Riptide were absolutely fantastic

5 stars - Riptide are Highly Recommended
Holly N booked Riptide for their wedding in Warwickshire

“Riptide were absolutely fantastic, their first song was a great choice and it got the night off to a great start. They maintained an incredible standard throughout the whole set and the song they had learned specifically for us. I am a musician, as are many of my friends and we all commented on their very high standard! ”

So much talent and so much energy, brilliant!

5 stars - Hot Frenzy are Highly Recommended
Harry O booked Hot Frenzy for their event

“Hot Frenzy absolutely smahed it at our Wedding at the Four Seasons in Hampshire. What an incredible band. We had so many great comments. The audience interaction was amazing. So much talent and so much energy, brilliant!”

The band was absolutely brilliant. Thanks again.

5 stars - Audio Wave are Highly Recommended
Rob L booked Audio Wave for their party

“Please thank the guys for letting me play with them at the gig - it actually seemed to go rather well even without any rehearsal. The band was absolutely brilliant. Thanks again.”

Mega bang for your buck!

5 stars - The Fun-Keys are Highly Recommended
John P booked The Fun-Keys for their wedding

“I toyed with the idea of a full band for my event but after listening to these guys I decided I could get the full band sound but on a budget. They really delivered on every level. Took up half the space but filled out as much sound as a 5 piece band! Will be booking them again as soon as I can!”

Fantastic band and fantastic guys...

5 stars - The Kicks are Highly Recommended
Helen S booked The Kicks for their event at Kenwood Hall in South Yorkshire

“Fantastic band and fantastic guys, were able to change what they were doing instantly to fit with what we needed. True artists and very flexible for us. We will certainly be booking them again  ”

Thank you!!!

5 stars - The Wedding Crashers are Highly Recommended
Jess A booked The Wedding Crashers for their event in London

“Firstly huge apologies for the delay in saying thank you (I was off on Friday!) but thank you SO much for Thursday. You guys were all amazing & everyone had such a great night!! You made everything so easy from start to finish… even with our rogue request to play ‘All I want for Christmas’. I hope you had as much fun as we did ”

The Wedding Crashers are a good band but need to improve their admin

2 stars - The Wedding Crashers are Highly Recommended
Luke P booked The Wedding Crashers for their wedding in London

“The wedding crashers are a good band but with lacklustre admin. On our wedding day they set up late. We agreed 3pm but they finished at 3:15pm and started playing late. Worst of all, after we spent time selecting songs from their repertoire they didn’t play a lot of them which was an oversight on the bands part, apparently due to some confusion between our wedding and other recent event...”“The wedding crashers are a good band but with lacklustre admin. On our wedding day they set up late. We agreed 3pm but they finished at 3:15pm and started playing late. Worst of all, after we spent time selecting songs from their repertoire they didn’t play a lot of them which was an oversight on the bands part, apparently due to some confusion between our wedding and other recent events. The result was my new wife turning to me after the first song (not first dance) and saying “I hate this song” – not really what you want from a wedding band! Good singers/musicians but just need a manager or better admin. - Luke and Laura, November 2016. Below is the response from the band to Luke and Laura ............Hi Luke, Thanks very much for booking The Wedding Crashers and I'm really glad you thought we were a good band. We apologise profusely that you weren't 100% happy with the service we provided and we've taken your comments on board. We do feel there are mitigating circumstances regarding the minor delay in set up, as previously explained this can be attributed to the manager/staff of Balham Bowls Club offering us an additional 15 minutes to refine our soundcheck, which we accepted but was wholly not critical to us being ready and set up in time. Also of note is the guests were scheduled to enter the dining/function area of the venue at 3:20pm, therefore us finishing setup at 3:15pm having been offered the additional set up time shouldn't have impacted on this, so I'm not sure why there was a delay with the wedding breakfast. Regarding the band not fulfilling the entirety of your song requests, we apologise. This this was a genuine mistake on our part. We do not ignore client requests or purposefully go against their wishes. I would say that roughly 50 - 60% of your song requests were fulfilled on the night, which whilst still falling short of being 100% satisfactory for both yourself and us, I would have hoped would go some way in providing a enjoyable experience for all involved. Your feedback has been noted and we're taking steps to ensure this doesn't happen again. We would like to wish you and Laura all the best for a happy future together and thank you again for booking the band. Yours sincerely Greg (The Wedding Crashers)” Read more

“Thank you so much for coming to the farm and playing at our wedding i hope you weren't too cold in the lambing shed!?

BackBeat were absolutely fantastic – better than we ever imagined

5 stars - BackBeat are Highly Recommended
Kyrie E booked BackBeat for their wedding at Hornington Manor Farm in North Yorkshire

“We were slightly nervous about booking a band online without seeing them live, however from the moment they turned up we knew they would be good and they surpassed our expectations. All members of the band that we spoke to were friendly and polite. They set up then got changed and all looked the part. They were so good it wouldn’t really matter what they were wearing to be honest! ...”“We were slightly nervous about booking a band online without seeing them live, however from the moment they turned up we knew they would be good and they surpassed our expectations. All members of the band that we spoke to were friendly and polite.
