“I was dubious about booking a band but my partner, having seen good party bands in the past, persuaded me it would be good and for that I’m glad! Russell & Sons catered perfectly for the party atmosphere and had myself and my guests quite literally dancing on the tabletops! Their demeanour was professional, friendly and fun. I have little musical experience but I know a good band when I hear one, and Russell & Sons were just that. I would highly recommend them the world over. Absolutely unforgettable. Thank you.”

Julie, Wedding in Devon, September 2024

“Just a quick note to say that Russell & Sons were excellent on Saturday. They played just the right style of music for our wedding and people have still been saying how much they enjoyed their music. It was brilliant so thanks for your help.”

Sharon & Ash, Wedding, Exmouth, July 2024

“We booked Russell & Sons for our wedding and absolutely loved them. We had so many comments on how good the band were and everyone literally danced all night. 10/10”

Danielle, Wedding, Devon, September 2023

“We saw Russell & Sons play locally and both knew we had found the band we wanted at our wedding so we were delighted when they were free. I think they were even better at our wedding than when we first saw them! Really good music, lots of energy and fun!”

Oscar & Rose, Wedding, Sidmouth, June 2023

“I wanted to take the opportunity to thank Russell & Sons for playing at our wedding. The mix of music was fantastic and it was great to see everyone up dancing all night. We had so many nice comments on the evening saying where did you get the band from they are great. So we have lots of recommendations for you. Both Chris and I had an amazing day. Thank you so much Russell & Sons – hopefully you’ll be around in 10 years for my 40th!”
