Reviews of Bands & Ensembles

String Musicians London
"I completely recommend this group! I am a musician myself so I hired a string quartet for my older brother’s wedding. I didn’t expect this level of professionalism and talent. My family loved it and are super thankful. I will surely be booking them again. Thank you so much"

Oliver
The Hot Four
"Amazing experience from start to finish. The band were the best we’ve ever seen at an event, everyone was so complimentary - please pass on our huge thanks, made our wedding perfect!"

Leon - 60th Birthday
The 80s Band
"Such a brilliant night at the newly named ' Love shack'😆 Guys, you were amazing. I loved seeing so many people having so much fun, it was great❤️❤️"

Lorraine Roberts - Theatre
The WeegieBeats
"Graeme and his team were a perfect accompaniment to our wedding at the Secret Herb Garden, providing us with reception music and a full evening of dancing and ceilidh. They are a very friendly and charismatic bunch, teaching us ceilidh with lots of humour and were great at running the evening’s entertainment leaving bride and groom to relax and socialise. They provide an extensive set list of music from all decades, from which you can pick specific songs or ask for a certain flavour of music. Would fully recommend for any wedding or social event!"
29th March 2025
Tom & Apple - Private Wedding
Niko Band

Frequently asked questions

You should always check whether or not your act is prepared to play outdoors. It’s sometimes not possible for acts that use a lot of electronic equipment to perform anywhere where it might rain.If the act is happy to perform outdoors you should plan to have electrical outlets close to the performance area and provide a flat surface as well as a cover in case of rain.
Each event is different but the typical performance time for bands & ensembles is 2 x 45 minutes sets within a 2 hours period. Some acts are happy to play longer sets or additional sets. Often, breaks can be negotiated but you should be aware that the price may increase if the musicians need to be onsite for a longer period of time.
Booking bands & ensembles as early as possible increases the chance of securing their availability on your event date, particularly during busy times of the year. However, many acts also accept last minute bookings, and we have successfully arranged performances for clients with just a few hours' notice.
Most bands & ensembles are self-contained and provide their own sound equipment which is suitable for typical situations. If your event is to be held in a large venue, or you have more than 300 guests, we recommend that additional sound equipment should be used. Always ask your act about their sound system requirements. Some bands & ensembles have lighting systems, but most usually will charge extra for this or recommend a third party supplier for you to use.
Frequently asked questions about Bands & Ensembles, how to register and how results are ordered are in the help & FAQs.
