North By South East performed during our wedding ceremony and in the afternoon outdoor reception. We had so many lovely comments from both our guests and other wedding suppliers about how great they sounded. Some of the guests were even up dancing on the grass in the afternoon! Communication in the run up to the wedding was also great, as well as how professional they were on the day. We would definitely recommend them!
Janina
North By South East played at our wedding party and they were incredible! They were so accommodating and easy to communicate with from the start to the end. They had everyone dancing and singing at the party from the first song to the last and we received so many compliments from our guests about the band. I can 100% recommend North By South East for any party!
Kate
North By South East were fantastic! From the first contact they were so friendly and warm and professional. We asked them to travel to Sicily for our destination wedding and the planning couldn't have been more simple. Music really can make or break the atmosphere and these guys MADE IT! All of our guests had the best time and were full of compliments for North By South East. Thank you so much for making our special day so memorable! We would hire you again in a heartbeat! xxx
James
These guys are amazing! We booked them for a family celebration, a tough gig as many travelled internationally to be there and were catching up with one and other. North By South East struck the perfect balance between providing a beautiful sound track for the chat to whipping up a joyous packed dance floor. They are extremely talented musicians with wonderfully contrasting but harmonic voices, they create a sound fuller than you might think possible of a couple plus they are fantastic performers too. They read the room perfectly, breezily bring energy and make you want to dance! Everyone had a great time and I would highly recommend anyone book them for anything now before they get too big for your budget!!
Alison
These guys were fab for our Mum's 70th birthday, and such lovely people too! 100% recommend! I'm still hoarse from 'helping them out' ie singing my heart out on the dance floor! Special comment from your number one fan, my 6 year old daughter: "I loved them so so much! They did songs that I heard before and some that I didn't hear before. The lady singer is the best at singing and she had a really nice dress! And I danced like this" - proceeds to show me a long dance routine
Sinead
North By South East are a fantastic music duo. They played at our wedding, 2 live sets and a DJ set and the dance floor was always busy! the music was upbeat and all the kids were dancing too!! who knew the 17yr olds knew the words to 90s classics! Amazing rendition of my fav "Where is my mind" Pixies among lots and lots of hits! They are both really professional and reliable and have already been requested by one of our guests to play at another event! Fantastic duo, thank you both, you made our night!!! Sinead and Fin x

Couldn't recommend these guys enough! Played at our farm wedding a few weeks ago and could not have asked for a better duo to get the party started - thank you both so much we had the best day dispute the rain
Rebecca
Just amazing! We booked North By South East for our wedding ceremony. They were amazing and we had so many compliments from our guests. They are so lovely by email and face to face. They were so easy going with the process and advised us on the set up of our outside DIY ceremony which really helped. Can't recommend them enough. We will be attending their next gig near us and hopefully will have an excuse to book them again for a future event x
Nathan
North By South East provided the soundtrack to mine and my now wife's special day, In the build up they kept in contact and made sure they understood what we liked and what we didn't like, and trust me when I say they brought the party, everyone loved them and I'm pretty sure they will be getting a lot more booking from that day
Emily
We booked North By South East for our London wedding and could not recommend them enough! Kept the party going all night long and everyone had such a great time. Both so lovely and friendly, with incredible voices that compliment each others perfectly. We had so many compliments from our guests saying how amazing they were. A great selection of songs and also took requests! We both said we would love to book them again, if only we lived closer! Thank you so much, you made our day extra special
Kelsie
North By South East are simply amazing!! They helped us celebrate our wedding on Saturday by performing from walking through the church doors right up until late into the evening. We asked them to learn 3 new songs as well for my church entrance, signing the register and first dance, and they were out of this world, adapting all three songs to their own unique style and it was more perfect than I could have ever imagined. All our guests were so impressed and in awe of them both. I could not recommend these guys more if I tried. They were simply perfect!!
Louise
We booked North By South East for our wedding, they covered the whole day from ceremony to evening reception and every part was flawless. They learnt our aisle, exit and first dance songs, each they put their own spin on which we loved!! They listened to our preferences and over delivered! We have had so many compliments about how beautiful their voices and music were, and about how great they were at getting the party going in the evening. The dance floor was always full and this was down to them! We will be sure to recommend them and can't wait to continue to see them at their local gigs! You're the loveliest duo and we can't thank you enough.
Milly
I would recommend North By South East over and over again. I have booked them several times now and they are the nicest and down-to-earth people. Their beautiful voices complement each other so well and they can do all different genres of music. For my Mum's party they got everyone dancing and engaged with the guests which makes the atmosphere even better. I will continue booking them for work and personal events. Thank you both for always being accommodating and amazing!
Emma & David
Wow - we just wanted to say how amazing North By South East were at our wedding at The George in Rye. They are not only an incredibly talented couple they are also genuinely so warm and friendly and made it so easy when discussing music and the style we wanted for the evening. All our guests commented on how brilliant they performed and it made our wedding day complete! Would highly recommend.
Jennifer
A family friend recommended North By South East, and we would like to do the same! North By South East were an absolute hit on our wedding day. We let them do their thing, reading the room and adapting their sets to suit our guests. They helped us coordinate a fantastic confetti toss at the end of our first dance, and their performance of 'Daddy's Little Girl' for our father-daughter dance brought my wife to tears! Thank you for making our wedding evening one to remember!
Dot

