They just got on with it. The music was excellent and their second set was very impressive getting the dance floor packed. So many of our guests commented on how good they were.

Only comment is I wish we'd booked them for extra time! Thanks for making our day special.
Stephanie Oliver
FOTB had everyone on the dance floor. It was the best night and the perfect band to get everyone celebrating with us. Everyone raved about them. The band were so lovely and easy going - the first dance they learned for us was magical. My only bit of advice for people considering booking FOTB is to pay for additional band time! I could have danced all night. Huge thank you. Steph and Steve.
Andy Fletcher

We really loved the way the band played our first dance and couldn't recommend them enough for anyone in the future.

Easy to deal with, prompt and above all else bloody good.

Peter Briggs
Absolutely great!
James Halliwell
When planning our wedding one of the first things that went on the must have list was a live band, as lovers of live music and a good boogie it was one of the things we wanted to get right. We found Friends of the Bride after searching, listening and watching quite a number of live music acts and thought they fitted what we wanted. On the day Friends of the Bride did not disappoint, they were fantastic. Their skill level and energy really set the room up for a great evening. Their two hour long sets filled with upbeat sing-a-longs, guitar classics and feel good favourites went down a storm, multiple guest pulled me aside just to tell me how awesome and on point the band were. I would fully recommend these guys to anyone considering a fun, energetic party starting band. Totally worth the money!
Stuart Campbell
What can I say... absolutely amazing! Friends of the Bride kept the dance floor busy all night long playing a great couple of sets for us and provided a DJ set in between. The lads were fabulous and I would certainly recommend booking them to anyone. They did a great live performance for our first dance and my new wife was blown away by them. Thanks guys, you were great.
Julie Welsh
Fantastic band, brilliant range of music that suited our guests which made for a wonderful evening. An approachable and amenable group of lads to top it all.
Lorna Squires

Lianne and Andrew Reid
I wanted to send a quick email to say a huge thank you to Friends of the Bride for playing at our wedding. They were great to work with - learning our first dance in only a couple of weeks (which was incredible by the way!). They were professional, on time and were lovely to be with on the day - really getting involved with atmosphere. Their style was perfect for us and they kept the dancefloor full at all times. I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone - in-fact, I have already and I think they're booking them for their wedding next year! Thank you Friends of the Bride - you were amazing!
Hayley Lindley and Jonathan Thornhill
The band were absolutely amazing and we had a lovely night partying with them. They exceeded our expectations. They were so lovely and helpful and we would be more than happy to recommend them to other people.

Well what can I say about this band... words cannot describe how incredible they were! Lovely guys who kept the dance floor full ALL NIGHT!

You made our night!

Kate Hardwick
Friends of the Bride played at our wedding in June... they were fantastic and made our evening reception one to remember. They were relaxed, fun and professional. They played the song we had chosen for our first dance, which was amazing, two sets and then played a DJ set. They were definitely worth the money and would recommend them 100%. Every one of our guests had something positive to say about them. Me and Chris want to say a massive thank you to the guys and warble entertainment for putting us in touch with them!!! Kate and Chris xx
David Simpson

Louise Gardner
The band were absolutely fantastic! Everyone loved them and we've had so many positive comments from our guests, they really blew us away. They were a lovely bunch of guys and good fun, they had us do a bride/groom dance-off, which we didn't expect but was a bit of crack! We would highly recommend them to anyone.
Nik Griffith
Warble (and especially Niki) were very easy to deal with and unlike some competitors of theirs it was very useful to have so many audio and video clips to browse through. All admin queries were dealt with very quickly. Chris from Friends of the Bride reassured me before the event and was very accommodating in helping choose the setlist. On the day, the band were very professional - arriving as expected and being set up in plenty of time. Chris was very helpful in delaying their start time as the evening was so lovely outside. Once the band started it was clear that everyone was in for a good time. We had a wide range of guest ages and the dance floor was always busy with people having a great time. Lots of people have said how great the band were and we would certainly agree and can offer our warm recommendation to you.
Sue Baxter
Friends of The Bride were absolutely brilliant! They got the party rocking and their choice of music was perfect for our special wedding celebration. They were three lovely lads!

You were the icing on the cake for our evening celebration!
Rachel Wood
Thank you so much for the easiest booking process; there was no hassle and you guys were super quick to reply to any of my questions. Thank you. The guys themselves: absolutely fantastic!!!

Guy Latham

Frank Naylor
Warble were great as a booking service and this band were something else! Great bunch of lads who kept the dancefloor full and the party feet moving!

