I cannot thank you guys enough for everything you did for the wedding. It was just seamless, it was the music perfect PERFECT music set. Everyone killed it for the rehearsal dinner, the cocktails, the ceremony. You brought an energy that I will never ever forget for the rest of my life to that wedding that day. The sax playing, the games you played with them, making everyone sing. It was just absolute perfection.
Thank you so much for everything you did for us. I hope you all had an absolute blast and got home ok! Wow, what a weekend!

The House of Ellington flew out for this idyllic 2 day event, at which our performers made a number of appearances. At the rehearsal dinner, Aleysha and Jerome (keys), performed a beautiful duo set at the GH Tremezzo Hotel. Special request was 'That's Amore' to set the scene on a gorgeous Italian evening.
Fast forward to wedding day, where we kicked off the ceremony teaming up with string quartet to perform a dreamy rendition of 'I'm Kissing You' by Des'ree. The guests took a short walk along the lake in 30 degree bliss to the aperitif where they were met by Jaz and George doing a guitar/vocal duo - after 45 min we rotated the singers for a change in flavour where Kirsten jumped in and performed the son of the bride's special request 'Watermelon Sugar' by Harry Styles. The dinner took place in the glass house of Villa Pizzo where everntually House of Ellington 8 piece band took over and kicked off performing the Father/Daughter dance 'Something Got Me Started' by Simply Red. We partied the night away, starting with a soul heavy first set, progressing into some more contemporary bangers. Then it was time to hand over to Alice and Taylor who took the guests into the early hours with a newlywed DJ duo set!

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.

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!
Omgggg I can’t even put in to words how incredible you guys were last night. You honestly made us have the best day of our life and we can’t thank you enough!!
We can’t thank you enough for the most incredible weekend. You guys completely made it for us and went beyond anything we could have dreamt of 💛

Sophie & Tom’s wedding unforgettable bonanza of Italian delights… Guests arrived in the late afternoon sunshine for the ceremony in the gardens, where we had the privilege of springing a surprise flashmob moment straight after the “you may kiss the bride” – bursting into This Will Be by Natalie Cole.
Despite 32-degree heat during the ceremony (and some heroic stamina from our guitarist who pushed through heatstroke), the evening rolled on with a stunning aperitif before guests made their way inside for dinner. Our roaming sets brought incredible energy to the meal - definitely a vibey crowd -with standout moments like a candlelit rendition of High by Lighthouse Family, with all the guests surrounding Sophie and Tom and of course our R&B A-Z medley.
The first dance to Love Is In The Air set the tone for an amazing party where, later in the night, we had Sophie and Tom join us on stage for some unforgettable singalong moments – particularly Feel (Robbie Williams) and Evergreen (Will Young).
Day two was the perfect hangover cure; more aperols, pizza and DJ Joe providing the soundtrack to a sun-drenched pool party, joined by a roaming bongo player.

Hey my love! I’m so sorry it’s taken in this long to reply it’s been a WHIRLWIND! Firstly thank you so so much! You absolutly made our day you, Jai and the whole band are just something else 🥹🥹 I will never ever forget coming into the ball room both times but especially on our own 😍 our friends and family can’t stop saying how incredible you are and that you guys are the best band they have ever seen! We will never be able to thank you enough!
Have the best Christmas and new year and PLEASE can we grab a coffee (or a wine) in the new year xxxxx
As far as last gigs before Christmas go, this wedding was right up there. Sometimes we feel a sense of pride after an event, knowing that we've really warmed up a crowd well - the difference with this lot is that they needed no warming up whatsoever. The minute we started performing as they entered at dinner they were HERE for it!
One of the most perfectly timed bride and groom entrances we can remember was a highlight, as was live the melodica solo for the intro of All Rise by our sax set. Since Hedsor House is spread across multiple rooms, we did DJ led dinner set with a smaller lineup, but as you can see on the video here, it didn't affect the energy.
When the guest came through to the Central Hall to be blown away by the 12 piece band, the energy in the room reached a level of electricity that even the band were surprised to see!

