Couldn't have a better wedding band

5 stars - Season are Highly Recommended
booked Season for their wedding in Oxfordshire July 2025

“On time, polite, very professional. A 'proper' wedding supplier who turned up, made a party and left without bothering anybody. Always tricky filling a summer evening dancefloor, but eventually our guests couldn't resist coming inside and dancing because the music was so good.”


Everybody said they were the best wedding band they’d seen

5 stars - The Upstarts are Highly Recommended
booked The Upstarts for their wedding in Durham July 2025

“If you like the setlist don’t even bother to keep looking, these guys are the one. Professional, amazing setlist, incredible sound, and genuinely great with the crowd, multiple people said they were the best wedding band they’d seen. The additional saxophonist was incredible too, thoroughly recommend”

Outstanding festival band

5 stars - Dirty Weekend are Highly Recommended
booked Dirty Weekend for their event in Pembrokeshire July 2025

“Dirty Weekend rose to the challenge of the headline slot and exceeded expectations. They didn’t just play music—they created a festival moment. Whether you were in the mosh-pit or chilling at the edges, their energy was contagious. Edge Festival’s volunteer-run, community ethos also shone through during their set: locals, families, and returning festival-goers alike seemed to bond in shared app...”
