Wow, Wow, Wow....
Wow, wow, wow… The Ambassador Band are just simply AMAZING! In March we held our 4th Drakes Diamond Gala in aid of St Luke’s Hospice Plymouth and each time we’ve had Geoff and the team getting everyone on their feet dancing the night away; they certainly know how to get the party going! This year we had a special carnival theme to celebrate our 70th anniversary and Geoff worked closely with us to make sure that the music suited the theme and our audience down to a tee. THANK YOU so much Ambassador for really making our event; our Diamond Gala’s would not be the same without you!

You NEED to hire the Ambassador Band
If you are looking to have an incredible time at your party/function, then you NEED to hire the Ambassador Band. Geoff was a dream to work with in the run up to our Studio 54 inspired Christmas event, personalising the set list to match the theme of the evening perfectly. The band turned up ahead of schedule and were incredibly professional. The comments from all the guests were unbelievable, we have never had so many people ask how they can get hold of one of our 'suppliers'. During the 2 sets, the singers came out into the crowd and got us super involved in the show - never have I seen so many of our team participate in a sing along or a conga line! And the voices on the singers, WOW! HUGE thanks to the band for making our event the best ever!

Completely overwhelmed with your performance
Firstly, We would like to send Geoff and the band our absolute love and sincere gratitude. We were completely overwhelmed with your performance at our wedding, every guest was in ore of you all. The feedback was unreal, you kept the dance floor rocking all night. You all looked fantastic too. Geoff, over the past 9 months you have been one of our easiest persons to deal with. You had made everything so easy for us, at such a stressful time. We were able to put all of our confidence and trust into you and the band. We wanted to give you free reign to show off your talents and you all absolutely blew us away. You worked with our DJ and sorted everything out so smoothly. The sound was incredible and for such a big room it all came together so well. I remember all of your smiles, the love and joy you brought to our wedding was priceless and we will never forget that. Thank you all so much our love Lynsey & Yianni, Greek Wedding at The Hilton Park Lane, London – 9th November 2019

Professional, entertaining and utterly impressive
The Ambassador Band are without doubt one of the most professional, entertaining and utterly impressive bands we've ever booked. Attentive to our needs from first contact to finish and absolutely nailed the set - including putting up with some of our challenging requirements! So many of our event attendees mentioned the band specifically and how they made such a difference to the evening. Perfect for our particular event (a corporate gig) and will definitely look to book them again in future. Thanks to all of the performers and crew - much appreciated!

