We knew we wanted live music at our wedding. We booked The Guidefires through Warble because we loved the sound of their own twist on classic, well-known songs. Well... we were blown away by the band! They did an amazing cover of our first dance song; they are such talented musicians. All our guests were on the dancefloor for their whole set, and everyone commented on how brilliant they were. The Guidefires were professional, friendly, and great fun. We would highly recommend including the saxophonist when booking The Guidefires, as he was an incredible musician! Their manager was responsive and helpful in the run-up to our wedding day. The booking process was easy through Warble, and we found the website and videos of the artists very helpful when choosing our wedding entertainment. 5/5. Sophie & James

I was looking for a band for our wedding, and found Warble. Contacting them was easy, they were very responsive. They gave me the list of bands available according to my need - the process was really smooth. I booked The Guidefires from Warble - one of the band they had recommended. The bands were really really good. They and their manager Rich - cannot recommend them enough. They made our day really enjoyable. Almost all the guests were in the dance floor and everyone were praising their performances.

Hiring a band is always a difficult experience and we could not have been in safer hands! We wanted something special for the day time so we hired Billy to perform as a soloist for us and then the rest of the band performed in the evening. Everything was so special and the perfect accompaniment to our wedding day.

We hired the band for our business birthday party which we turned into a mini festival. The band turned up early and were perfect gentlemen even though we were running behind schedule. When the band finally managed to do their thing we were blown away and everyone was up and boogying away! We will be definitely hiring them for next years party!

The best party band we have ever seen and something everyone should get to experience. We had a fantastic time and all my friends have been asking for the bands name and number for their own parties! We will be sure to recommend!

We really wanted a folk style band with a saxophone player which believe it or not seems to be harder to find than you would think and then we found you guys and we are so thankful that we chose you! Your performance from start to finish and you were all so lovely to have at our wedding. Huge thanks also singing our first dance - it's a moment we will cherish.

The best birthday surprise possible! I knew my husband was going to organise something special as he always likes to go all out but this was the icing on the cake! The band even performed a special Coldplay song at his request for me! I feel like a very lucky lady!

You need to hear these guys! We wanted a band that would be able to get both our grandparents and our little nieces and nephews on the dance floor and they did not fail. The band were perfect for our wedding and we wish we could do the whole night again!
