Viva Vintage - Vintage Violin, Guitar & Vocal Duo Feedback
<p>"Thank you so much, Viva Vintage for providing such wonderful music at my Birthday party on Friday at Albion House Hotel. You really made the event so very enjoyable for everyone - some friends got up to dance who I’ve never seen dance before - and your music was chosen and pitched perfectly. We all loved it. I can’t wait to hear you again. Thanks again." <em>- Carolyn</em></p> <p>"Hi Viva Vintage,</p> <p>I just wanted to thank you for the music at The Yarrow on Saturday night. All my friends and family complemented me on the music which was enjoyed by all. One of the things that people appreciated was that whilst we were dining the music did not get in the way of the conversation and was not obtrusive, yet when eventually we got people to the dance floor the music was louder and more lively! It’s always difficult to get everyone on the dance floor but I think we got most of them there at one time or another!"<br /><br />"Dear Viva Vintage. You were amazing! Truly fantasticand we wanted to thankyou for just 'Making the party'. We loved your playing together upstairs as a duo and then later with the band. The repertoire was perfect. We had such a great time, we just wish we could do it all again but this time in slow motion. It felt very special having you there and we couldn’t have asked for more, so thank you." <em>- Janet, David & Freddy.</em></p> <p><br />"Dear Viva Vintage,<br />Thank you so much for providing us with such delightful music at the wedding reception of our daughter Alice and her husband, Ben, at Winchelsea on Saturday 14th September. Your afternoon performance was just what we wanted as a background to the wedding breakfast and your choice of music was spot on. We were also very pleased with the evening band that you provided, they certainly got everyone dancing and made the evening reception a great success. Please pass on our thanks to them. Once again, many thanks, and we will certainly recommend you to our friends. Best wishes," <em>- Rosalyn</em></p> <p><br />"Thank you both so much for providing the wonderful music enjoyed by all in attendance at our wedding. You helped to make our marriage ceremony perfect. Thank you so much. Regards," <em>- Betty and David.</em></p> <p><br />"We just want to say thank you to you both for providing the beautiful music for our wedding.
