We used Bands for hire to get a band to play at our wedding in 2021. We can't thank them enough as they made this really easy and stress free. The band we hired 'The Audiotones' were absolutely fantastic and kept the dance floor full all night. I would not hesitate to use Bands for hire again. Great service!

We used Bands for Hire to find a band to play our wedding. The whole process was incredibly smooth, without fuss and they passed on all our requests to the band, including playing our first dance. The band themselves - Tailor & Co - were brilliant. All of our guests commented on how good they were and the dance floor was always full.
We'd highly recommend using these guys for any events you have planned and we'd definitely use them again.

Honestly all 10s! They made the evening so memorable and hyped everyone up and had everyone dancing all night. Tailor & co were so lovely and friendly too which was really reassuring and relaxing and were happy to announce sparklers and bouquet throwing too. Tailor & co learnt our first dance song especially for it despite it not being in their repertoire and it was perfect. We couldn’t have asked for a better band to sing at our wedding! They arrived when we expected and set up with no issues. Communication was wonderful and they put us at ease all night. We couldn’t have asked for anything

The Beats Roots put on an incredible performance - it made our day. They were not only talented musicians, but had a warm and welcoming nature which made everyone feel at ease and thoroughly enjoy their evening. We loved the handful of songs which encouraged everyone to the floor too! They adapted to our requests regarding first dance/father daughter dance with such professionalism. Our heartfelt thanks to the whole band - you made our evening so special and completely perfect.

We hired Jukebox Nation from Bands for Hire for our wedding in December. Bands For Hire were easy to deal with and provided good communication up to the big day. Jukebox Nation were fantastic on the day, they arrived in good time and set up their equipment promptly and without fuss. They put on a fantastic show and had everybody up on the dancefloor all night. They also played our first dance which was excellent. We had a great night and couldn't have asked for anything more. Would definitely recommend to anybody looking for a band for a special occasion.

We've just had our wedding day and used Bands For Hire to book our pianist. They were excellent from start to finish and I'd highly recommend using them for your wedding. It's a bit of a minefield trying to know who to use and who to trust but rest assured these guys will look after you and you won't be disappointed. Thanks again for your help.

The Matchsticks were absolutely incredible and we’ve been inundated with messages from everyone saying how much they loved the music and asking for the band’s details to be passed on. The vocals were exceptional, every song sounded like the original! We feel very lucky to have had them play for us while we still could because they are surely destined for the big stage very soon. It was the best night and they kept everyone partying and dancing until the very last moment. Thanks so much! Chloe & Andy 04/12/21

The Beat Roots were such a lovely band! Attentive and professional. Everyone loved them at our wedding. Deffo recommend them if you are looking for a wedding band that knows what people like.

Version One were great, they were very professional and flexible. Their music was brilliant and although we were an intimate wedding, they gave a performance like it was for hundreds. Everyone loved the music and played a variety of decades and genres, which suited everyone’s taste. Would well recommend them to anyone!
Bands for hire were a top agency, happy to be adaptable in these difficult times.