WOW, WOW, WOW - LDN WERE HONESTLY WORLD CLASS. THE ENERGY, THE VOCALS, THE MUSIC - EVERYTHING WAS AMAZING
‘A big big thank you to you and the team for putting a magical night together it was incredible. The split stage was fab, it looked so chic and clean. So so happy with the band it really made the night, thank you thank you thank you!’
So often, destination weddings have us flying to tropical beaches and far-flung locations - but what a gift it was when J&J flew in from New York to celebrate their destination wedding at one of London’s most prestigious settings, the iconic @claridgeshotel .
LDN Roams brought the perfect suave sophistication and glamour that these two deserved - the ideal match for a couple who chose our incredible city as their backdrop. There’s something truly special about showcasing our own turf and reminding the world why London remains unmatched for elegance and timeless celebration.
We came up with a unique stage design for the band on this one where the stage was split either side of the dance floor with the band half on each side to create a really immersive vibe.
Thank you J&J for trusting us to entertain every unforgettable moment of your weekend 🤍

When Brenda Babcock Celebrations gave us the call to perform at this wedding, we jumped at the challenge. Brenda's colourful mediterranean designs beautifully complimented the vibrance of this festival going pair. Rarely does the energy of a couple reach the heights of Lizzy and Matt, and we flew home from Florence with our own post-wedding blues! The brief was ambitious, and the challenges we were met with in the process made it even more so, but it goes down as one of the most memorable weekends in our years of performing across the world.
Day 1 saw a welcome dinner in the evening with a local Italian band ripping up the restaurant with some traditional Italian tunes whilst everyone enjoyed a drink or three. Meanwhile the band were touching down at Florence airport.
On Day 2 we provided DJ + Sax for the pool party at which we had the guests vibing to a deep house set whilst being soaking with bubble guns.
Then came the wedding day - and here we had a huge array of special moments lined up. The ceremony was certainly not one we'll forget any time soon, as Lizzy had cued us up to surprise Matt with a pop-up performance of 'All You Need Is Love' in the style of Love Actually with our musicians/horns/singers popping out of the windows, to the guests' sheer delight!
The plan was then to jump across to the terrace to sound check for our dinner roaming set, but to say the heavens opened is honestly a severe understatement. The AV company hadn't expected quite such a rain storm, and the power box they'd place under a table got flooded, and so when the rain eased off they discovered it had blown... we were able to work together fortunately and rustle up a sound system to come out of the house enabling us to tear it up for our dinner roaming sets. After mains we had the guests in full swing, standing on their chairs on songs like 'Unwritten' and 'How You Remind Me' by Nickelback - a tune Lizzy had dropped into conversation on whatsapp as a joke, days before the wedding, probably was the highlight!
Transitioning from dinner to the party was fun too - it was a bit of a walk so our two saxes did a pied piper style walking ditty, where they had the guests following them to the nightclub to the tune of 'Signed, Sealed, Delivered' by Stevie Wonder - when they arrived in the space, the band seamlessly joined in with the song (it's like we'd planned it!).
The party which had been relocated to indoors, started with the LDN Showband performing the first dance which was 'Iris' by The Goo Goo Dolls - then frankly spiralled right until reportedly about 6am in the morning.

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.

LDN Entertainment made our wedding. I couldn’t imagine our day without them, from start to finish they were just incredible. One thing all of our guests have mentioned is the music. Our love story entrance was iconic and the R&B medley ❤️
We met Tia and Jake out in Portugal in 2024 at the wedding of Lauren and Elliott. As that wedding drew to a close, they asked if we’d be interested in flying to Barbados for theirs. Needless to say, we didn’t have to think too long about that one. While it’s not a typical wedding destination for British couples, we honestly couldn’t recommend it highly enough. Aside from the obvious perks—weather and sea—the food was incredible at every single meal.
Because the flight time is nine hours and the costs are high for flying a band to Barbados, we flew a hybrid six-piece made up of LDN Roams and Wide Awake, in order to cover as much of the entertainment as we could with a smaller group.
Our itinerary started with two sets of acoustic roaming during the drinks reception to welcome guests with some Caribbean classics to set the scene. When guests arrived 20 minutes early with no warning, we immediately broke a sweat sprinting into position—less than ideal in full tuxedos in 30°C heat!
Then came the dinner sets, where we debuted our R&B A-Z medley—a 26-song mashup running through the entire alphabet of R&B singalong bangers. Tia and Jake went mad for it, and so did the guests, to the point that we couldn’t move from our spots once we were in position. That didn’t matter, because the cacophonous energy in the space meant all the focus was exactly where it should be.
Once dinner service was complete, we transformed into Wide Awake for the evening in a DJ live setup. Ben (guitarist) became the DJ, Dessie moved from cajón to percussion, and Eloise and Jay fronted the vocals. The night was seen out in style with a great mix of club classics, new EDM tunes, and vibey R&B. We would very happily go back for a round two in Barbados!!

