We love wedding fairs and events - they're a great way to get out and meet people. From the point of view of brides, grooms and their families, they make life so easy! You get to see everything you need under one roof.
As a wedding band, we're very pleased to see that marriages are on the up!
The number of weddings in Britain had been falling steadily since 1972 (when there were 400,000 wedding a year!), according to the Office of National Statistics (ONS), but that suddenly increased in 2010 and has been steadily climbing since then. The most recent figures available show there were over 262,000 weddings in the UK in 2012. That's an awful lot of wedding entertainment needed!
It's not really so many years since weddings were in churches or registry offices. Then came the introduction of ceremonies in a wide array of weird and wonderful settings (there are lots of fabulous venues we love to play in and around Leicestershire). But things just keep moving on. Did you know it's now possible to get married in a teepee?
There are so many considerations when planning a wedding - the date, the venue, the entertainment, the cake, the car, the flowers... There are so many things to think about it's remarkable that pretty much every wedding day is a success in the end.
If you're looking at our website, we're willing to bet a couple of things about you - a) you're planning a wedding and b) you're tempted to book Adam Thomas & The Souljers for your big day.
You've probably had a look around the site and we hope you like what you see. We've told you about our sets and shows. You can see photos of us in action. But are we telling the truth?
Of course we are! Don't believe us? Well don't just take our word for it!
Survey
We did a survey last year of 56 of our happy couples, so we can be absolutely sure that the service we're providing is the service our customers want. And we're pleased to say the results show that it is!
We wondered what it was that made our customers book us in the first place. The music was a BIG factor - with 85% saying it was of vital importance to their decision. We're pleased that the quality of our work went hand-in-hand with the music, with 45 couples saying it was a big factor for them. We like to think we're friendly people - and a massive 75% of our customers confirmed that our friendliness was absolutely a factor in them deciding to book with us.
Performance
We asked couples how pleased they were with everything from set-up, through both our sets, to our stage show and our disco. Just over two-thirds said our first set was beyond expectations, with 16 out of 55 describing it as spot-on. Our second set, full of soul and pop, was even more popular with a massive 43 out of 55 describing it as beyond expectations and the remainder saying it was spot-on. Even better, when you put the whole performance together, 48 out of 55 (or 87%!) said it exceeded their expectations! Overwhelmingly, our guests loved our interaction with the audience and two-thirds said our disco went beyond their expectations.
If you're convinced by these results and you'd like to talk us about entertainment for your big day, please give us a call on 0116 2790 146. We're really friendly (and we know that for a fact, because our customers told us so!).
