The Get Downs played at our wedding and they sounded fantastic and got the party going. The communication beforehand was excellent and they even modified our first dance song so it was shorter.
The Get Downs far exceeded all expectations, the music was absolutely brilliant. We had all ages on the dance floor from those in their 20s to 85! We were dancing all night long and there were a few sore feet next day! I would not hesitate to book them again and could thoroughly recommend them for any special celebration.
It was a great way to finish our event as the headline act, with lots of positive feedback.
