We had RIVIA play at our joint 40th and 50th birthday party, and they were absolutely fantastic! Not only were they prompt, reliable, and polite, but their performance was brilliant from start to finish. By the second set, they had everyone on the dance floor, from young children to grandparents.. and the atmosphere was incredible. We couldn’t have asked for more. Many of our guests have already said they’d happily book RIVIA for their own events, and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them.

I had the Gondolas perform at my 21st birthday party and they honestly made the night. As well as their incredible talent and stage presence, they were all very friendly and made detailed, prompt communication (with very special thanks to Ben). They made a lot of fans that night including me and I would highly recommend to anyone who wants a brilliant, versatile band to bring their function to life. Best of wishes for everything ahead of you and I hope to see you all again soon.

Yes! We have 2 singers - Rosh and Matt and both sing lead vocals and harmonies. The line up is exactly as mentioned in our profile.

We usually set up about 1 to 1.5 hours before the performance time. As soon as our PA is set up we can provide a free playlist service to help set the atmosphere and get your guests ready for our live performance!

Can I pick the songs you play from the set list?

Yes, of course. Our set lists are crafted from countless performances and learning what works best to ensure guests dance and have an amazing time. However, we're definitely happy to chat through and make sure we find what works for your event and perform special requests.
