Joe… I cannot thank you enough from the bottom of my heart for everything. You guys were literally the best part of the entire day, not just saying it. Everyone and I mean everyone, are messaging me saying how amazing the band were!! So glad we added Eloise too. Just absolutely insane, all of them!! I just want to do it all over again with you guys. Thank you thank you thank you! X
On our 3rd visit within 12 months to the renowned London hotel, Claridges, we were tasked with a really exciting varied brief. Harriet had a really clear vision that she wanted to simultaneously compliment the grandeur of the venue with classy performances throughout the day, but retain the ecstasy of a raucous Greek wedding.
DRINKS RECEPTION - HARP
DINNER - PIANO/VOCAL DUO
MAIN PARTY - 12 PIECE BAND
AFTER PARTY - DJ LIVE TRIO
In having the dining space (the Ballroom) and party space (the Mirror Room) separate from one another, we were able to achieve a really clear contrasting feel between the elegance and peace of the couple's marriage, with a harp player and a duo performing through to the end of the dinner, and the sheer energy of the 12 piece LDN City Collective band and DJ live experience.
To add to the vibe they also booked an authentic Greek bouzouki duo who brought an extra layer of frenzy to the party that was truly a shoulder-to-shoulder dancefloor for the whole night.

I've been meaning to message you. Thank you so so much, you guys were absolutely insane. We've had so many people say how sick the band was. You couldn't have bought more vibes if you tried and it was genuinely more than we could have hoped for, so thank you! - Someone just sent me a video of Unwritten (round 1), literally THE best! So many of our guests have asked how/where we found the band and that you guys are the best band ever!
Shortly after the guests had been entertained by a gospel choir during the drinks reception, they entered the stretch tent to our band performing some R&B classics - Nikki & Tom's entrance song was 'Let Me Love You' by Mario, then we went straight on to send the 300 guests into pandemonium with our short high energy sets before starters and after mains. Guests were up on their feet as we belted out renditions of 'Believe', 'Angels', 'Unwritten' and more! We had the whole band performing for this which just gave the whole thing an extra punch!
The 7 piece band then brought the guests to the dancefloor for 2 x 1 hour sets to a crowd including Mark Wright and Michelle Keegan. On the other side of the estate was our Deep House DJ waiting to bring the guests in for a late night set.

AFTER PARTY - DEEP HOUSE DJ
After seeing the band at a wedding in Scotland the previous year, Lauren & Elliott were keen to have the band for their own special day! This was a true all dayer... we started with Wallis performing some hymns in the ceremony before launching straight into a trio set backed by guitar and drums in the drink reception. We then shuffled the pack a bit during the drinks to bring in Jay and Joe to the fold to warm up the guests a bit.
For the dinner, we shipped over to Bovino's where we treated the guest to some full band sets, played from local-made podiums. Their special request here was Hero - Enrique Iglesias which predictably went off!!
During the cocktail hour, we had a DJ getting the guests going some more as the sun began to set, and after a quick dress change, the bride and groom were greeted with confetti for their first dance. Our 10 piece band brought the house down and we played a pretty diverse range of music here, culminating in another special request of theirs - 'Something Just Like This' by Coldplay ft Chainsmokers.
Another successful event with Zoe Jordan of Eden Events, who always seems to pull off the most beautiful event design to compliment our musical performances. We're looking forward to seeing Lauren and Elliott soon in Barbados where their friends have just booked us to fly!

PRODUCTION PACKAGES
In order to simplify your decision making process, we offer two straightforward packages to support the showband; STANDARD and PREMIUM. Unless you are tied in to providing sound production yourself, all our clients will require sound production and a sound engineer, therefore this is included in both packages. The standard package includes some lighting and is connected together in such a way that it runs automatically. Our premium package, however, includes a lighting engineer who can design the lighting to beautifully complement the event and also react in real time to the movement of the music. The premium lighting package involves much more comprehensive lighting and also includes our sleek staging.
OUR PREMIUM PACKAGE (STAGE ALSO AVAILABLE IN WHITE)
Whilst we offer the 2 straightforward package options for tech we also are delighted to offer fully bespoke design to compliment our music. It may be that your overall event design requires us to slot in with a specific look, or you just want to go huge with the vision and take a version of our premium package and upgrade it to really go BIG! Be it mirrored staging, lighting rigs in the ceiling, an all white aesthetic, or lights on podiums around the room, there is usually an answer to most requests and using our extensive expertise in the industry we can help you make your vision a beautiful reality. If you want to go bespoke, simply request a call with our AV team to start to put these ideas in motion. We can give you an advanced quote and also look into any restrictions that may need to be overcome in order to make it happen. When we're putting together unique designs we do need time on the day or before the day to execute them to the highest standard, so it's worth bearing in mind not all bespoke designs can be achieved in a short room turnaround!
DINNER SETS
Our high-energy dinner sets are about as lively as they come! Whilst they may not be for everyone, if your guests are the type to love a sing-a-long, then it's most definitely an opportunity not to miss!
We usually begin with a 10 minute set to bring guests to their seats - if it's a wedding, we'll then bring the couple in with a big tune, then follow that with a couple more.
We then allow service/speeches to happen as is traditional and come back after mains once hot food is complete; to the delight of most caterers! The 2nd dinner roaming set is usually about 15 minutes of songs and MUST be all big tunes. We want to wrap up the meal in style, and we like to mix up a range of songs that are tried and tested in this environment (i.e. Gimme Gimme Gimme/Freed From Desire/Angels) with songs that are perhaps more unconventional and will take your guests by surprise in delightful fashion. After all, we don't want to just give people a re-run of every other wedding they've been to, but instead give them something that feels truly unique. For this reason, we'll spend a good while with you chatting through the best options for these sets, to try and uncover songs that might particularly connect with you and your guests and not just the average punter.
Conventional songs that work for dinner sets:
Gimme Gimme Gimme - ABBA
Freed From Desire - Gala
Believe - Cher
Unwritten - Natasha Bedinfield
Can't Take My Eyes Off You - Franki Valli
Angels - Robbie Williams
Wonderwall - Oasis
Sweet Caroline - Neil Diamond
