Photo of The Up & Up The Up & Up "Just wanted to say thank you again to the band. We had so many people say how great you were. You really made the event!" Based in Colchester, England (16 miles from Ipswich) Alison - Wickfest Photo of Acacia Road Acacia Road "e recently had the pleasure of booking Acacia Road for our wedding, and I can confidently say they were the best decision we made for our special day. From the moment we contacted them, the professionalism and enthusiasm from their team were evident. They took the time to understand our vision and catered to our musical preferences, which made the planning process seamless and enjoyable. On the day of the wedding, Acacia Road truly brought their A-game. Their performance was nothing short of spectacular. The band had an incredible energy that instantly set the mood, getting our guests on their feet and dancing the night away. Their repertoire is diverse, covering a wide range of genres that catered to all our guests, from classic hits to modern favourites. The vocalists were remarkably talented, and the instrumentalists were top-notch, creating a fullbodied sound that filled the venue beautifully. One of the highlights was their ability to read the room. They tailored their setlist based on the energy and vibe of our guests, ensuring that the dance floor was always packed. At one point, they even took requests, which really made our guests feel involved and added a personal touch to the evening. Moreover, the band’s professionalism was evident throughout the evening. They arrived early to set up, coordinated seamlessly with our wedding coordinator, and were adaptable to any changes we requested. Their friendly demeanour made them a joy to work with, helping to alleviate any wedding-day stress. In summary, Acacia Road exceeded all our expectations. They transformed our reception into an unforgettable celebration filled with laughter and dancing. If you're looking for an amazing band to create lasting memories at your wedding, I wholeheartedly recommend Acacia Road. They are truly the best choice we could have made, and we are so grateful for the incredible experience they provided!" Based in Braintree, England (29 miles from Ipswich) Dawn Perry - Wedding Photo of The Last Broadcast The Last Broadcast "Just had these guys perform at our wedding & they're an absolutely fantastic band, professional, & had great feedback from our guests. Highly recommend & wouldn't hesitate booking them again. Thank you for making our special day complete :)" Based in Lowestoft, England (38 miles from Ipswich) 9th April 2026 Stephani Dashwood - Wedding Photo of Catch 22 Catch 22 "Just wanted to say a big thank you for playing at our wedding. You were brilliant, really gave our evening a great atmosphere and all my guests said what a great time they had and what a great band! Really made our wedding day special and some great memories to treasure. Cant thank you or praise you highly enough. I have posted a message on your website recommending you. Not only that but your communication and help before hand was great and much appreciated. I have absolutely no complaints. You were all so professional and friendly. Many Many thanks Marie and Jody Watson" Based in Norwich, England (40 miles from Ipswich) 13th April 2026 Marie and Jody Watson - Catch 22. Photo of Biker Band Biker Band "The Kings’ regulars are probably the luckiest people in Lincolnshire, maybe even the East Midlands! Not only do they have fabulous hosts in Richard and Sharon, they also provide the best music free of charge every weekend and they don’t come much better than the Bikers Band wherever you may go. Quiet and staid does not exist in their vocabulary, Mister-Pink is power funk, rock and blues at its very best covering the likes of Cream, Jimi Hendrix and The Rolling Stones but also mixing in their own songs in a seamless blend of quality entertainment. I asked Simon for his set list after the gig and do you know what the response was? “What set list? We just play what the audience like!” Believe me there are not many bands that can make such a confident statement. How many encores did we have? I lost count, the holiday weekend busy bar wanted more so The Bikers Band duly provided. Of course we must not forget the superb bass playing of Jules and Balding Bloke was in his element sound engineering when the drummer let rip with a storming drum solo. I don’t know what they feed them on in Norfolk however it seems to be an excellent diet for drummers! Now here’s a teaser for you…whilst we were clearing up afterwards I happened to mention that he’d forgotten to use his harmonica. That was it, straight to his kit and “Not Fade Away” commenced, The bassist struck up his acoustic guitar and the remaining customers and bar staff all immediately broke into song…Most likely we won’t see these guys again until next year, that’s going to be an awful long wait for many of us! ~ gig reviewer - Lincolnshire Press" Based in Norwich, England (40 miles from Ipswich) John Blading - Music Venue Photo of One Track Mind One Track Mind "Excellent night of music, well done boys knocked it out the park as usual" Based in Billericay, England (43 miles from Ipswich) Lee M

Standard performance times for rock bands are two to three hours, typically split into sets with breaks. Rock performances tend to be louder and more energetic than other genres, so it is worth confirming volume levels and any venue restrictions when making an enquiry. Set formats can usually be adjusted to suit the event.

Most rock bands are experienced at adjusting their volume to suit different settings. Many carry equipment that allows them to control sound levels without losing energy. It is a good idea to discuss any venue noise restrictions with the band before booking.
