Our Marimba Band Wedding Reviews
“Marimba Jam really brought a true flavour of Cape Town to my wedding – it was just such a pleasure having them at such an important day. They were professional, on time and a really great service provider.”
“Marimba Jam are fantastic! We booked these guys for our cocktail hour at our wedding, and we have to say it was one of the highlights of the day. It set the tone and straight away guests were up dancing and enjoying a few drinks and canapés while the band performed. The band were really polite and friendly, they were flexible after we changed the start time a few times, and they knew exactly what songs to put on for our wedding guests to get the party started. So So happy we booked Marimba Jam for our wedding, I’d definitely recommend them!”
“Marimba Jam was such a vibe at my wedding. Everyone enjoyed them thoroughly. Thank you to the very talented musicians for entertaining us. Our only wish is that we had you for a longer time. 100% recommend to anyone wanting to have unique and fantastic entertainment!”
