"I booked the Ben Ward Big Band for a corporate awards ceremony – they were professional from start to finish. The band arrived early and were very accommodating when we needed them to play additional songs (as our guests took a little longer to enter the room than planned!). Most importantly they sounded great, and were exactly what we’d hoped for to bring our event to life."
