A perfect addition to a vintage-themed wedding, this talented close-harmony vocal trio draw much of their inspiration from Swing Jazz superstars like The Andrews Sisters and The Rat Pack.

They are certain to add a touch of style and charm to your event with hits like 'The Lady is a Tramp' and 'Don't Sit Under The Apple Tree'. Bespoke set-lists can be constructed from the trio's extensive and diverse repertoire, featuring vintage takes on modern songs alongside the expected 1940s classics.

Involved in musical theatre since a very young age, Katie went on to study Drama at Exeter University, and since graduating has performed extensively with numerous independent production companies.

We all had a fantastic day today!! My daughter absolutely loved it and everyone was so friendly as always but especially to her, and she was totally bowled over by the gorgeous marionettes and even bought their c.d with her pocket money and got them all to sign it!

Hi Marionettes! I'd really like to say a huge special thanks to you all for making my wedding a truly wonderful affair. Your performance was incredible, and our first dance was just perfect. It's something we'll both remember forever. All our friends were asking about you, and everyone really enjoyed your set. On behalf of my new husband Joe and I, thank you very much! We're looking forward to catching one of your gigs soon.