Look no further!" Thanks, Mr & Mrs Naylor
Robert Smith
Superb! Crowd pleasing from start to finish!
Kirsty Simpson
What an incredible band... I have had our guests mention them constantly since the big day, all saying how fab they were! They had everyone dancing from the moment they started to the moment they finished. They also learnt our first dance song which was so memorable and having it sung acoustic and live was everything we dreamed of and more!
Emma Clarke
Absolutely fantastic band! The music was absolutely first class and all of the guests commented on how good they were. If I ever get married again I would book them in a heartbeat!

Unbelievable! They made our evening reception perfect and everyone was dancing and have been raving about them ever since... really nice guys who know how to work the crowd and get people dancing... tunes for everyone and we would highly recommend them for any wedding or function.

James Rowland-Smith & Clare Gorman
Absolutely superb. Guys were really friendly and helpful, didn't inconvenience anything whilst setting up, and hardly noticed them. Songs were fantastic, had everyone up dancing and put songs on between sets which kept the atmosphere going. Played a few extra songs at the end due to the number of people up dancing. Loved them!
Samantha Kay
Absolutely fantastic they made our night, will definitely recommend, well done guys xx

Highly recommended and thank you so much for learning the first dance too! We would book them again in a heartbeat! Amazing. Thank you again xxx
Phil Turton
A superb band - all our guests were asking 'where did you find the band?'. They were brilliant. The set-list was perfect for the mixture of people we had at the wedding and it got folks dancing. They were also really easy to work with - Chris spoke to me a couple of weeks before the wedding and delivered on everything we discussed. They were punctual (to the minute), professional - and altogether lovely. Highly recommended.
Claire Johnson
The band were great and the set list was fantastic. Thank you.
John Cliffe
Absolutely fantastic wedding band! All guests have said how good they were. Thanks a million lads you were top notch. From booking FOTB and them playing it has been a simple and well communicated process and thank you to all at Warble and the lads. *****
Christine Howarth
Great band. Adjusted easily to late finishing of meal. Very keen to make the evening perfect, which it was. Would highly recommend the band. Music appealed to all and very professional. Thanks for making the evening so special.
Natalie Carter
The guys were absolutely fantastic from start to finish! Communication from the start with Warble and then the band directly was great, we felt very at ease with the band and they certainly delivered on the night. Every guest wanted them to play for longer as they were keeping the party alive so well! Dance floor was soon filled! Highly recommended - top tunes and very talented boys too. Couldn't have been happier with their performances on the night of our wedding!
Darren Wright
The experience we had with both Warble and Friends of the Bride was fantastic. The booking process was quick and easy with clear communication from Samantha. The band were on-site at the wedding in plenty of time to set up and sound check. Chris was great in checking with me what time to start their sets as we were running slightly behind schedule. The music was brilliant and, as with other reviews for the guys, a lot of guests were saying how good the band were. We didn't make too many requests during the DJ sets but the guys were more than happy to play anything that we asked for. Thanks to both Friends of the Bride and Warble for all their efforts. We had an incredible wedding day and the music was a huge part of the success!
Lesley Dunn
Fantastic, great, brilliant, awesome! Really nice lads, everyone danced all night, thanks.
Joe Turner and Amy Winter
Cheers guys. You helped our festival themed tipi wedding go off with a bang. Great mix of music - everyone that came commented how good you were. The dancefloor was full from the first chord to the last!
Samantha Innes
An excellent band that played a range of music that not only pleased the youngsters, older wedding guests, but also everyone in between. Everybody during and after the wedding have all commented on how good the band were and that they had everybody up on the dance floor. Friendly and eager to please, they asked us what type of music from there playlist we would like, we left it to them and they picked perfectly. Overall money well spent on an excellent band.
Phil Ormond
Would have actually scored 10 out of five if it was possible! Both Warble and the band were easy to get in touch with and responded quickly to messages. The event itself was outstanding. Loads of people up dancing and having a good time, great music and people asking where we found them. Would highly recommend! Good group of lads as well.
Courtny Edwards - Robert Walters
Friends of the Bride were excellent at our summer BBQ. They were really great guys to work with, and played a fantastic assortment of music - taking any requests we had throughout the night. They also happily stayed and DJ'd a bit longer than originally planned because our staff and clients were having such a good time dancing the night away! We would happily book them again if we ever needed a band, and would recommend them to anyone who asked.
