an unforgettable wedding reception choose Cafe
Royale |

Hi Dave,
Just wanted to drop you a wee note to thank you and the other members of the band for the
fantastic entertainment on Saturday at Gemma and John's wedding. Cafe Royale were truly
brilliant as usual and everyone has commented on how good the band was. You will have
noticed the dancefloor was never empty.
Dave can I also thank you personally for entertaining us during dinner with the
accordion. The lovely sound of the "Parisian cafe music" during dinner was just perfect in helping to
create the ambience and atmosphere in the room that we were hoping for.
As you know I always recommend Cafe Royale however, I feel I have even more reason to
endorse my recommendation in future.
Thank you so much and please pass on our thanks and good wishes to the rest of the band.
See you soon,
Aileen...

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 - Back

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,

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