What an utterly beautiful wedding. Ziad, our groom is an event planner, so expectations we certainly high when it came to carrying out his vision. The couple live together in Dubai and made the trip out to meet us in Majorca in the mountains. Serendipitously, we had another wedding on the other side of the island the night before, so we literally drove ourselves across the island to meet the couple on their wedding morning. The event itself, ran flawlessly with a gorgeous setting complimenting some totally delicious food which we were treated to. We started off the day with Joe jumping in after the ceremony with a solo sax set, playing an array of R&B classics during the cocktail hour. The drum band then brought the guests up to the main dining area!
As the guests arrived in the space where they'd eventually eat, we invited the couple for their first dance which was 'It's Now or Never' by Elvis Presley, as they moved to their seats, we joined the guests for a sing song. We performed 'Killing Me Softly', 'Stand By Me' and 'Hey Jude' in the first set, which our director, Joe, taking the somewhat risky decision to stand on the edge of a fountain for extra stage presence. One of the guests notably was heard exclaiming 'Don't do it!'. The second set included 'Can't Take My Eyes Off You', 'Believe' and 'Sweet Caroline'. Our party sets later on were a great success with the guests going absolutely wild for our Boyband vs Girlband medley. We ended the night with our only ever live performance of 'Bohemian Rhapsody' by Queen; a challenge we enjoyed making our best go of!

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.

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.

Skyline Jazz kicked us off here with a dinner swing set from the centre-point of the wedding breakfast. The singers serenaded the guests with Sinatra classics from the beautifully monogrammed dancefloor.
Our 10 piece then took the party to the next level with a vibey set, spanning the genres, with Joe DJing between the sets to keep it alive!

I just wanted to say thank you again for everything you guys did. It was literally mind blowing. I've never seen anything like it. Every single one of your team were phenomenal and literally made our wedding!!! We will post as many reviews as you like, and, if you ever have any clients who want to speak to a former client we'd be happy to help! You guys all deserve every success in the future. <3
Sometimes we get a brief, and it's so irresistible that we can't imagine NOT doing the event. This was just one of those - when Darren and Tom reached out the vision was so clear and so excited, we got planning right away. Taking place shortly after covid, the guest count was relatively low - to put it into perspective; their were approximately 50 guests at the wedding, and similarly approximately 50 performers, including 30 with LDN. Darren and Tom wanted a flowing program of entertainment that stayed interesting and was never just run of the mill. The other thing that was extremely important to them was that the live music would continue throughout the day.
Once we had touched down in Glasgow, we made our way by coach to Gleneagles as a fully assembled team for sound checks. As we simultaneously prepared in the venue for our performances, it was Fortissimi who kicked us off, with the seating of the guests and a gorgeous processional in the ceremony to 'Canon in D'. Once the couple had made their exit to 'Marry You' by Bruno Mars, the wedding party made their way across to a saloon bar style space where they were greeted by Sarah and Skyline Jazz who entertained the guests through their drinks reception with some Postmodern Jukebox themed music. It was only 2:30pm at this point but the guests were already absolutely dancing - proving it's not just about the quantity of guests but the quality too!
The dinner was time to welcome back Fortissimi Strings who were now joined by Midé, the beatboxer, and again proving them again to be not just any boring string quartet, as they had the guests out of their seats dancing when they were meant to be enjoying their steaks! After dinner the guests went outside to be entertained even more by some fireworks and a line of 15 bagpipers playing on the roof of Gleneagles - lit up in silhouette, this was a truly stunning moment that we'd not seen done before...
Then - carnival time!! Our singers, horns, and percussionists interrupted the cocktail reception with a flashmob style rendition of 'Conga' by Gloria Estefan, where we led the guests through, pied piper style into the ballroom which had been transformed to welcome the 15 piece band, who locked in with the carnival procession as the doors opened to continue the performance of Conga with full bodied magnitude! The party continued with the mega band including their first dance of 'Crazy in Love' which was choreographed by our company director's wife, Katie!
During the band's break, Wide Awake 7 piece took over for an hour's set in which they performed some more contemporary tunes supported by an array of gogo dancers - some with lampshades on their heads.
This was truly a night to remember and one that we all felt like we needed after a painful 2 years of lockdown!

