    "WOW!! What an amazing night! Mayhem were way beyond our wildest dreams! Thank goodness the other band we tried were busy.

    You brought our barn to life with your fantastic lighting and gave us 3 truly memorable sets of music that appealed to everyone aged 8 upwards! So many of our guests wrote to us to say how brilliant you were.

    The whole experience from the first phone call to the pack up at the end of the night was easy. You left us nothing to think about and we were very grateful for that.
    The only bad comment I have is that you finished too early......we could have danced all night!!!

    I would highly recommend you and am now saving for a repeat performance in about 10 years time.

    Thank you, you were ALL brilliant."

    "Mayhem were absolutely amazing - an enormous thank to them. Both Charlie and I were absolutely thrilled by how good they were. They created such an amazing atmosphere and the dance floor was filled from start to finish with people aged 18 - 80. Also thank you to you for being so helpful with answering all my questions in the run up and making all the admin side so easy and hassle free. I will most definitely be recommending them to numerous friends who will be getting married over the next few years (how far do they travel?). In terms of a few words of recommendation here are a few comments from some of the guest’s thank you
    letters and:

    From my parent’s generation: hard not to bop all night with such a mega band who mixed
    the old and new to keep all ages strutting their stuff with gay abandon. Seriously tiring legs
    on Sunday.

    From my generation: the band were fantastic and even coaxed my husband on to the dance
    floor - a rare event!” (extremely true)

    I have to say the band was one of the best I have ever danced to”
