W!RED were absolutely fantastic at our wedding. So many of our guests commented on how brilliant they were. A great mix of songs, all performed to perfection. Good communication in the build up to the event and they worked to the timings we needed for our day without any issues. Such a great sound, we had so much fun - thank you W!RED!

From the first communication with them until the end, they were very professional and friendly. Nothing was too much trouble. On the actual night, their performance was outstanding, so many of my guests commented on how good they were. My whole experience with the band was amazing and I would definitely use them again. Thanks W!RED for making my night, I will remember forever 😊

When we were looking for the band for our wedding, we wanted a band that had a wide variety of songs from different eras in their repertoire with the ability to perform big powerful ballads and that is exactly what we go with WIRED. As soon as we heard Sue’s incredible voice. We knew they were the band for us and booked them. As soon as we got a couple of months of the wedding I dropped Sue a message. She called me back and was really helpful and reassuring and put me in touch with another member of the band Martin. We arranged a call to go over the details. Martin was friendly and welcoming straight away. Never having booked a band before we didn’t know how much or how little we’d need to be involved, but Martin simply went through a few details with us and then handled the rest. Prior to our wedding Martin took the trouble to edit a pre-recorded dedication. Together with our choice of first dance songs, so that it all went smoothly on the night. He also sent over their set list so we could make some requests. On the night, the band set-up quickly and without fuss and had a playlist on as early as they could to get our guests warmed up. Martin had a quick chat with me about timings for the evening for our cake cutting and first dance, then as soon as that was complete they went straight into their sets and had everyone up on the dance floor for the rest of the night, even finishing with a couple of encores. They were then good enough to leave a playlist running whilst they packed away. Meaning that we had music right up to the end of the evening. Everybody in the band was friendly and helpful. Particularly Martin. That’s not to mention that they are also frankly brilliant at what they do. Sues’s voice is incredible and recordings we heard before as good as they are don’t do it justice. Many guest commented on how much they enjoyed the performance. They even got the seal of approval from a few people I know who are musically hard to please. A brilliant night, enhanced by WIRED. We would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone

AMAZING! We changed our plans from having a DJ to a band with 1 week to go for our wedding in June 2021! Me and my Husband have incredibly different tastes in music so was very skeptical about selecting a band! As soon as I sent a request, Phil was straight on the phone, talking us through all the details and immediately made me feel confident about our choice! I even tried my luck at asking them to sing our first dance song.. within a week they learnt it and performed it at the wedding and It was just incredible! Every single wedding guest commented how brilliant the band were! From start of the set to the end they were faultless! I can’t recommend them enough!
