"Thank you both again for your beautiful performance at our Wedding Reception on New Years Eve. We have had lots of positive feedback from family and friends about our choice of entertainment and your great voice! We loved the way your music blended into the background and wasn't intrusive in any way into our Wedding Breakfast. It set a lovely atmosphere and was just what we were hoping for. Wishing you all the best in 2010"

 Michelle Cox, Married on New Years Eve 2009

Dear Charlie and Will, We just wanted to send you a quick note to say thanks for playing such a great set at our wedding on 30 December. We only wish we could have sat down and simply listened to the whole set rather than having to be sociable with the guests! Many people commented on how great you both were, and wanted to know how we had found you. Your sound and the mood you evoked fitted perfectly with the day, which felt exactly like the relaxed house party-style affair we had dreamed of. Thanks again – and we hope to see you perform somewhere soon (will check you out on Facebook!)

Fran & Ric Long, Married in December 2009

We would both like to thank-you for doing such an amazing job on our big day, you really set up a fabulous atmosphere for the afternoon drinks and evening reception, absolutely everyone commented on how wonderful you were. Your version of our first dance song went down a storm and people still go on about it now. Many thanks again and best of luck for 2010

"You probably here it all the time from all of your customers but we are massively grateful to you both for putting on such a memorable performance during the night of our wedding day. Your whole performance made such a great impression on everyone there, especially when you started taking requests near the end of the set. A particular thank you for learning and playing 'Slide Away'. It sounded amazing, it really did. You were a lovely couple to have for our relaxed type of wedding and we thank you for adding to the great day we had. Although I was sick of people asking me by the end of the night, 'where did you find these two?'. Our guests loved you." Craig & Becky Maitland, married August 2009

"Charlie & Will, We can’t thank you enough for your beautiful music throughout our wedding day. We are so pleased that we asked you to perform at our Ceremony “The first time ever I saw your face” was gorgeous, there wasn’t a dry eye in the house! The music was so much more “us” than something classical, and just perfect for the barn. We wanted our day to be relaxed and natural and Mango made such a massive contribution to that. We have had so many compliments about you both and how much people enjoyed your music. You created a chilled out relaxed atmosphere and we loved the fact that we could hear you performing loads of our favorite songs whilst we “entertained”! Once again, thank you so much for sharing our day with us, and we hope you weren’t to exhausted after playing your entire set list! Love & best wishes"

"Dear Charlie and Will, I want to take this opportunity to thank you both for the huge part you played in making George and Georgina's marriage service so magical. Everyone has got back to us commenting particularly on this part of the day and I am sorry that I was only present for such a short part of your performance. The friends waiting outside the church during the proceedings said that they had tingles up their spine when you sang Hallelujah. The whole day was simply perfect and even though I am probably biased, it was by far the best wedding I have ever been to.I will certainly be keeping your names on top of my favourites list and if ever a suitable occasion arises in the future, I will be in touch again to ask you back. With all best wishes for lots of success" 

Louise Marks. Georgina and Georges Wedding, July 2009

"Hi Charlie and Will - You were magical, and just perfect for the atmosphere. It meant so much to me to walk down the aisle to "Elusive" so thank you so much for learning it for me. I also loved walking back down the aisle to "I want you back" Everyone has commented on how fab you were and I think the fact that people were dancing at the champagne reception is testimony to that. I really hope to be able to use you guys again for another celebration!" 

Clare and Ollie Foxell, Married at Tithe Barn, 2009

"Hi Guys, It was so lovely having you play at our wedding, you added a lovely vibe to the proceedings which helped make us feel that we were relaxing in our house for the day rather than somewhere we’d hired for the day!

Again a massive thank you and we will be recommending you to everyone we know!!!!" Beccy and Gareth, married at Fulham Palace, London, 10th July 2009
