We hired The Watchtowers for my sisters wedding. They were super friendly, professional and flexible to the changing timings during the evening. The music was great and everyone enjoyed it so much. They got everyone up and dancing which is exactly what I had hoped for. Would definitely recommend them!! Thanks for making my sisters party so much fun.

Perfect evening to a perfect day. The Watchtowers had our guests on the dance floor from their first note till their last. We're both huge music lovers so picking a band with such a varied setlist was crucial for us and they did not disappoint. We'd absolutely recommend The Watchtowers to anyone we know getting married in the future.
