Overview
"Of all the choices you make for your wedding, the only thing that's more important than the band is the person you're going to marry!" (Robin Smith)
We tend to agree. The wrong music can really spoil your special event. Mike Laatz and Eddie Kirkwood play gentle jazz standards on mellow saxophone and tinkly piano. Their music sets the tone for the wedding, relaxes the guests, and engenders wonderful romantic emotions.
With a wealth of experience, they understand that the music must be heard, but must never be intrusive. Unlike some bands, they know that guests must be able to chat while the music is playing. And they have a vast repertoire of delightful melodies. If you have a special song, they probably know it; if not, they'll learn it before your wedding.
They have played at dozens of weddings, so they know exactly what is required. And they supply their own sound system, so there's one less thing to worry about. Book the Sundowners Gentle Jazz Band for your wedding; you'll be delighted.

Hi Mike,I'd like to thank you and your talented colleagues for helping to make our wedding day such a wonderful occasion. We needed something low-key to fit in with our informal approach and I was delighted to find that you understood exactly what we wanted and delivered it on the day. Musicians aren't always known for their reliability but at every stage (from first the email through to the actual performance) I felt certain that you would be there with the correct equipment playing great music! Well done.
P.S. We missed our chance to visit that evening Jazz spot we spoke about, but next time we're in the Cape I may drop you a line!

Dear MikeSpeaking from my heart I would like to express my feelings about your music:
Your music and the joy and happiness that it instills in people often leaves me in awe of the wonder of music. I hope that you don't think this too sentimental but I have been a fan of yours ever since your song "Mashed Potato" entered my world. In short, I love the music that you play and the sound of your fellow musicians. I truly believe that you musicians are the salt of the earth. You all spread so much happiness and appreciation for the sound of jazz. I wish that I was on every committee of every city of every country to recommend that your music be played, be it from dawn to dusk.
I have had a long and established career with an esteemed employer in the international entertainment industry and have had the pleasure of attending various functions featuring professional artists. With this background, I would have absolutely no hesitation in highly recommending you to play at any occasion, be it performing for a grand opening of a family casino complex in Las Vegas to a local safari getaway.
With much appreciation for you, yours and your music.
Yours truly,
Sue Wiltshire
