So thanks very much for making the end of our conference a success. Comments included, a good variety of music that you can actually dance to. A fantastic mix of music. Where did you get them from, they are great.

To the Crystal Set Crew
Many thanks for such a great evening at our recent Christmas Function. RX has had many bands and disco’s over the years but this has been by far the best entertainment we have had.
As in so many work places today it is very hard to cater for all the staff’s needs and taste in music. However with such a diverse range of music you more than accomodated our eclectic tastes.
From the moment we made contact until the end of the function your staff were professional, obliging and very helpful. We would certainly recommend you to any prospective clients.
All the best for Christmas
Regards

This band was amazing. Highly recommend. We wanted a party atmosphere for our wedding and thats what we got. People were on the dance floor the whole night - hardly sat down and we ended up singing back to them. Awesome people to deal with as well. We will use them again!!

"The Crystal Set played for our public New Years Eve concert in Wanaka. Being a very diverse crowd, it was hard to chose a music genre that suited the masses, but The Crystal Set were a huge hit, covered all bases and had everyone up dancing. We look forward to working with this very professional crew again in the future."

Thanks for the fantastic performance at our wedding. The acoustic set was exactly what I was after and the follow up party sets certainly got everyone on their feet. You guys created an awesome atmosphere and have been the talk of the event since! I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending Crystal Set for any function and would gladly have you back for any events I’m running in the future.

The Crystal Set are a fantastic band. Having played at our event they really pulled the crowd in and got all ages up and dancing. The live music was brilliant and the band were the life and soul of the event. Julie Davis

The Crystal Set recently played at our wedding…our family and friends were blown away with their talent - Sarah has THE MOST amazing voice!!! Everyone commented on the bands energy and how Sarah could dance around and sing at the same time, all night! Their variety of songs suited all age groups so everyone at our wedding had the most magic night.
I’ve also seen The Crystal Set play in Springfield, they had everyone up dancing from the first to the last song! To me, that is a sign of a great band!!!

I love this band! They put on such a great show - I’ve seen them at the Hororata and Springfield pubs and Al’s Bar in town. They pack the dance floor! - good on you Crystal Set - cheers
