What our clients say
Here's what some happy couples have had to say about Smooth Ops.
"They had to play on as the crowd wouldn't let them finish."
"We had Smooth Ops perform at our awards function recently and found the whole process easy to organise and most enjoyable. The band were amazing with great talented singers and performers and they played a lot of songs that were enjoyed by the whole crowd. The dance floor was full during the dancing sets and there were lots of comments from participants that they really enjoyed the band and that the band helped to make the whole awards process fun. I highly recommend Smooth Ops for any age group or function as they have a broad range of songs that they can perform."
Terry
"Amazing, helpful and fun band!"
​
"After seeing them in action at a friends wedding it was a no brainer to lock in Smooth Ops. They really went above and beyond particularly when weather changed our floor plan and really restricted the amount of space they had - it didn't hold them back and all of our guests commented about how great the band was."
Amy H.
"Thank you for making our night perfect! "
​
"We had the pleasure of having Smooth Ops play for our wedding reception and they were fantastic! Justin and the Smooth Ops team were absolutely amazing and created such an upbeat and eclectic atmosphere the entire evening. Both my husband and I had so much fun dancing the entire night with the rest of our guests and we've never seen our families have so much fun on the dance floor; literally everyone was dancing until the very last song! They played so many hits and crowd pleasers and catered our demographic exceptionally! Would 100% recommend Justin and his team for any event, thank you for making our night perfect!"
