We loved the range of music especially our first dance.Hayley Wood - Wedding at Brooksby Hall, Melton, Leicestershire

The Milestones

They capture the heart and soul of Motown but somehow manage to make it current and relevant for a modern crowd - AMAZING! I was concerned that picking a band of quite a specific genre, we might be limiting some of the guests who may not be familiar with the tunes...However, the opposite was the case.Sara & Max's Wedding - Leigh Court, Bristol
