Stallions & The Bear 's Reviews

5 out of 5

Had the band at our wedding back in July 24 and they were brilliant from performing our first dance all the way through to the end of the night. Played a great selection of songs throughout the evening and had all the guests up dancing. I would definitely recommend this band to anyone. The process of hiring the band was easy and no issues at all in the band setting up, all very simple.

Stallions & The Bear played at our Wedding at the end of August 2024 and were excellent. All our guests commented how great they were either on the evening or since. Communications prior to the event are dealt with via the agency who are very helpful and reassuring. Good value and highly recommend. Matt & Lauren

We hired Stallions & The Bear for our wedding in November. I was quite apprehensive about choosing the music as it’s so difficult to choose a great band just going off a short video clip. However, we were so pleased with the band, everyone was up dancing all night and we had so many people tell us how fantastic they were! Highly recommend! Thank you!!

They were actually kept waiting for us which I do apologise for, they are absolutely amazing and I'm very fussy I literally spent weeks listening to bands over and over again and these stuck out to me and they are just as great in person as they are on video. Three very polite and outgoing men. Everybody loved their music and they played a great mixture songs. They made our wedding day a special one. Will definitely be booking them again for our anniversary if they're available.

Me and Sophie just wanted to send a quick email to say how amazing the band were. They were lovely to chat with and their performances were beyond mine and Sophie’s expectations! We are so glad we booked them and even said next time we have some form of event we will definitely book them in again. Please could you pass this over to them. I hope they liked performing at our venue and the crowd/atmosphere made their time enjoyable too. Many Thanks, Phil & Sophie

The Stallions & The Bear played at our 60th birthday party and were excellent - they judged the music really well, were excellent instrumentalists and singers and really nice people to deal with. They made adapted to a small area and I would highly recommend them and would book them again without hesitation