Rachel Power
Massive thank you to yourselves and Friends of the Bride for our wedding on12th June at Wentbridge House Hotel. The band were brilliant, everyone loved them, we didn't leave the dance floor most of the night! I would definitely highly recommend them and wouldn't hesitate to book them again. From Rach & Matt
Alison Ball
Thanks for a great night of music at our wedding! The band were fab, played lots of songs we liked and got everyone up and dancing! Definitely highly recommend!
Ed Riley
One word to describe this band... Epic!!!! Perfect end to a perfect day-thanks lads!
Victoria Garry
The band were brilliant on the night, our guests had a great time. The band were really friendly and polite and double checked all the arrangements when they arrived, I'd definitely recommend them.
Carl Wallis
Absolutely fantastic band. They sound brilliant, their enthusiasm rubs off, lifts the room and really made the night. Everyone commented on how good they were. I thoroughly recommend this band for any occasion, especially weddings. Thank you guys, really appreciated.
Adam Wordsworth
The band were amazing and a great bunch of guys. Great communication with Chris before our party. The night was tailored exactly how we wanted it. On the day FOTB turned up on time and set up was hassle free. They were flexible with the start time which was very handy. We had requested a first dance song which they played perfectly, will never forget it. After that, the music was awesome from start to finish. I think they played pretty much all of our requests - and there were a lot of them!! Would 100% hire FOTB again and will be recommending them to anyone looking for a band. Cheers guys for making our wedding party so memorable!
Jodie Swift
Warble were prompt and efficient in responding to all communications. It was a very easy booking process from originally checking availability and obtaining a quote to paying the deposit and final balance. The band were fantastic. I had amended the lyrics of our first dance song as a surprise for my husband. They were so accommodating and said it was no problem to sing the revised lyrics which I gave them a few weeks prior to the wedding. They got all our wedding guests up on the dance floor. We had so many great comments about the band and their performance from our guests. They played all the music we discussed before hand and took requests. They even let one of our guests do karaoke which was extremely good (and patient) of them.
Sam & Adam Dunne
Apologies for the delay in leaving feedback, life has been very busy post wedding. We just want to say how fantastic Friends Of The Bride were for our wedding band. Chris the lead singer was very helpful - Skyping from abroad so we could chat and talk about what we wanted for the evening. FOTB managed to do a special request for our first song - blending from one song into another. They played all the types of music we spoke about and played brilliantly. They also put up with some very drunken dancing antics and were very professional! I have some great pictures of air guitaring guests and guests in some very strange mid-dance actions. We highly recommend the band for anyone who wants a great night of music for their guests to party the night out to. We are really pleased we chose FOTB. Just a shame we can't have another wedding to book them again! Thank you.
Christian Freeman & Sarah Wild
The guys were awesome! They had everyone up on the dance floor all night and I've heard nothing but amazing feedback from all the guests. We were a bit nervous booking a band we'd not seen perform live so I'm writing this for anyone else in a similar position and can't recommend these guys enough.
Katarina Mcgann
The Friends of the Bride were brilliant and I wouldn't hesitate to book them again for any future event. They would be suitable for any party, not just weddings. They got the guests going and kept them going all evening. Lovely lads too. Also they were very professional throughout. Prior to the wedding we skyped to confirm arrangements and our requirements, timings etc. Also on the day all went to plan - Brilliant all round.
Robert Wilkinson
Definitely picked the right band!!! Myself (the groom) and the bride ended our day dancing away all night with a full dance floor of guests. Since the wedding everyone has been full of compliments for the band and they are three genuinely nice lads to top off. Thank you very much!!...and if there are any public gigs in future please notify us as we would love to go and see them again!
Ruth Jones
Really good entertainment. Perfect for our son's wedding. Nothing was too much trouble even learning a song on the night so that the bride and her Dad could do their dance. Nice touch. All the best to you all.
Ian Lindsey
We would not hesitate to recommend Friends of the Bride to anybody looking for a band for their event. We booked them for our wedding as we wanted to fill the dancefloor and we weren't disappointed. From the moment they arrived they were on hand to control the evening and nothing was too much trouble. The live performances linked seamlessly with the DJing that was provided and many guests thought they were listening to original tracks when the band was playing. It was amazing to see so many people dancing and I can say that Friends of the Bride made our evening a huge success. I wouldn't hesitate to book again and would suggest anybody does the same.