Thank goodness for air conditioning! - on the hottest day of the year, performing our high-energy dinner sets was quite a challenge. When Chloe first reached out, her main goal was simply to make sure that her wedding party was a vibe throughout the day. Eventually we settled on an itinerary that ensure just that!
We started out with a sax set in the drinks reception which then flowed through to the guests entrance for dinner, where the whole band were waiting for the guests, performing smooth soul classics to set up the space before Bill & Chloe then made their grand entrance to 'I'm Your Man' by Wham!. The post mains dinner set included some more bangers like 'All Rise' by Blue and 'High' by the Lighthouse Family. We saw out the party with 2 hours of classics from the LDN Showband followed by the DJ closing out the evening.

This wedding featured an absolutely charming couple in Amy and James. We often tell our clients when they're worried about the vibe on the night, that the guests will follow the vibe they give off. For these two it was natural and of course everyone followed, as you can see on the videos!
They entered to a barnstorming rendition of We Found Love followed by a Hora set featuring all the Jewish classics. At dinner, everyone was on their feet, singing their hearts out. But it was the party sets that stole the show for this one.........
Why not add a power cut to add a bit of spice to your wedding entertainment? You can’t really plan these things, but when something unexpected happens on a wedding day it often leads to the most memorable moments.
30 seconds into our hip hop medley at Amy and James’ wedding, we were confronted with a 2 minute long power cut. Rather than stopping though, the two guys who could make a bit of noise without amplification launched into a sax/drums jam. You’ll notice the lights come back on eventually, but our sound engineer cunningly kept the desk muted for a few more seconds so that the band could come in with full impact!
We may be offering the ‘Power Cut Package’ as part of our 2026 offerings after this one ;)

I just wanted to say once again a huge thank you to you and your team for everything you did to ensure that Alesha and Jere’l’s wedding weekend (and all the preparations and logistics beforehand) went off so successfully - I know that they were absolutely thrilled and somewhat overwhelmed by it all!
When your couple say “intimate wedding” but their energy screams “festival vibes” - you know you’re in for something special! This incredible American duo chose the rolling hills of the English countryside as their backdrop, and honestly, we couldn’t have asked for a more perfect setting.
The day kicked off with Phoebe weaving magic on the violin, transforming contemporary hits into something beautifully classical. What followed was pure musical chaos in the best possible way - our acoustic sets turned into impromptu concerts, with A+J leading the charge and proving that the best weddings happen when you throw the rulebook away. From soulful ballads during dinner to absolute bangers that had three generations on the dancefloor together, this celebration was a masterclass in how to party with heart.
By the time our DJ Ben was spinning the final tracks under the stars, we knew we’d witnessed something truly special. Some weddings you perform at, others you get to be part of - this was definitely the latter.

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!

We worked with Majorca planners Mille Papillons (meaning 1000 butterflies) on this gorgeous event in the Majorcan countyside. Here we had the pleasure of sound checking in 34 degree heat, which was a challenge for the decks to avoid over-heating, or burning Joe's fingertips for that matter! We also had the bridal party getting ready during said sound check who were vibing out on the balcony as they took their first swigs of champagne. It was pretty clear this was going to be a good night.
We weren't due to play our first set until 11pm, such is the way with later set schedules in hot countries, and Wide Awake did 2 x 1 hour live sets with Joe DJing until 3am. At no point during this time did the dancefloor even begin to threaten to calm down, especially with a few of the guests getting up and singing late on in the night.
The highlight of the night without a doubt would have been Josh (the groom's) guest appearance on stage to flawlessly perform all of the raps of 'In the End' - Linkin Park. Epic!

