Kelly Fearon - Wedding
I recently had The Grinton Project play at my wedding during an informal cocktail style reception and I was extremely impressed! I had heard Luke, Shane and Hayden play before but in a more upbeat environment. I was very happy with how entertaining yet unintrusive they were as a band to our large and diverse crowd. I have had numerous comments on how fantastic they were, and how well they suited the environment we wanted to create for our reception. They took the time to create a playlist of songs that would suit our range of guests and it was perfect. The band provided appropriate background music and entertainment, creating a positive and relaxed environment. They display a great level of talent and the three of them together create amazing music. I would highly recommend them for any occasion! Kelly Fearon -
David Mountain - Wedding
If you're looking for live music for your wedding or other special event look no further. We had The Grinton Project play on our wedding day and people still remember and ask after the band. The music was fantastic and knowing the members personally I know they will make it so for you. Worth every cent. David Mountain -
Joel & Naomi Young - Wedding
The Grinton Project played at our wedding. It was super. My wife wanted a particular song for the walk in but we didn't really like the original artist's voice so we got these guys to perform it as well as other songs during the ceremony and a set during the reception. As expected, they did an amazing job in an important moment. They are reliable, professional and present well. Joel Young -
Brett & Kelly Bramwell - Wedding
The Grinton Project provided a fantastic musical lead up to our wedding, and kept all parties happy and relaxed before the bride walked up the isle. We found the music to be of good variety and would definitely use them again for other events. Thanks again to the band, with much appreciation, Brett & Kelly Bramwell -
Julie & Spencer Roberts - Wedding
We had the Grinton Project play at our wedding at Alberton House and it was a magical day. They accommodated our requests and played awesome music that totally suited the style of the wedding. They are a really neat group of talented musicians and I would highly recommend them to play at events, especially weddings. They even learnt a song we requested that was special for us. -
Silverdale Tennis Club - Wedding
We highly reccommend The Grinton Project. This polished, pleasant and professional trio delivered superb, unobtrusive background music for the duration of our Clubhouse dinner. The atmosphere created set the scene - we had a great night. Silverdale Tennis Club -
Reservoir Bar & Bistro - Wedding
The Grinton Project performed at Reservoir Bar & Bistro for a period exceeding 12 months…as our lead entertainment on Friday evenings. We found The Grinton Project to be a group of exceptional musicians with a great range of talents…they were always willing to listen and take on board our requirements…and met our expectations on every single occasion… The group always interacted well with the audience and drew excellent crowds…after establishing themselves as a feature on our weekly entertainment calendar. We would not hesitate to recommend The Grinton Project for any event, function, or bar residence and would be more than happy to add to this reference…
