“If we could give more than 5 stars we would! The Headliners played at our wedding at Little Channels. Phil and the team did a cracking job. They were so professional, they sounded amazing and were just generally really lovely guys. It was a small wedding but they got all generations up on the dancefloor and even my new hubby (who I have never seen dance!) came up for a boogie! They listened perfectly to our very fussy musical preferences and played our first dance beautifully.” (Wedding, Essex)
