“Brass Monkeys Collective were brilliant - they did everything we asked for, were really nice people, and the music was really good. Our client made a few changes / demands on the night, and they were very gracious in managing that. The AV was also great. Thank you very much for the pre organising - all went very smoothly.”

“Brass Monkeys were absolutely fantastic from start to finish, their performance was great and they were brilliant with the crowd too. The dance floor was full the whole night (usually there always seems to be quiet periods but we didn't see that at all). Communication was great with Tailored Entertainment too so couldn't be happier!”

“Brass Monkeys were AMAZING! We cannot recommend them enough. They had everyone on their feet (especially the bride) from start to finish. They played all our favourite songs and quickly put on any requested favourites from our family and friends. Each band member was super approachable and friendly and checked in with us to make sure we were happy with set timings - which meant we never had to worry about a thing. We didn't want a band and we didn't just want a DJ and therefore Brass Monkeys ticked all of our boxes perfectly. They were absolutely brilliant. Thank you for making our wedding day so special!”