Sorry that its taken a little time to get in touch but we've been away this week. What can we say but Wow!? You guys were fantastic and made our evening reception. Our guests are still commenting on how great you were and some have said that they've never seen a dancefloor filled at a wedding like you managed. My new mother-in-law commented that you were so good that she didn't know when the recorded music finished and you began a lot of the time. Your song selection was great and I don't have enough words to say how highly we'd recommend you. Thanks again to you all. Kind Regards, Ian & Victoria
Lyndsey Clarke
The Band were fantastic! They kept people on the dance floor all night and their DJ sets in between were great (we had Motown to cater for the older guests in the DJ sets and this went down well). They were so professional to deal with, very accommodating and went the extra mile. Communication on the lead up to and on the night was fantastic. Great guys who we would definitely recommend! Thanks so much.
Martyn Davies
We would like to say that they where absolutely brilliant from start to finish and we would highly recommend them to anyone else. Thanks guys it was a top night.
Emma Pollintine
The boys were fantastic, they arrived, set up quickly and sounded fab. We had so many great comments about them and couldn't have wished for more. They kept guests dancing and enjoying themselves all night. I was worried our wedding size and in particular the venue was too small but they fitted in great. Highly recommended. Thanks a lot. Emma and Rob.
Alessandra Gettins
Would definitely recommend these guys for a wedding / party - absolutely fantastic! Really made our wedding so fun, I thought the dance floor would break at one point the dancing was so enthusiastic! Great range of songs and learn't our choice of song perfectly. Really accommodating nice guys and were very good natured when a couple of drunk guests commandeered the microphones!

Chris Pilbin
The band were great and played a wide range of songs catering for guests, including learning our first dance song and another request. They were also really patient and relaxed about the inevitable wedding breakfast delays. A top band all round.

Friends of the Bride were a great bunch of lads and really got our party going. All our guests, young and old loved them, and many commented on what a great evening they had. They were always polite and courteous and did a great job. They also looked like they were having a great time. I would have no hesitation in recommending them to other people 100%. Thanks guys.

Geraint Davies
Thank you so much for playing at our wedding last night! You guys really did rock!
Phil Williams
The Band were amazing - good variety of songs and really easy going genuine guys. The booking process was easy and if we had any questions we were contacted back straight away. The band arrived earlier than anticipated and set up quickly. Everyone at the wedding were up on their feet dancing. Made our party that even more special. Thanks Friends of the Bride xx
Katy O'Loughlin
Just a quick note to thank Friends of the Bride for playing at our wedding, they not only got everyone on the dance floor but kept everyone up until the last song. Much to the delight of some of the guests, they even let them sing and play some of the instruments and have a go at being 'in the band'! They sang our first dance song 'Hey Ho by The Lumineers' and brought the song to life! I can't watch the video of it without crying! Would definitely recommend them for any event. True professionals but really fun at the same time!
David Jones
The band were superb, phoned up 3 weeks before our wedding to find out what we wanted for our 1st dance, type of music we wanted, any special requests etc. Turned up bang on time, very approachable and then the main event - superb when they were playing. Lots of our friends and family commented on how good they were - contributed a big part to our perfect day. Would definitely recommend them to anyone wanting a great wedding band.
David Jones
Had a great time at our wedding on Saturday night at Bolton. Many of our guests have commented on how awesome the band were - spot on. Hope we have the pleasure of seeing you guys again at another wedding in the future.
Linda Higgins
Just to say a BIG thank you for your contribution in making my daughters wedding perfect! (Kate & Matthew O'Loughlin) Your music was brilliant... evidenced by everyone dancing all night. Your patience in letting guests join you on stage was phenomenal... the photos are outstanding!! Can I wish you all good wishes in the future and thank you again.
Jill Buchanan
Fabulous band the boys are amazing. They absolutely rocked the dance floor, my guests loved them everyone was shouting for more when they were done! Thank you so much for making our night perfect. Just what we were looking for... and boys, the first dance was the highlight of our day... thank you thank you thank you x
Ben Wedderburn
Couldn't have been happier with the band, really nice bunch of guys and a great set. Really loved the excellent rendition of 'True Blue' they performed for our first dance.

Dave Vale
All the guests loved the band and their music!

