Review Centre: Wedding Bands

"Thank you so much to Ria for their wonderful music at our wedding. We, and our guests, really enjoyed the Latin jazz and salsa music - such a perfect way to round off our event. Ria were very easy to deal with prior to the event and were very smooth at setting up on the day. How we enjoyed Mas Que Nada!"

"Having heard The RockPins at a friend's wedding and seeing the atmosphere they created we knew that as soon as we were looking for a band for our work Christmas party The RockPins were the band for us. All communication from Matt was so friendly and professional and gave us all the information we needed. On the night of the party, they set up and sound checked, bringing everything they needed with them. We had a brief discussion about the playlist for the night, number of sets but I was more than happy to leave it to their professional judgement. The dance floor was never empty and everyone was singing along. Having The RockPins at our party made the night and the whole team send their compliments. Thank you Matt and the Band!"

"Finding a great band for a wedding is surprisingly excruciating and risky. We were planning our wedding during the pandemic, so we had to rely on online videos when searching for bands. We discovered very many high-priced function bands that look pretty, have excellent promotional videos and websites, but have absolutely no soul or no groove. We also had a few lucky escapes: such as certain bands failing to tell us that the very talented lead singer in their promotional video wouldn't be performing with the band, and a few of the bands we saw in pubs and bars demonstrating no idea how to set their PA system to enjoyable levels. Oh and did I mention some bands were requesting RIDICULOUS prices! However, for us it was so important to find a good band, as my new wife and I and many of our friends are dancers, and we wanted lots of people to dance at our wedding. I wrote a specific brief and had high standards, which meant I spent AAAAGGGGES searching and was mostly disappointed. But then somehow, I finally stumbled across Disco Infernos's videos. Oh - My - GOD! Prayers were answered and we hadn't even got to the church yet. They offered a few bands of different styles, sizes and repertoires - and for us Disco Infernos was the closest to what we wanted. Disco Infernos are also super adaptable, as whilst some of the performers we liked weren't available, we were offered a variety of other performers and could choose who we thought would work best for our occasion, and even the kind of outfits they could wear (although we weren't really fussy about that. What we wanted was a great band.) The standard of everyone we reviewed was very high, and when we wanted performers that could perform funk, soul, disco, jazz, R&B and pop within one performance we got them. I don't like the saxophone, so I asked for a trombone player instead. Done. We reviewed a variety of lead singers, and we chose Najwa, and we're so pleased we did. She gave a superstar performance with a personable, upbeat and still professional attitude, incorporating so many of our specific requests that we knew our guests would enjoy, and encouraging our guests to interact with her whilst she was on stage. Due to a delay caused in to the start of the meal, the band even accommodated a shorter mid-set break to keep the dancing and energy going through-out the reception. Not only did that ensure we continued having an excellent wedding party, it truly gave us value for money for our booking. Guests loved the band. We loved the band. And the band seemed to love our wedding. All very important. We are very grateful to Rhona, Disco Infernos and when we have another occasion where we'd like a great function band, we'll first approach Disco Infernos. "

"We were recently very privileged to have these fantastic guys play at our wedding. The guys are extremely talented and kept our guests on their feet all night long. Extra special touch when they sang the song for our first dance. Highly recommend and can't rate high enough! "

"We booked Oysland for my 60th birthday and we were blown away! They play with great exuberance and vitality, guaranteed to get any party started. I would recommend them to anyone who wants to liven up their event. Thanks for playing."

"We ended up in a sticky situation, our original musicians unfortunately could no longer play, so four days before the wedding and both my husband and I were in a panic trying to get a replacement. We couldn't have asked for anyone better, both Sarah and Jaya were amazing, supportive and completely understanding in the situation. The music they played really added to our special day, everyone was complimentary and really enjoyed it, you both created such an amazing atmosphere, thank you both so much."

Thanks Sharon, it was great to see everyone up out of their seats and dancing to our music non stop. It was a great night for the band, we thoroughly enjoyed playing for such a receptive audience.

"You guys are AMAZING!!!!!! Seeing you perform at my sister's wedding last night, in Ilfracombe, was a highlight of what was an already perfect day and we all had the time of our lives; you had the entire wedding party up on their feet and many of the girls went home with black soles from taking off their heels so they could dance! Everyone commented on how great you were, how it was the best wedding they had ever been to/best band they'd seen at a wedding and how well your quirky style fitted in with the venue and the relaxed, but fun, atmosphere of Jane and Perry's wedding. Really, really great job, thanks for coming all the way... love the hats...sorry you had to give them up for the majority of the night!"

Their talent, energy, and versatility in performing both classic and modern songs had everyone singing along and having the time of their lives. Their musical expertise added the perfect touch of elegance and fun to our special day. Thank you, Three Quarters of a Quartet, for being such a memorable part of our wedding celebration."

"I hired The Mighty Craic for a private birthday party in November 2018. Not only were the band extremely professional, arriving on time and setting up efficiently, they were also all really friendly. They definitely got the party started, worth every penny."

"The event went really well, it was beyond our expectations. The band was on time and is professional. We will not hesitate to book them again should we have other events which require a party evening."
