“Get Carter were amazing. Even outside in October they had our visitors dancing and singing along. Fun!”

Wendy, Private Event, Cambridge University Botanic Garden, October 2024

“The band were incredible at my wedding this weekend! They sounded amazing and were so professional and friendly and they kept in contact throughout! On the day they created a fantastic atmosphere, and all of my guests loved them! Honestly, cannot recommend them enough!”

Hannah, Wedding, Lillibrooke Manor, Maidenhead, October 2024

“Great band, had everyone dancing all night and sounded good. Great service from Function Central - quick to respond and easy to deal with.”

Nickie, Wedding, The Woodyard at Worstead Estate, North Walsham, August 2024

“Get Carter were truly fantastic, a real highlight for me was talking to them whilst they were setting up and you could tell that they were really flexible on the timings and knew how to do things to make the most of them. We had set 3x40 mins slots, but instead, they did a shorter first set (whilst the weather was good and people were outside) and then extended a later session for when people were on the dance floor. When it came to playing, they were also fantastic, the fact that I have a video of my father-in-law and Nan-in-law (who is 93) dancing is credit to them, I have never seen either dance before! They really did rock and we had a number of compliments about them from guests since Saturday.”

Jason, Wedding, Preston Court, Canterbury, September 2024

“Agency was very easy to use and simple to understand the process. The band had excellent communication before the wedding and on the day arrived and set up without issue. Their act was amazing and we had a great night.”

Lauren, Wedding, Upwaltham Barn, Chichester, West Sussex, August 2024