An absolute pleasure to work with
What I wanted to say was the most colossal, enourmous, heartfelt THANK YOU - in behalf of Rik and I, but also every single one of our guests - for an utterly PHENOMENAL show on the day. It was quite simply flawless.Let me start with the gorgeous 'sunset sax' set, which we weren't sure was even possible to do, but which you did a fantastic job of, not only making Rikin's day , but making our guest's experience so much better too - it truly elevated the whole canapes reception part of the day into something super glamorous and high energy, and got people super excited for the evening. it was magical, and I'd recommend to anyone booking you guys (which should be everyone) that they consider treating themselves to some special music during this part of the day - we had tons of great comments on it, and I remember it as a total highlight. Keeping on the theme of 'making Rikin's day', you very neatly managed to integrate the playing of the Chelsea FC stadium entry song as we walked into the marquee... a rather comedic moment but no mean feat to coordinate (given it's a niche song that was on our friend's phone!), and something Rik will boast about until his dying day. And then to the first dance - not a part of the day Rik or myself were fully looking forward to, not having practiced anything, and em being very nervous and embarrassed, but knowing the guys were learning the song we'd chosen (an old Motown classic) specially, and having a band that could do it such fantastic justice (in particular, having such a fantastic male and female vocalist team to nail the duet), made it not just bearable, but actually really enjoyable - and again, you had our guests in the palm of your hands, we had loads of complements on the song choice, and people couldn't wait to join us up there. And that brings me to... The party itself: UNBELIEVABLE. Someone said to me afterwards that they'd never been to a wedding before where the transformation from people sat round tables stuffed full of food, to a fully packed dance floor going at full tilt, was so a. fast and b. all-encompassing. It was like a switch was flipped and suddenly it was a carnival. we were actually nervous that, having stuffed people full of rich Indian food, we might struggle to get the party going... you guys made a mockery of that worry. The ENERGY of the ENTIRE band was utterly infectious, and combine that with the unreal you guys have, the talent and skill in the band, the fantastic song choices, even the costumes were AWESOME, you just made every one of our (320, old and young, multi-cultural) guests want to join you and party at full speed. The combination of sets was exactly as I had dreamed of: an early set of motown, funk, and soul classics that got EVERYONE dancing; a more pop and cheese -driven DJ set that kept them there; a second set where you gave some huge floor-filling pop songs AND my beloved UK garage a big band makeover; and a late-night DJ set where you managed to combine UK club / chart hits, with some bangra bangers, a super fun indie disco fix, AND even finish on my dad's favourite Killers song, to get us all in a big, happy, drunk circle. Both my parents told me how thrilled they were with the music - my mum is a big music head and she was totally blown away. Rik and I were both on cloud 9 (or more like cloud 900) for the whole night - I don't think I've ever danced so much / so happily / with so much energy in my whole life (and believe me, there is a substantial back catalogue of me dancing to compete with). Rikin didn't get a single picture in the photobooth all night, because the music was too good to leave the dance floor. I was supposed to change dresses - but I just couldn't bear to leave. it was too good. We have had DOZENS of people make a point of telling us how much they enjoyed it - lots of people said that you guys were hands down the best wedding band they've ever seen. I'd be AMAZED if we don't get people asking us to pass your details on when the time comes for them. Some further shout outs: - to yourself, Geoff, for being an absolute pleasure to work with; efficient, responsive, enthusiastic - and utterly patient with all my endless song requests and attempts to micromanage!!! as I understand it Rik had an equally seamless experience with everyone he dealt with, including things like getting the al fresco sax performance arranged - you couldn't have made things easier for us - to the hilarious red-haired male vocalist form the band; i didn't catch his name but i think he needs a special shout out for the hilarious energy and showmanship he brought to the party; from the stage dives, to the various forays into the crowd and center-of-the-dance floor serenades (I remember dancing with him in the middle of a big circle of people at one point...). - to the entire band (es.p female vocalist) for leading us through the 'Candy' dance... an absolute dream come true for me and my sister - to the DJ for playing all the random songs I made him fit in, and making it seamless; the moment where 'Body', my fave dance song of the last few years and a huge fave from the hen do came on, and I was with all my bridesmaids on the stage, was like a life highlight I could go on for weeks to be honest, and I only hope you have the editing skills to cut this down into something you can use wherever you need it (let me know if you need a specific format / x number of words, happy to re-write something more manageable!). But in short: aside from actually 'getting married', the party and the music, and everyone loving both, was pretty much the only thing I truly cared about on the day... and you honestly just made it beyond anything I could have wished for (and as my 8 page word doc of song suggestions probably hinted at, I was wishing for a lot!!). I know Rik feels the same, and both our families, and all our friends. We promised people the party of the year... and thanks to you lot, I think we gave them the party of the decade. So thank you, from the bottom of our hearts! With lots of love, from 2 very happy customers!! Lucia and Rikin, Wedding at Heythrop Park, Oxfordshire – 31st August 2019

Vocals were mind blowing!
We used the Ambassador's 16 piece band for our wedding and honestly, they were above and beyond all expectations!!! Right from the start Geoff (band manager) made sure we were happy with everything. When the actual day came they created our dream party atmosphere, the band as a whole had so much energy and really made everyone want to dance - our dance floor was packed for the whole evening! The musicians were incredible and so in sync and the vocals were mind blowing and just out of this world! We couldn't have chosen a better band if we tried! If you're all about the music you don't need to look any further than the Ambassador's! Thank you for making our wedding so perfect - we love you!
