What our clients say about Sahara
Sahara arrived on time and got set up seamlessly. They communicated well before the wedding and were willing to learn out first dance song, and played it brilliantly. Our guests were very impressed with the quality of the band and the range of songs that were played. Very happy with the quality of the band and would recommend!
Rachel Jones, Strathaven
Any questions I had before the big day the band were brilliant and emailed back very quickly! They learned our first dance song and performed it beautifully! They had the dance floor full the whole night and they were absolutely amazing! Everyone has said they had an amazing time thanks to the brilliant band we had!!! Can’t thank them enough!!
Lindsay Goudie, Troon, Ayrshire
Sahara were literally fantastic!!! Everyone at our wedding said about how good they sounded. They sounded tight, full and had a great repertoire of songs. Every member of the band was such high quality and it massively contributed to the enjoyment of the evening. Sahara also massively helped me out as they allowed me to use their system to sing a song but also were willing to learn a song that we could play together. My wife absolutely loved it and so did I! It was a moment I’ll remember for the rest of my life. They also learnt our first dance song which they smashed too! Couldn’t recommend Sahara more! Thanks so much!

Ashleigh Singer, Markinch
Excellent song choices, had everyone on the dancefloor, including myself all night! Amazing vocals from both singers. We've had lots of complements from our guest regarding the band.
Ashton Fawns, Dundee
Good comms throughout the process, kept us informed throughout, and provided more detailed information when requested. Helped to answer any questions, reassured us, and were very accommodating for the song choices, learning, and any requests. On the day they turned up prompt, went down very well, helped during the break with providing some equipment, and helped really push the night along. Definitely recommend them for others.
Michael Kerr, Edinburgh
Sahara were wonderful! They discussed out setlist and requirements in detail and listened to our needs and were willing to learn both songs we requested that were not part of their setlist. On the night their set up was so quick and they sounded amazing! I really couldn't recommend them enough to anyone who was looking for a band!
