Mr. D. Cormack

Dear Davy,

Thank you for keeping in touch with us with regards myself and Kirstine's forthcoming wedding, at the Crutherland House Hotel, East Kilbride on the 13th March 2004.

Although we had heard Cafe Royale at Crutherland and were extremely impressed with the live band side of things, we were obviously keen to hear the ceilidh side before confirming our booking. I have to say that what we heard made us both certain that you were the band for us. In fact, I felt that it was far superior to the majority of ceilidh bands that we have listened to in our grand search for the perfect band!

I therefore enclose a deposit of            for the booking of your band for our wedding day. At present we expect to begin the evening reception at 8.15pm, although I appreciate (having performed at many weddings myself!) that this will probably be subject to change, therefore will keep you updated if we are aware of any changes before the 'Big day'

Thank you again for your reliable contact,

Yours,

Andrew Gibbs & Kirstine Hunter    -

Thank you


All the band

Thank you seems so little to say for the great time we had. We just wanted you all to know how much we appreciated you all on Sunday night. I can honestly say it was the best wedding I have ever been at (not because I am the mother of the bride) but you guys were exceptional. All week I had people talking about how great it was, and how good the band were. The whole family want you to know how much we enjoyed ourselves. It was all an unforgettable day, everything just went like a dream, and my lovely Claire just felt like a princess. We are all so grateful for the great service at Dalziel Park, the girls and staff at Chatelherault, the flowers, the beautiful cake, the wedding cars, the band. Everything to make John & Claire so happy.

Many Thanks,

William & Maria Threedle

Dear Davy (and the rest of Cafe Royale)

Pete and I just wanted to drop you and the rest of the guys a note of thanks for playing at our wedding at Melville Castle on 19th May. We thought you were absolutely amazing and all of our guests were asking how we had found such a fantastic band. Even the hotel events manager said he wanted your contact details.

At the end of the evening everyone was so hyped-up and in such a good mood we had trouble getting them all home. We would certainly recommend you to anyone looking for talent, professionalism and, above all, a really good party.

Kind regards,

Hazel & Peter Davies

July 2006

Hi Dave, 

You played at my wedding to Craig in The Cartland Bridge on the 19th of July this 
year. I wanted to drop you an email to say a massive thank you. We already knew 
you were fantastic but you still exceeded our expectations and we couldn't have 
been happier with the service you provided. 

Finding a band as good as yourselves that offers such wide range of music is just not possible. We were delighted you could play our choice of first and second dances. The dance floor was packed all night and the
ceilidh was a great hit with everyone - particularly our guests from England and overseas who are still talking about it now! 

The compilation you played at the end was a very special moment for us. Our families and our friends are all looking forward to you playing at my cousin's wedding next year. Once again, please accept my thanks for giving Craig and I such special memories of our wedding day and for ensuring we had a band that everyone talked about. 

Kind Regards,

Susan
