Here are a few of the lovely testimonials that we’ve received over the years. I say a few as lots have come in on lovely cards, and we have lots on our Facebook which you can check out here. Check some we’ve collected below…
Hope you are all well. Just wanted to say a massive thank you from ali and me! You guys were incredible and absolutely made our evening. Everyone is commenting today how great you guys were so thank you so much!!! We could not have asked for a better band, you guys nailed it. Every set was amazing! You guys are by far the best band we have ever heard so again we cannot thank you enough! – Andy & Ali Married @ The Savoy, London March 2019
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you! We just wanted to say thank you again, you were just so good throughout the entire evening from setting up in the two rooms at the start, all the way through to the finale and selfie. You were described as “Vocal Chocolate” by Ruth Ashdown who is Allie’s friend and WBC Diamond Belt Muay Thai champion, which is high praise and no one will argue with Ruth ! You were excellent all the way through, there was some very excited dancing and a piggy back ride from our sons that had Simon checking his insurance policy in case it went wrong. Thank You, Simon and Allie – Married Feb 2019
I just wanted to say thank you to you all from both Alex and I for your performance on Saturday! You were absolutely fantastic and really made it a good party atmosphere! We are both so grateful and will recommend you to everyone we know! Esther and Alex – Married 16th June 2018
I wanted to say a HUGE thank you to you and the band for being so totally amazing at our wedding back on 19 May.
I’ve had nothing but positive comments from all the guests and you certainly kept the dance floor full right until the end. In fact lots of people told me that they thought you were the best wedding band they’d ever heard and that they could have carried on dancing to your music for hours! Alexander and I felt the same. It was so nice to have so many people dancing including the older generation. You really made the party! Thank you ever so much. – Rebecca and Alexander – Married 19th May 2018
Hi Guys!! WOW!!!!! I don’t even know if I have the words to tell you how lucky we feel to have had Mister Kanish at our wedding!!! I don’t think I could ever have imagined having such an incredible night… From our first dance to the last minute of the night the dance floor was full and there wasn’t a single person that didn’t comment on how incredible you guys were!!
We have never had so much fun and are absolutely over the moon that you were a massive part of a day that we will never ever forget. Messages are still flooding in about how amazing you were and I think we are half way through planning another party just to have you guys back!!! We didn’t want it to end… I really can’t thank you enough… You really were the highlight of our day and everyone else’s that joined us!! Thank you so so so much!!! Best Wishes and we hope to see you again in the future!! Kelly and James – Married 5th April 2018
I just wanted to drop you and the rest of the band a small note to say a very big and a very grateful thank you for your wonderful performance on Saturday night. We had so many guests come up to us and say how fantastic the music was and how brilliant you were. I’m thrilled to pieces that you were free on my dad’s birthday and that you put on such a good show. We absolutely loved having you play and everyone’s performance was of such a high quality (which is nothing less than we expected) but you all looked like you were having so much fun too which makes a huge difference. The songs were brilliant and there were quite a few favourites of my own in the mix which was a bonus. To anyone considering hiring this band for your special event I would say absolutely go for it; you won’t regret it! – 60th Birthday Party – March 2018
I could not have wished for a more amazing 50th birthday thanks to the band. My friends and family were completely bowled over and even the venue owners thought you were fab. Without a doubt this was one of the most fun and memorable days of my life and I’m still grinning from ear to ear! If you are in any doubt as to the power of live music, listen to these guys…thank you from the bottom of my heart. Tamara – 50th birthday – March 2018
Mister Kanish!! Thank you so much for the epic night you put on for us on Saturday! We have had so many people raving about you and how great the music was all day. Thank you also for dealing so patiently and with such good humour with the over-enthusiastic stage invaders and the impromptu Aussie karaoke session in between the 2nd and 3rd set! A special thank you to Chris who I understand was really not well (Chris – I ended up going into hospital the next day – that’s commitment!) and still showed up to deliver such an amazing performance – I hope you are feeling better! We’ve been watching you on YouTube for 18 months and reading every review we could get our hands on but you still over-delivered – it was just what we wanted for our wedding! Thank you so much! Liz and Will Langton – Married June 2017
