THE HORA WAS THE ABSOLUTE HIGHLIGHT!
Joe - wow wow wow! LDN were honestly WORLD CLASS. The energy, the vocals, the music - everything was amazing. It won’t be a surprise to you that I’m a self confessed perfectionist with high standards - and you surpassed all of my expectations. The band was epic and made the night.
I heard so many people say that this was the best band they’ve ever seen at a function! Thank you so much for everything - you should be very proud of the band you’ve built.
When it came to hiring LDN Entertainment to provide the music to fulfil his spectacular vision, Adam was initially reticent. He'd not seen the band perform at another Jewish event and so it felt like a bit of a risk for him to expect us to fulfil a pretty mega brief. We weren't shy to the task however and our 16 piece showband, combining singers from across many of our acts, frankly brought the house down. We worked on this one with Outrage Events, Ben Tenenblat Catering as well as JP Toastmaster and the suppliers synchronised to nail a chic aesthetic for the evening using classy darker colours, with a mirrored stage, black dancefloor, and black acrylic chairs.​
LOCATION - THE LONDONER
BAND - LDN SHOWBAND
HORA - 20 MIN SET
DINNER - ROTATING BAND
MAIN PARTY - 16 PIECE BAND
AFTER PARTY - DJ LIVE 8 PC
We started the evening with a 10 minute set to bring guests into the room - easing the vibe into the space. The couple entered to 'Let's Get Loud' by Jennifer Lopez in a full fiesta style frenzy before we launched straight into a 20 minute Hora, headed up by our company director, Joe. It was a first time performing the song 'Tel Aviv' by Omer Adam, and it certainly won't be the last as that was a real highlight.
​​​
With rotating lineups of musicians during the dinner and high energy bursts on the dancefloor between courses, the band performed almost non-stop from the 6pm guest entrance. Behind the scenes we had a nice spreadsheet to make sure that musicians got a break to recharge at various points whilst others took the spotlight to keep the performance alive throughout the night. We had guests singers Jaz Ellington and Jamie Johnson, booked at the special request of the couple, and they both brought some truly memorable vocal performances to the dinner.
​
Once we had reached flat-out party mode, all 300 guests stayed the course on the dancefloor for another 90 minutes of full-throttled 16 piece madness followed by an Ibiza centric DJ Live set with all the singers, sax and percussion, the highlight of this being 'Everytime We Touch' by Cascada. It was so nice to hear the newlyweds exclaim at the end of the night that they felt the gamble had paid off and then some!

"Huge, huge thank you to Joe and the rest of the LDN
party band for making our wedding! The band are true professionals who worked tirelessly in the lead up to deliver the most perfect wedding music for us and I cannot recommend working with them enough.
The band we’re great throughout the day, especially when it came to the specific Jewish elements. They worked closely with our cantor on the music for the ceremony and later in the day did a fantastic job of keeping all our guests involved during the Israeli dancing! We had lots of guests who hadn’t been to a Jewish wedding before and absolutely loved the whole thing!
​
We had so many compliments on the day and were delighted by the set list, the music and the team. Can't wait to see them again soon!"

This wedding was blogged here:
'I just wanted to say the BIGGEST THANK YOU to you guys!!! From the Hora to the rapping to the incredible singing, you guys literally rocked it and gave us the wedding of our dreams.
Everyone said it’s the best wedding band they’ve ever seen. Literally can’t thank you enough - just wish we could do it all over again xx'

'The hora set was perfectly authentic and really fun. The energy from the band was exactly what was needed. They were as good as any Klezmar Band I have seen. Would highly recommend.'

THINGS TO CONSIDER
- Do you want a traditional Cantor for your ceremony or one that draws influence from pop music?
- How long will our guests last when dancing the Hora?
​
- Do I want all music to be live throughout the day or could a DJ work for me?
