Reviews

WOW WOW WOW. We booked Higher & Higher for our wedding, after seeing them perform and loving the soul/Motown. Being musicians ourselves, I feel we had high expectations and wow we were not disappointed. The band were so professional, respectful and musically very tight. The singer’s voice was absolutely out of this world. Everyone was dancing along and absolutely loving the music. Everyone commented on how amazing the band were at our wedding, and I wish I could listen to it all again! Thank you so so much. X

Oh my goodness what can I say but fabulous fabulous fabulous!! The band had the best energy the best vocals the best everything! I had a small wedding and was worried that it might fizzle out towards the end. That so wasn’t the case because of the amazing band kept everyone up dancing the whole night including myself (the bride) with my 7kg wedding dress. I was beyond happy with the band. If I could give them 10 stars I would! Thank you guys 🥰 for marking our day spectacular.

Higher & Higher played at our wedding reception on Saturday and were simply amazing! Performing our first dance and some of our most favourite soul and Motown hits, they had all our guests up and dancing all night. We’ve had so many compliments already on how fantastic they were! Professional and such lovely people - we couldn’t have asked for a better band to help us celebrate our day! BIG thanks!
