Full Biography
The Venturas have been playing together since 2006 and were voted #1 Covers Band in the world, by the people of France on a TV show. They have performed all over the UK as well as at weddings in Dublin, The Isle of Man, Strasbourg, The Dordogne, Madrid and Majorca.
Their distinctive sound combines Mumford and Sons-influenced folk, guitar-driven 90s dance and UK garage, as well as contemporary and vintage pop and rock, to get you and your guests on the dance floor right away. The Venturas is the most adaptable band there is; they are capable of playing anything and have lineups ranging from a tight 4 piece of guitar, bass, drums, and vocals to a 10-piece show band with additional horns and top-notch vocalists. They have more than 3.5 million Facebook fans and more than 75 five-star reviews.
The musicians have written songs with the likes of Dappy, and Wretch 32, and gigged with Roger Daltry, Status Quo, and James Bourne (Busted) among other stars. They've played promotional events, Christmas parties, summer parties, you name it. Previous clients include Microsoft, NotOnTheHighStreet, Williams/Martini Racing Holland and Barrett, White Stuff and Merrill Lynch to name just a few.
Whether you’re getting married in a yurt in a field or at a swanky hotel, this is the band you’re looking for. As well as rocking the party they cover everything, so you don't have to think about DJs, lights or Public Liability Insurance.

Leila A booked The Venturas for their Wedding • July 2023
“You had everyone on their feet non-stop, and everyone commented on what a fantastic performance you gave. I actually fractured my rib two days before the wedding, but I couldn’t stop dancing cos every song was perfect and there was never one I felt I could sit out. I wasn’t the only one who couldn’t get enough, from aged 2 to 82 all of our guests really enjoyed your music and had a fantastic time. I can’t believe you learnt our first dance in less than a week – thank you so much! It was amazing and so much better to have it performed live by you guys. We’ve already had a couple of friends asking for your details for future events, and we would certainly highly recommend you to anyone we know looking for amazing live music. I hope you enjoyed the evening too, we really had the most fantastic time. Thank you so much! ”
Terrific show! Cannot thank you enough!
Suzi booked The Venturas for their event • July 2023
“We just wanted to say a huge thank you to all 5 of you for a terrific show last Sunday! I hope you had as much fun as we and our guests did, there were some people who seemed to never leave the dance floor. We've never seen Suzi's brother dance so much in his life! Wilton's is such a special venue and given its history as a Victorian Music Hall, it was unthinkable for us to not have live music so thank you for making that happen with such fantastic energy and spirit. We had wanted to create a day that was full of fun and joy from start to finish and you guys carried it through for us, right till the end! Cannot thank you enough.”
I feel very lucky to have found such an awesome band
Louise A booked The Venturas for their Wedding • July 2023
“Just a quick note to say how AMAZING you guys were on Saturday. I feel very lucky to have found such an awesome band that totally made our wedding a party. I am also so grateful to you for learning my request of ‘You’re so cool’. It sounded amazing & added to the whole experience of having the most perfect ceremony. Also thanks for learning my very last-minute request of ‘Signed, Sealed, Delivered’ I heard a few laughs as we were signing the register. You guys are so talented especially to play the Fresh Prince of Bel Air with no warning. If we’re having a party in the future I’ll be sure to contact you!”
We have had so many comments about how wonderfully the band played.
Viv P booked The Venturas for their event
“We have had so many comments about how wonderfully the band played. So many guests said they hadn’t danced as much for years. It really made the evening and we were absolutely delighted. Quite how you managed to please an age range from 18 to 80 is quite astonishing. ”
Really made the party - great atmosphere and non-stop dancing!
Kim booked The Venturas for their Wedding
“We really enjoyed meeting you guys and we loved your music down at the wedding pavilion and then up at the main marquee - really made the party - great atmosphere and non-stop dancing! So glad you have been booked to come down to us again next year, bring a tent next time - or you can stay in one of the tipis!”
