testimonials

Laura and I would like to thank you all for making our wedding day complete. Your version of our first dance song was fantastic, and we actually thought it better than the original, despite you only having a short time to learn it.  All our guests commented on how the band were great, and suited the venue perfectly.  Your mix of music was great, with all tastes being catered for.  The venue, who'd never had a 5 piece band play, thought you were brilliant.  Before the reception, the band were great, being flexible with access to the venue, and the discussions about first dance choice.  We'd happily recommend Pacific to anyone looking for a band.

Just a very quick thank you to yourself and the rest of Pacific for playing at our wedding yesterday.  We both thought the music was fantastic - we received countless compliments from guests on the band and from the packed dancefloor it was obvious that it was a very succesful end to a very happy day.

We had a wonderful wedding, a great First Dance and we loved the band, the dance floor was busy all night!  Great song choice and you are obviously a very talented band.  Our only critisicm is that the evening was far too short and we all wanted you to play longer!!

Guests have commented on what a fantastic band they are! Great female vocalist and excellent at calling the Ceilidh dances, which really helped with all the foreign relatives. Very professional and helpful throughout the booking and run up to the wedding.

Sonja and the rest of the band were so accomplished, the first dance was beautifully done (and they did very well, given we requested the Foo Fighters!), the crowd LOVED the mixture of genres and the fantastic ceilidh renditions. Everyone commented on how much fun they had and the dancefloor was busy all night long! Totally professional throughout and really made our day outstanding! Thanks Pacific!

Moorpark House Hotel - April 2011

We would like to say a huge THANK YOU to Pacific for playing at our wedding. A totally professional band who look great but more importantly sound great as well. No question or request was a problem in the lead up to our special day. The music was superb, the mix of Jazz and Swing, Ceilidh and modern and classic wedding songs kept the guests on their toes and the dance floor packed for the entire night. Nobody wanted the night to end, it was perfect from start to finish and a huge part of that was down to Pacific for doing such a fantastic job. We cannot recommend this band highly enough.

Dunblane Hydro Hotel - April 2011

From the moment we met Graham at a Wedding Fayre we knew that this was the band for us. Everything about the service that Pacific provide is perfect - from the communication in the lead up to the wedding right up to the night itself. A very talented band with an amazing mix of music. Our dance floor was never empty and they helped to create the most perfect night of our lives. We'd like to take this opportunity to say a massive thank you to the whole band for being a part of our wedding.

 Lynne and I would like to thank you all for helping to make our wedding day such a special occasion.  We were both really pleased with the quality of your music, and in particular the fact that you took the time and made the effort to learn our First Dance.  We appreciate that it was a bit of an unusual choice but you did a great job.  Overall the evening function went really well and the feedback from our family and friends has been superb.  Pacific made a significant contribution to the success of the evening, and we would once again like to thank you for your contribution.  We are moving back to Scotland early next year and we would have no hesitation in recommending you to any potential clients.

Houstoun House Hotel - February 2011

Having arranged our reception at such short notice we were very lucky that Pacific were available and they were very helpful in that short period of time. Everyone was so impressed by the variety of music they could play and how talented the musicians were - we lost count of the number of different instruments that were being played! As usual, it all ended too quickly. 

Jill and Bruce
Grand Central Hotel - January 2011

We were so impressed with every aspect of the service that you guys provided for us.  The music was outstanding and you kept our guests thoroughly entertained for hours.  Thank you for everything!'

 We were excited when we came across your website and thrilled to hear that  you were available to perform at our event. You were very understanding of our needs as a charity and we felt confident in handing the reins over to you guys to decide the playlist. We were not disappointed. The music was excellent and the atmosphere you created was second to none. On the run up to the event you provided me with lots of support and guidance. You were approachable, easy to communicate with and everyone who attended had a fantastic evening. We would have no hesitation in recommended you to others.