After booking the bands, Tash logged onto a zoom with our managing director, Joe only to quickly realise that not only did they know each other, but they were in the same block together at uni as freshers (15 years ago!). Tash and Dave wanted something a bit different to spice up their ceremony, so they had the band and string quartet flashmob their guests for the recessional, with musicians popping up in the pews of the church.
Fortissimi Strings continued through the drinks reception with the addition of the beatboxer before the guests headed over to the marquee for dinner.

The band then brought the guests through to dinner - from the second that guests started coming through it was pretty evident that this would be a fun one. We treated them to a rendition of our R&B A-Z medley - which is literally 26 R&B songs through the whole alphabet! You can see a preview of this here... literally every song is bangers, except maybe (admittedly) Z...
We had some other massive tunes in there including Pink Pony Club, Believe, Freed from Desire and I'm Like A Bird. Needless to say it all went off, so the bride and groom took a moment during cocktails to do a costume change before they were treated to 2 hours of our 9 piece LDN Showband. Sometimes when the guests give us so much of their energy at dinner its a surprise that the energy doesn't dip later, but in this instance they didn't disappoint!

We started this one with a delightful ceremony, which saw Eloise and Alastair duo singing the procession down the aisle, before the guests joined them for a raucous rendition of 'Jerusalem'!
Moving on to the drinks, Jay and Ben had the guests dancing straight away to their roaming acoustic duo, where everyone was getting nice and ramped up early doors :)
Moving on to dinner, we had Eloise and Alastair duo again to bring the couple in to 'Signed, Sealed, Delivered' then performing lounge music during the courtses.
For the evening party, it was the turn of the 12 piece LDN City Collective to join in the fun with an electric 2 hours of a buzzing dance floor! The first dance was 'Someone Like You' by Van Morrison performed by Cartell. It was then down to DJ Ben to see the night out!

Alex and I are finally back in the land of the living following the weekend and wanted to say thank you so much for all of the hard work you and your team put into Saturday! I know that it was a little disjointed in the lead-up at times but you certainly understood the assignment on the night! It was such a godsend for you to sort travel, accommodation and off-site meals, as well as to push for us to use Tim.
You and your team are such talented musicians - we, as well as Saskia and Ross and all of the guests, were so happy with the performance on the night. To keep 75+ people on the dance floor until 1am in full period costume and wigs is no mean feat! The fact that you understand the planning side of things as well as the performance side of things is invaluable to us and we wouldn't hesitate to work with you again.
Truly, when you're accustomed to costumed events, it's quite rare that a costume theme will take your breath away, but the commitment by Saskia and Ross' guests was next level.
The story behind this party is even cooler - they are a couple who are currently in their 3rd year of sailing the world, and this party was simply their excuse to see as many friends as possible whilst on dry land, and boy did they do so in style.
Fortissimi slotted into this event perfectly in the Bridgerton style, fully embedding into the drinks and dinner, adding to the theatricality. The night was finished off by an epic set by Wide Awake which literally had people in corsets dipping it low...

One of our favourite planners, Susie Evans brought us onboard for this fabulous countryside wedding at our couple Becca and Harry's family home. With a lot of family in attendance as well as loads of friends, the goal for us was bring the whole wedding party together.
The roaming band kicked us off by surprising the guests in the ceremony for the recessional before leading them across to the drinks reception. After serenading pockets of guests throughout that moment, they led the whole wedding party once again to the marquee where they were greeted by the full LDN Showband on podiums. Everyone was up in their seats for the whole 2 dinner sets and even a few bridesmaid tears were shed to the Lighthouse Family - 'High' which was a really cute close family moment.
Finally it was the up to the showband to see night out, with Luminaire Productions providing some spectacular moments including confetti cannons in the first dance and an amazing set that popped open to reveal the lighting after the first dance!
If you're a fan of musical theatre, you might enjoy our rendition of 'From Now On' - The Greatest Showman in the video of the party...
THIS BAND IS OUT OF THIS WORLD!
Joe and the band were a joy to work with from start to finish. The process of curating the evening was personal (the band will gladly learn a song with enough notice) and the performance on the night was truly memorable.
All guests the remarked how much fun they had and how well the band performed. Thank you!
Adam and Meg came across LDN after hearing good things from some friends who had attended another Jewish wedding we performed at. After we’d nailed down the production requirements for their wedding with GE Production, we set about designing the music for the day. They had Jonny Turgel (our partnered chazzan), with two string players and a keyboard for their Chuppah.
The rest of the wedding featured a number of special moments. Before the couple’s entrance for the Hora, their toddler niece and nephew led them in—riding little sit-in remote-control cars! A hilarious but very endearing touch.
Adam also had a surprise up his sleeve for Megan. After his groom speech, he burst into song, accompanied by the band, with a rendition of Can’t Take My Eyes Off You. To make the moment even more high-pressure for himself, he then turned to the drum kit and played while singing. Needless to say, Meg was speechless, and the guests went absolutely wild for it.
Their party sets between courses featured some excellent outside-the-box requests, including Torn (Natalie Imbruglia), Complicated (Avril Lavigne), and Everlong (Foo Fighters)—which Adam didn’t hesitate to get up on stage and sing with us!

