Paul Miller, Wedding Event, Anglesey
Top quality! Thoroughly recommend. Thanks for ending the day off with some great music. Paul & Vic

Catherine Ward, Wedding Event, Cumbria
Friends of the Bride played on our wedding day and were absolutely fantastic! The booking process was easy and Matt contacted us 2 weeks prior to the wedding to confirm details. It was extremely refreshing how relaxed he was with the plans including the first dance and any requests we made, it was such a nice change from the hectic wedding preparation. The reception itself couldn't have been better. Friends of the Bride set up and were extremely flexible (as the speeches overran), ensuring Chris and I didn't have to worry about timings at all. The band created the perfect atmosphere for the celebration, playing a great range of floor fillers, they were a hit with us and our guests. Thanks so much Friends of the Bride, it was the perfect celebration for the perfect day. Chris and Cat

Claire Williams, Wedding Event, Flintshire
The lads were brilliant. We had a fantastic evening with great music that got everyone dancing. Professional yet friendly and we loved the dressing up in the photo booth! Thanks for a superb night guys :-)

Jane Seymour, Wedding Event, Cheshire
Warble Entertainment were very efficient and easy to deal with. The booking process was simple and John was very friendly, helpful and polite. The band contacted us prior to the day and went through the running order etc which was really helpful. On the day the band were absolutely fantastic performing 2 brilliant sets and it was one of the highlights of our day. Thanks for making our wedding a day to remember!

Jamie Seymour, Wedding Event, Cheshire
Guys, incredible last night - well done to you all, we loved it! When you burst into Whiskey in the Jar, pitch perfect, after umming and arring whether you could play... EPIC!

Zoe Anthon, Wedding Event, Cheshire
AMAZING!!!!!!! Is the first and only word that pops in to my mind when I think about FoTB playing at our wedding on Fri 8th Feb 2013. There is no doubt about it, they made the evening reception extra special and I have received nothing but praise from our guests about them. They managed to please all age groups even the mother of the bride who was slightly wary when I told her there would be no ABBA at our doo. She hardly left the dance floor along with the majority of our other 100 guests, our only problem was that the dance floor was simply not big enough. I would recommend these guys to anyone who is looking for an awesome night of entertainment with professional & friendly service! Many Many Thanks Matt, Chris & Adam we will be booking you again for any future parties (once I've recovered from this one) x x Just a quick note to Tracey at Warble, thank you for all your help with the booking. Friends of the Bride were absolutely awesome and neither I or any of our guests were disappointed they really were simply brilliant and have given me some great memories of the night which is pretty high praise.

Claire Goff, Wedding Event, Anglesey
Absolutely second to none and loved the dressing up! Brilliant music and lovely people. Thank you guys for a fantastic night - would totally recommend.

Andrew Gough, Wedding Event, Anglesey
Thought you guys were brilliant at my sister's wedding last night. Just wanted to say thank you!

Karel Dole, Wedding Event, Lancashire
Well what can I say!! Friends of the bride where absolutely amazing!! I couldn't of asked for anything more! They made the night extra special and all my guests were very impressed! It was like having our own private gig! Professional and friendly I would definately book them again! Thanks to everyone at Warble and especially the band!

Mark Berry, Wedding Event, North Yorkshire
Hi Tracey, I wanted to leave some feedback for the guys. Myself and all of the guests thought FoTB were great. Booking a band for an event like a wedding, especially when you have no personal recommendations, made me a little nervous given the potential for things to go wrong. However, I thought: your website was excellent giving a selection of bands, with play lists and the video snippets really helped, the booking process and your response to queries was quick and easy, the guys were very professional, turned up on time, responded well to requests from the guests, even spending some time in their van rehearsing an Erasure track they were asked to perform (don't worry I'm not an Erasure fan, it was meant as a joke). Everyone enjoyed the music and playing the motown tracks during the DJ interlude gave the oldies something to get up and dance to. We had a great day and FoTB contributed massively to this! Thankyou

Janine Foerster, Wedding Event, Greater Manchester
Just AMAZING!!! The 2 sets were brilliant and the dance floor was never empty. They even let my cousin hijack the stage! The great thing about this band, apart from their obvious talent, is the fact they DJ between sets too so you don't have to hire anyone else or have a weird lull between sets. The easiest part of our wedding to organise, with the best outcome. Thanks so much. I'd also really like to thank you and Warble. You made what, in theory should be quite a hard part of the wedding to organise, really easy. It's a great service and I will definitely recommended you to friends/family. Thanks again for all your help, Janine.