Oran Mor - November 2010

The set list was just perfect and we loved how you mixed the tracks in together, it kept everyone up all night!  I don't think there was a moment when the dancefloor was empty.  The highlight of the night for us was the last dance, you timed it all perfectly and adapted the song just the way want wanted it.  Everyone we've spoken to since the wedding have commented on the music and atmosphere in the evening....they kept asking us "where did you find this band Pacific, they're fantastic!".  Your relaxed and friendly approach also added to the atmosphere of the evening. We will certainly be recommending you guys should anyone be looking for a band.

Melville Castle - October 2010

 We found Pacific Wedding Band after a long hard search on the internet.  We went to hear them at a local wedding fayre and booked them on the spot.  Leading up to our wedding, the communication with Sonja and Graham was fantastic - including sending the set play list so that we knew what we would be dancing to on our wedding day.  They also agreed to learn a new song to play at our wedding - it was a dedication to the bride's parents for all their help - it was their first dance from their wedding.

All night the dance floor was packed, the Scots and the Geordies (the groom's side!) all loved the ceilidh and the mix of modern and classic wedding songs!  We have had so many comments on how fabulous the band were!  And we have to agree.  Thanks you for making the day so special for us, and I am sure we, and other people at the wedding will be booking you for other events.

 

Gail and Scott Archer
MacDonald Inchyra Grange Hotel - September 2010

 Pacific were all we could ask for in a band.  They looked great, were professional in all our dealings with them but most importantly, kept the dancefloor packed all night - so much so that people were dancing in between tables when they couldn't all fit on the dancefloor!  We all know how important a band can be in making or breaking a great party and Pacific certainly made it a night to remember.  We would not hesitate to recommend Pacific and were delighted to have them playing at our wedding.

Barony Castle, Peebles - September 2010

 We were hugely impressed with the service you provided at our wedding at Keavil House Hotel. Your high level of organisation put our minds at rest and allowed us to fully enjoy what we knew would be a dance-floor filled night. Not only did we thoroughly enjoy your music but a high proportion of our guests commented on your diverse set. Anyone looking for a good mixture of music, outstanding vocals and first class instrumentals should definately book you. We simply could not rate you high enough.

Jennifer & Craig Cunningham
Keavil House Hotel - August 2010

Outstanding! We had an amazing night's dancing at our wedding and our only disappointment was that it had to end eventually. Thank you for the high level of professionalism you gave us from the moment we contacted you until the end of the wedding. The band are extremely talented and read the mood perfectly, providing a super mix of ceilidh and modern songs. Everyone loved it and even guests we didn't expect to be up on the floor were showing their moves and having a great time. We would have no hesitation in recommending Pacific to friends and family. Well worth every penny!

Ruth & James
Harburn House - August 2010

Thanks to Pacific for being a really special part of our wedding day. We really enjoying having Pacific and the music was excellent. Sonja, Graham and the rest of the band members were really easy to deal with - they responded to all our suggestions and were pleasant and friendly throughout. The band played a great mix of songs and got the crowd up dancing. We especially appreciated the ceilidh set. We would have no hesitation in recommending Pacific to friends, colleagues and family. Thank you guys!

Dave and Fe McGuire
Carberry House - August 2010

 Thank you Pacific for fantastic entertainment at our wedding.  We had a small wedding in Scotland (but live in England) and found Pacific so helpful in the months before the wedding.  Communication was always very prompt.  The group are very talented musicians and have an excellent lead singer.  The entertainment was amazing and we would really recommend the Ceilidh. Our guests commented on how great Pacific were and we would highly recommend them.  Thank you once again.

Lisa & Andrew Molloy
Huntingtower Hotel - August 2010

 Thanks for a fantastic night, Pacific were amazing and we couldn't have asked for anything more. Guest commented on how good you were and they were up on the dance floor all night.  Choice of songs were perfect and there was something for everyone. Thanks again for such a wonderful evening; we will be recommending Pacific to everyone!

Gemma Hamilton
Shawlands Park - August 2010

 Pacific are an excellent choice of Wedding band. Both we and our guests from Scotland and Norway thoroughly enjoyed the entire evening from the 1st Dance til the very last. The ceilidh was a great start to the evening and the dance floor was full all night, thanks to the mixture of music which catered for all. Thank you for making our wedding extra special, the live music of Pacific created a real party atmosphere!

