What our clients say about Athens
I wanted to say a big thanks to all the band members from Athens who played at our wedding The night was a tremendous success and all of our guests thought that the band was exceptional.The band played everything that we wanted making the night a vibrant night full of joy, the dance floor was full during each set, all night. The band played well beyond our expectations and come across as being very professional and highly capable.The band were keen to know what we wanted and certainly met our needs on the night! They worked hard at making the evening wonderful and they achieved it with ease. We had a vision in mind of what we wanted for our evening wedding entertainment, and to be honest we did not expect that anyone could meet our grand vision but in actual fact the band met this vision and took it to the next level. We simply could not have hoped for anything better.It was spot on! All of our guests have commented on the entertainment and were hugely impressed with the band and their music.So again, thanks to Athens for making our wedding that extra bit special! You guys were fantastic.

I wouldn't hesitate to book Athens again for future family events. In fact I've already recommended them to friends for their weddings. They have a good varied repertoire and kept my guests on their feet all night. I especially loved the killers set they did for Sam and I. They are great friendly bunch of guys
