Review Centre: Wedding Bands

"Great to see (and hear) the band yesterday. A terrific job, with very positive feedback from our team and also the audiences. We were all really impressed by the way you got the public involved and engaged. Our view is that it was even better than last year. Congratulations. All the very best and please pass on our thanks to everyone in the band."

"The Honky Tonk Hardies are a fantastic band. Everybody at our wedding loved their music, style and found them thoroughly entertaining. The atmosphere the band created was amazing and our dance floor was packed during each of their sets."

"The Last Cavaliers performed at our wedding this Summer and they were absolutely brilliant! Everyone, from my friends in their 20's to my grandparents friends in their 70's, mentioned how much they enjoyed the live music and dancing the night away. We opted for the 6 piece band with brass section and loved it! The brass section really added to the party atmosphere and if you're thinking of booking The Last Cavaliers you MUST book 'with brass' - definitely worth it! The Last Cavaliers were recommended to us by another well known northern function band, that we'd seen before, and we were thrilled to discover that these guys are actually better! 
One thing that we particularly appreciated was that the band took the time to learn our first dance, which was a compilation of 2 songs, and they did a fantastic job. 

Hopefully we won't personally need these guys for another wedding (ahaha) but we can't recommend them enough. You are awesome!"

"What an amazing band! They were perfect for my 50th birthday party - we had such a mix of ages there and they read the room brilliantly, getting us all dancing. Thank you guys - you really made my night special! "

"Paul and Mark were amazing. They started our Arts Week off with a musical assembly, full of info and great tunes. The class workshops were accessible to all our pupils and it stretched those that had a good grounding of musical knowledge too. Paul and Mark were friendly, flexible and fitted in with the week perfectly. I would recommend them highly. The boys and staff loved them. "

"Hi. We got married in August and The Reminders played at the night function. They were really accommodating and learnt our first dance, which was spot on. Great song choices all night and lots of dancing. Would book them again if ever having a party. Thanks, Anna"

"The setting for our August 2018 wedding was the beautiful Arnos Vale’s Woodland Undercroft. There was a “Gothic Lite” theme to this largely (we had a marquee!) outdoor event which we wanted to be as informal as possible. It was important to us that everybody who was attending or contributing to the event felt that they were able to participate in the occasion as guests. For this reason we wanted musicians who we felt would “fit in” the with guests as well as playing the type of music that we wanted . Having trawled through various websites we discovered the “Hot Hats” and, having played their version of “Friday I’m In Love”, knew that we didn’t need to look any further. The sound was great and the image of the band was just what we wanted. Having then seen the band play a couple of times, it was clear that the personalities and sound was just what we wanted. As there was no particular running order for our afternoon reception, our brief to the band was, basically, “play when you think you need to” and this worked a treat. In addition we were played down the aisle to the band playing “I’m A Believer” which was a really special moment for us. There was good communication at the point of booking which was a painless process and continued contact with Alfie and his agent made arranging the event so much easier. We loved the band and the guests loved them as well. We would therefore have no hesitation in recommending the “Hot Hats” for your event. Martin & Nikki P.S. If there was a downside to our afternoon it was that Alfie (despite his best efforts) was unable to teach the bride to properly strum a guitar but, in the overall scheme of things, we’ll let that pass!"

"From Blink-182 to Green Day, every song was perfect. The dance floor was full from start to finish."

"Well what can we say, booking them was a decision I’ll never regret! We were actually very fussy in picking our wedding band so we looked through the internet and our search was a rather large radius. As soon as we listened to this band we knew they were what we were looking for! Alternative, high energy and brilliant repertoire. The band accommodated some last minute alterations and on the night we couldn’t have asked for any more! They filled the dance floor and I was actually rolling around on the floor by the end of the night. They made a special effort to learn our first dance which was utterly FANTASTIC and they even learnt a Scottish favourite of ours which the crowds absolutely loved. If you are thinking of booking them DO IT. Perfect band to have a brilliant evening of dancing and good tunes!"

"After Dark played last night at my 50th Birthday Party. They were absolutely fantastic, all the guests commented on how good they were. Have no worries these guys can play and sing. Everything was first class. Thanks for making my party so memorable we all had a great time!"

"I took my Fiancé to a Blackbeard’s tea party gig in York with a view to see if he would like them to play at our wedding. As soon as they started playing, the place was bouncing and our decision was made. When they played at our wedding reception, we were not disappointed; they were so much fun, all our guests had an absolute ball! Be warned, put your dancing shoes on, because you will not stop dancing! They are just too scrummy to miss!"

"Thank you so so much! That was simply incredible - it is hard to put into words just how special it was to hear live music of such calibrate, enthusiasm and skill. It was incredible to be a part of the songs, dancing along and - as an aside - simply amazing to have you as a familiar face. Really brought back the happiest of memories. We’ve been receiving messages in capital letters from friends saying ‘THE BAND WAS AMAZING’. We’re all quite a musical bunch and lots of us have all attended quite a few weddings now so that’s a huge compliment. Please thank the band for learning the Lianne le havas song. We had to keep double checking the band hadn’t been replaced by Lianne le havas herself - such a magical way to start the evening. Now just have to dream up some other excuse to hire you guys… a 33rd birthday party?!"
