Personal Message from the Manager

Name of Wedding Contact: Ben Arthey
My name is Ben Arthey and I have been performing as a professional musician in various bands at weddings for the last 10 years. After taking part in the provision of live musical entertainment at literally hundreds of weddings I decided to put together this band to help you choose and manage the live music for your big day.

We had some amazing feedback.
Thank you both so much for providing a superb afternoon of music and entertainment - all of our guests loved you guys and we had some amazing feedback. And thanks for pursuing through the rain, then torrential rain and onto the sunshine - just in time for a bit of Mr Marley too. I hope to be able to watch you play again some day soon... Take care and thanks again.

You got everyone on the dancefloor and kept them there the whole night!
Thank you SO MUCH for playing at our wedding. We loved your music and were especially impressed with your version of Counting Stars. You were all so friendly and we are so glad we discovered you. You helped make the atmosphere fun yet relaxed and that is exactly what we wanted. Plus you got everyone on the dancefloor and kept them there the whole night! Wishing The Winklepickers the best of luck! All the very best, Steph and Alex