THE BEST DUO AND SOUND! North By South East are amazing - they really made our wedding day so so special and we can't thank them enough! From the initial chat during which they both put us at such ease, answering all our questions and going above and beyond to make the day one to remember! I came across North By South East online, and I became an instant fan. True story... I could only be trusted with the music (I say trusted... what I really mean is that I was told I had to organise at least one thing) - and boy did it pay off with North By South East! So much so, we wanted them to play our first dance and EVERYONE at the wedding loved them! Their sound is incredible and they are so gifted! Wow they can both sing! Not only are they two of the most talented artists and musicians I've watched live, they were super supportive and lovely throughout the whole process, from the initial booking and even afterwards! I can't thank you guys enough, you really made our wedding and we were lucky to have you!
Emily
We would like to give North by South East a big 5/5! From start to finish they were absolutely fantastic. So friendly, with a great song selection, and had everyone up on the dance floor from the start till the end. We had so many compliments from our guests saying how amazing they were and where did we find them! We were absolutely thrilled. Would love to book them again in the future! Booking was seamless and communication with the duo was great. Thank you so much.

Rhianna
North by South East were absolutely fantastic on our wedding day! They were incredibly friendly and accommodating to us, they also kept the party going! We were asked by guests consistently through the night where we found them, we cannot recommend this lovely couple enough. They took the time to learn a first dance song for us and did it so well that guests asked us to request them to sing it again. They mingled with the guests and absolutely made the night brilliant, you'll not be disappointed when you book them!

We booked North By South East for our wedding day and it was one of the best decisions we made. They were incredible and it was such a lovely atmosphere having them playing in the background during certain parts of the day. They played 2 sets, 1 for our drinks reception and then again in the evening whilst our evening guests arrived. We honestly couldn't recommend them enough. Thank you for being a part of our special day. Everyone thought you were great

We booked North by South East for our wedding - they were phenomenal!

We had the amazing North by South East play at our wedding and we couldn't recommend them enough. They were friendly and approachable from our first communication with them right through till the wedding day. After having to reschedule our wedding twice, they never made us feel like it was an issue. They were happy to learn our first dance song which was just so special. We love it more than the original now. They were able to change the music style and songs to suit the various points in the day perfectly. Our dance floor was constantly full and we have had so many guests comment on how amazing they were and some have booked them for future occasions. We can't wait to rebook them for our next big party. Thanks again. We love you!!!!

We booked North by South East for my parent's Silver Wedding Anniversary Celebration and they made the party so special! So many of the guests now want to book them for their upcoming events - I couldn't recommend them enough. They tailored their setlist perfectly for the occasion and even learnt a song especially for my Mum and Dad's first dance. Everyone had a fabulous time and North by South East created a fantastic atmosphere, ensuring we were surrounded with fun, laughter and of course, wonderful live music!!

North by South East got the party started at my 40th. Not only are they the nicest people, they are so talented. They played a variety of songs for my guests whose ages ranged from 5 to 87. They took requests too. Thank you for making it a party to remember for everyone that came.

We booked North by South East for our wedding at the Old Bridge. They were absolutely amazing from start to finish, they played a range of acoustic relaxed vibes for the afternoon reception and then livened things up for the evening. They also learned our first dance song (which wasn't easy as it was Bon Jovi!) and we loved their version so much, they brought the perfect rock vibe to the whole evening! We didn't want a full 5 piece band (and would have struggled for space for that), so opted for a duo but at no point did this compromise on the sound or the liveliness, they are experts at mixing sounds and have the perfect blend of voices! Beautiful singers and Charlie is awesome on the guitar, huge repertoire and we were amazed by their ability to take requests and play almost anything. Our guests have all commented on how good they were, thank you for making our day so special!
Neil
I want to say thank you to you both so very much for your warmth, friendliness and professionalism - especially your flexibility! Your positive approach to my request to move down into the cellar bar at zero notice was a huge contribution to the success of the night. Thank you again. And that is before we even mention your musicianship! You both have such great voices and Charlie, your ability on the guitar was the point of many discussions. I would happily recommend you to anyone who wants their event to be a success