With a lead time of 8 days between the initial enquiry and the actual event, this was a true opportunity to put our logistics system to the test. We worked together closely with the client's PA to make sure that everything ran smoothly, and boy it did! A true testament that with a focussed mind you can make it happen. We made sure that all flights/accommodation and transfers were booked with 5 days to spare to make sure that we had time to hone in on the idiosyncrasies of the event.
This event was the birthday party of a supermarket owner, so whilst we wanted to make the night fun for everyone, we also wanted it to feel special for the birthday boy, so a last minute special request and some awesome interactive performances made it just that. Not to mention of course a big rendition of 'Happy Birthday'!

GUYS!! We are so late in this note but Sam and I are just still reliving every moment with your incredible team on our wedding day. We have never been so blown away by a performer or moved by how personal / interactive / authentic every performance felt. We could not have picked a better band and we will never forget how much you stepped up to make our day and night raging / memorable despite some schedule issues on our end. You’re not only talented AF (singing dancing crowd work leading all the performers and playing allllll the instruments !??) but a genuine blast to be around. We are so so so amazed by you!
We are overwhelmed with gratitude and would love to mail you a little token of our thanks.
Huge huge thanks and hugs! We would love to work with LDN again at our next London party! Xoxo

It's ALWAYS a pleasure to work with one of our favourite planners on the circuit, ByChenai.
Few planners have such a clear idea of how they want a wedding to flow, and whilst she always creates weddings that are stunning by aesthetic, it is always experience first and foremost. At the end of the day, the wedding is usually the biggest party most of our clients will ever throw!
We kick started the drinks reception with a head-turning performance by Fortissimi Strings, who had the guests filming away, particularly at their rendition of 'White Lotus' Theme tune. Transitioning to a vibey party in the stretch tent, we had an absolutely packed dance floor from before the couple had even made their entrance for the first dance. Still talked about 1 year on, was their specially chosen encore song 'All I Want For Christmas Is You' by Mariah Carey, performed in early August!! Ari's reasoning for choosing this was a) for the novelty of doing it in summer and b) because the sentiment stands all year round. And honestly, we love her for it!
The after party's theme was RED. So we lit the room up awash in scarlet and party til the early hours with Joe and Chris teaming up for a sax/DJ combo!
There are few venues in London that have quite such a natural character as Battersea Arts Centre. Don't be fooled by the name, since it was ravaged by a fire in 2015, the venue has been restored to an absolutely stunning state but maintaining some of the distressed character of the fire that makes the venue look utterly magnificent as a wedding venue!
LDN Gold performed at barnstorming evening set for our US couple, Adam and Ashley, bringing them in to a shortened version of our hora then moving swiftly through the genres from Chic to Beyoncé and then from ABBA to the Backstreet Boys.
A truly joyous night.

It’s always a pleasure working with Anthony and his team at Added Dimension. The marquee wedding of Max and Charlotte landed on a beautifully hot day, and we loved the touch of having multiple pavilion-style tents scattered around the drinks reception serving various purposes, giving the guests a bit of welcome respite from the heat!
We welcomed the guests into the marquee with some lounge classics before the bride and groom made their entrance to Simply the Best. What made a great touch was each guest being presented with their very own named tambourine, which got everyone involved right from the start and created a nice chorus of percussion to complement the band! As you can see from the video, everyone was also in full voice, and Max and Charlotte chose a pretty ideal selection of tunes to get everybody ramped up.
After dinner, the band played the night out, starting with the first dance—Love on Top by Beyoncé—and two one-hour sets full of classics!

