Wedding Anniversary

A cold November Sunday, but sunny, took us to the beautiful area of Farncombe and Godalming, in Surrey, where Frances & Stephen booked us to celebrate their 30th Wedding Anniversary.

We immediately felt the warmest welcome by all the family, who live in a beautiful Old Farmhouse full of character, and a long table was delightfully prepared for lunch in the barn.

We performed our classic Spanish and Cuban sounds, to the pleasure of the guests, who enjoyed homemade chicken pie and dessert, to the sounds of Chan chan, and other Buenavista Classics.

Thank you for having us!

Recent events

This month we continue with lots of lovely events, we want to say thank you all for having us, it has been wonderful to be part of your special days and celebrations, Vince & Cecilia at Tom’s Kitchen in Chelsea, Alessandra at Paradise by way of Kensal Green, Sam & Tom Wedding in a family Barn in Essex, and Jess & Camilo’s Wedding at Easton Grange Wedding Venue.

We leave you the lovely feedback from Vince:

Hi Javier

Just wanted to say another huge thank you for helping to make our wedding such a huge success on Sunday.  I have had so many comments about how amazing you guys were.  Cecilia and I absolutely loved your music and thank you so much for learning both songs that I requested.  They are special songs to us and it meant so much to hear them.
We are so pleased you guys were able to perform at our wedding – you were absolutely fantastic.  Hopefully we may find our way down to Streatham some time when you guys play one of your evening sessions.
Thanks so much once again

Party time

With the lovely weather we are having in June, we have been very busy performing at different events. Los Amigos music is the perfect sound for the summer and sunshine, for celebration and good times! We have been in Richmond for the wedding of Nico & Lisa, where we performed the very requested hit of “Despacito” by Luis Fonsi.

The wedding of Yitzhak & Sofia took us to the lovely Tanner Warehouse in Bermondsey, where we had a great time playing during the dinner and then for the party dancing afterwards.

Another lovely wedding in Richmond, by the Thames happened at the Bingham restaurant and hotel, with Phil and Elba tying the knot, where we played and afternoon set in the garden, and another for the party in the evening.

And three more events took us to the Babylon Restaurant in Kensington, for the America’s summer party, and then to Milton Park in Oxfordshire (thanks to lovely Hannah from Miramar) and to a Charity fundraising at High Wycombe, organised by the super friendly Charlotte.

 

And to finish the week we went to Barnet to the Engagement party of Sophie and George, congratulations!

Chris & Amanda, and Gerry’s 50th

This weekend we performed at the lovely wedding of Chris & Amanda at Mythe Barn in Leicestershire. The wedding had a Spanish / Mexican theme, colourful “sombreros” and games for the guests, a vintage popcorn cart,  and delicious chicken burritos served by the venue’s catering in the evening. We had lots of fun and the bride’s mum Glynis sent us this lovely message:

“I would like to say a big thank you for performing at our daughters wedding at Mythe Barn on Friday 19/5/17. You were amazing. Everyone had a wonderful time and absolutely loved you guys. The staff at the barn said it was one of the best wedding’s to be held there. I will recommend you to anyone looking for a great band that can get a party started and continue to keep them on the dance floor all night. Thank you once again. xx ”

On Saturday we headed south, and after a brief stop at Warwick for lunch, we continued our travel to Chippenham to perform at Gerry’s 50th. She prepared a big marquee and catering in the garden, and although the day started wet with pouring rain, it didn’t dampen our spirits, and together with the 100 assisting guests we had an unforgettable evening of music and dancing!

 

This is the lovely feedback from Gerry:

“Dear Javier and the rest of the band,

Wow, wow, wow! I had such a brilliant 50th party on Saturday … I couldn’t have wished for anything better. Thank you all so much for making it such a fantastic evening, you really got the party atmosphere going, and kept everyone up and dancing all night. It was such an easy process dealing with you guys, from the first time I contacted Mark at Stormont, I will definitely recommend you to any and everyone! I’ve had so many people commenting on how great the music was and what a great party is was, so I have passed your cards on to them as well as the caterers and tent people too. Thanks again guys – you were top notch!

With best wishes

Gerry”

1000 Miles

This weekend we did 1000 miles travelling to perform at different events.

First our visit to Penarth near Cardiff, Wales were we played for the Manchester City football players of the Premier League, while they were having a private dinner at the exclusive restaurant in the Marina.

On Saturday we travelled to Liverpool to play at Anna & Paul’s wedding at a Hallmark Hotel. Finally on Sunday we drove south to the beautiful Dorset, to play at Gabriela & Adam’s wedding in a beautiful countryside setting with a nice Tipi.

Now I need a relaxed Monday to recover from all the driving!

Lily & Gonzalo 6/8/16

Lovely wedding in the Gloucester countryside, where a big marquee was set up, and a great Argentinian BBQ made the delight of the guests.

The feedback of the couple:
“Dear Mark,

Just a quick note to say an ENORMOUS thank you to both you and Javier and his team for providing the most fantastic music at our wedding on Saturday.

You have been incredibly professional to deal with, and the band did not disappoint. They were incredible, and everybody loved them. So many people asked where they were from, so I hope you will get some further bookings as a result. They really did provide the perfect music for our wedding, and we could not have asked for a better time. As you can see from the photos below, everybody had a good time!

We would like to send them something personally by means of a little thank you – are you able to provide a forwarding address please?

Thank you,

Lily and Gonzalo

Wedding at Rosewood London

I leave you some pictures of our recent wedding at the fantastic Rosewood in London. It was a lovely event, and we made sure we got everyone on the dance floor, starting with mellow couple dancing songs, and ended in a party just like we like it. For this event we had a great stage and lighting set up, for the 200+ guests, who enjoyed an acoustic set of our music during the reception, and then another set at the big ballroom after dinner.

This wedding  guests, coming from all around the world, were delighted with the food and the entertainment provided by our lovely couple.

Contemporary wedding in Kensal Green

The many professional art and photography studios in London afford the modern bride and groom a chance to host a city wedding in a new and fascinating setting.

Our clients had their sights set on Sunbeam Studios in West London, a photography studio frequented by Victoria Beckham, Johnny Depp and Idris Elba for publications such as Elle, Tatler, Details and GQ.

Guests were serenaded by Los Amigos duo as they arrived at the intimate ceremony. The duo performed acoustically, playing beautiful Spanish songs.

As the bride made her entrance and the Talbot Hall felt silent, Javier’s guitar rang out as he sung Amor D’un Dia by the Gipsy Kings.
