At first we hesitated to hire a band at our wedding, but how glad we are that we did! It made the party complete. William and the band were fantastic and created a great atmosphere! The dance floor was well filled with all ages :). Communication beforehand with William was smooth via whatsapp. From the guests we received nothing but praise for the music! We can only recommend the band! Therefore 5 stars well deserved!

The duo Maurice and Lieke were fantastic! They performed at our company/family party. Besides the fact that they were extremely good, they involved the audience in a fun way. Chapeau for Lieke to sing Andre Hazes and Dolly Parton on request, was really great!
, Wes

We booked William and the Handjives for our wedding party, and what a great choice it was! From the very first moment, we noticed that William and his band members are truly professional performers. Communication was flawless, and it was reassuring that William contacted the venue to take care of all the practical details. About the performance itself: it was truly unforgettable. We can't find enough superlatives to express our appreciation. Our guests were simply unstoppable on the dance floor; it was all energy and excitement. William and his band members knew exactly how to sense the audience. Sometimes quiet songs to control the mood and sometimes with rousing hits that got everyone swinging. The repertoire was nothing short of fantastic and really spoke to everyone's taste. What really stood out was that even the day after the party, all of our guests were still very impressed with the band. They repeatedly asked where we had found such a great band. So, to anyone reading this who is looking for the perfect musical accompaniment to an event: look no further, book William and the Handjives. They will exceed your expectations and transform your party into a dazzling spectacle that will be talked about for a long time.

We had Williams and Lieke join us last Saturday for a performance for our guests at the Bossche Kelders. Besides the fact that we enjoyed the music, the professional attitude of the band and their sound engineer was super. Our location is in a vaulted cellar so all equipment had to go downstairs. This was no problem. Our guests were very enthusiastic about the music and danced a lot. They really made it a party. Hope to see you soon at the next fine collaboration. (and another beer). Bossche Cellars.

William performed during the relatives day at our residential location. Residents and relatives enjoyed the performance.
, DrieGastHuizenGroep
He performed at the residential groups with his guitar. Played for 15 minutes at each housing group. Many enthusiastic residents and staff who danced, clapped and sang along. At 1 group there was even a resident who participated with her own instrument, so much fun:)
, DrieGastHuizenGroep
He received many compliments from the residents and staff :)

Great performance had outdoors, our residents more than enjoyed the recognizable music. Because this performance is very mobile we were able to provide recognizable music to the residents all around our building.

Top performance, our clients enjoyed it, thank you!
, DrieGastHuizenGroep
William Smulders gave a musical performance at the Hoogstede location on 23 June 2021. The residents were all very enthusiastic and some of them even made a dance, even in a wheelchair. During the music they enjoyed a snack and a drink. This performance is really worth repeating.

William has performed in our nursing home. It was a pleasant afternoon with varied songs. It was great that the residents also enjoyed the Elvis songs and many other recognizable songs. One resident indicated that William may come back again. A pleasant afternoon with listening songs and familiar sing-alongs.
, Linda
The music was really great, great quality but also the songs. The songs that were played matched the residents. They had a great afternoon, especially thanks to William Smulders and Lieke Grey.

Nice interaction with the residents.

My mother had a great birthday thanks to the great performance of William Smulders. Evergreens for an hour. She turned 75 today and he gave a coronaproof gig at Villa Vrijland. Highly recommended. A day with a golden edge. Especially thanks to the nice and sweet staff.

Can sing well and responds very well to the situation.

Professional singer with attention for the guests and well responding, fantastic.
, Remco
Hello William and Lieke, Just a personal email to thank you for a fantastic afternoon. I am 100% satisfied with the presentation, singing and how everything went. Everything was simply great and my guests had the same opinion and my wife has yet to recover from the surprises that day. At the next party I will definitely ask you again and don't even look any further
, Klaas
Live duo William Smulders & Lieke Grey concluded our ceremony in a beautiful, cheerful way. Gives a very nice own atmosphere and was a much appreciated addition to our wedding toast! In the background and at the same time pleasantly present. The guests regularly came to us with the question where did you arrange such a nice band? Nice anyway!
, Daniëlle
Bye Lieke and William, thanks again for your great performance at our wedding! We have only received compliments!

Nice person and in terms of music style and presentation everyone is recommended. All appointments were completely fulfilled and William would immediately choose again at the next party. Thanks for the pleasant cooperation.

We would like to thank you for the special Saturday night on April 27th. In addition to the conviviality among the people, we have greatly appreciated your input and music. This did not lead to a full dance floor, but many people present complimented us on your music and the cozy, relaxing atmosphere. We are happy to convey that to you
, Alexander
You guys responded well to what people wanted to hear. Thank you so much again.

Hi Wiliam! It's been a while, but better late than never. I wanted to say that my parents (and the rest) enjoyed your performance! We've been really happy with you. Had to be said
, Adriënne
We often have a party here and there and when we say goodbye you never hear anything about the band. With us it was a bit different, one after the other, thanks for the party, food was good, but that music was cool! The photographer, who is a fan of Elvis himself and has been performing with his wife for years, asked us to let him know that he liked you so much. The owner of De Lodge, Walter Kats, who has been organizing parties for decades, came to let us know this morning that it had been a very long time since he had had such a good band!
