“Funkytown was the day's highlight when they played our wedding (other than marrying my wife, obviously). They played two amazing, eclectic and funky sets that got the party well and truly started! We had so many compliments from our guests for the quality and energy that the band brought to the evening. We want to thank them for being a part of our special day and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for an awesome foot-stomping night! Also, Thanks for playing our requested song, Cher - Believe (sorry not sorry).”

“Funkytown performed amazingly at our wedding last weekend. During the run up they were helpful, professional and flexible. Most importantly on the night they got everyone on the dance floor and everyone commented on how fantastic the band were. They have a wide repertoire and skillfully made each song their own. Would highly recommend!”

The whole band were great. Their DJ sets in between and following were just what we wanted as well. One of the singers came to congratulate my wife and I in person after their set as well, which was a nice touch. I can't recommend Funkytown highly enough. The live music was one of the biggest financial outlays on our wedding day, so we were nervous about our guests enjoying it, but they were worth every penny. Loads of our guests were raving about them afterwards, and th...”


All of our guests loved them, everyone was up dancing