Absolutely fantastic... Loved and enjoyed by all guests :)
Niki Cooke
Friends of the Bride - WOW! We can't thank you enough for making our evening reception go with a bang. We were over the moon with your version of our first dance song Last of the Ladies by the Courteeners, you absolutely did it justice. Each song was performed with such energy, I seriously cannot praise you enough. I have no idea how long the second set went on for but it was certainly longer than the hour we were expecting. I would recommend anyone to book Friends of the Bride, you most certainly will not be disappointed. Fantastic, awesome, brilliant, just some of the comments we had from our wedding guests. Thank you so much, Niki Armitt (Cooke)
Andrea Gilbertson
The band were excellent, just what we wanted and more. Thanks
Cat West
Great bunch of lads, professional, friendly and really good musicians. With basically no direction other than it's pretty relaxed and keep it upbeat they nailed the sort of music we were looking for and kept the dance floor filled during both the sets. Impromptu dance offs and requests finished off a brilliant day with a great party. We will be recommending you in the future, many thanks.
Neil Shuttleworth
Just to say thanks from myself and the new wife Sarah. You guys were awesome on Saturday and we really enjoyed it! Never seen a dance floor so full at a wedding!
Dominic & Jessica Flatley
From the moment we booked it was so easy and straight forward sorting everything out. The band were great at being in contact with us and dealing with all the queries and requests so quickly. The band arrived and set up discreetly with no hassle at all. The first dance was awesome which they played and from then on all the songs were fantastic and the range of music had all our friends and family dancing. The wedding was 2 days ago and we have had so many guests commenting on how great the band was and that they stayed later than expected to hear more and dance more. A big thanks to Matt particularly for being in touch. Would highly recommend to anyone we were so happy we picked you to play as it made the night perfect. Thanks again Dom and Jess Flatley xx
Sue Evans
Fantastic! Matt and the band were fantastic from start to finish. Played all requests and entertained all guests. They sounded great and everyone commented on how brilliant they were. Made our night!
James Fayle
They were amazing. Totally got the mood and every song was of the highest quality. As was the first song request. Everybody at the wedding loved them - and frequently let me know! I would recommend them to anybody getting married - or who just needs a band!
Pippa Lewis
Many, many thanks to the band for a brilliant night. The lads were friendly, professional and so entertaining. The music was superb, playlist was perfect. I can highly recommend the band and would certainly book them for any future event. Wedding guests were talking about the band all evening, they made our daughter's day just perfect. Thanks again, Pippa Lewis.
Carrie Leigh
The booking process was simple and straightforward and we couldn't have asked for a better band! Genuinely nice guys who play really good music. We had so many compliments on how good the band was and the dance floor was always packed - which speaks for itself really! Wouldn't hesitate in recommending these guys!
Bryn Hughes
Amazing band, very professional and friendly! Went the extra mile to make our night special, cheers guys! I highly recommend the band at any event, thanks once again!
Rebecca Hughes

James Delaney and Alison Drayton
Friends of the Bride were a really fantastic choice for our wedding. They created such a good atmosphere, with a brilliant set list. They got all our guests dancing for the entire evening! Thanks so much for such a good show!
Elizabeth Millington
A huge thank you to you guys for an amazing set at our wedding last night at Thornton Manor. You were wonderful. You helped make our day even more amazing and my friends and family loved you too. Hopefully see you again soon at some of our other friends weddings! Love the Millingtons! ;) xx
Claire Morgan
Absolutely brilliant! Loved them, in fact one of my guests has already e-mailed for a quote for their wedding next year!!! Thank you.

A really nice bunch of lads who played two really great sets with music to suit everyone - would recommend 100%. Many many thanks :)

Friends of the Bride were amazing! They helped to created a fantastic atmosphere at our wedding and we can't recommend them enough.
Hayley Williams
Thank you so much for performing at our wedding on Saturday 8th June, you were absolutely amazing and all of our guests have commented on how much they loved your performance & the atmosphere you provided. We cannot recommend you enough & look forward to booking you again in the future. Thanks again from Mr & Mrs Williams (Willington Hall)
Alan Clarke
The booking process was incredibly easy with plenty of information to help us chose the right act for the wedding. Communication, both initially with Warble, and then later with the band themselves was good with quick and courteous responses. The band arrived with plenty of time to set up and get ready. At all times they were friendly and courteous. The actual performance was fantastic and exactly what we wanted and though a lot of our guests were older they had the younger ones out on the floor. Thank you to all involved. We would have no hesitation in recommending Warble or Friends of the Bride.
Paul Miller
Top quality! Thoroughly recommend. Thanks for ending the day off with some great music. Paul & Vic
Catherine Ward
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
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
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
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
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
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
Thought you guys were brilliant at my sister's wedding last night. Just wanted to say thank you!
Karel Dole
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
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
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
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
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
What a great band!!! They really did make our night :-) thank you.
Emily Taylor
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
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
Thanks again guys for rocking our wedding reception... my feet have only just recovered from the dancing!!! You were Brill!
Laura Harrison
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
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
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
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
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.
