Hear From Our Guests
“I have nothing but good things to say about Toby and the band. Throughout the planning period for a big birthday celebration he was responsive and shared all the information I needed, quick to come back on email and very professional. On the night itself the band were simply fantastic! They made the atmosphere at the party, the singing was superb and their good nature and friendliness was noted by all guests. They were simply great! I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone thinking about a live band and would invite them to play again at a party in a heartbeat! Thank you Toby for making the night so much fun, we all loved it!”
Liz, 50th Birthday party at The Beacon, Tunbridge Wells, March 2025
“We booked The Masquerades for a party and they were brilliant. Toby was a huge help with selecting the right play list to appeal to different generations. On the night the talent and energy of the musicians was fantastic. They say the most important thing to get right at a party is the music and this band nailed it.
We are trying to think of another reason to celebrate so we can book them again”Lucianne, 40th birthday party at The Auction House, Tunbridge Wells, September 2024
“Toby and The Masqueraders played at our wedding and were INCREDIBLE! The whole wedding party was up and dancing all evening. Toby was really well organised before hand, checking in the venue and us on timings and set up. They were very discreet when setting up on the day and played our chosen first dance song to perfection, despite us only giving them 2 weeks to learn it
Thank you so much Toby and the band!”Sally, wedding Tunbridge Wells September 2024

“Well where can I begin? I thought you guys were absolutely fantastic. I woke up to a foot of snow the morning of my wedding day and I was so worried that all of the services wouldn’t be able to make it, including the wedding band. Toby rang me in the morning and was one of the only people that said to me that you guys would DEF be there, instead of some other phone calls that I took that day that said they would ‘try their best’ etc... it was one of the most reassuring phone calls I took that day.
I didn’t even notice you guys setting up, then all of a sudden you were there. The music and singing was out of this world, due to the snow I was so worried that everyone would leave early, but I think the fact that the covers band was so good encouraged people to stay much later than I thought. You guys were just absolutely brilliant, and I cannot thank you enough.”
