Don’t just take our word for it

They played so well at our wedding that a load of guests started dancing to their sound check 🤣 They were absolutely fantastic! Soooo many guests said how good they were ❤️ I’ll never get over how they just learned the song we wanted for our first dance 🤣 They had everyone up on the dance floor, the music choice was spot on, interacted with the kids, everything was perfect. When they played our first dance song was a really special and sweet moment, then the evening was really really fun. They were super professional and helped make a perfect day perfect. Also their yellow van is very cool 😎

FAQ

When you book us, you’ll get at least two hours of live music (and sometimes we run over – we love going above and beyond!). We provide a free DJ playlist service, and for weddings, we play your first dance. We bring a custom light show and our standard performance time runs until 12 a.m., but start times are always flexible to suit your venue.

We’re a fully roaming, wireless band (apart from the drummer!), so we interact with your guests and create special, unforgettable moments. Gone are the days of bands tucked in a corner – we’re there with you and your guests, making the day lively and memorable.

Absolutely! We offer a range of extras to make your event perfect. Our “Build Your Day” tool lets you explore all the options, from acoustic daytime performances to full show packages.

We’ll travel as far as necessary! Our quotes usually cover events within a 45-minute radius of our headquarters, but we can travel further. Any additional travel costs are kept as low as possible, and we’ll always discuss them with you in advance.

Every event is different, depending on location, setup times, package, and extras. The best way to get an estimate is to use our custom Build Your Day tool, which gives a rough idea of costs. After that, we can sit down with you and finalise everything, so you know exactly what’s included.

Yes – to secure your date, we require a 20% deposit. You can check your date using our availability calendar. The final balance is usually due about five weeks before the event.

Yes! Our standard method is bank transfer, but we can also accept credit cards (1.5% fee to cover the provider) or Klarna for instalment payments. We can create a flexible plan to pay in chunks if that works best for you.

On average, setup takes about one hour for our standard four-piece band, including soundcheck. The earlier we can arrive, the better – but we work closely with your venue and planners to ensure setup doesn’t disrupt your event. If there are any delays, we can often set up behind the scenes so everything is ready when the party starts

We regularly play at The Live Lounge and The Brewhouse in Cardiff. Brewhouse shows happen three times a year, and Live Lounge events are usually every few months. It’s a great way to see us in action before your big day.

We have a pre-programmed setlist with custom light shows, based on years of experience (over 58 weddings in 2025 alone!). While we have a template that works really well, we adapt live depending on the crowd. If there are songs you don’t want, we can swap them. And if you want a copy of our current setlist, we can share it and make adjustments together.

A simple evening buffet for the band is always appreciated. Drinks are optional, as we can sort our own. Most venues already provide food, so it’s usually taken care of. Beyond that, we bring everything needed for the performance, including lights and sound equipment.
