Wedding Band Reviews

They're so good that we've seen them twice!

5 stars - The Leaners are Highly Recommended
Jason B booked The Leaners for their wedding in West Sussex • April 2026

“After seeing The Leaners at a friend's wedding in 2024, we knew straight away that we HAD to book them for our own wedding. All I can say is that the band didn't stop getting compliments all night. They kept the energy, procured a great set list and kept the party going after their set with a DJ playlist. Erica's voice is fantastic and the drums, guitar and bass are equally incredible too.

All I can say is that the band didn't stop getting compliments all night. They kept the energy, procured a great set list and kept the party going after their set with a DJ playlist. Erica's voice is fantastic and the drums, guitar and bass are equally incredible too. Special shout out to the drummer (sorry didn't get your name!) Who is able to sing & rap simultaneously whilst playing which is so impressive. We knew we wanted a live band rather than a DJ to ensure our dance floor was full and buzzy and The Leaners delivered that without doubt. After seeing them twice, I can confidently say you are getting a very special 4 piece band if you book them - with fantastic communication and excellent perfromance skills.” Read more

Simply the Best

“We booked the Arcadias through the Alive Network for our April wedding. The Network were great and responded to requests very quickly. Our point of contact was Nick and he was always available on the end of the phone making the entire process very easy!

The Network were great and responded to requests very quickly. Our point of contact was Nick and he was always available on the end of the phone making the entire process very easy! We got in contact with the Arcadias about 4 weeks out and they sent a very comprehensive brief for what they would offer and what they needed from us, the communication was very impressive. When it came around to the event the band could not have been better. They played our own requested song for our first dance and then played 3 x 40 min sets, with DJ sets in between. The dance floor was full all night and the energy they brought to the wedding was simply outstanding. Alongside them being very talented musicians they were consummate professionals. I would book them again in a heartbeat, my wife and I could not fault them.” Read more

Brought the whole atmosphere alive

5 stars - Legends of Soul are Highly Recommended
Harry booked Legends of Soul for their wedding • April 2026

“Legends of Soul performed at our wedding yesterday and were phenomenal. Richard made the whole booking/planning process effortless which takes a whole element of the wedding of your shoulders. We knew that they would be good however we did not expect them to be as amazingly great as they were. It brought the whole evening atmosphere of our wedding alive and got everyone dancing, even those who nor...”“Legends of Soul performed at our wedding yesterday and were phenomenal. Richard made the whole booking/planning process effortless which takes a whole element of the wedding of your shoulders. We knew that they would be good however we did not expect them to be as amazingly great as they were. It brought the whole evening atmosphere of our wedding alive and got everyone dancing, even those who normally don’t. We already have plenty of people tell us how good they thought they were and I am sure it will be spoken about when we reminisce in the years ahead. We want to give a special thanks to the lead singer who made every note effortless.” Read more

Stephen B booked Overdrive for their event in Durham • April 2026

“What can I say about overdrive !!!!! Unbelievable from start to finish, got everyone on the dancefloor, we had specific requests on songs before the event and they delivered those exceptionally. Not a fault in the world and I would highly recommend Overdrive for any occasion. Josh who we dealt with on a weekly basis leading up to the event was always on hand to answer any question or query, agai...”“What can I say about overdrive !!!!!

An easy and enjoyable first ceilidh!

5 stars - Tartanistas are Highly Recommended
Matt booked Tartanistas for their event • April 2026

“A big thank you for leading a really great Ceilidh at this year's Mammal Society Annual Conference. The trio did a great job of coaxing some introverted and aged mammalogists up for some fun on the dancefloor, and then at the close of the set we had the energetic hardcore attendees for strip the willow. The band were really self-sufficient, flexible and easy-going as well as very talented! I'd rec...”“A big thank you for leading a really great Ceilidh at this year's Mammal Society Annual Conference.

You've been a pleasure to work with on this and made my first Ceilidh easy and enjoyable.” Read more

Theodora I booked The Compilation for their wedding in London • April 2026

“We booked The Compilation for our wedding and would highly highly recommend them. Calum was helpful and organised in the run up to the wedding, and the band arrived super promptly (even on tube strike day in London).

5 stars - Midnight Train are Highly Recommended
Amy W booked Midnight Train for their wedding in North Yorkshire • April 2026

“Brilliant band. Very talented, great interactions and spontaneous! They allowed our guests to sing on the mic and even play instruments which was a huge highlight to our day and is still being talked about. Music was great, all requests made prior to the wedding and on the evening were played. They were well organised and we didn’t haven’t to worry about anything. Would 100% recommend to everyone.”
