After searching for the perfect band for our barn wedding, Folksmiths were exactly what we wanted for our rustic venue. Tune after tune they got people on their feet and let us collaborate a playlist that told a story about how we met. No pressure lads, but a perfect day one of marriage has set a precedent!

We are so grateful for the organisation and amazing performances of the band. Even after some timing issues, the band were so helpful so we could make lemonade from lemons. Book them to make your wedding day special.

From booking to performance, Folksmiths were incredibly professional and adaptable from the get-go. Our first dance (which we only decided 5 weeks before!) was performed exactly the way we wanted to make it memorable for everyone. Thank you so much to everyone part of the process!
