“There are literally thousands of wedding bands you can choose from for your big day so how do you decide between them? Let us help you narrow down your list by introducing you to the top 10 in wedding bands and live music. This is based on experience, ability and countless reviews from happy couples!”
The Indie Killers
“The Indie Killers were absolutely amazing! The atmosphere was electric and it was like our own private gig. Every single person was on the dance floor (including my disabled Nan spinning around in her wheelchair) and the set list couldn’t have been more perfect.” (Leanne & Tom on The Indie Killers)
“If we are curating a list of the best wedding bands in the UK then it simply has to begin with The Indie Killers. These guys are more just a wedding band. They are an anomaly to your archetypal live music outfit and have one of the most exciting live show experiences around. Also, they are a little bit bonkers! ”
“The boys have the uncanny ability to make any wedding feel like a thrilling private concert, with an emphasis on crowd participation and relentless energy both on and off stage! With hundreds and hundreds of 5 star reviews from couples, our advice would be to snatch them up early as they are one of the most in demand acts in the country.”
Gentlemen Of The Road
“We found Gentlemen Of The Road and were drawn to their style and look. They were pretty much the first band that made our shortlist. We kept coming back to them as they felt right for the type of music we wanted… it was the right choice!” (Becky & Nick on Gentlemen Of The Road)
“Planning a boho or festival themed wedding? Gentlemen Of The Road are one of the best festival themed wedding bands in the country with both a Mumford & Sons style folk set and a full on party set to kick things up a gear.”
“In Britain, the general public go crazy over festival season, and the trend for weddings is only getting more and more popular. This Surrey based 4 piece both look and sound the part for amazing festival wedding music.”
RIOT!
“The dance floor was constantly full of people dancing and having a great time. RIOT! really were the icing on the cake for our wedding.” (Ben & Kirsty on RIOT!)
“Often described as the wedding band for music lovers or musicians so if you fancy yourself as a real music connoisseur (or music snob like us) then your wedding entertainment should reflect this.”
“If you frequently go to watch live bands then you may have high expectations for your live wedding band. RIOT! are the real thing and stop at nothing to provide a rocking and memorable live show.”
Soulfire
“To be honest we thought they would be good but even we cannot take credit for how amazing they were, we were very lucky with our choice and only wish we could see them again!” (Suzy & James on Soulfire)
“Soulfire ooze style. Class, fluidity, flare and finesse are part of bands DNA and they have the coolest set list with a mix of soul classics and upbeat pop or R&B dance floor fillers.”
“Their fresh take on the typical soul band model with an infusion of young and talented musicians makes them a unique offering and one of the top bands of this style around.”
The Jacks
“Amazing music, real atmosphere, everyone dancing with us! They made us feel special!” (Kathryn & Kas on The Jacks)
“The night of your wedding should feel special, and Gloucestershire wedding band The Jacks know this.”
“Aside from being amazing musicians, The Jacks are a band that look after you. Their years of experience mean that everything they do is centred around making your wedding party the best night of your life!”
Anthem
“A lot of our guests have commented on how brilliant Anthem were, there was not one person off the dance floor! They also introduced our family and friends to our dancing talents by staging a dance off between bride and groom!” (Carrie & Lloyd on Anthem)
“Anthem have got all the moves. During their live show you will see an abundance of antics, fun and games!”
“Your wedding entertainment should never be a boring affair and Anthem are the perfect antidote for a lifeless room. Their infectious energy and enthusiasm guarantees an unforgettable performance.”
The Kickstarts
“All we ever wanted for our evening was a full dance floor with everyone having fun. The band made sure the party went on all night and everyone told us they were the best band they had heard. We couldn’t have asked for a better band for our wedding and will remember it forever.” (Rebecca & Neil on The Kickstarts)
“Creating memories is what good bands do. The best bands however are the ones that create memories that last forever.”
“This Cheshire based rock & pop trio simply sound amazing and will have your guests in the palm of their hand in an instant!”
Kings Of The Dancefloor
“We both agree that the best single moment of the whole day was when the band had arrived, singing Don’t Look Back in Anger, with all of our family and friends circling us as we rocked side to side…” (Jessica & Dominic on Kings Of The Dancefloor)
“There is a very good reason that this band is named as such. Filling a dance floor isn’t something everybody can do but Kings of the Dancefloor don’t rest until every guest is busting moves!”
“This 4 piece from Lancashire have years of experience under their belts making them one of the top North West wedding bands available.”
The Mixtape
“We go to a lot of gigs and we really wanted to create that kind of atmosphere at our reception, The Mixtape did exactly that” (Holly & Charlie on The Mixtape)
“Many couples will have an image in their heads of how they want their party to go. Finding the right wedding entertainment to achieve this is where Sussex based The Mixtape come in.”
“These guys have a monster of a set list from the 60’s all the way up to present day. Their versatility means that whatever kind of night you want, The Mixtape can provide it.”
Friends Of The Bride
“We have never had so much fun dancing at a wedding and I know we’re biased but so many of our wedding guests have commented on the energy (and insanity) of the dance floor!” (Emily & Seb on Friends Of The Bride)
“The latest hits, the craziest dancefloors and incredible musicianship. Friends Of The Bride are one of the most experienced Northern party bands on the circuit.”
“These guys are consisteuthorntly exceeding the highest of expectations so make sure you don’t miss out!”
