REVIEWS

★★★★★ - DESTINATION WEDDING

“Having Cruel Summer play at our destination wedding was the best decision we made. They traveled all the way to our venue abroad, and from the first note, they completely transformed our wedding. The energy was amazing, and they brought a fantastic variety of songs that had our guests from all over the world dancing together. Their professionalism, combined with the fun atmosphere they created, made our wedding unforgettable. We can’t thank them enough for making our destination wedding the best celebration ever!”

★★★★★ - WEDDING

“Cruel Summer were fantastic! We were nervous booking a band online that we hadn’t seen before in person but they couldn’t have been better. They set up quickly, quietly and were ready to go when we needed them, they did our first song request with no issues and the floor was full all night! The amount of comments we got about the band was crazy. Exactly what we wanted. We wanted it to be a big party and the floor to be filled until the end. The lead singers sang everything amazingly. Highly, highly recommend them.”

★★★★★ - WEDDING

“Cruel Summer were incredible and were so good on the night. All our guests had a great time and commented after our wedding about how good the band was. They learnt our first dance, and were really flexible over the playlist and also the timings on the night, especially when we had a couple of delays in timings. They were no trouble on the day, they turned up and got set up without any of us knowing and were in the right place at the right time, which was super helpful given it was our wedding day. Would fully recommend them to anyone looking for a great wedding band!”

★★★★★ - WEDDING
