We were so pleased Alex and the guys could join us in Cape Town — it meant the world to us. All the guests were blown away. Every single request was met!" Based in Milton Keynes, England 21st April 2026 Jim - Wedding — Cape Town, South Africa Photo of The NeoRoots Function Band The NeoRoots Function Band "We hired the NeoRoots for our wedding and would definitely do it again. The performance, song choice, reading the room and crowd were so excellent that they ended up skipping their well deserved break between sets to keep playing and even kept on going after the agreed time. We had just under 100 people at our wedding and everyone loved them and danced to their songs for hours on end. The live performance was just excellent and you could see that they love what they do. I can not recommend them enough and if I ever have a big function I will definitely book them again. Thank you NeoRoots for our lovely evening hand great party."
