What can I say... This band was amazing from start to finish, we had an acoustic duo for the turn around for the wedding breakfast, the band and a DJ and Sax too. All of them were perfect and everything singles guest commented on how good they were. Before my big day I was wondering how it would all come together but they made the transitions run so smoothly I didn't even notice them setting up. They definitely got the crowd on there feet with every song and we couldn't wait for the to get back on during there breaks. I would definitely recommend Railroad Kin and if I have anymore events I would love to have them again. Their song choices are great too :)

Railroad Kin were absolutely amazing! They made our wedding day so perfect, from the acoustic set we added for our canapes to the music in the evening, nothing was too much of an ask for them. They performed the best rendition of our first dance song and was excellent all through the evening interacting with all the guests getting them involved throughout the evening.

Excellent! Don't think twice, just book. Railroad Kin booked through Warble definitely lived up to our expectations and more! From the moment we booked the band it was all very professional and friendly. Nearer to the time of our wedding we had more contact with the band, they replied quickly to emails and nothing was too much to ask. The band were flexible with time of arrival and were just a joy to work with. Upon meeting the band, they were dressed smartly and looked good. Each of the band members were so friendly and lovely! Every single person who attended our wedding said how much they loved the band. Thank you a million times over, I would recommend Railroad Kin and Warble and would definitely book again. Thank you so much, Suzanne and Rick

We had a great experience with Railroad Kin and Warble! From the very first email, Warble would always get back to us so quickly and clearly. And when it came to closer to the wedding, Railroad Kin were super helpful and quick to respond. But the best thing was them on the night of our wedding - they blew us away! All of our guests commented on how great they were, and they really got the party going! Thank you so much for all your help!

The booking process with Warble was so easy and each member of the team got back to us promptly and were really helpful. Even when we had to change our dates due to a family bereavement, they were really understanding and just sorted everything for us, which was a massive weight off our shoulders. Any queries we had on the lead up to the day, the band answered quickly and were super flexible and easy going. On the day they arrived on time, and and as soon as we showed them where to, they set up quickly without needing much from us at all. The band were fantastic, very talented group of guys who were also super fun and had lots of charisma. They were very down to earth and had a good laugh with our guests. The singer stayed on to DJ for us until midnight and was fantastic fun. The whole process from beginning to end was so easy, we felt supported throughout, and the end result was a fantastic party!

Railroad Kin were absolutely fab and really made it the best wedding ever! They were so full of energy and got everyone up dancing! They agreed to perform Annie's song for our first dance with no fuss at all and did this beautifully. All songs were just the right vibe and so entertaining with everyone singing along! The little acoustic session in the afternoon was also really lovely and provided some lovely background music while people started to mingle. The band manger in particular was so friendly whilst professional in the email correspondence in the run up and when I found out that he was the pianist, I was particularly pleased as in the videos we had watched when we were choosing a band, we had spotted how lovely and involved the pianist looked and was definitely what the sealed the deal for us to choose Railroad Kin. The whole band on the day were brilliant and so friendly. They were amazing value for money, and I would hire them again in a heartbeat for any big party we may have in the future.

We booked Railroad Kin through Warble and could not be happier! The band were absolutely amazing on the night, all of our guests had a blast and that is exactly what we wanted. They were professional, so easy to communicate with and accommodated all of our asks. Warble who we booked them through were also great, super quick to respond and very very helpful when it came to all of our questions. I couldn't recommend both Warble and Railroad Kin enough!

When we stumbled upon Railroad Kin on Warble's website, we were hooked! They filled all our criteria - feel good vibe, top saxophonist, great vocals, an all-round talented set of musicians and a fine looking bunch of chaps. The arrangements with Warble were managed seamlessly. The band manager was faultless in his communication beforehand - responsive, friendly, knowledgeable - a very safe pair of hands! The compliments received from the guests all said the same thing - ABSOLUTELY AWESOME! The saxophonist pitched it just right during the ceremony and the trio were superb as background music during the wedding breakfast. We were only a small group of people, so the evening had the potential to fall flat but the band knocked it out of the park, made it feel like the venue was alive and we partied all night. They played, sang and performed like the pros they are. Totally epic and made everyone feel part of it. What a treat! Thank you for making our day guys!

Railroad Kin were excellent and I fully recommend them for anyone needing a live band. Before the event I had great communication with them who were more than happy to support my event for however I needed. On the day they were great to meet and ultimately proved to be the highlight of the day. Their sets were brilliant and worked perfectly with the rest of the event. Everyone loved the music from these extremely talented musicians and I extend many thanks from me as well as all the attendees who had an amazing night thanks to Railroad Kin.
