Photo of Ukebox Ukebox "From start to finish they looked after everything and our guests were blown away - can't recommend highly enough thank you x" Based in Liverpool, England (191 miles from Stirling) 29th September 2026 Andy & Leanne - Private Wedding Photo of Christina & Harry Acoustic Duo Christina & Harry Acoustic Duo "Christina and Harry are fantastic talented musicians who made our small evening wedding reception absolutely brilliant fun. Their performance of our chosen first dance song was pure magic and made it extra special. Whether you're looking for some background music for an event or full on party live music we can't recommend them highly enough." Based in Nottingham, England (246 miles from Stirling) Jenny & Tim - Private Wedding Photo of George Zebra George Zebra "Great experience. The band were perfect for the audience. They arrived early to set up and started on time. Three great sets and interacted really well and joined in the fun. Massive thank you for creating a great night!" Based in Aylesbury, England (323 miles from Stirling) Steve B Photo of Xotic Steel Rhythms Xotic Steel Rhythms "I booked Xotic Steel Rhythms for our drinks reception and they were perfect so entertaining and accommodating with all our requests including the dress code and song selection that included last min song requests" Based in London, England (354 miles from Stirling) James - Wedding drinks reception Photo of Encrypted LOVE Encrypted LOVE "Encrypted Love Indra has been performing at Plugged In Switched On for several years now and she is one of the most accomplished and talented musicians I have had the pleasure of working with. She is very professional and organised and always gets to the venue in good time for her performance, sound check or whatever. She has a way of making any song her own and breathing new life into them usually with an Encrypted Love twist in the tail. She has a very natural way with audiences and soon has them eating out of her hand. In short Indra is a professional artist / entertainer of the highest caliber and I do not hesitate to recommend her to any person or organisation that might have need of her services." Based in London, England (354 miles from Stirling) Iain Houston - Plugged In Switched On Photo of Le Groupe Moon Le Groupe Moon "The band Moon was amazing! We wanted to mark the occasion and surprise our guests with a rock concert for our wedding. The band's set list perfectly matched our expectations and the exchanges with Romain were fluid to allow us to organize this evening at best. The band made a sensation with our guests and we can't wait to find a new occasion to see them perform again." Based in Compiègne, Hauts-de-France, France (542 miles from Stirling) Cam & Ben - November 2022 - Private Wedding
