The best wedding band, would give 10 stars if we could!
Matt B booked The Modern Way for their Wedding in Hampshire
“We were reluctant to have a band for the evening reception of our wedding but when we saw these guys a year before we just had to have them. They were professional and easy to deal with from the initial contact a few weeks before through to them leaving after the event. They turned up on time and set up discreetly without getting in the way of any guests. We had asked them to run the night for us, introduce cake cutting, first dance etc and they did this brilliantly and had everything under control. We were nervous about not having too much choice in their set list but we should have had more faith as they read the room and had people up dancing all night. The lead singer comes out into the crowd, walks around the room, gets people up. They are all clearly very talented musicians and people haven't stopped talking about how good they were and the wedding was 2 weeks ago!