 

Katie Brown
Auchen Castle - July 2010

 Pacific were absolutely amazing! Loved the music and all guests young and old commented on how good a mix of songs they provided.  As we had a wide variety of guests Pacific really catered for all.  The dance floor was full the whole night and they really made our night feel special.  Very professional contact with Sonja yet a relaxed band and found them great with communication.  Coming from someone who works in the entertainment business, I  would highly recommend this band, quick and efficient set up and an excellent group of people with a great energy and a very talented lead singer. 

Lindsay and Kenny
The Vu, Bathgate - July 2010

 We think Pacific were superb. They are a very professional, talented and courteous group. They played a wide range of music and interacted well with the guests on the dance floor. They were particularly good at encouraging guests through their own enthusiasm to participate in the Ceilidh and disco. We are really glad we chose Pacific. Thank you for a really memorable evening and sorry to inflict such bad dancing on you!

Debbie and Brian
House for an Art Lover - July 2010

Pacific Wedding Band are truly a very talented and entertaining group. We booked them for our small wedding this summer. I cannot recommend them enough. They really got the crowd on their feet and involved. They played something to suite every taste. All my guests were complementing the music and standard of the band for days after.
You made our wedding extremely memorable and for that we are very grateful to you all.

Clara & Mark Raybould
Auchen Castle, Moffat - July 2010

Thank you so much for your beautiful music at our wedding - you created a fantastic atmosphere and I think you managed to get every single one of our guests on the dancefloor throughout the evening.

 

Roland and Dominika Smyth
Mansfield Traquair, Edinburgh - June 2010

We are just back from honeymoon and wanted to take the opportunity to pass our sincere thanks on to you and the rest of the band. We (and our guests) thought you were tremendous. Pacific were such an important part of our wedding day and we were thrilled that the dancefloor was full all night. We were also delighted with the first dance song.
Your set and timing on the night were perfect for our range of guests and we can't thank you enough.
Thanks also to you personally for your time answering emails and making the organisation so easy. A class act!

Mr & Mrs Tannahill
Roman Camp House Hotel, Callander - May 2010

The band were always professional and well presented.  They set up quickly and with little fuss which was great especially since we all required to stay in the room during set up.  The mix of jazz/swing, ceilidh and pop was great and we together with all our guests loved the music.  Sonja was great at responding to our queries quickly on the run up to the wedding and the band were great with some of the requests made by our guests, including the somewhat strange brush dance!  An excellent band which helped make our day even more memorable! Thank you

Mr & Mrs Kemp
Oroco Pier, South Queensferry - December 2009

Hi Sonja,
Just a quick note to thank you and the guys so much for a great job at our wedding, everything was perfect and everyone loved you guys too!! The southerners particularly enjoyed the reel tuition which went down really well. We will definitely be recomending you to anyone who wants a band!!

Tom & Charlotte Darling
Duns Castle - December 2009

Pacific are a professionally turned out band, playing a variety of music to suit our function.  The dance floor was packed all night which really got our party going.  The volume of sound was commented upon as being ‘just right’, ie not too loud, which suited the varied age range of our guests.  Communication prior to and during our event was friendly and cooperative, making it a pleasure to deal with Sonja and Graham.  We would recommend them for any similar function.

Murrayfield Hospital
Edinburgh International Conference Centre - December 2009

Working with Pacific for our recent wedding fayre was a fantastic showcase of the band and their capabilities. Many brides who visited the event did stay longer due to the band's performance which was a great advertisement for both the hotel and Pacific. I have recommended them to many guests and would have no hesitation to book them for an event at the hotel.

Susan Busby, Wedding co-ordinator
Shawlands Park Hotel, Larkhall - September 2009

We thought you performed brilliantly at our wedding – the first dance was wonderful and we had lots of people telling us how amazing they thought your voice was Sonja and how diverse as well – you sang such a range of different songs. 

Mr & Mrs Rodger
MacDonald Houstoun Hotel, Uphall - September 2009

Just wanted to say a massive thank you for being so great and sharing our special day. Our guests all loved your music and we had a wonderful day and would highly recommend you -a big thank you again!

