The smooth criminals were absolutely brilliant at our wedding! They kept the energy going all night and played such a good mix of music that guests of all ages were on the dance floor all night! They were efficient with all the arrangements and played so many of our requests- 100% recommend!! More...

Thank you so so much again for your amazing performance at our Wedding earlier this year. It's wasn't an easy task knowing that most of the Wedding Guests were professional musicians and sound engineers but you absolutely nailed it!

Can I just say from both Katy and I that the amount of guests who have come up to us and said just how brilliant you were is incredible. You absolutely smashed it out of the park and it was great to see jut so many guests enjoying it and having fun, my only complaint would be because I spent all night dancing I missed out on the cheese boards! But seriously, the way you got everyone dancing so quick was brilliant, our first dance was great fun and we could not be happier to have you play our wedding. We shall recommend you to every friend we have and hopefully we’ll see you play again soon. More...

You totally made the evening and created such a good atmosphere. Thank you very much for learning Run, that was a great moment and capturing on camera for us. I am sorry I would highly recommend you to anyone and I hope to see you again in the future. Professional, entertaining and super talented Smooth Criminals. Thank you from all of Pop Chorus More...

Hi James! It was great to see and hear you at our Gala Dinner in March - you guys went down an absolute storm! Even though we had fewer guests because of the horrible snow storm, I don't think I've ever seen so many people on the dance floor at a work event! I've had some fantastic feedback, and lots of people have requested your details... I also did a feedback survey and The Smooth Criminals got brilliant mentions throughout. so thank you very very much!Corporate Gala Dinner, held at The Belfry Hotel, Sutton Coldfield, March 2018 More...

Sat on a balcony on our honeymoon and still singing along to the songs you performed for us on our wedding day. All I can say is if anyone is looking for a band for any type of function stop searching as the Smooth Criminals are the band for you.

Had the Smooth Criminals for our wedding on Saturday and my dad's 60th birthday party on Sunday. Everything was done so professionally and effortlessly. We were completely relaxed for the whole of the wedding day knowing James had it under control, played great background music in the afternoon with disco music between sets in the evening. The band were faultless and had amazing feedback from everyone. Worth every penny. Thanks for making our wedding so special! More...

This band helped us provide a hotel entertainment at very short notice, they were very professional and accommodated the older audience fantastically with a great range of older commercial music, with a packed dance floor throughout the night. Could not thank them enough and hopefully will see them again in the future. Thank you! More...

Andy and I had the Smooth Criminals to play our wedding at Moor Hall on Saturday. As you can see from the pictures, the dance floor was packed all evening. All of the band were so enthusiastic and clearly enjoyed themselves too! From booking until the evening, they were so supportive and have been in communication with us whenever we have needed. We can't thank you enough.

You really made our evening and everyone who we have spoken to since Saturday has complimented and asked about you. We can't thank you enough.

Lots of love, Kerry and Andy xxxx

Fantastic band that had the wedding party on their feet this weekend at Farnham Castle. This is the third time we have see The Smooth Criminals, having booked them for our own wedding 2 years earlier, on the basis of having seen them a year previous to that at another friends wedding. 100% what you would want from a wedding band - professional, talented and fun!

It was luck (or possibly fate) that brought the Smooth Criminals to our attention, having randomly found them whilst browsing the internet for our wedding band and we are glad of it.

Named after Atif’s favourite ever Michael Jackson song and listening to some of their stuff online we knew they were the ones for our big day and they did not disappoint!

Not only did they do an amazing set and had everyone on the dancefloor for the entire night, but they also learned MJ’s Smooth Criminal just for Atif – which he says is one of the best covers he has heard.

Since our wedding, we have been to two other weddings where they have been the band because the couples loved them so much at ours, as well as having recommended them to many others who have booked them. They are an incredible band and you will not be disappointed.

James & co – you are already pencilled in for our next big birthdays but hopefully see you before then!

Many thanks for your kind words Atif and Rachael, always a pleasure to perform for you both!

We're back from honeymoon and now the dust has settled we wanted to say a huge THANK YOU to all of you for helping make our wedding a day to remember. You were brilliant (even better than I'd remembered from your promo video), and everyone kept coming up to us all night to say how fantastic you were. You kept the dance floor moving, and we had an absolute blast celebrating with you. We will definitely be recommending you to others (and judging from our guests' reactions, some of them will be too!). James, you made all of the arrangements in the run up so easy, and as a slightly frazzled bride to be I really appreciated that! We are still on cloud nine, and you all will be one of our stand out memories for years to come. More...

The icing on the (Wedding) cake. We hired the smooth criminals for our wedding's evening entertainment (14/05/11 - Staffordshire) Here is the feedback I had for the band after our amazing day. ..
'"We just wanted to drop you a quick email and say thanks for your brilliant energy that you brought to our evening after our marriage. We realise that timings had slipped later than planned so many thanks for your flexibility and calm in just getting on with it when the time came. When the time did come you thoroughly entertained and allowed our guests to dance their socks off. Lots of our guests commented afterwards how great you all were and we also hope that you managed to enjoy yourselves as well." Having planned and worried that all our wedding details would come together and ensuring the guests would enjoy themselves. In hindsight we needn't have worried in the slightest about the music and our guests being entertained. Smooth Criminals delivered an awesome performance and I wouldn't hesitate to book them for another party event. Many thanks. Tom & Nicola

We hired the smooth criminals for our wedding (28/08/10 near Worcester). The band really made the evening, the music was really uplifting and kept our guests on the dancefloor all night and it was a shame when it came to an end. ..
Our guests were full of complements and hopefully we will see you again at 1 of their weddings...
