“Tropicalia Party Band was excellent, went down really well and they were really professional and well received. Many Thanks!”
Claire & Jo – Broadway Casino Birmingham

“Tropicalia Show Band is simply the best Brazilian band in the UK. We had an amazing time with such a professional group of musicians and performers. All guests invited were amazed by the cabaret dance as well as all the other performances. We had 3 hours of blast together and will be forever grateful for such a professional bunch of people. You danced, sang and performed with your hearts and soul at our party. It was quite honestly PRICELESS. Thank YOU. We wish you all the best of success for the future. You deserve it!”
Paulo & Denise - Birthday Party

“I was extremely impressed with the professionalism and musicianship of the band. Many of our guests commented on how great the band sounded and enquired about your details. I was really very happy with how things went, and your flexibility in the lead up to the day in accomodating our desired playlist was brilliant. I would have no hesitation in recommending you to potential clients, or employing you again for functions I may organise in the future. Please feel free to quote me on that or pass on my details as a potential referee.”

"We hired the band for our wedding day and they were the highlight of the day!Everyone commented that this was the best entertainment they had eperienced during a wedding and something a little different to the usual covers band. The band were so engaging and it was incredible to see every single guest dancing - truly something for everyone. The singing was absolutely incredible live as was the the little dance lessons in between creating a fab atmosphere. Tropicalia's ability to adapt to the audience is incredible and they are great value for money relative to other wedding bands. I cannot recommend there guys enough. They stole the show!" N. Bhatt, London
Nina and Daniel's wedding

"A big thank you to Tropicalia for such a great show at our wedding on 3/10/09 we couldnt have wished for any better. We had so many great comments from our guests about Tropicalia; 'great original entertainment', 'loved the music and crowd interaction', 'very good choice for a wedding band', 'can i have their details for future events'. The two front girls were lovely and wowed the crowd throughout their performance and the band played a very good mix of songs some familiar with a latin twist that appealed to all guests. Thanks to upbeat guests and the great entertainment the hotel stated it was one of the best weddings they'd ever seen!"

Joanne Ward – Private party

“We were very happy with last night. We thought the music was great and the warmth from you all made it a very easy, fun evening. Vanessa worked the crowd extremely well. We would be very interested to firm up our 'pencilled in' arrangement for our Summer Party at the Chelsea Harbour Club, as you may know it, a very prestigious sports club in London. We would like the same again with more carnival party atmosphere. Looking forward to seeing you again!"
A. Rosamund - CityPink

“A huge thank you for the unforgettable night. A Magnificent Show!”
C. McDonalds - Emirates Airlines

"I think the only way to describe last Saturday evening as 'truly memorable'....Leo and Vanessa and the girls and the band were just amazing...I am getting letters (some two pages long) describing the music and dancing as the best party they have been to ever. The atmosphere generating from the band was such that everyone of all ages danced the night away even a 90 year old lady from New York! Well done, and I will certainly be in touch with any future events".
D. White - Birthday Party

J. Martin – Scottish Council for Development & Industry

“We always recommend Tropicalia to clients who wish to create a party atmosphere. The Latin sound transports you to images of long hot summer nights and is guaranteed to get everyone on the dance floor. They are extremely professional, and reliable and their ability to work as a small band to a full production show with dancers makes them the perfect choice for all types of events or residencies.”
M. Efstathioli - Maverick MGT

“Thank you for all your efforts in bringing a musical piece of Brazil to Buxton for the evening and making the Ball the huge success that it was. Everyone had a fantastic time wanting to know when the next one would be, and I would personally like to compliment you on your professionalism from start to finish. Once again a big heart felt thank you to Tropicalia for supporting this very worthwhile cause.”
Lucy-Ann Charlesworth- Breast Cancer Charity Event

“Thank you so much for entertaining us, it was amazing! Everybody loved and said it was the best party ever, the best wedding band ever too. We are very grateful to you and your band (a BIG special thank you to Vanessa she was FANTASTIC, everybody loved her, her voice is beautiful and she is loads of fun!). I will definitely recommend you to anyone.” Warmest regards
Fernanda and Mark – Wedding

“Just wanted to say how pleased we were with the way the whole Show went, what an excellent Band and Fantastic Dancers you have. The professionalism of both the Band and the Dancers was above expectations and we especially loved the way first, you organised the performances throughout the evening and secondly, the way Vanessa got most of the Guests on the floor to Samba with her and the other Dancers. That was exactly what was needed to make all the Guests feel they were really part of everything that was going on. All in all, we would be happy to recommend you, for the way you organised everything from day one and the Band and Dancers for their friendly attitude, superb performance and total willingness to adapt exactly to our needs on the night. Once again thank you and do keep in touch.”
J. Vainwright – Ralliesandevents Mardi Gras 2009

“Tropicalia blew our minds at our wedding. Super professional from the first moment we made contact and a seriously slick operation on the night. The entire room was whooping with delight when the girls came down the stairs in their feathers and the energy the band created was incredible. They really set the party alight; the atmosphere was electric and our guests just couldn’t get enough of them. This is an extremely talented band; if you want your party to go off with a bang, book them now, you will not be disappointed.”
Jenifer Swallow – Wedding entertainment

“On behalf of Australian School of Business, Melbourne Business School and Macquarie Graduate School of Management Alumni I’d like to pass on our sincere gratitude to Tropicalia for a wonderful evening.

It was great to see so many people enjoying themselves on the dance floor. I now look forward to seeing you again next year! Please pass on my thanks to the rest of the band”.
B. Sayer - Chairman, Macquarie Graduate School of Management Alumni Group

Please pass on my thanks to them and we very much hope they will be able to come back next year- when we will have the big marquee in place and no rain issues!”

“An excellent performance and a stunning show that took everyone's breathe away!!!”
J. Cooper – Wedding reception

“Friday was Latin night, with the Virtuoso Strings going on first playing violins and performing songs from around the world. They were followed by Tropical Latin, a South American group of musicians and dancers in full carnival costumes. The band was one of the best Latin bands I have heard and played all the popular dances. The dancers came out into the audience and danced with them - a great night was had by all.” http://www.btinternet.com/~jazzworld/artdfest.htm

“Thank you so much for playing at our wedding. You were everything we hoped for and so much more. We absolutely loved your performance!!! Everything about it!!!! You seemed to judge the mood of the evening perfectly and you helped to create and maintain a really fun, friendly, party atmosphere. We didn't want your set to come to an end. So many people have commented to us about how fabulous and original you were and how you brought an extra special something to the evening. We can't thank you enough for making our special day even more memorable and special. We would not hesitate to recommend you to anyone and look forward to booking you again.”
