As the manager of the Warkworth RSA I have been dealing with Alan Reeves from Going Bananas for the last two years.

They have been providing entertainment for our Hoedown's and other themed events plus conducting our fortnightly Quiz nights.

Alan has proven to be extremely reliable, professional and his events are first class.

He is an accomplished master of ceremonies, an excellent DJ and his sound system is second or none.

In fact he has gathered quite a following amongst members of the Warkworth community particularly with the local line dancing clubs.

This year the Warkworth RSA will be once again supporting Going Bananas as we know their events will be well attended and very popular with our members.

Alan Reeves and Going Bananas has our highest recommendation.

Hi Alan

I wanted to extend my heartfelt gratitude for your incredible contribution to our resident Christmas Party.

Your effort truly made the event a spectacular success.

I believe you left every resident with a sense of joy and contentment, reassured that they have chosen the perfect place to call home.

Thank you once again for making the event so memorable.

Hi Alan 

What an amazing night! Thank you so much

Hello Alan

Thank you very much for presenting to our Men’s Group yesterday at Red Beach Hospice. I heard great feedback following the session – keeping a number of the men (and our staff!) on their toes with your challenging questions.

We really appreciate you giving your time and sharing your skills, to support the group and hope you also enjoyed yourself.

Hi Alan,

Thank you so much for your heartfelt message and for sharing this incredible milestone with us. Congratulations on 25 amazing years in the singles events industry—what a legacy you’ve built!

Your passion, energy, and dedication have created a truly special community. From unforgettable dance floors to lasting friendships (and everything in between!), your events have brought so much joy to so many people. It’s clear that Auckland Singles has been more than just a business—it’s been a vibrant, welcoming space thanks to your vision and leadership.

It’s inspiring to hear how Going Bananas is thriving—clearly, your spark is as strong as ever! While it’s bittersweet to see you move on from Auckland Singles, it’s wonderful to know the community will continue to grow under new leadership.

I’ll definitely be there on May 16th to celebrate with you and to toast to all the memories, laughter, and connections you’ve helped create. Wishing you all the best in your next chapter—you’ve certainly earned it!

Warm regards,

Hi Alan,

The party was a great success — all the girls had an amazing time. They loved the games, the music, and especially the dancing!

Your music made the day even more special, and we’re so grateful for your and your friend’s energy and enthusiasm.Here are a few comments

“Brilliant DJ! The kids absolutely loved the music and the games — highly recommend!”

“Alan was amazing — he kept the party lively and made sure everyone had a wonderful time.”Thanks again, and hope to see you again soon!

My family and I have attended many of Alan Reeves events, mainly the Hoedowns and 80s nights at the RSA.Words really can’t express how fabulous these events are and how much fun and joy they bring to everyone.

Alan creates a warm, friendly, inclusive and fun atmosphere, gets to know most people by name and is always keen to personalise the night to whatever requests or games people want.

The Hoedowns are a favourite with line dancers and the other nights are great for any kind of dancing. Rarely have I been to an event that is so much fun that everyone leaves with smiles on their faces and a joy in their hearts. Alan is so helpful and approachable at creating exactly the type of event you want and has a special talent for bringing everyone together, so he is a perfect choice for birthdays or social gatherings.

I 100% recommend him!

Alan, also known as “Going Bananas,” is a fantastic entertainer who brings a lot of energy and joy to the events he hosts. The fact that the residents in our village (Summerset Milldale) look forward to his Coasties Quiz at the RSA in Whangaparaoa and also enjoy his visits to our Village is a testament to his ability to connect with people and create a fun atmosphere.Alan is able to get everyone involved, even the staff, and he’s particularly good with the residents. The image of everyone playing air guitar and dancing together is wonderful, and it’s clear that Alan has a special talent for bringing people together and creating memorable experiences.

Alan thank you for hosting a Quiz night for our whole school team-building event. You achieved full crowd participation and even some dancing. I loved how our team was able to relax, laugh and have a wonderful time. . Thank you for your professional service.

We chose Going Bananas Quiz Master Alan Reeves to run our Quiz night Fund Raiser. We had a huge turnout and the whole night was so much fun. the rounds of questions were well thought out and kept everyone guessing. Alan was very professional and obviously put a lot of thought into the whole night. He provided everything  including the sound system, microphone , answer sheets and pens. We have no hesitation in recommending  him for your next Quiz night.