Mer Muncer, Birthday Party Event, Yorkshire
Thanks very much for playing at my 50th at the Irish Centre Leeds on Friday night. I've had loads of friends asking where I found you! Hope to see you again xx

Finola Doyle, Wedding Event, Nottinghamshire
Friends of the Bride were brilliant! A lovely bunch of guys that are very laid back and easy to deal with, but also professional and courteous. The booking process was easy & Warble were very responsive to my queries. The band were absolutely brilliant at our wedding, giving a really energetic and enthusiastic performance - loads of people commented on how good they were and we were delighted. The acoustic set during the drinks reception was lovely too. Thanks so much guys!!

Kara Milton, Wedding Event, Derbyshire
What a great band!!! They really did make our night :-) thank you.

Emily Taylor, Wedding Event, North Yorkshire
Friends of the Bride were fantastic! We had a fabulous time, the guys played everything from our playlist and more. We would defintely recommend them :-)

Carly Tyson, Wedding Event, Cumbria
We just wanted to say thanks again to Friends of the Bride who played at our wedding in October. They were absolutely fantastic and all the guests had a great time; people didn't want the night to end. They're a really talented bunch and very friendly guys. We would have no hesitation recommending them to anyone else.

Jon Kerrigan, Wedding Event, Lancashire
Thanks again guys for rocking our wedding reception... my feet have only just recovered from the dancing!!! You were Brill!

Laura Harrison, Birthday Party Event, Cheshire
Thank you guys so much for rocking up my birthday party! You were super friendly and seemed to adapt the set list to get EVERYONE up dancing which was awesome! We will definitely be recommending you to our friends in the future!

Rachael Redhead, Wedding Event, Cumbria
The band were amazing, many of our friends and family also commented that they were great. The band definitely helped to make our evening very special. Thank you!

Nicola and Mark Aplin, Wedding Event, Cheshire
You played at our wedding at Capesthorne Hall in Cheshire on Saturday 22nd September and we just wanted to say a massive THANK YOU. We had such an amazing time and every one of our guests keeps telling us how fab the band were. We were so pleased to see the dance floor full for the whole evening, and the fact that most of our guests didn't want the music to stop and could happily have danced all night tells the whole story! We would not hesitate in recommending you to anyone else looking for a fantastic evening reception - we really had so much fun and if we could do it all again, we would. Please feel free to use any of our comments on your website or if you want to ask for any particular feedback, please let us know. Many thanks again.

Sheryl Williams, Wedding Event, Gwynedd
Amazing band! Every single person I've spoken to has commented on these guys! The dance floor was rocking all night and I didn't stop dancing! I now want another party to invite them again!

Paul Brazewell, Wedding Event, Cheshire
We thought that Friends of the Bride were very attentive, professional and flexible to our requirements. All the guests enjoyed them and we felt that they were fantastic.

Matthew Brown and Jenny Bloxham, Wedding Event, Lancashire
We had a great night, thanks in no small part to FOTB! Very professional, sorted themselves out with no problems, and put on a great show that had people dancing until the end and shouting for more! Took requests as well, and even played an encore! Really friendly bunch of guys, and couldn't have asked for anything more. Thanks! Jen and Matt

Emma Clark, Wedding Event, Northumberland
Fabulous service! Fabulous band! Everyone loved them! They made our evening and kept people on the dance floor right until the end of the night! I would highly recommend this band!!

