Brides Comments

"DearBrides comments Susan, I just wanted to express my thanks to The Big Deal who were absolutely fantastic on June 2nd at our wedding. They are true professionals and the mix of music they did made sure the dance floor was always busy.

Nearly all my guests asked what they were called and commented on how fabulous they were which is great and one of my friends has even cancelled the band she had booked for her reception because her fiance liked The Big Deal so much more! So a big thank you for helping me make absolutely the right decision in choosing them and pass on our sincere thanks for helping make our day very special.

Kind Regards, Nicola Morrison (nee Archibald)”
