Please will you thank the DJ Phil Gardner for the fantastic job he did for our wedding music. He was such a nice chap, extremely professional, and the dance floor was absolutely jam-packed all night. We have so many comments from people about what a great evening they had and I know a lot of this was down to the great mix of music that Phil played. He even got my dad dancing, and that has never ever been seen by anyone before!!
I also want to thank everyone at Classique Promotions for the fantastic service we have had, right from the initial enquiry to the service on the night. Everyone has been so helpful, friendly and professional, so thank you, thank you, thank you! Best wishes Gemma - June 2007

I just wanted to thank you on behalf of the NSPCC for all your help and advice in the lead up to Saturday's Masquerade Ball. Tim Parry (toastmaster) was wonderful and a great help to me throughout the evening. I will be writing to him personally to thank him but wanted to let you know how highly I rated him as well. Phil the DJ (Phil Gardner) was also fantastic and helped to create a brilliant atmosphere.
I hope you will be pleased to know that we have raised in the region of £41,000.00. All of this money will be used to help support our local services to children and young people.
Thanks again and I look forward to hopefully working with you in the future.

To Superphonic (band) and everyone at Classique.
Just a quick note to thenak you for an amazing set at our wedding last month (December 06). You were brilliant.
Many of our guests were also musicians and they've all since commented on how professional and energetic the band were - and my yound cousins were really thrilled to chat to a live act about their set-up.
It takes a lot to get me up and dancing for more than one song but the guys and girls managed it with ease and were an absolute pleasure to talk to afterwards.
Thanks again for everthing - we really appreciate it - All best wishes for 07 - David & Emma Owen

Dear Fully Funktional (band)
just wanted to write and say how thrilled Fiona, Michael and myself were by the superb performance you gave us for our wedding party on Saturday night 23rd September 2006. It was fantastic and the numerous comments of praise we had about you afterwards, and the fact that the floor seemed to be full all the time just showed how successful it all was.
Thank you all for helping to give us such a memorable evening.

British Equine Vetinary Association - September 2006
Dear Nicky
Thank you so much for all the entertainers you provided for our congress this year. Adrianna of Palenke was fantastic she really made the party go, many have said that it was the best evening of its kind ever hosted by BEVA and I agree. Not only did she do their own sets she ran the salsa dancing and, when it became apparent that we had failed to provide someone to run the limbo, she ran that too!
Joolz Gianni was deeply cool and his music was great.
Both Harjinder and Co and Nachdey Hasdey Bhangra Dancers were fantastic at the Farewell dinner. Both were entirely supportive of me and both had to wait longer than was planned as the evening was sold out and the service somewhat slower than anticipated. We were all terrible bhangra dancers but had a great time nevertherless!
Please pass on my thanks to them all for their professionalism and consideration.
With Best Wishes Arabella Michell - BEVA

Wedding - Scotland - August 2006
Since our wedding on the 26th August 2006 we've been burning to send a thank you note to you all but our honeymoon in the Maldives interrupted things!!!!
As you know Kevin Paul attended and entertained our guests as Elvis. What a superb job he did. He was absolutely gorgeous (just like the King himself) and sounded exactly like the real thing. Who knew that the King was actually alive and well and living in Birmingham!!!
His outfit was also truly amazing. Not only did he do a great job during the performance itself but he also spent a great deal of time mingling with the guests, having photos taken etc afterwards. He really was a lovely guy who knew just how to keep all our guests happy. Even now, people are still talking about his performance being one of the highlights of the day. We know that several of our guests asked for Kevin's contact details and we're sure that his presence in Scotland will be requested by many.
We would also just like to give our thanks and best wishes to all the staff at Classique who helped us out over the last year. It was a delight to speak to everyone and the service provided was of the highest standard.
Thanks again Kevin for making our special day even more memorable.
Yours sincerely - Amanda and Fraser

Transco Metering - Company Celebration - July 2004 - NEC Forum
Just to say many thanks for organising the whole event for our celebration this year. The whole Caribbean theme was excellent, the décor and theming were great, the music brilliant from the Beached Boys, Tropical Heatwave caribbean band and the DJs, and all the games and sideshows were well used, especially after a few rum punches!
Thanks to you all for your organisation and overseeing of the event, it was great to see the whole Classique team there.
Everyone enjoyed themselves and if we plan such an event in the future we would be happy to liaise with new ideas.

Glaxo Smith Kline - October 2003
The String Quartet and The Shakedown Soul Band were superb on Saturday 4th. The feedback I have received from those who attended the ball said the band were brilliant, in fact people have been raving about them since. Even our site director was spotted grooving on down, really enjoying himself and getting everyone else up to dance!
I would be grateful if you pass on my thanks to the band together with these comments.
Could you also thank the Con Spirito String Quartet too, everyone thought they were excellent.
Thanks to you all at Classique for organising the event and sorting out the bands, pa and entertainment.
Kindest Regards Viki Boult Glaxo Smith Kline October 2003

Wedding - Simon and Amanda
A big thank you for organising our music for our wedding at Hagley Hall on 4th September. We were very pleased with the Roy Forbes quintet and the Con Spirito String Quartet and we've enclosed thank you notes for each of them. Many thanks again, Simon and Amanda.

Greene King - Corporate Event - 2003
Just a short message to say that the band ‘Breeze' were fantastic! They have a great sound and our clients loved them. The female singer worked very hard as when they started most of the delegates moved out of the suite into the Bar. She followed them out to the bar and led them back onto the dance floor. By the end of the evening the dance floor was full when we finally had to pull the plug at the end of the night. Our clients were then demanding more.
Please pass on my thanks to the band and I certainly look for opportunities to use them.
Kind regards Rod Heppolette - Event Manager
-----------------------------------------Just a short note to with a very big thank you.
Shakedown played at our wedding and they were wonderful, cannot tell you how good. They are a great band, mum, dad etc all up and getting down. Our day was perfect and all the band were a big part of that.
Your judgement of what and who was spot on. I must just say as someone who hates the idea of being on stage let alone joining in, I can't wait to see them again and we will and I am starting to look at Stars in Their Eyes in a whole new light. !!!!!!!
Once again many thanks. Yours sincerely - Larry & Charmaine - 4th October 2001

International Society of Arboriculture Conference - 4 day conference for 1300 worldwide delegates - 1999
Dear Nicky and all at Classique
I write on behalf of the Local Host Committee and the International Society of Arboriculture, to thank you for your excellent work during the recent Conference. You excelled all our expectations and everything you did was perfect. Your efforts were very much appreciated.
I would ask that you pass on our thanks to the piper and Rhona Clarke, the soprano. Both performed excellently, the National Anthem went brilliantly and the piper selected excellent material for the pipes. All delegates were impressed and commented on the professionalism and performance of both. Please ensure that they receive our thanks and good wishes.
The mediaeval decorations and entertainers you provided were stunning. (We recreated a large ‘indoor' mediaeval village for 1300 delegates, with fighting knights, magicians, minstrels, jesters, jugglers etc)
Every event from the Presidential Reception to the final banquet went very well. The music at the final banquet was absolutely brilliant. The FibFab Four, Beatles tribute, set the scene and the follow up music from Ballroom Glitz for the 70s era was terrific.
One delegate commented to me when he heard the Beatles, ‘Connecticut was always going to have a hard act to follow, but you've really nailed them with this music - great show'
So, we did it with your help. I will ensure that your name is passed to any colleagues looking for a professional organiser for this type of event in the future. Once again, many, many thanks.
Yours sincerely Dr D P O'Callaghan, General Conference Chair.
