"We had The Butterflies for our wedding in Sicily and they were absolutely amazing! They contacted me before the wedding to make sure they understood what type of music I wanted playing and on the day they were just so perfect. They even learnt new songs to play. I wanted a mixture of English and traditional Sicilian music and they delivered including learning a John Legend song I wanted for my first dance. The band and the singer were brilliant and clearly very skilled and talented at what they do. They provided music throughout the day including the reception, the first dance, the dance with the parents and thereafter. They were so good and had everyone dancing! Amongst this they were all so kind, warm and friendly and I couldn't believe how much they went above and beyond their responsibilities as the band for the wedding helping with other things that I needed such as a violinist, DJ and even the flowers and celebrant. It's clear that they love weddings and a beautiful touch was the fact they seemed to really want to be a part of it. They spent time watching the ceremony and after the wedding I received some really lovely photos and footage they had taken of the wedding. I couldn't thank them enough for making my wedding so wonderful! Thank you The Butterflies, you were so so amazing!"

Verified booking on FixTheMusic"Just perfect, highly recommended. I have to say I couldn't have asked for anything better. They accepted all my requests, and I am more than satisfied. Everything was perfect, both in terms of communication with the manager (we are delighted to have met such helpful and exquisite people), and the guys in the band, who still receive compliments from my guests. A fairytale day crowned by excellent music, shared with friends and relatives. A heartfelt thanks to everyone."