Vicki and Greig
Dynamic Earth Edinburgh – September 2009

All members of your band were approachable and friendly. Your music was exactly as we had asked and very well played. I think the mix of music types was appropriate and well laid out. We all really enjoyed dancing to it! The band seemed to enjoy themselves too which made things even more fun!

Graduation Committee
Glasgow University, Garscube Estate - July 2009

The band played an excellent set with a good variety of music which suited all age groups and had everyone up on the dance floor! We were very impressed with all of the contact and emails you provided prior to the wedding, kept us well informed, put our minds at ease and saved us a lot of stress.Very professional and courteous. Excellent Entertainment. We will be recommending the band to all.

Mr & Mrs Winter
Barony Hall – July 2009

I would just like to say a big thank you. The band was amazing and the mix of music was perfect. The guests were very impressed with the band and also really enjoyed the entertainment you provided. You made a perfect evening to our wedding day.

Sallie and Craig
Garvock House Hotel, Dunfermline - June 2009

Pacific have accomplished themselves as somewhat a resident band here at Glasgow’s Princes Square. As an establishment known for its elegant and sophisticated surroundings we could not have found a more suitable group to answer our entertainment requirements. Run by modestly young, energetic and enthusiastic musicians they play a wonderful selection of Jazz, swing and easy listening numbers to a high standard - a pleasure to work with and highly recommended.

Jane Cowan Centre Manager until April 2009
Princes Square, Glasgow - April 2009

On the night of the wedding they played a great variety of music and the dance floor was packed all night.

Pacific are extremely professional and well presented and I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a band. They helped us to create an unforgettable and perfect day.

Mr and Mrs Burke
Marriott, Edinburgh

Pacific have played here at Auchen Castle on a number of different occasions and each and every time the dance floor is packed and jumping with guests! From a Hotelier's point of view, not only is it vital that the entertainment is absolutely fantastic, but also they need to be flexible and supportive to the Hotel Staff and work with us to ensure everything runs smoothly on the night for all involved. Pacific are always very cooperative in changing timings, etc if need be and they are certainly a band we are happy to recommend to our future clients.

Heather Tait
Manager - Auchen Castle

Amazing, very professional. You made our day very special. Your choice of sets, music arrangement etc. was brilliant.

Mr and Mrs Breaden
Birnam House Hotel

Extensive set list of pop, jazz and swing. Perfect for an audience where age groups are mixed (e.g. weddings).Flexible and accommodating not formulaic as many bands are (instrumental, pop, swing, jazz and ceilidh music all performed in one evening). Willing to fit in rather than be fit around, very polite and pleasant and excellent value. Above all, a talented group of musicians and singer.

Mr and Mrs Bell
Oran Mor

An outstanding performance, my guests are still commenting on how great Pacific were - 4 weeks later! They were highly professional and simply a pleasure to deal with prior to our wedding. All musical tastes were catered for and they even learnt a new song, just for us - nothing was too much trouble. We would highly recommend Pacific and would certainly deal with them again in the future.

You provide a first class service, very smartly presented (all our old relatives (and my friends!) where most impressed!) and highly professional. Thank you for everything, especially Sonja for the friendly and prompt replies to my abundance of emails! It was a pleasure to deal with you all, especially in the stressful run up to the wedding - it was comforting to know we could rely on you. A fantastic end to a wonderful day - thank you for making our day all the more special.

Mr and Mrs Piper
Huntingtower Hotel

Kirsten and myself could not be happier with the way things went for our Big Day and you and the rest of Pacific certainly played your part in the evening to the fullest, absolutely fantastic. It was great to see everyone up and enjoying themselves and we shall treasure the days memories.

Mr and Mrs Thow
Murrayshall House Hotel

Just to say a big thank you to you and the rest of the band for the fantastic music and entertainment you provided at our wedding at Boturich Castle 7th June. Our guests and us thought you were amazing, we didn't want you to leave! I would also like to say that it has been great to be able to contact you in the months leading up to the wedding, you have always responded to emails immediateley and we are thankful of this. We will be recommending you to all! Thanks again for making our day extra special, we couldnt have asked for a better band.
