Absolutely fantastic!

5 stars - Northern Star are Highly Recommended
booked Northern Star for their Wedding in Cumbria October 2023

“Northern Star were absolutely incredible! They performed our first dance song and it was done perfectly. From start to finish they had everyone on the dance floor, the songs they played were brilliant and we loved listening to them all night. We had so many people compliment the band, I would highly recommend them and we just wish we could watch them play all over again!”


They made our day so much better!

5 stars - Northern Star are Highly Recommended
booked Northern Star for their Wedding in Hertfordshire October 2023

“Northern Star were absolutely incredible throughout our wedding day. To begin with they were due to play 2 30 minute acoustic sets, however, we were running a bit late so they were extremely accommodating and played a full hour for us during the reception. Throughout the day they were so happy to help, and super friendly! The evening was beyond our wildest dreams - they got people dancing all night and they were so much fun! Even adding in extra songs and changing the lyrics to our names - we have had so many compliments about the band! If you are unsure who to book, look no further than Northern Star!!”

booked Northern Star for their Wedding in East Sussex July 2023

“These guys were absolutely brilliant! They played our first dance just as we wanted them to - starting slow and then rocking out to the Arctic Monkeys! Their song choices were fantastic and kept everyone on the dance floor all evening. We had an absolute blast and couldn't recommend them enough! Wonderful musicians and so much fun!”


If you want your wedding dance floor packed all night, this is who you need!!!

5 stars - Northern Star are Highly Recommended
booked Northern Star for their Wedding in Northumberland July 2023

“We couldn't be more pleased with our choice of the Northern Star as the band for our wedding on the 22nd July 2023 in Northumberland (a Swedish-English fusion wedding)!!! - The band was so professional, warm, calm and seamlessly blending in during communications, preparations leading up to our event and setting up before we arrived at the venue and packing up at the end. Never any gaps or awkward moments and really crisp sound throughout. - Their 2x30min (generous 30min) acoustic duo set was the perfect choice to set the atmosphere for the night during arrival mingles and canapés. - They are such comfortable and amazingly skilled musicians rocking instruments like banjo, mandolin, double bass, drums, violin, guitar, flute etc. (we added banjo and violin to the trio to have a five piece band, which is impossible to evaluate if necessary, but they were great together) and could therefore follow the flow of the dance floor rocking a Cotton Eye Joe longer as the whole wedding party w...”
