Reviews of Motown Bands available in United Kingdom

5/5 from 559 reviews
Photo of The Cheers The Cheers "We booked the Cheers Band for our wedding in Bentley on 12 September 2026, and we honestly couldn’t have made a better choice. The communication throughout was absolutely spot on. We had the saxophone and acoustic guitar playing during our drinks reception, and everyone was so impressed — it created such a lovely atmosphere. Later in the evening, the band performed as a six-piece, and they certainly got everyone up on the dancefloor! The energy was fantastic, and they really helped make our wedding evening so memorable. We can’t thank Ben and the whole band enough for everything. They were brilliant from start to finish, and we would highly recommend the Cheers Band to anyone looking for an amazing wedding/function band! Steve & Jo" Based in Guildford, England 13th October 2026 Steve & Jo - Wedding - September 2026 Photo of The New Mojos The New Mojos "I’d like to live a 5 star review for the New Mojo band fronted by Paul and Jo. They played at my wedding at Hever Castle this last summer and did an excellent job. They traveled all the way from Norfolk to Kent. They didn’t only play but they supported us in other ways through the wedding. They all looked amazing and they played beautifully even if we run out of time due to the wedding running late. I’d like to say a very huge thank you to them from the bottom of my heart." Based in Norwich, England 20th September 2026 Liz - Wedding Photo of D.Banana Band D.Banana Band "We were absolutely thrilled to have this band play at our wedding reception! We requested reggae love songs because my partner and I both love old school reggae and their reggae rhythms were infectious, everyone was up dancing from the very first song, young and old. They played such a perfect mix of classic and well-loved tunes also. They sounded amazing, and were so professional and friendly throughout .They really made our day feel so special and joyful, we can’t recommend them enough! Thank you for giving us such wonderful memories." Based in London, England 8th August 2026 Jaslyn E. - Wedding Photo of Miss Motown Miss Motown "Tracy is a very talented singer and a lovely person.Tracy will go out of her way to accommodate your occasion. We use Tracy two or three times a year. I would definitely recommend Tracy for events." Based in Colchester, England 10th June 2026 Karen Clarke - Private Booking Photo of Justin Holcroft Justin Holcroft "Justin’s performance was intimate and stunning at the same time. Great communication, very effective preparation and coverage by someone who can play the sax, from Jazz, swing to lounge and bar background music. We would highly recommend Justin to anyone interested in high-quality, paired with a down-to-earth mindset and to-the-point delivery." Based in Audley, England 27th May 2026 Axel Dewitz - Birthday Celebration, Reception Photo of Nina Hewlett Nina Hewlett "'We really enjoyed listening to Nina. She really engaged with the audience & sang a great selection of songs from 50s, 60s & 70s. Our residents all left smiling & saying how much they enjoyed it. Would highly recommend! We hope to see Nina again soon!' Sara Connor ~ Wellbeing & Activity Coordinator Eastbourne Gardens Care Home" Based in Eastbourne, England 13th April 2026 Sara Connor - Eastbourne Gardens Care Home
