What can we say......The River Dogs, you absolutely smashed it out of the park on Saturday night. From the very first song, the dance floor was full and remained that way until the very end, something which has never happened before. We have been overwhelmed with positive feedback about the night and how good you guys were. If anyone is looking for a Top Band that will get people up and dancing all night, The River Dogs are who you show be booking. Thanks again to you all!!!

The River Dogs were an amazing band. The band contacted me before the wedding to confirm all the arrangements and to discuss song choices. I really appreciated this. The band were so friendly and arrived at the venue early .Their style of music was right up our street and they had everyone up and dancing for their entire sets. Many of our guests have commented how much they enjoyed the band. We would definitely recommend them to other bride and grooms and for parties. They made our wedding reception a night we'll never forget!

How lucky were we to manage to land such a great band for our marquee wedding! Everything from the lead up, the planning and the actual day was great. Dan was so helpful going through logistics, timings and the set list (we had a right mix of requests from our guests which the band all accommodated brilliantly either in their sets or in the DJ section). The set up on the day was so subtle we hardly noticed them during the wedding breakfast. They were great having our first dance played then seamlessly started their first set and man did it just get better! The dance floor was packed for the whole night with everyone having a great time. I think every single guest we had commented on how great the band were. I can't recommend this band more highly, if you get the opportunity to have them play at your event just book them! Thank you so much for making our day so much fun.

We loved it. The whole thing, from the acoustic set to the evening, was great. Your choice of songs was perfect, and I think you guys really suited our vibe. We got so many compliments on how good you guys were musically as well as entertaining. We really hope you enjoyed it too. Good luck with everything, and thanks again!

From the day we started planning our wedding, music was always going to be a huge thing and we were totally set on having a band. We looked and saw The River Dogs. The type of music they played was right up our street so we booked them straight away. It was great to speak to a member of the band before the big day so that we could make specific requests for certain songs. They created a perfect set list based on our requests and it was perfect. So many people came up to us after the gig on the day and said how great they were. They really made the night and their performance was perfect. The fact they were a great bunch of lads who were a pleasure to have at our wedding was the added bonus. Would recommend to anyone!