Tom McLaughlin, Wedding Event, Shropshire
The band were fantastic!!! Matt in the lead up to the wedding was great! Always available to chat and run through everything!! Everyone one of our guests commented on how good these guys were!! They had everyone up and dancing the atmosphere was great all night! The only thing is I wish we'd finished our wedding earlier, so we could have had these guys playing longer!! I cannot recommend FOTB enough they were outstanding!!!

Michelle Lines, Wedding Event, Nottinghamshire
We hired Friends of the Bride for our wedding and they certainly lived up to our expectations. They had everyone on the dance floor all night long. In between gigs they provided a disco, there was a song my Father wanted but they didn't have it so they downloaded it straight away for him, which I thought was really good of them.

Vicky and Terry, Wedding Event, Greater Manchester
Friends of the Bride played at our wedding on Sunday 12th August 2012. We can’t praise them enough for their performance! They played mainly modern rock indie with songs from Nirvana to Lady Gaga, which had everyone on the dance floor from the first note to the last. All the guests have said how absolutely brilliant they were and how much fun they had. Huge thank you to Friends of the Bride for making our wedding a night to remember!!

Christina Watson, Wedding Event, Cumbria
Just wanted to say how great Friends of the Bride were at our wedding! The dance floor was full all night and we received so many great comments about the band. Matt and the guys got the party into full swing and even took requests from our friends - thanks for playing Metallica guys! I wouldn't hesitate in recommending Friends of the Bride - I'm hoping some of our friends book you in the future so we can do it all again! :-) x

Simon Townend, Wedding Event, North Yorkshire
If you are sitting deliberating as to whether booking FOTB for your wedding/event is a good idea or not then let me tell you whole heartedly, 100% and without a shadow of a doubt it is! Just book now! FOTB are not only a brilliant live band, they are also a set of the nicest lads you're likely to meet. They played for us at our wedding on 20th July 2012 and I lost count of the number of friends, family and guests that commented on how good they were and asked me where I'd found them! Throughout our contact with them from setting up the song list, to introducing themselves on the day right up to packing up at the end they handled themselves professionally and so politely. The members of the band greeted both me and my wife, introduced us for our first dance and then took to their instruments and delivered a fantastic performance. They got the party going with song after song of well known tunes both new and old, even my Dad got up and then we couldn't get him to sit back down as he did his version of the Mick Jagger strut and his very own 'pizza dance' - don't ask... FOTB ended the night on a quieter song and even called out over the microphone to make sure it was ok to play it, making sure the audience wanted a quiet one as the final song. FOTB accommodated our every wish and exceeded our expectations by far. I'd certainly recommend them to anyone and wish them every success in the future :)

Gary Plumb, Wedding Event, Leicestershire
ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC! From our first e-mail with Matt discussing our preferences, to our first meeting the guys, they were friendly and polite. They took account of what we had asked for and catered for our needs. They came on with 'I Predict a Riot' straight after our first dance... took everyones breath away.... The dance floor was filled from beginning to end!! We have had such positive responses from our friends and family and all say the same thing, best wedding for years, and mainly thanks to the band entertaining everyone all night!! Thank you guys so much, we would recommend you to everyone!

Gary Duff, Wedding Event, West Midlands
You guys rock!!! Everyone said how fantastic you were!! Thanks so much for adding the icing to our cake... We just need to think of another celebration so we can book u all again!! Will recommend u to all! Xx

Jessica Wilson, Wedding Event, Warwickshire
Just wanted to pop by to say thank you so much for blowing the roof off our wedding last night! You guys were awesome and if it wasn't for the venue turning the lights off on us, I'm sure the 3 encores would have continued! You really made our evening a night to remember and our friends definitely enjoyed it! Thanks again! xx

Jess & Luke, Wedding Event, Warwickshire
Hi guys! Thank you so much for playing at our wedding. You were awesome and had the dancefloor filled right up until the third encore! We've already had people saying how good you were and how much they enjoyed the night. Thanks again!

