Riptide - Felt like family

5 stars - Riptide are Highly Recommended
booked Riptide for their wedding in Kent August 2025

“We had Riptide play at our wedding at Preston Court and they were absolutely phenomenal. From start to finish, they brought such incredible energy to the night — the dance floor was full, the music was spot-on, and every single guest was raving about them. What really stood out was how genuine the guys are. They didn’t just perform and disappear; they got involved with our guests, chatted with ...”


Phenomenal Performance

5 stars - The Upstarts are Highly Recommended
booked The Upstarts for their wedding in Northumberland August 2025

“Having The Upstarts as our wedding band was a major highlight of our day. Their communication leading up to the day was fantastic and their commitment to the performance was demonstrated on the night; they had even learned a song we had requested especially for the evening. We were blown away by not only what a skilled group of musicians they are, but the lead vocals were incredible - meaning we...”

5 stars - The Arcadias are Highly Recommended
booked The Arcadias for their wedding in Hampshire August 2025

“We had the absolute pleasure of having The Arcadias perform at our wedding, and they completely blew us away. From the moment they started playing, the energy in the room went through the roof! They nailed the perfect mix of our personal song requests and classic party anthems, all with their own signature rock edge. Not only are they incredibly talented musicians, but they also know how to rea...”


Loved every song

5 stars - The Kicks are Highly Recommended
booked The Kicks for their wedding in Carmarthenshire August 2025

“We loved having The Kicks as our wedding band and are very grateful they travelled so far to our venue. Having seen the band at a friend’s wedding previously we knew they were amazing and were delighted when they did such brilliant sets for us and kept the dance floor busy, which was very important to us :-) Communication with the band in the lead up to the event was great, they gave us grea...”


Absolutely amazing!! We wish they’d played for twice as long!

5 stars - Drive are Highly Recommended
booked Drive for their wedding in Manchester August 2025

“Drive were INCREDIBLE! We’re both really into music so struggled to choose a wedding band, but Drive were absolutely amazing. We had so many guests say how good they were and ask how we’d found them. My partner used to play in a band and they got us both up on the stage at one point for a song, and it was an absolute highlight of our wedding. We wish they’d played for four hours instead of two, pr...”

Excellent Band. Great Entertainers

5 stars - The Upstarts are Highly Recommended
booked The Upstarts for their wedding in Northumberland August 2025

“The Upstarts were one of a number of "great investments" for our wedding day celebrations. Their professional approach throughout the evening accompanied by their friendly and enthusiastic rapport with us and our guests made then an invaluable part of what made our wedding celebrations so special. As a set of musicians they perform with great enthusiasm, a playlist with something for everyone in i...”


AMAZING!

5 stars - Get On Up are Highly Recommended
booked Get On Up for their wedding in Berkshire August 2025

“Get On Up were the perfect band for our wedding. They were communicative in the run up and absolutely nailed the two set ups at our venue. Their acoustic set was so chilled and a great way to keep the afternoon light for our drinks reception, and WOW do they know how to make a party pop! Thank you so much to Jay for leading such a wonderful bunch of musicians and to all 4 of the boys for just be...”
