Absolutely fantastic band. Extremely talented and played excellent music that got everyone dancing. Would highly recommend them for any occasion, we had them for our works Christmas party and they were hugely popular with everyone. The best band I’ve ever seen live at these kind of events…book them, you will not be disappointed! 10/10 from me!

Judith H-S

Central avenue played for our wedding in November 2022, and were absolutely incredible! The dance floor was never empty and they just played banger after banger - I never wanted to leave the party!

Maya R

They played at our wedding reception in September. The dance floor remained packed the entire time. Wonderful band, cool set list. Really fun night! You will not regret this band!

Adam W

Central Avenue were amazing, and really helped make our wedding truly special. From the moment they started playing, the night came alive with brilliant renditions of classic songs that created the atmosphere to get everyone moving and having tons of fun. Guests also had tons of compliments for the band, singer Alda, and the DJ and epic sax guy who kept everyone on the dance floor moving well into the night. Thanks again for a wonderful performance!

Katie S

Central Avenue Band played our evening wedding reception. We had an 8 piece band and they were absolutely fantastic! The music was exactly what we wanted and the band's energy was amazing. All of our guests commented on how great the band were and they kept the dance floor jam-packed which is exactly what we wanted!

MAKE YOUR EVENT MEMORABLE.
