What a band!!!!!!!!!

5 stars - Groove Train are Highly Recommended
Erin D booked Groove Train for their event

“Groove Train played at our award ceremony to roughly 700 people, they created a fantastic atmosphere for a corporate event with most of the room up, dancing and ""singing"" along. The band did not take long to set up their kit and nailed the sound check with plenty of time before the awards and gala dinner started. After the formalities were over the band did not hold back in getting the crowd in ...”“Groove Train played at our award ceremony to roughly 700 people, they created a fantastic atmosphere for a corporate event with most of the room up, dancing and ""singing"" along. The band did not take long to set up their kit and nailed the sound check with plenty of time before the awards and gala dinner started. After the formalities were over the band did not hold back in getting the crowd in the mood to party. Varied repertoire which was perfect for a wide range of ages, musical interests and management levels! See you again next year guys!!” Read more

“You were all just amazing, and truly brought the party vibe to our daughters wedding. We have had non stop messages and phone calls saying how fantastic you all are.

5 stars - The Royale are Highly Recommended
Amy-Jane O booked The Royale for their wedding in Cheshire

“We honestly don't know where to start, these three are INCREDIBLE. We got married at the weekend, our priority for our wedding organisation was a 'bloody good band.' And we got that and more with this trio! Top quality talent - fantastic singing, audience interaction - a real showstopper. Talented, professional, friendly and total showmen!

We got married at the weekend, our priority for our wedding organisation was a 'bloody good band.' And we got that and more with this trio! Top quality talent - fantastic singing, audience interaction - a real showstopper. Talented, professional, friendly and total showmen! They brought the house down with two fantastic sets and every single guest at our wedding was wowed last Sunday. Like rockstars - to have them play our wedding was a complete privilege. We'd recommend The Royale to anybody looking for a good Indie set that will get everybody up on their feet all night. Just wow. Thank you guys so so much! Amy-Jane & Andy” Read more

They really did get the party started!

5 stars - Party Starters are Highly Recommended
Samantha T booked Party Starters for their wedding in Berkshire

“We loved The Party Starters! We had so many positive comments from our guests about how amazing the band were and what an amazing atmosphere there was on the dancefloor! We would definitely recommend. The party was our favourite part of the day...we didn't want to leave the dancefloor!”

Their performance was the perfect mix of class and excitement.

5 stars - Hurricane Heights are Highly Recommended
Isobel booked Hurricane Heights for their wedding

“Their performance was the perfect mix of class and excitement. They kept the party going all night long, and we loved it.”

More than a wedding band - felt like being at a gig!!

5 stars - Retrospect are Highly Recommended
Sarah B booked Retrospect for their wedding in Shropshire

“This band were so incredibly accommodating from the start. They offered to play our first dance song live since it was a track they loved, and they did such an amazing job of translating a complex orchestral arrangement into sounds by a 3-person band. It was so, so beautiful. And they seemed just as excited themselves by the challenge of learning and playing this new song perfectly, as we were to ...”“This band were so incredibly accommodating from the start. They offered to play our first dance song live since it was a track they loved, and they did such an amazing job of translating a complex orchestral arrangement into sounds by a 3-person band. It was so, so beautiful. And they seemed just as excited themselves by the challenge of learning and playing this new song perfectly, as we were to have them play it for us. Then once the real sets began, it continued to feel unreal. This was unlike the wedding bands we'd come across at weddings previously. The atmosphere was on fire, people who would normally self-consciously avoid the dancefloor were up and jumping around - the passion behind the music was palpable and it allowed everyone to completely lose themselves in the moment to the music. The set list was perfect - a mix of lively rock and pop hits. Exactly the kinds of things we would have listened to with our friends growing up, plus some excellent renditions of party pop songs. Everyone was smiling, laughing, moving, and completely vibing with what the band were giving out. During a DJ'd segment, the band even played some classic songs (very much not on the regular setlist) for my husband's grandparents to waltz to - they really appreciated this gesture, and as they waltzed, eventually a ballroom full of guests gathered very teary eyed to watch their really moving and serendipitous dance. It was a highlight for so many of us - thank you for facilitating this. Retrospect could have played for 10 hours and our guests would have lapped up every moment. Every time the band came on for a new set, everyone rushed back to the dancefloor. There was never any need to encourage guests to give the band some support. They then did at least two encores after guests kept chanting for more! And they finished by taking pictures with us all and chatting with us as they continued to play PA music and pack up their equipment. Thank you Retrospect for such a magical night - we all had the perfect time in your company. Your energy and your talent is sky high, and we're so so glad that we booked you to shape the evening of our wedding. We had endless comments from guests saying how incredible you were - your music was loved by all! Thanks for everything. Tonight, Tonight.” Read more

Could not have wished for better entertainment!

5 stars - The Sonics are Highly Recommended
Louise M booked The Sonics for their wedding in Cheshire

“Wow! What can we say – The Sonics were AMAZING! They got people up on the dance floor that I had never seen dance before – and kept them there! The communication with Tom prior to the wedding was faultless and nothing was too much trouble – even managing to find Take That as a request for the final song and then joining in with the dance routine. Tom and the rest of the band were...”“Wow! What can we say – The Sonics were AMAZING! They got people up on the dance floor that I had never seen dance before – and kept them there! The communication with Tom prior to the wedding was faultless and nothing was too much trouble – even managing to find Take That as a request for the final song and then joining in with the dance routine. Tom and the rest of the band were friendly, yet professional and are born entertainers. All of our guests loved them – no matter how young or old - and we are so, so happy and eternally grateful that we booked them. Thank you once again – you really were amazing! Mr and Mrs Ball.” Read more

Deborah B booked Last Night for their party

“Last Night were a great band to have for a 60th birthday. Playing all our requests, they managed to get everyone up dancing and kept them on the dance floor for most of the night, which meant the party went with a swing! I really enjoyed it and would highly recommend them as a lively band for a party night!”

Apollo Groove was very cooperative and prepared the songs that we had requested with ease!! From the moment they turned up they filled the entire dance floor with such beautiful voices and ambience! Also the band was perfect in timing our first dance song and they continued without a proper break as well so we really appreciate all the efforts!! EVERY SINGLE guests were telling us how amazing the band was, and honestly you guys were so talented!! Many people commented after the wedding that they'd love to get your contact details so we'd be sure to pass them on! :) Only thing is they forgot to play my husband's surprise song for me which he prepared for weeks! Although he should've also reminded the band as well! In the end he just sang it to me after the wedding anyway :) Thank you again for making our evening so magical and filled with excitement and joy - hope to see you guys again in the future :)” Read more
