Doctor Chocolate had been entered into the wedding band award in the prestigious South West Wedding Awards for 2016 and we were successful in being one of the finalists!
The awards ceremony was held in Plymouth and we attended on a cold, wet January evening. This is the first time we’ve ever been entered into a wedding award so we were excited to see what would happen.
If you had booked Doctor Chocolate for your wedding in 2016 then you could vote and all our clients sent in their votes and testimonials and reading them all was so lovely! Being such a big band we are not booked every weekend so only have between 30-40 bookings a year for weddings, charity fundraisers, corporate events, school proms and balls etc.
Sadly we didn’t win this year but we had a great night.
We would like to say a big THANK YOU to everyone who voted and said such lovely comments about the band. This is our 25th year in the music business and to still be going after all this time is a fantastic achievement and says a lot about our professionalism and attention to detail.
So if you are looking for a wedding band then please get in contact – don’t take our word for how good we are – here’s a few comments we received from the voting and our clients:
“They were the ultimate professionals from taking my initial enquiry through to packing up at the end of the event and all the hundreds I sent them in between! They performed with panache in less than an ideal environment. They were flexible then timings went to pot and they were such fun! They really did get everyone dancing even those that are confirmed ‘don’t dance’ers! All our guests were mightily impressed and probably talked about them long after all the fuss about the bride and groom died down! Really, everyone at our wedding, including the venue owners had nothing but praise for these guys! Totally worth the expense!”
“The most accommodating fantastic group I have ever seen, they worked with us to ensure our guests enjoyed a fantastic evenings entertainment.”
“Sarah and the band of DR Chocolate really make your wedding go with a swing. Our wedding guests were constantly on the dance floor.