We booked Mister Kanish to play their classic, folky style at our wedding in May 2017. It’s fair to say they were simply amazing and without a doubt the highlight of the entire day. People never left the dance floor and the guys are first to be mentioned when we chat to anyone about our wedding. Everything was flawless from booking to tailoring the music to the crowd, learning our first dance & throwing in some 90s rap in between songs! Cannot recommend highly enough and wish we had another occasion to book them for. Thanks, Louise & Dave – Wedding, May 2017
Hi Chris, I’d like to say a big thank you for yesterday you made our day very special and you were amazing, all the guests couldn’t stop talking about you. Thanks for making our day even more special Sarah and Lawrence – Wedding, March 2017
Hi Chris, Sorry for not getting back to you sooner. We cannot thank you enough for not only playing at our wedding, but helping to make the day truly memorable. We absolutely loved your unique take on well-known songs, and even going the extra mile with requests that you may not have been familiar with. Definitely above and beyond!!! Once again, thank you so much. All the best, Adam and Vicky – Wedding, January 2017
Hope you got back ok on Saturday night. Firstly I’m so sorry that Saturday was so stressful for you all! ( Chris – I was hit by a moped travelling between the ceremony and evening party!!) We hope you got your dinner ok, and that your journey home was hiccup free. I also hope that in the middle of the stress you got to have some fun. I mean – you had a crowd dancing for the sound check – I’m guessing not every wedding is quite like that, you should consider that a credit to your sound checking skills. Secondly – our wildly drunken friends were incredibly impressed and had a great time dancing to you, you were brilliant. You literally made the day. In some ways I wish they were a little bit less mainstream and then we could have rocked out to some cheesy metal all night. I can’t think how we can justify hiring you again, but I’ll start thinking on it! Thanks again, Gemma and Keith – Wedding, November 2016
Hi Chris, A massive thank you again for Saturday. The band was fantastic & having them their throughout our wedding really made our day & provided the perfect atmosphere. Nothing was too much trouble. I’d also like to thank them for their flexibility as the weather was slightly unpredictable!
The comments and compliments from our guests have been incredible, a real credit to the band. I’m sure they will be talking about it again & again for weeks to come. We will email you some photos once the photographer has sent them across. Regards, Matt and Ange – Wedding, October 2016
Just wanted to say a big thank you to you guys for playing at our wedding, you were amazing and really made the night! We’ve had so many comments from our friends and family to say how fantastic you were and how much they enjoyed the music. My favourite was the final Rage Against the Machine, not typically heard at weddings but truly awesome! You mentioned on the night that you had recorded the set, it’d be great if we could have a copy as in actual fact we missed a lot of it. Having to talk to 100 people in the space of a few hours doesn’t give you much time for anything else! Hopefully we’ll see you again somewhere In the future.
Cheers, Mr and Mrs B! – Wedding, Oct 2016
Hi Chris! So so sorry that we haven’t emailed sooner to say a massive thank you. Things have been a bit mad here and we’ve actually moved out to Budapest, but no excuse really. We absolutely loved having you at our wedding, you played all of our favourite songs and the morning after the wedding everyone was talking about how much they loved you guys! Which you may have noticed by the fact they kept calling for encores!! We loved our first dance to Biffy and thank you for doing L.O.V.E for us (even if I couldn’t find my husband at that point!) We were so excited to have you play at the wedding, and you did not disappoint – we would recommend you to everyone. You were wonderful to work with during the whole booking process too, even dealing directly with our venue – we can’t thank you enough. Kimberley and David – Wedding, Sept 2016
To all the band, Just wanted to say THANK YOU for such an amazing evening at our wedding on the 24th September, you really were the icing on the cake, we have had so many comments about how fantastic you guys were. Paying for a great band was one thing we decided was worth splashing out for and you guys were the money most well spent! Truly a fantastic night, no one on the dancefloor wanted it to end (which seemed to be everyone big and small!) Hope to see you at your Christmas gig. Love Henry and Ellie x x – Wedding, Sept 2016
