    Hi Guys, Sorry it’s taken so long but just wanted to send a message to say thanks for performing at our wedding on the 13th of May at Glenskirlie We were blown away with how well everything went, we felt the dance floor was never empty and everyone kept complementing how good the band was. Not that I think you’ll need it but if there’s anywhere we can leave a review let us know. Thanks Cameron and Rachel

    Just had to post up to say what a fantastic night we had on Saturday! Absolutely out of this world and people are still asking me about 'the band'!! I simply can't recommend highly enough to anyone who is looking for a wedding band. Rona and I are so proud to say we had you play our special day. Thank you Grant McGillivray

    'Thank you so much... you made our wedding night run so smoothly. The volume was spot on, not too loud which made you music all that more enjoyable. I think it is testimony from how busy our dance floor was from start to finish that The Riffreshers are an incredible band, whom we will always remember as part of our special day and recommend to anyone in a heart beat!
