Hi Martin Williams and Band,

We would like to say a huge thanks to you for playing at our wedding on 3rd August 2012 in Ballygarry House Hotel. Martin, from the beginning you were a pleasure to deal with. You are friendly, professional and know exactly what you're talking about and this made our decision so easy when we were choosing our wedding band. The range of music on the night was excellent and what a good idea to ask the guests for a show of hands on their choice of music after the first dance. We got so many compliments from our guests as you played something for everyone! The floor was never empty and we had a ball from start to finish…we had everything from 'Siege of Ennis' to 'Joe Dolan' to 'Kings of Leon' and some old time waltz We all really enjoyed the disco too and not only that but you are so competitively priced compared to so many other bands we looked at.
I would definately recommend your band to anyone searching for a great band, be it for a wedding or otherwise. Thank you again for an amazing evening of entertainment! We wish you all the best for the future and thank you for the fond memories

Best Wishes,
Ciara and David McCarthy

 

"Hi Martin & Nostalgia Band Just a quick note to say Thank You. From the moment that the booking was made until the night was over we could not be happier. You made the night so special and enjoyable for everyone including us. People were on the floor boogying and dancing the night away from the minute you guys began playing! It was a fantastic, unbelievable, special and memorable night had by all and it was due to your band feeling the atmosphere in the room and the style of music that everyone enjoyed and adjusting the set to suit everyone's tastes. It was great to hear you play everything from old time greats to the new up to date modern music. You continued to ask us throughout the night if there was any changes we would like to make or any certain music we would like to hear. This showed not only your commitment to playing a great set but your passion to ensuring that we the Bride and Groom were also happy! Everyone who attended the wedding have said how fantastic the band was and that it really made the night. A testimony to this is that not only was the room still full when the Disco finished (which you also provided) but there have been several inquiries for your details by family members wanting to have you play at their own upcoming weddings. To which of course we provided your details with 100% recommendations!! We cannot thank you enough and would recommend your service to anyone planning their wedding or special occasion."

"Thanks to Martin Williams & Nostalgia Band who played at our wedding in May 2010. They were absolutely fantastic. We had heard them playing at my cousins wedding a couple of years ago and we knew straight away when we got engaged they were the band we wanted for our wedding. They played a great range of music and there was something for everyone. They really got the party going and got everyone up dancing. The dance floor packed for the whole night. They created a great atmosphere and everyone thought they were brilliant. We would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a great band for their wedding or party. My sister has booked them for her wedding next year she enjoyed them so much. Thanks again."

"It might be 3 years later but I want to take some time to thank ye again for making our Wedding Night in the Dingle Skellig Hotel. One of the main things that I can remember from our wedding night is that the dance floor was packed all night long thanks to a great show from Nostalgia . There was young and old danced the whole night through and the transition from the band to the DJ was seamless. We still have friends asking us who played and laughing at the great craic we had on the night, Having been involved as a wedding manager in hotels throughout Kerry I had seen my fair share of wedding bands and tribute acts. So when the time came for me to get married and be at the other end of the wedding banquet, choosing a wedding band was a very simple task. This is because of the level of professionalism, courtesy and energy that you have shown me and anybody else that you have dealt with. It is true that for any social event the music is a fundamental part and I would not hesitate in recommending your band. Wishing you all the best in the future"

Martin went out of his way to tailor his set to suit us and our guests' taste in music. He was also very entertaining on themic and at the end of the night said some very kind words to make the night feel extra special."

"I had the pleasure of seeing these guys perform at a wedding in Tralee in December '08. They were absolutely brilliant. They had the dancefloor full all night and the atmosphere was great. They really interact well with the crowd."

"Wow – what can I say, They were fantastic!! We couldn’t have asked for a better band. I would recommend Martin`s band & disco to anyone. We had originally mentioned two songs as our choice for our first dance song. In the end we went with Bruce Springsteen. They played it brilliantly. Then just at the end of the night before the DJ finished the band got back up, got all the guests on the dancefloor in a circle around us and they played Michael Buble which was our 2nd choice song. We couldn’t believe it, that made our night!!"

"Thanks Martin to you and the band. We had a fantastic time. From the moment the music started, both Band & Disco, you really entertained both ourselves and our guests. Everyone is talking about how brilliant the music was and wanted to know if we could do it all again this weekend! Thanks again for being part of our special day at the Killarney Heights Hotel. Of course we will have no hestiation in recommending you to our friends for weddings, parties and of course christenings as well! All the best."

"Hi Martin. Thank you so so much for the fantastic day at the Killarney Heights Hotel, and the following day too; you were fantastic! I can't thank you enough for a fantastic job. I enjoyed it so so much and the stag t-shirt was priceless; the look on his face!! You made the day perfect so thank you so much. I will definitely be telling everyone about how you made a brilliant day perfect . And for the After Party/Birthday Party, all I can say it was priceless and the best few days ever. Thank you so much Martin and wish you all the very best."

"This band comes highly recommended! We booked Martin`s band and disco last year for our wedding at the Ballyroe Hotel, after hearing nothing but excellent reports about the service he provides. Upon going to review the band we thought they were a very country type band, but we were informed beforehand they play to suit the the guests. We booked him and at our wedding the band were totally different. They really read our guests and did a mixture of everything, Excellent!! A lively band and gave us a night we will never forget. We have since passed on his name to a few of our friends and all were so happy we did! Thanks guys for a wonderful night and I wish we could do it all again!!"
Patricia and Michael Murphy

"We have to say a big thank you to Martin and his Band Nostalgia. We really enjoyed their music; everyone did. I was a very nervous bride and I was worried just about anything, hoping our wedding would be a success, but thanks to Martin he made it so easy for us to enjoy our night and was so important on helping us to put our wedding night together. The band had the floor full all night long and are great to interact with the guests. The highlight for me was when they got my husband to do a version of Riverdance; he has two left feet but they got all the lads that went on the stag night to help him out. It was a pantomine and I have it all on DVD to watch anytime!!"
Lisa & Mark

Just wanted to say thanks for a great night on the 19th. We had a great night and lots of people have been commenting on how much they enjoyed the music. Everything went well we couldn't have asked for a better band. There were even some wedding crashers checking out the music!
A night to remember, thanks Martin and band.