Blimey Mister Kanish! It’s Sam and Chloe here… It’s taken us 24 hours to write to say thank you because frankly, we’re in denial that our party is over. You guys were totally, totally brilliant – we loved you and our guests loved you. We knew you were going to be amazing but I don’t think all the videos we watched online could really prepare us for the charisma, charm and musicianship you guys have. I loved your first number because it meant Sam (Chloe’s writing this) got to live her dream of dancing in front of 140 people and I got to live mine by seeing Sam dance AT me. You guys know your stuff, you know your set lists are perfectly plotted to create a different vibe each set you play and it’s genius. Not a duff note or song in the house. We’ll do as much tweeting and stuff as we can about you but let us know if there’s anything else you need or that we can do to help you out. When we get the photos back in a few weeks hopefully there will be some great ones of you and we’ll send them over. In the meantime, thanks guys, you genuinely rock. Chloe & Sam – Wedding, Sept 2016
Dear Chris (and everyone) I hope you are all well and having a good weekend. We are now back from our honeymoon and still on a high from our wedding on the 17th September and wanted to drop you a quick note of thanks. We had a fantastic day and a huge part of it was down to Mister Kanish! Everyone has been raving about you and we’ve lost count of how many friends and family have described you guys as ‘the best wedding band ever’ (it’s still happening 3 weeks later!)! The music was absolutely brilliant and everyone had such a fantastic time and you had everyone dancing all night which I don’t think I have ever seen before – and all generations too which was lovely to see. Also a massive thanks as well for being so flexible and happy to keep the party going slightly longer than planned given how much fun everyone was having and not wanting the evening to come to an end! It goes without saying that if we’re ever asked for any wedding recommendations you will be top of the list! Many thanks again, Charlie and Claire – Wedding, Sept 2016
Just wanted to drop you a line to thank you for playing on Sunday. We had an absolute blast and really appreciate you playing such a personalised set list – really made all the difference and a great end to the day! Thanks for being such good sports and powering through the bad weather. Really hope to see you guys again and perhaps we can use you for another event soon. Thanks again, Paul – Wedding, August 2016
We have been bombarded ever since Saturday night with messages about how amazing you guys were! You absolutely made the day for us. We couldn’t believe that the dance floor was totally packed all night with everyone from 16- 79. Will’s granny rang today just to say how much she loved you and you even got my mum (who never dances) on her feet all night. It really was the total highlight of the day for us and I’m so so pleased we found you and you were free! We were also really grateful for how smoothly everything went with the set up etc so thanks also for that. I really hope we can find an excuse to book you guys again someday! We will write something up on your Facebook page when we’ve recovered a bit more, but please pass this on to the whole band in the meantime. Many, many thanks again! Rebecca – Wedding, August 2016
There are literally no words that can express just how awesome you guys were at our wedding! You had everyone up on their feet the entire night, I’ve never been to a wedding where people danced so much, it was amazing to see at our own wedding! We just wanted to say a huge thanks to all of you for making the effort to come all the way to Norfolk and play for us all. We had compliments from everyone at the wedding, older and younger! Several people who are planning their own weddings asked for your contact info, I hope you don’t mind us passing it on! You guys have been brilliant from the outset, we can’t thank you enough for topping off what truly was an amazing day. Daisy the dog will miss you too! Take care guys, and once again, thank you so much! Philippa & Christian – Wedding, August 2016
Claire and I want to thank you so much for your amazing show during our wedding the 13th July. Until now, our friends and guests tell us how much they liked you. It was an amazing evening and you guys were a major part of this ! We want to thank you again for the show and your kindness, you came in Strasbourg with a long trip just for us and we will never forget your arrival ! We hope to see you soon, you will always be welcome in Strasbourg like our guests ! Claire and Philippe KAHN – Wedding, France, – July 2016
Thank you so much for playing at our wedding on Friday. Many of our guests have commented on how amazing the set was, we all had a really great time! It was just a shame you couldn’t have played for longer. Again, apologies for running so late. We would like to thank you for starting the night off so wonderfully with ‘Kissing you’ and then finishing on such a high note with ‘Live forever’. The atmosphere was great throughout the evening and it was a lovely touch when you played outside to gather all the guests after the evening food. Also, thank you so much for playing ‘The cave’, we both really love the song and your efforts to relearn it were appreciated. One final note, when I was being catapulted up in the air by my friends I noticed that one of the band members was taking a video/photo’s. If possible, I would really appreciate if you could send it to me? Many Thanks, Tomasz & Louise – Wedding, July 2016
