From booking all the way through to the party, Sounds with Us were fantastic. They really took time to find out how we wanted the day to run and everything ran so smoothly on the day, just as they had planned. My guests and I had a super time! Such a lot of fun was had by all. Thank you so much!

We hired this band ‘Sound With Us’ for our Company Summer Party 2 weeks ago, The weather had been horrendous that morning right up until they arrived! Not only did they bring the sunshine with them, they also brought the PARTY! They are so good! They had people up line dancing and joining in, everyone had so much fun. Remko and Lilac make such a good team, and the other band members support them well too. We would definitely not only recommend them, but we would also book them again ourselves. 10 out of 10 for you guys.

Lilac and the band were more than we could have asked for. We hired ‘Barn with us’ for a corporate summer party and they were great! Amazing talent, got lots of people up line dancing and they were so easy to communicate with prior to the event too. Will defintiely be using again.

If I could give Sound with Us 6 stars, I would!! They were truly incredible and made our wedding very special! The way they interacted with the crowd and moved around the dance floor was unique – the dance floor was full all night! They were delightful to work with in the buildup and everything from booking to the end of the night went so smoothly. We also booked a DJ through them and the transition on the night from band to DJ was seamless. I would highly highly recommend them to anyone wanting an epic band on their wedding day! Thank you Lilac, Rem and the band!!
