Testimonials

  • We had the Controversial Allstars for our wedding band and we definitely made the right choice. I actually took a chance on booking the band without having seen them, just on their reputation alone! We did go along to hear them afterwards, just to decide on the playlist and we weren�t disappointed.
    Throughout the planning, Dave was brilliant � he even offered to help me with sourcing church music or if I needed any other help with other suppliers � way beyond the call of duty!
    Dave went through the setlist with me and offered to find any other particular songs we needed. We had Dave perform the DJ duties also, which saved us having to deal with one less supplier! (I believe they can offer church, pre-reception and afters sing-song also if you are looking for that too)
    On the night, the band had our guests on the floor all night, had great selection of music, lively & energetic and catered for everyone. We had great feedback from our guests.
    Super band � thank you!

  • I was bridesmaid for my sisters wedding on 11th of June. To help her organise her big day I told her I would choose the wedding band. I found The Controversial Allstars online and went along to see them in Bruxelles. We booked them that night, and they were absolutely amazing at the wedding. My sister went with their highest package which had them doing everything from the drinks reception, to the band after dinner, to the DJ and then we had them at the session in the residents bar afterwards. We were worried that they might be too much of the same thing all night, but each time they changed, so it was like we had organised 4 different groups. They really were the best wedding band I have ever seen. They had the entire wedding party on the floor for the night, playing everything from Abba to Michael Jackson, to the Black Eyes peas and Lady Gaga. The next day everyone commented on what a great wedding band I had chosen, and I'd just like to thank you all for making my sisters wedding so much more fun and stress free.

  • i had this band for my wedding in feb this year. They offer packages that take care of all the music from the church to the dj. I can not recommend them highly enough. Ingrid has the most beautiful voice and the church was beautiful thanks to her amazing voice. The dance floor that evening was full from beginning to end. The band was unreal. Also they make the process completely stress free.
