★★★★★ - "The amount of comments we got about the band was crazy..."
“Cruel Summer were fantastic! We were nervous booking a band online that we hadn’t seen before in person but they couldn’t have been better. They set up quickly, quietly and were ready to go when we needed them, they did our first song request with no issues and the floor was full all night! The amount of comments we got about the band was crazy. Exactly what we wanted. We wanted it to be a big party and the floor to be filled until the end. The lead singers sang everything amazingly. Highly, highly recommend them.”
★★★★★ - "Cruel Summer were incredible..."
“Cruel Summer were incredible and were so good on the night. All our guests had a great time and commented after our wedding about how good the band was. They learnt our first dance, and were really flexible over the playlist and also the timings on the night, especially when we had a couple of delays in timings. They were no trouble on the day, they turned up and got set up without any of us knowing and were in the right place at the right time, which was super helpful given it was our wedding day. Would fully recommend them to anyone looking for a great wedding band!”
★★★★★ - "Our guests all said that they didn’t want the night to end."
“We were so lucky to have Cruel Summer for our wedding reception. The lead singer has the most phenomenal voice and the dance floor was packed all night long! Our guests all said that they didn’t want the night to end. As professional performers ourselves, the groom and I were particularly impressed with the seamless transitions between songs, the slick set, the crowd interaction and the high octane energy they put into everything! We can’t thank Cruel Summer enough for the joy they brought to our wedding.”
★★★★★ - "Wow wow wow!"
“Wow wow wow! When we rearranged our wedding we were hoping that Cruel Summer would be able to make the new date, and they did not disappoint! The guys brought such an amazing party atmosphere and filled the dance floor. All of our guests said how great they were and really helped us party the night away. Thank you so much!”
