Kenneth hired The Gallivants for a Wedding (available in Bexley)
"They were great. They gathered with us at the beginning point and led (followed our dragon) through the town. They were very stoic as it was incredibly windy but they just kept on playing. They created a very good atmosphere in the town."
Alice hired Les Zoings for a Bar / Club / Venue event (available in Bexley)
"Take a Chance on Queen were brilliant from beginning to end. Chloe was responsive and good at communicating beforehand - they were happy to perform our first dance song which was great! On the day they arrived on time and just set themselves up which was great. We booked them for 3 sets - 1 party hits and 2 ABBA and Queen. All were fantastic! Everyone was up on their feet dancing. They not only sung and danced really well, with a good likeness to ABBA + Freddie but also kept the audience engaged really well. They were also helpful with other ad hoc stuff on the night like connecting to the speakers. 100% would recommend - we had so much fun!"

What entertainment should I have at a wedding?

For the cocktail hour (or drinks reception), musicians such as jazz bands, acoustic duos or saxophonists, can provide a more upbeat ambience whilst still allowing for conversation amongst guests. Last but not least, for the evening party, you want musicians who can keep the dance floor full. Our Wedding and Party Bands give engaging, lively performances, or you can opt for a Wedding DJ who can create seamless playlists perfect for guests of all ages and tastes. For something a little bit different, consider Ceilidh Bands, a more unique, interactive form of entertainment or Soul and Motown bands, a timeless and classy option for couples who want something a bit more unique.
