Had the crowd dancing all night!

5 stars - The Kicks are Highly Recommended
booked The Kicks for their wedding in Buckinghamshire

“The Kicks smashed their performance at our wedding on 10th April! We chose them as we didn’t want the stereotypical cheesy wedding band- and they absolutely met the brief! They played a great mix of Indie/ rock/pop tunes which had everyone dancing the entire night. The guys were also super helpful and responsive in the lead up to the wedding.”


The dance floor was buzzing.

5 stars - Raise The Roof are Highly Recommended
booked Raise The Roof for their wedding in Durham

“I can't speak highly enough of them. They agreed to play our wedding with less than a weeks notice, with a 4 hour drive to the venue and back home. The communication was brilliant. They were very understanding and flexible with us when working around the times we had planned for our day. They gave up more of their day to drive up earlier so the soundcheck would be finished before everyone ...” Read more

5 stars - Night Shift are Highly Recommended
booked Night Shift for their wedding in East Sussex

“Night Shift played at our wedding and were excellent - they really got the party spirit going, and all the musicians were so good, particularly the lead singer! They played a good selection of music, and also provided DJ music between / after their sets.”


Absolutely fantastic band for our wedding

5 stars - Groove Bandit are Highly Recommended
booked Groove Bandit for their wedding in Oxfordshire

“Groove Bandit were absolutely fantastic for our April 2022 wedding. They prepared really well beforehand, giving us an extensive repertoire so that we could give some song preferences for them to build a setlist around. They set up seamlessly and kicked off the evening perfectly with our first dance. They sounded brilliant throughout – especially with the addition of the brass section. The band a...” Read more

5 stars - The Secret Set are Highly Recommended
booked The Secret Set for their wedding in Gloucestershire

“One of the most difficult things I think to pick for your wedding is the band. Venue, food, photographer, etc. all seem fairly straightforward but music is such a tough one to get right. Especially when you have guests of all ages and backgrounds. There are so many bands out there and even with all the promo videos it's impossible to know what to expect on the day. After trawling through what seem...” Read more

5 stars - Dexter are Highly Recommended
booked Dexter for their wedding in Manchester

“What can we say- we were a bit anxious about choosing a band for our wedding as everyone’s music choice is different but Dexter were absolutely brilliant! They worked through an amazing mix of 80’s, 90’s and 00’s hits and had everybody up dancing- it was better than we could have imagined and we are so happy- thank you! The band were really well organised- working with us and the venue to get ...” Read more
