"A massive thanks for last night, you guys were fantastic and totally rocked it."
- David and Liz Anderson (Wedding, Wantage, 5th June 2010)

"My wife and I hired Hold Tight to play at our wedding reception in the Cotswolds in May 2010. We enjoyed their slick performance at an event in Syon House the previous Christmas and knew instantly that they had exactly the vibe we were looking for. Charlie and the boys were a pleasure to deal with from the start; offering up a set list, inviting us to gigs in West London and even offering to learn our first dance. On the day, the band turned up at the right time at the right place and were happy to crack on with the set up. The performance was everything we could wish for, with a great rendition of a song by The Who for our first dance. The party really got started after that, with all the guests on the dancefloor before the night was out. Thank you so much for really making our night and giving us some terrific memories, Hold Tight! We look forward to seeing you again soon."
- Jollyon and Rebecca Benn (Wedding, Cotswolds, 2nd May 2010)

"The act Hold Tight were AMAZING! It was for our school prom and everyone has commented since about how good they were. I would recommend them to anyone!"
- Lauren (School Prom, Oxford, May 1st 2010)
