Why Choose Candy?

The band can provide party & background music to be played before, in between and after their live sets on MP3 player/ipod or CD for no extra charge. This will be played through the band's PA system, plus the use of the band's dance floor lighting for your party - saving you the hassle of booking a DJ! While this is not a 'manned' service with requests etc., you are welcome to bring your own CDs and MP3 players with you.

If the band's final set finishes before 12 midnight (E.G. 11-11.30pm), music can be provided up to 12midnight (or 1am if you have booked for a 1am finish time, extra fee applies).
Candy are also happy to learn a special first dance for no extra charge, providing they have at least 4 weeks' notice

TESTIMONIALS

"Hannah and the band, many thanks for an excellent night on Saturday. We have had lots of positive feedback about the ball and I think everyone had a cracking evening! Best wishes, Carrie."
Carrie Tucker, Hunt Ball, Stoney Thorpe Hall, Dallas Burston Polo Ground, Southam - November 2009
"The band's performance was absolutely superb. The singer's attitude was fantastic and deserves special mention."
Paul Rosser. Surrey - September 2009

"We just wanted to say a massive thanks for their superb performance. Please pass on our appreciation to all four of the band members. So many of our guests commented on how good they were and how they really made our evening reception so spectacular. Some of the staff at our reception venue also said that they have never seen the dance floor in our reception room so full! All of them were extremely professional, and most importantly brilliant performers."
Jon Childs, wedding reception. Oxfordshire - August 2009

"Dear All, just a quick email to thank you for making our daughter's wedding evening so special - we've had lots of positive feedback everyone had a great time. Louise & Jon have sent an email to Function Junction saying the same. We hope to use you again in the future & would definately recommend you. Thanks again, Dave Smith (Father of the Bride)"
David Smith, Bicester - August 2009