Hi Chris, Two weeks on from our wedding people are still talking about how fun it was and how brilliant Mister Kanish were! We would like to thank you all for being so pro but also so fun. The dance floor was packed all night, people absolutely loved the evening. We knew that it was an investment booking the band. It really was the best thing we did to secure a great time for everyone. We decided on our first dance less than two weeks before the event because we weren’t sure what to have yet Ben and the guys made such a super job of it. People who never normally dance were on the dance floor all night enjoying themselves. Thank you so much for helping us to have a wedding that we will remember forever. Di and Phil Wedding – July 2016
Dear Chris, Ben and the rest of the band. On behalf of my wife and I, our families and friends we just want to say thank you for making our evening the best it could of possibly been. You guys topped off an incredible day for us and we are so grateful. You were better than we remember and can’t wait to see you again at our friends wedding next year on 8th July! (Natalie and Kevin were our maid of honour and best man) We will highly recommend you to anyone who asks. Thanks again, Ben and Dani – July 2016
First of all our apologies for not sending you this email sooner. We disappeared off on honeymoon straight after the wedding and have been without signal or even Wifi since.We don’t know where to start saying thank you for playing our wedding on the 1st May 2016. The two songs you learned and played for us were fantastic (in fact if you ever get a chance to record All of Me, we’d love to buy /get a copy from yourselves as a permanent reminder of our first dance and how good you were). Seeing the emotion on Sean’s aunts face after Alice was really great – and everyone else was up singing along to it as well. Sums up our friends really. Everyone on the night was blown away by you guys. We’ve lost track of the number of times that day and since that people have remarked how amazing you are. You’re such a nice bunch of guys too, it’s just the complete package. We’re already at the point where we are looking into planning another event (don’t know what yet), just so we can have you guys play again. Again, thank you. Our wedding wouldn’t have been the same without you guys! Kind regards, Sean & Jen – Wedding, May 2016
Dear Chris, now back from honeymoon and we both wanted to say to you all a big thank you!! Everyone had such a great time, and great to see everyone on the dance floor. Everything from first dance, learning red trousers song, adopting Eliana as a new singer and just really great music – thankyou, could not have been any better or any more fun!! Caroline and Nick – Wedding, April 2016
How utterly fantastic! Mister Kanish did everything promised and then some. Truly gave my daughter and Nick a magnificent day. Thank them so much. Chris of Gaddens Manor, and father of the bride. – Wedding, April 2016
Chris, what can I say, you guys were absolutely brilliant. I have not spoken to anyone who was not impressed and the dancefloor was full any time I looked at it. Sorry I missed Paul at the end but it was due to self inflicted actions requiring immediate sleep. Hope we have occasion to use your band again and I hope that Aynhoe put you on their list of Acts. Enrica is your best contact. Once again. Thanks. Lawrence. – Wedding, January 2016
Hey Chris – I hope all is good with you. Thanks again for doing such a cracking performance at our wedding last weekend. We all had a blast – Nirvana and Rage against the Machine as the closing numbers was just awesome! I’m sure you have brides telling you this all the time – but you cover of I’m your Man for our first dance was just magic, we enjoyed it so much! Its one of my favourite songs and i thought you’re cover of it was beautiful. And on that note I’m absolutely kicking myself that we didnt get someone on the case with a video camera so we could enjoy it again! So i just wanted to check whether there is any chance you guys would have recorded it for your own records either on the night itself or in your rehearsals etc?! I know its unlikely, but if you did it would be amazing to get a copy! i dont think either of us have ever had a song learnt and played just for us before – it was such a special moment so thanks again. Radar love was also awesome!! And my Dad’s favourite All Right Now! Loads of happy memories! I hope my sister gets married so we can book you again, haha. All the best, Katy – Wedding, September 2015
Just wanted to send you a HUGE thanks for yesterday. You guys were all so good. All the tunes and showmanship were superb. Every single person who has text or called today have all said that you are the best wedding band they have heard. Also massive thanks for learning those two songs. Such a personal touch for our first song. Thanks again and we will be recommending for anyone who asks! For us the music was always going to be a huge part of the day and you guys fitted what we wanted perfectly. Hope you got back ok and have some time off after than number of weddings! Thanks, Claire and Al – Wedding August 2015