Emma Coward, Wedding Event, Cumbria
Thank you so much! The feedback we had from guests was great... the tracks sounded really fab and although it was only a tiny venue you adapted well and it was brilliant... especially the live performance at the end when everyone was shouting for just one more! Will recommend to many, thanks again, Ian & Emma

Chloe & Pete, Wedding Event, Warwickshire
A massive thank you to Friends of the Bride. We had so many comments about how incredible the band were and the dance floor was packed all night. We just need an excuse for another party so we could have them play again!

Brendan Mckeown, Wedding Event, Greater Manchester
Excellent performance by the Band. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed their two sets. Good variety of songs in their repertoire. Would highly recommend this group for future wedding functions.

Debporah Woods, Wedding Event, Lancashire
The band were brilliant. All the guests commented on how good they were and the dance floor was filled from start to finish. They did a fabulous job with their agreed song list.

Justine Edwards, Wedding Event, Flintshire
Thanks for a fantastic performance at our wedding. The whole service from booking to actual night was efficient and straight forward. I would 100% book you again and recommend you. I was really impressed with the time you gave to perform our first dance and the choice of songs were brilliant and the whole performance as a band just smashed out passion. Awesome, made the night for me.

Jayne Blyth, Wedding Event, Cheshire
A huge thank you to Friends of the Bride! The music was a brilliant selection of songs along with our requests. The dance floor was full at 1:30 in the morning - brilliant! Would highly recommend - fantastic. Thanks guys!

Joanna Spedding, Private Party Event, Cumbria
Absolutely fantastic! I love them! Everybody has commented on how good they were. Definitely recommend them to anybody.

Christine and John Bracken, Wedding Event, Merseyside
Hi Tracey, I was delighted with the bands professionalism and their excellent performance on the night. All my guests commented on how great the band was. I had quick feedback on any queries both for Dan from the band who was very pleasant and cooperative, and from Warble Entertainment. Thank you again for adding to making our day really special and memorable.

Nicola, Wedding Event, Lancashire
Hi Matt, My apologies for not replying sooner but we only got back from honeymoon early this morning. I'm over the moon to be able to give feedback about "Friends of the Bride" as they are a fabulous set of guys and really helped make our wedding reception! I'd be very grateful if you could pass my personal thanks onto them. I also promised I'd pass along any photos I come across of them and will do so as and when I get these back from photographer. Please feel free to use any of my comments for testimonials etc. I can't tell you what a fantastic evening we had! The band totally threw themselves into their set and seemed to enjoy themselves as much as we did. The dance floor was bouncing all evening and (although I'm probably biased!) it was without doubt the best wedding reception I've been to!! I honestly don't think there was a single moment when the dance floor wasn't full and the atmosphere was fantastic. We've had a deluge of comments from family and friends and they seemed to appeal right across the spectrum. They finished to huge cheers and chants of "we want more" to which they very kindly obliged. I'm not sure how long their second set was but I have a feeling it was quite a bit longer than 60 minutes!! I wish them all the best of luck for their future and will definitely be recommending them to anyone looking for a band.

Sara Fanning, Wedding Event, Shropshire
Hi Matt, Sorry for the delay in getting back to you. Please see the comments below. If you can't tell, we were really happy with both the service and the band - both were great! Many thanks to you all. Warble were always very quick to respond to our queries and very helpful during the booking process, clearly answering all our questions. The band was brilliant at meeting all our difficult demands - keeping themselves a surprise, right till the last moment and doing the normal 10 min sound check in a 30 second grand entrance! The band was awesome! The dance floor was packed all night - youngens and oldies, all creating some seriously crazy shapes. So many people commented on how great the band was and what fantastic musicians they were (and they had a tough audience!). The band were also really friendly and so flexible on the night. Please thank them all so much for providing such a fun and perfect ending to a perfect day!

