"We were absolutely blown away by Centrepiece. Having chosen them out of dozens of bands on various websites, we already expected a lot -- and they delivered in spades. Their set list was exceptionally cool, the performance really tight with loads of energy, they were very flexible, and nice guys to boot. The dance floor was packed all night. If you've got a fun crowd who appreciates great music, we totally recommend them (in fact one of our friends made a booking on the night for her own wedding!)"
M. Price & S Schofield

"I would just like to express my appreciation for the exceptional performance Centrepiece provided on Saturday night at our owner’s ball. The band arrived in ample time and were sound checked and set up 40mins before the guests arrived. From beginning to end their sets were none stop party with the singer engaging with the audience and getting them involved in the singing. By the end of the first set almost all of the audience were up dancing. The feedback from the guests was fantastic. The bands approach to their work is very professional and they are a pleasure to work with. I would recommend this band to any potential client."
D Rodgers

"Centrepiece put on a fantastic show in conditions that were far from perfect because of the weather. They were professional and have a fantastic attitude. The party crowd were a mixed bunch but EVERYBODY enjoyed the band. Highly Recommended!"
Graham and Tanya Storey – wedding anniversary.

"Thanks so much for playing our summer ball guys, you were utterly amazing. You have been the talk of the office over the past few days. Hopefully we will be able to get you back for our Christmas bash."
Bryony Vallis – Abbott Diagnostics summer ball.
