"We have just returned from our Honeymoon and we wanted to say a MASSIVE thank you for playing at our wedding at Linden Hall recently. The music was amazing and thoroughly enjoyed by all. I loved dancing the night away. The singing was out of this world and it was interesting to see how some people said how Andrea looked and sounded like Dolly Parton, without even knowing that she plays Dolly in a theatre show!
We really did have a fantastic day and evening and you helped to make it so special. We would highly recommend you to friends in the future whatever the event. Thank you so much once again."
Craig and Rachel
25th August 2011
"We chose Laughing Jacks to play at our wedding at Crathorne Hall and they absolutely blew us away! Not only are each and every one of them gifted as a musician but the vocals were stunning, a special thank you to Andrea, she has a sublime voice. Richard sent me a demo CD a year and a half before the wedding, upon listening to that we knew we had made the right decision, but nothing prepared us for just how brilliant they were on the night. We didn't have a big wedding but the dance floor was always full and the band made it so enjoyable, they played something for everybody and I don't think I came off the dance floor once, I had the blisters on my feet to prove it.
I have to say a special thank you for the amazing tribute to myself and Steve, when John sang "With our Without You" at the end of the night, as a surprise for Steve - it was fantastic you could provide such a wonderful moment for us, it was one the highlights of the whole day. All our family and friends thought you were great and you made the day complete. Thank you so much - it was a pleasure dealing with you and the band."
Claire and Steve
15th August 2011

Danielle and Andy
1st August 2011
"I would just like to express my thanks to yourself and your fellow band members for performing at my wedding recently at Crathorne Hall. The evening was fantastic and everyone has commented on what a fab time they had! The music choices were perfect and I hardly saw anyone sitting down. I was thrilled to hear that the band had been asked to play their last set early, as people were wanting to dance again!!
Once again thank you so much for an exceptional evening and please pass on my thanks to everyone who was involved."

"Donna and I wanted to pass on our sincere thanks for making our wedding evening at Lumley Castle last Saturday a very special and memorable one. We ran slightly late on the reception, but the band made no fuss or quibble and just got on with setting up and in no time were playing the songs we'd picked to a really high standard. Through all the sets the music was fantastic and even at the end, the band were still playing with plenty of energy
Nothing was too much trouble for Andrea and the band and all guests have made a point of mentioning the band, saying it made it a fantastic day and night magical. The next time I'm arranging any celebration there's only one band I'll be contacting!!"

24th January 2011
"Thank you for a tremendous night on Saturday. From the moment I first saw the "Laughing Jacks" website right through to the last note played at Carol's 50th birthday party, I experienced nothing but total professionalism from the band. The booking process was made easy by the swift dispatch of quality CD demos and a contract with extremely straightforward terms. The ability to have input into set lists was an added bonus as we got a lot of our preferred music on the evening. Musically it is impossible to fault the band. Andrea and John's vocals were superb and the professional musicianship of the band is a joy. On a personal note, thank you for making my life easier in relation to organising the entertainment side of the event. Keep up the great work. Please pass on my regards to Andrea, John, Graham and Paul - all great people! We will try to get to see the Dolly Band and John's band soon."

They have a male and female singer and do allsorts from modern songs like 'Valerie' right through to country, Motown, swing and jazz. They have a sax player who is amazing.

The music during the ceremony was out of this world. It was so emotional and made everyone cry. Everyone loved the singing during the meal and lots of our guests could not get over how brilliant Andrea's voice was.
When the band started playing on the night I was in awe and could not believe how good you all were. Loads of my guests kept stopping me and asking where I had found you so I gave them all of your details, one of our guests has booked you for their wedding next year! The song you learnt for our first dance was absolutely amazing and I can't thank you enough for making my day so special, it was everything I had dreamed of and more because of the music.
People are still asking me and phoning me for your details a month after the wedding. I don't think I spoke to any of my guests as the dance floor was packed all night! I know Andrea is launching an album soon, please can you let me know when this will be as I want to buy it and support you all as I think you are all amazing musicians. I'm happy to tell everyone how great you all are from the business side to the performance."

We have so many happy memories of your wonderful performance and of us dancing the night away. Andrea did Michael Buble proud singing "Everything" for our first dance.
Overall your communication and service was brilliant from the start to the end. All our guests said how brilliant you were and we'll never forget the grand finale of "I've had the time of my life" which says it all. Hope to see you perform again very soon. If you're reading the testimonials looking for a wedding band, these guys are BRILLIANT!!"

We really couldn't have asked for more from our band.
They were also the most professional and hassle-free people to deal with. Their communications and general efficiency was really confidence-inspiring. Both singers were fantastic, and they really knew how to work the crowd. Everyone commented on the band, and they really gave our wedding that extra something.

Andrea has an outstanding voice and style - most guests even thought a CD was playing until they saw her. She was a real treat. I would also like to thank your DJ Mike for his work over the evening. It was a real pleasure having such a professional and approachable person to entertain our guests. He played nearly every song I requested in advance and so our playlist was truly unique.

"STAC first discovered Laughing Jacks 5 years ago at a meeting we held in Durham and we were so impressed with the band's repertoire, flexibility and high quality that we have been using them at similar events all over the UK from Stirling to Bournemouth. They always maintain the same high standard whether it is the full band or the duo which is performing. Many of our clients and delegates have remarked on how much they have enjoyed the band's performances and at least one delegate booked them for her wedding as a result. Of particular note is the fine quality and range of Andrea Pattison's voice whether she is singing ballads, pop or R'n'B. A very fine band which we will continue to use into the future".

We were the first couple of all our friends (who had got married recently) to have a band at our wedding and did not know if we had made the right decision. But it was one of the best decisions we made when planning our big day, from the moment the band came on, we had people dancing on the dance floor and this continued until the end of the evening.”

The band were also very approachable, and allowed us to make requests for particular songs. All in all we'd definitely book them again if we remarried and would strongly recommend them to anyone."

“Thanks for your excellent contribution to my daughter's wedding day on 22nd May 2004. Following a perfect wedding ceremony & reception Laughing Jacks certainly captured the "lets all party" atmosphere in the evening at the Marriott Gosforth Park Hotel. You are indeed a superb band that I shall recommend to everyone."

“Laughing Jacks played for the evening part of my daughter's wedding. We were impressed by their punctuality and flexibility as our wedding did not run to time. Their range of music was very wide and they were able to play anything asked of them. Everyone was very impressed by the high standard of the music they played, and there were some musicians at the wedding who could have been critical. The lead singer was excellent as were the other musicians. Not having heard Laughing Jacks live I was rather anxious before the event, but they created just the right atmosphere for everyone to enjoy themselves, either listening or dancing to the music. I have no hesitation in recommending them for a similar function."

“Everyone at our wedding from the youngest to the oldest thought that Laughing Jacks were absolutely brilliant. The band were extremely professional, arriving with lots of time to set up unobtrusively, and were courteous and charming throughout the evening. We received lots of very helpful advice from them before the big day and their two fantastic sets had everybody on the dance floor until the end of the evening. The standard of musicianship was outstanding and the songs were played with real flair and enthusiasm. Laughing Jacks simply made our day."