Colin Harwood, Wedding Event, Greater Manchester
Hi, My wife and I attended a family wedding in Mellor on the 12th August 2011 where Friends of the Bride were playing at the Reception. The band were absolutely excellent, playing a wide range of songs which ensured that the dance floor was packed all evening long. The range of songs that were played included all of the songlist on your website and was a pleasant change from the usual party music. I would have no hesitation in recommending Friends of the Bride. Best of luck for the future.

Charlotte Ingham, Wedding Event, Derbyshire
Hi Matt, Sorry for the late response - first day back at work! We were seriously impressed with Friends of the Bride - they really spent time and effort learning songs for us and also mixing up their set list to suit our guests. Without question they got everyone up and dancing - old and young and we would like to thank them again for making the evening of our wedding so memorable. Warble were quick to respond to queries as was Dan from the band. I would have no hesitation in recommending Friends of the Bride in the future and if we ever have another event we'll seriously consider re-booking them. Many thanks and best wishes.

Sarah M Blaylock (Ne Thompson), Wedding Event, Cumbria
We had the best Wedding Reception we could have hoped for, in the main due to FOTB! Fantastic set, professionally played. They were exceptionally accommodating with our first dance and kids music initially and their sets were crowd pleasers! I found their experience reassured my nerves getting people up to dance and they were a joy to work with. We have already been asked for their details from other potential Bride and Grooms at our Wedding Reception and were more than happy to pass on their details. We will definitely be keeping them in mind for any future family events and the sound on the website didn't do them justice they sounded amazing.

Melissa and Karl, Wedding Event, Humberside
Hiya Matt, We were very pleased with Friends of the Bride, they were just what we were looking for. I didn't stop dancing all night and we had excellent comments from our friends. Thank you for helping to make our wedding perfect. Would certainly recommend both the band and Warble Entertainment to friends and family in the future. Thanks again.

Rosie, Birthday Party Event, Humberside
Dear Tracey, yes, I would like to give feedback on Friends of the Bride and must say how brilliant they were. The boys were great young men and everybody thoroughly enjoyed their music and they made the party a huge success. I have spoken to them directly to thank them and wish them great success in the future. I would certainly recommend them to others.

Nicola Jones, Wedding Event, Cheshire
Amazing!! What else can we say!! From the moment we looked at the band online we were impressed! The end performance did not fail to deliver either. We couldnt get anyone off the dance floor at the end of the night, all our family and friends were shouting for more and the guys gladly obliged. Instead of the usual cheesy wedding band music this band made our wedding feel like a proper gig. We loved it!! Thank you for such a great night!!

Tim & Jo, Wedding Event, Cheshire
Hi Matt, Sorry for the delay responding, we've only just found our feet after the wedding and honeymoon. Thanks very much for your email but most of all thanks for your top class service and top class band you supplied. The whole day couldn't have gone better and topped off perfectly with an exceptional performance by Friends of the Bride. Right from my first contact with yourself the response was immediate. Any further queries I had were answered and dealt with immediately putting my mind at rest before the big day. The booking process was totally hassle free and confirmed almost as quickly as it went through. Then for the band - what a great bunch of lads! They did everything I could have wished for and the standard of their performance was better than some proper concerts I've been to. Not only did they perform their agreed sets but they also stayed and performed a few extra tracks (to the delight of the wedding guests). Nearly everyone commented afterwards on how good they were so I would firmly recommend them and Warble Entertainment again. Thanks again Matt for all your help. If you could also pass on my thanks to the lads I'd really appreciate it.

Paul Bond, Private Party Event, Cheshire
Hi Marie, these guys really did the business, they made my party special they had to play on the lawn in damp conditions and boy did they rock they never missed a beat all night and just got on with making my party a night to remember, everyone thought you were great, well done and thanks again.

Lyndon Tate, Wedding Event, Lancashire
Hi Tracey, the band where friendly and fabulous. Would highly recommend them.