I wanted to say a massive thank you for making our wedding reception such a memorable event, everyone today won’t stop talking about how good you guys were. The first dance was perfect also! You absolutely smashed it and I couldn’t have wished it to be any better. Music choices were spot on! Also you guys made me cry which is good for me as I didn’t even cry at the ceremony 🙂 Also thanks for being such great fun on the night and having a laugh with everyone. I hope to see you guys again and I will be sure to recommend you for other events. Thanks again, Charlotte and Lee – Wedding August 2015
Sorry for late email but just got back into the land of the living after honeymoon. Can we just say a massive thank you for your performances at our wedding. Seriously they were out of this world!! I can honestly say you were one of the things I was looking forward to most at our wedding and you didn’t disappoint!! You were brilliant and thank you for putting up with/humoring the best man singing Oasis at the end 🙂 Everybody was commenting on how good you were! Thanks again Chris, Regards Dom – Wedding August 2015
Hi Chris, sorry for delay just wanted to say thanks for making our wedding day very special and we had so much feedback from our guests to say how great the band where thank all the band from us. Thanks Darren & Debbie – August 2015
I just wanted to say thank you to you and the rest of the band for doing such an amazing job with the music for Allie and Sam’s wedding on the 25th. You were excellent and I would certainly recommend you to future clients. I hope the rest of your weddings this summer go really well and hope to work with you again soon! Best wishes, Nicola – Brighton Wedding Planner – Wedding July 2015
Hi guys, sorry it’s taken us a little while to email but we’ve just got back from our honeymoon. Thank you so, so much for playing at our wedding! We had the most amazing day and it would not have been the same without you 🙂 Every single person we’ve spoken to has said how incredible you were and that they had so much fun dancing and singing along. There were a few sore heads when we were tidying up the next day but it was 1000% worth it 😉 Best night ever!! We’re just so sad that we can’t do it all again! Thanks as well for being super cool, friendly and a total dream to deal with before the day – it’s a bit stressful organising a wedding but you made it so easy and you were very patient even though I was a bit of a picky bridezilla at times (I’m back to normal now, much to Rob’s relief! Haha). Also, not sure who it was but apparently one of you played football with our little nephew outside so thanks for that – he was made up 🙂 You really did make our day perfect, thank you! Love Bec and Rob – Wedding July 2015
Dear Chris, Ben, Andy, Ollie and Tim, Maria and I would just like to say a huge thanks for your incredible performance at our wedding. We literally had the best evening ever, and by the sounds of it so did everyone else! Everybody had an amazing time. We loved what you did with the Blink song, it made that first dance very special and personal to hear it played that way. Also, thank you so much for playing 1985 – that one went down a treat! Overall though, it was just amazing. Every single song was brilliant. I’ve been going through the wedding video footage the last couple of days and it’s just so great to hear some of the songs again. Lots of memories there! Everyone loved you guys – “the band” was pretty much the main talking point the next morning. So again, thank you! Many thanks again Harrison & Maria Here’s a link to the video – Rock Show Cover
We really wanted to say a belated BIG THANK YOU for playing at our wedding on 29th March this year at Priory Cottages, Nr Wetherby. You were all absolutely fantastic and were even better than we could have ever imagined. We had lots of great comments from our guests saying you were the best band they’d ever seen and we couldn’t agree more! The fact that everyone was up dancing from your first song until the bitter end is testament to just how great you are. Thank you for learning the songs we requested and playing them so beautifully, we were so impressed, especially as they weren’t as mainstream as some other songs. Our first dance, Green Eyes by Coldplay, was just perfect! The mix between Classic and Mister was just what we were looking for and gave us the best of both worlds with the style of music we both love. Everything from start to finish was just great from the clear and speedy communication from Chris in the run up to the wedding, to changing back to the Classic style for my favourite song to finish the evening (Time of your Life, GreenDay) – nothing was a bother at all for you guys! I’m now just trying to think of an occasion where we can book you again in the future! To any brides and grooms looking for an AMAZING band that’ll get you and your guests dancing all night then look no further – Mister Kanish has it all! Thanks again Chris and Claire Arnold – Wedding March 2015
