We booked the Bowermen for our wedding. Warble were amazing to work with and always responded in a timely manner with all the info the band required and the requests/time frame we had proposed. It could not have been easier to book and organise the band for the day. The band were simply incredible, I have never been to a party where everyone has got up to dance, but these guys managed to get everyone dancing! Even our older relatives! They are an extremely talented group and absolutely made the evening for us. They also controlled a playlist for us in between sets and played our first dance song via Spotify too so we didn't have to worry about getting it all set up. The style of music they play was perfect for us and our guests. I knew they would be good when we booked them, but they completed exceeded expectations. To the Bowermen - you have our greatest thanks for a wonderful evening to end our perfect day. I would highly recommend booking them, they do not disappoint. Thanks again from J&A

We booked The Bowermen for our wedding and they were fantastic. From the booking process through to actually meeting the band, everything ran so smoothly which is definitely essential when planning a wedding! The band were exactly what we wanted for our evening reception and every member is super talented at what they do. Their set list had a great mix of songs for all tastes and the dance floor was full all night! Thank you to The Bowermen and Warble. :)

Warble were great, quick to respond and easy to use. The Bowermen exceeded all our expectations, from the first moment of getting in touch, to the end of the night we didn't have to worry about a single thing. They were honestly absolutely fantastic and we couldn't have been happier. The range of songs was perfect, it kept everyone on the dance floor all evening! They learnt our first dance song and performed it so well. They were all so friendly and up for a laugh. We have had so many people ask who they were so they can book them in the future and if we ever have another event they will be our first choice. Everyone also really enjoyed the sax set at the end, it made it a little different and really finished the night on a high.

After searching for bands online for what felt like forever we got in touch with Warble with the type of bands we were looking for and they provided us with a range that were available on the date of our wedding party and we settled on The Bowermen. The booking process was quick and seamless and as promised the band got in touch with us 4 weeks before via email and on the phone to confirm some of our requirements. The Bowermen were absolutely incredible and exceeded our expectations! Such a lovely group of lads! They had our guests on the dance floor all night and all our guests commented on how superb they were. We didn't want the evening to end!

I don't have much else to say about The Bowermen besides, they MADE OUR WEDDING! We were so pleased they were free on our date, so we booked straight away and it was honestly one of the best decisions we made when planning our wedding reception. They fit in perfectly with our venue and the vibe we wanted and they just sounded fantastic. So so pleased - please pass on our thanks to all of the band members! We'd recommend them in a heartbeat.

I planned a festival themed wedding and it's safe to say that The Bowermen made our day. Since we booked them for our wedding band, they have been amazing, so helpful and responsive on email and generally helpful and positive to work with. The party really was incredible. I didn't leave the dance floor once, and have the blisters to prove it! Everyone said on the night and the next day, how amazing the band were. Thank you so much guys! 5*s all round!
