The Wild Sons
"Wow… where to start! One word INCREDIBLE.
Booking The Wild Sons was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. From the acoustic day performance until the very last song, the energy they brought was absolutely incredible. The dance floor was packed all night, and they created the kind of atmosphere we’d always dreamed of. They had everyone up dancing and singing along.
We’ve lost count of how many people have told us they were the best wedding band they’ve ever seen. So many of our guests have asked for their name because they were so impressed!
Not only are they phenomenally talented musicians, but they were also so friendly and professional throughout the whole process. Alun made everything feel effortless, allowing us to relax and enjoy every second of the day.
If you’re looking for a band that will keep the dance floor full, bring incredible energy, and leave your guests talking about your wedding for ages to come, look no further. The Wild Sons were genuinely one of the highlights of our entire day, and we couldn’t have imagined celebrating without them.
Thank you for giving us the most unforgettable entertainment - we will be talking about it for the rest of our lives! 🤘🏽🤍"
The Strip Lights
"Have seen The Strip Lights a couple of times before and hired them for a recent party. Brilliant musicians and everyone loved their music. Almost all 70+invites made it on to the dance floor including a couple in their early 80's. Fabulous night and they were excellent at communicating before the event too. Thanks guys! Lynda"
The Session Band
"We hired The Session Band for our wedding in Devon. They were brilliant throughout the whole process from enquiry, to booking, to performing. Before the booking, they also gave us other options to add on if we wanted. Once we booked, they sent over their website with their library of songs. We picked a few we liked and they then built their set from that. They also agreed to play our first dance song that we requested. The band were great when they arrived and were accommodating with us as we were slightly behind schedule. Our guests absolutely loved the band and we had so many positive comments from them. In between the band sets we also went for the DJ and Saxophone option, which were great at getting people dancing towards the end of the night. Overall a brilliant experience and I’d recommend them to anyone looking for a wedding band."
Funk & Fable
"We couldn’t be happier with Funk and Fable — they were absolutely fantastic from start to finish! They went above and beyond by learning two special songs just for us, which meant so much and made the day even more memorable. They arrived fully prepared, brought all their own equipment, and set everything up seamlessly without any hassle. At one point, we even put them on the spot with a song request they hadn’t prepared, and they still pulled it off brilliantly — it turned into one of the most unforgettable moments of the day. They were also amazing with the kids, even surprising them with a little 'Frozen' performance that had everyone smiling. Truly professional, talented, and thoughtful — we’re so grateful they were part of our day."
Cat's Claw Ceilidh Band
"Wow, what a wonderful evening! Last Friday night was so much fun and it was such a real pleasure to collaborate with you all at Cat's Claw. It was a magical night and it was lovely to see the two worlds of music come together so successfully. Our musicians from the BBC National Orchestra of Wales very much enjoyed working with you all and it was great to hear that you too all had a great time. I also think that from the audience's reaction that everyone who was present also very much enjoyed the evening. In particular, my Mum absolutely LOVED the evening and was blown away by hearing all of the music that she loves so much played so brilliantly! Sincere thanks for your invaluable contribution to such a special evening celebrating St David's Day."
MONICO