This is a very belated thank you for your amazing performance at our wedding last year, at Holmbury St Mary Village Hall last October. You made the evening for us and turned it into a brilliant party, enjoyed by all. We hope to see you perform again soon. Our friends who are getting married next year may well be getting in touch. All the best and thank you again, Simon and Louise – Wedding October 2014
Hi Chris and all the band, Just a quick note to say thank you for Saturday. We both had so so many people telling us how fantastic you were and loads asking me how I’d found you … So there will probably be a few more google searches for mister Kanish happening : ) I have since watched a few videos if the ceremony and I can’t believe how wonderfully you played Secret Garden, it means a lot to me that song and you timed it so perfectly, got the mood of the song so exactly and the singing had me crying all over again it was so beautiful. The playing in the temple was great too, just the cool relaxed air I hoped for, and obviously in the evening you had everyone jumping and I’m pretty sure I saw some moshing at one point. It’s a bit of a funny place for the disco the coachstore but you guys made it work as there was dancing going on everywhere. Thanks, – Stephanie and Alex – Wedding Sept 2014
Lisa and I have just got back from the honeymoon and I would like to say a huge thanks for playing at our wedding. The band were everything we hoped for, we really enjoyed ourselves. Our guests had a great time dancing and that’s mainly down to the energy and sound you guys had. I particularly loved your rendition of Johnny B Goode and thanks for playing the request of We Are Young. I know a couple of people who will be booking you guys next year so hopefully see you play again. Take care, San and Lisa – Wedding Sept 2014
Just wanted to drop you a belated message to thank you and the band for travelling to perform for us at our wedding. It was brilliant and my favourite part of the day – apart from seeing my wife obviously! Beer in hand and nerves gone what more could you want?! We both wish we could do it all again without the stress this time and hope you enjoyed the event too, appreciating you were ‘working’. All the best to you all for future, you really have a great sound and what a voice. Thanks again, Pete and Helen – Wedding Sept 2014
We just wanted to say a big massive thank you for performing at our wedding last weekend!! You guys were absolutely awesome!! Everyone of our guests have been raving about you guys since – you had us all on the dance floor all night!! We loved the selection of music you all played and absolutely loved the version of “use somebody” that you performed for us during our first dance!! We wouldn’t hesitate recommending you to anybody. We wana do it all again! Ha! We truly had the most unforgettable day ever and you guys were a massive part of that! Thank you so much – you guys rock the most!! Is there an address you could provide us so we can send you a proper thank you card? Hope you didn’t think the welsh were too crazy tee hee! Thank you again Mr Kanish! Absolutely outstanding! Best wishes Mr and Mrs Offside – Wedding Sept 2014
Hi I was one of the guests at the Birmingham wedding for Tris and Rachel. You were superb and it’s the first and probably the last time I ever dance to Craig David and the Spice Girls. You made two dreadful songs sound so good!! Thanks Andy – Wedding Guest – August 2014
We are finally back to reality after a whirlwind couple of months, and wanted to say a MASSIVE thank you for rocking our wedding back in May. You were absolutely awesome from start to finish, which was reflected in the jam packed dance floor all night. Steve and I had decided from the beginning that our wedding band would be one of the most important aspects of our wedding day, and we are in no doubt that we made the perfect choice. You were more than helpful in the run up to the wedding, in particular allowing us to organise our best mans involvement in playing along to the first dance – something that meant a lot to us. You were also professional and friendly on the day, as well as very patient with the numerous guests who decided they wanted to be a part of the band! Steve in particular would like to say a huge thank you for allowing him to play the drums at his wedding, something he has always wanted to do. We have had so many amazing comments from our guests on how good you guys were. You played a range of songs to suit everyone and no one was left disappointed (especially my Dad, who was transported back to his youth head banging to T Rex). Of course all this did pose the problem of leaving the dance floor to speak to our evening guests (which we severely struggled with). Thanks again and rest assured we will be recommending you to anyone and everyone who will listen – in fact a couple I am bridesmaid for loved you so much they have booked you for their wedding next April, so see you on the dance floor! Love and best wishes – Kayleigh and Steve – Wedding May 2014