Jo and Matthew Boyle, married at The Bridge, Wetherby
Hi Tracey, I’m really sorry that this feedback has been a long time coming but I just want to pass on my thanks to Friends of the Bride for performing at our wedding on 30th December last year. We had the best day ever and the band were absolutely brilliant. They got everyone dancing and had a really fantastic play list. They were especially tolerant of my very drunk brother-in-law taking the microphone. So many people complemented us on our band selection and what a good time they had dancing to their music. Really nice guys too – recommend highly to all. I’d appreciate if you could pass this email on to them. Thanks again.

Phil and Tracey Brown, Wedding, Macclesfield
When we had first decided to book a live band for our wedding day we contacted Warble and told them what kind of music we enjoy listening to, after speaking with them they recommended Friends of The Bride to play at our wedding. We were over the moon with the bands performance on the night! They had everyone up dancing and singing along all night. They made our special day that extra bit special, they truly will be Friends of The Bride (and groom) for life!

Steve & Mary, Wedding, Rookery Hall, Nantwich
Friends of the Bride were outstanding! From the outset we felt we were in safe hands with the band. Not only did they cater for all of our wedding party they also learnt our first dance, which meant so much to us. Thanks guys, we will be recommending you to everyone and anyone!

Kieron Harris, 21st Birthday party, Newcastle
Friends of The Bride were incredible! They had everyone up on the dance floor and played music that suited everyone (even my grandparents were dancing). We had an amazing time dancing like fools and singing along! A few more of my mates will be turning 21 soon and have asked me for their contact details. I look forward to seeing them again very soon.

Keith and Sarah Rodgers, Wedding, Halifax
Hi Matt thanks once again for your recommendation of Friends of The Bride to play on our wedding day. The band were extremely professional and contacted us prior to the gig to see if we had any special requests. We asked them to learn a song for our first dance which they did happily. They performed two sets for us both of which contained songs that kept the dance floor full from start to finish. They had a fantastic amount of energy and charisma and interacted brilliantly with the audience. We will definitely be recommending Friends of The Bride to all of our friends.

Phil Rickett , Surprise Party, Knutsford
Hi Matt, thanks for the email and it would be my pleasure to provide some feedback on the guys. If you need anything else just let me know. I hired Friends of the Bride for my wife's 40th surprise birthday party and they performed 2 fantastic sets that had all of my guests on the dance floor (even my brother!). From the first contact to the final note Friends of the Bride were friendly and professional and I just need another excuse for a party now. Thanks again guys.

Sarah & Tim, Engagement Party, Cheshire
Brilliant, brilliant, BRILLIANT!!!!! If you want a band that knows how to have fun and don't just stand there going through the motions then FOTB are the ones. My friends are still talking about you now and we'll see you on the 21st for the big day itself.

The Wedding Package
Because Friends of the Bride realise that every Wedding is different they are happy to build a bespoke package just for you. This has proven extremely popular with many couples and could include:

• Earlier Set-Up - to avoid disturbing the ambience if everything is taking place in the same room
• Late Finish - whilst most venues are licensed until midnight, Friends of the Bride realise that some are fine to continue the celebrations until 1am or 2am.
• First Dance - wherever possible, Friends of the Bride will learn your first dance song providing enough prior notice is given and the song is within the style of the band. If this is not possible the band will be happy to play your first dance via their PA / DJ equipment
• DJ service - to help minimise costs Friends of the Bride are able to provide a DJ option (with PA and lighting) to ensure that when they aren't performing the party will carry on! This means that requests can be taken from the song choices that the guys will have available

Please Note: As standard, and at no extra fee,  Friends of the Bride will  provide party music before, in between and after their performances.

As standard Friends of the Bride perform 2 x 60 or 3 x 40 minute live sets.

Because Friends of the Bride want you to have the whole night's entertainment sorted when you hire them, the band offers a FREE DJ option that runs when the band are not performing.

The DJ option is performed by a member of the group operating a laptop with the most current DJ mixing software and party classics on hand to keep the party jumping! The benefits of this service are that your guests are able to make requests for the DJ to play, and with the DJ being a member of the band and sharing their equipment, the space utilised at the venue is kept to a minimum... and so looks very tidy.
