5 stars - Kind Of Two are Highly Recommended
Jordan T booked Kind Of Two for their wedding in Cambridgeshire • July 2026

“Kind of Two played during our wedding drinks reception and they were absolutely fantastic. They arrived in plenty of time, had everything set up before our guests arrived, and from the moment they started playing they created exactly the atmosphere we were hoping for. The music was beautiful, never overpowering, but added so much to the afternoon while everyone was chatting and enjoying a drink...”“Kind of Two played during our wedding drinks reception and they were absolutely fantastic. They arrived in plenty of time, had everything set up before our guests arrived, and from the moment they started playing they created exactly the atmosphere we were hoping for. The music was beautiful, never overpowering, but added so much to the afternoon while everyone was chatting and enjoying a drink. What really stood out was how well they read the room. They had an incredible feel for the occasion and even improvised the end of a song perfectly so an announcement could be made without it feeling awkward or forced. It’s one of those little details that shows how experienced they are. We’ve had so many friends and family comment on how brilliant they were and how much they added to the day. They were the perfect finishing touch to our drinks reception, and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking for live music for their wedding.” Read more

Justine C booked Outline Trio for their wedding in Hertfordshire • June 2026

“The band were excellent. I took a while to choose them on line listening to the examples and it was worth it as they were exactly what we wanted for our son’s wedding. Ryan took the time to introduce himself before the event and we sorted small details by phone. They were prompt, smart and the music was really fun and livened the atmosphere perfectly.
