they were our perfect wedding band and sure enough they made our reception one to remember. Many thanks 23X!!"

Maddy & Adam King
Wedding
"We booked 23X for our wedding at Blackthorpe Barns in Suffolk. As a family who enjoy live bands it was important to get the band right for our big day and 23X ticked all of the boxes! Everyone was on the dance floor dancing and singing along to the fantastic set list that the band put together for us. They also mixed the songs together that we wanted to be played between the sets, which kept everyone dancing and entertained throughout the night. They even learnt a new song at short notice for our first dance. We have been thoroughly impressed and have had many comments from our guests saying how great the band were, so thank you 23X for making our day!"

Mr & Mrs Green
Wedding
"A band was a must have for our wedding but choosing the right one seemed hard. When we were looking for one over a weekend we were recommended 23X three times! Leading up to the wedding a number of people had fabulous things to say about the band and we hadn't even heard them yet! On the night they blew us away and have been one of the main talking points from our day. It had always been a dream of mine to sing with a band and to link that in with our wedding day was just perfect. Thank you 23X - keep doing what you are doing!"
Lauren & David
Wedding
"So on Saturday night I arranged a party for my sister, I booked a band called 23X which is made up of three members there is guitar, vocals and drums. One word.... AMAZING! They were professional and a pleasure to have. I was concerned because we had a wide range of ages at the party, Greg advised they were able to learn any song to play on the night but their existing playlist was perfect, I didn't want to make any changes.. Even my granny was up on the dance floor!"
Melissa James

"Thank you so much for playing at our wedding, we had such a fantastic time and have never danced so much! You really kept the party going and everyone we have spoken to since has said how brilliant you were and how much fun they had. You really have a talent at reading the crowd and the songs you played were awesome - we never thought we would be having a crazy dance off on our wedding day! Thank you also for learning our first dance and playing it so beautifully, it gave us a wonderful memory to look back on (though I think Sweet Caroline may always stay with us too!) Highly recommended, we hope to see you play again soon! Thanks again."

"Hi Greg, Just a note to thank you and the rest of the band for a fantastic evening. The music was brilliant and the way you accomodated our guests requests made them happy and most appreciative. You managed to get the dance floor filled, even by some people who never normally dance. I noticed you played some 'slower' numbers which encouraged some of the older guests onto the floor. They really enoyed it."
"On a personal note, thanks for being punctual, thanks for seamlessly intergrating with the disco, thanks for responding to my emails quickly and positively. It all made the day go without a hitch. Wishing you much success and looking forward to seeing/booking you again. Best wishes."

When planning a wedding there's so much to think about and you made the musical part of it so easy - you were so accommodating and understanding. It was incredibly special that you learnt the song we chose for our first dance and performed it impeccably, it really was magical. We absolutley loved the music that you played and wouldn't change a thing. Our guests thought you were fantastic and it was great to see so many people on the dancefloor. You have helped to give us a day that we will never forget. We can't thank you enough for being part of our special day and we hope to be able to use you again in the future. Best wishes."

"Hi Greg and 23X, just a few words to say how much of a fantastic night we had largely due to the fantastic talents and professionalism of you three lads. As we are both dancers, choice of music had to be perfect and that's what we got. From tailoring the playlist and learning three new songs of our own choosing, everyone was on their feet all night - it was perfect! You guys totally exceeded our expectations and went above and beyond from our first email to your last song of the night, even helping the groom in his hour of need so he could suprise me with a song. We will be recommending you to all equally awesome people and are so happy we chose 23X to be a part of our day. Thank you again and again. Love the Tolleys."

"Will definitely book you guys again."
Charlie Spicer

"Greg and the rest of the band made our reception so much fun! They arrived discretely, before playing several sets which got everybody up and dancing. Jen (the bride) didn't sit down all night and they even let me sing (if you can call it that) Journey up on stage. Awesome! I would thoroughly recommend 23X for any party and many of the guests still comment about how great the band was at our wedding. Thanks again, you really made our night."
Chris & Jenny Barton

Nothing ever felt like too much trouble. Book them now!! You will not regret it, this band love what they do and this positivity becomes infectious.

From the moment we initially made enquires, Greg was very helpful and when I asked if the playlist could be amended slightly it was no hassle whatsoever. Good people to deal with and a great performance!"

The band were great on the night and all the guests loved them, I am pretty sure the dance floor was full the whole time they played. I had so many people ask me for their details afterwards because they were so impressed. I would highly recommend 23X and would happily book them again, in fact I am trying to think of an excuse for a party! Overall they made the evening so thanks guys."
Mr & Mrs Knight
Wedding
"We were really grateful for the way that the band worked around us from start to finish. We were offered a wide range of music but also helped where we lacked imagination. In the end Greg's suggested set-list ticked all of the boxes and went down a storm."
"The Band worked around our schedule and setup at a time which suited us perfectly. Having confidence in the band meant one less thing to worry about on our special day."
We are so glad we hired a quality band rather than settling for a disco - so many of our guests said how great they were!"
"When we got engaged we knew straight away that we wanted Greg and his band to play. We've known Greg for a very long time and we knew that he wouldn't let us down."