Dear Joe, Eloise, and the entire band,
Sam and I just wanted to express our heartfelt thanks to you all for making our wedding truly unforgettable!
You went above and beyond to create our perfect set list and vibe, your energy was infectious, and I’ve lost count of the amount of guests that commented about ‘how incredible the band were’.The mix of superb vocals, beatboxing, audience interaction, and seamless transitions between songs blew everyone away.
My aim was for the dance floor to never be empty- you achieved that and more- I don’t think anybody left it all night!I couldn’t recommend you more highly, not only were you extremely professional, you were so friendly and everyone could tell that you guys were also having fun! Thank you for being such a special part of our dream day!

Hi Joe, thank you so so much for the most amazing party. We had such a good time and it’s all thanks to you and your team. People are still calling me to compliment the band. You made the night even more special for us and we could not thank you enough. Keir had the most amazing time. I know we will be seeing each other again soon. ☺️
Send our thanks to your team as well. 🤗🙏🏾
After trying to book a wedding with us in 2019 the ended up being heavily postponed by covid, Keir and Assanati had to wait until 2021 to celebrate their wedding with us. But they couldn't get enough, so when it came round to Keir's 50th birthday, Assanati wanted to spoil him and bring back their wedding band to celebrate with them!
We brought the guests in with some classy tunes, supported by our amazing production partner GE, who built our stage and lighting rig. It wasn't long before we had the guests up in their places for a few sing-a-long sets during dinner.
We then closed out the night with our trademark party sets as they relived their favourite medleys reminiscent of their wedding day.

Just wanted to say a huge thank you! We loved the roaming band, they really were epic. Can't wait to sit down and relive it all :D I've had so many of my friends message me giving rave reviews for the roaming band!
Liv actually contacted us asking for a roaming band before we'd even had the chance to launch LDN Roams - she knew what she wanted and luckily we had already started putting the cogs in motion for how our roaming band would run. We had toyed with the idea that the band might be able to flex to do a full days entertainment, becoming a late night DJ act after performing the roaming sets, and since that's exactly what Liv wanted, it felt like that's how it needed to be!
After the band had done their fully acoustic drinks reception set, they popped up twice at dinner and had the guests in the palms of their hand. Liv had a specific vision that at one point the band would recreate the movie moment from 'My Best Friend's Wedding' by breaking out spontaneously into 'Say A Little Prayer' which is exactly what occurred straight after dinner!

Hey guys, Horace and I just wished to thank you for all the wonderful entertainment for our wedding on the 15th. You guys were truly amazing and got our guests dancing all night. The string quartet were stunning in our ceremony and everything was just as we had hoped! One again thank you and we wish you all the best for the rest of the summer.
This wedding marked the start of our relationship with Isabella Rose Studio. She got in touch only a couple of weeks before this wedding, and this couple had been together for some years and wanted a wedding party that particularly threw back to the 1980s. Cue us scrambling together just about everything we've got from the era to be a able to deliver as much of the retro feel as we could. Needless to say, the guests loved it, but the band really enjoyed the last minute challenge as well.
Fortissimi Strings performed earlier on in the day with an elegant array of classical music pieces, only to spin on a dime and play a pop set in the drinks reception, which made it feel like a whole new act, with the addition of our beatboxer, Midé.

Travelling down to this gorgeous estate in Dorset, we kicked off the event
with LDN Roams performing a sunny acoustic drinks reception set, bouncing
between the guests, taking requests. Because we had a way to travel to this one, we made use of the crossover between the lineups of LDN Roams and LDN Gold, so that we could limit the number of personnel travelling to the event. That isn't the only benefit though, as when we came to perform the party sets, there's a level of familiarity and banter that the band gets to enjoy from the off that you don't get when we first pop up at the first dance.
Cue our absolute highlight of this wedding - Daisy's incredible party dress; in a dazzling electric pink she shedded the norm of having a white wedding dress and brought her very own vibe that the guests were mad for!

The whole experience from beginning to end was so personal, with them eager to find out what we loved to make the day perfect. Walking down the aisle just felt magical and they kept our guests well entertained after with beautiful arrangements.
We booked LDN City Collective 11 piece band for the evening and it was everything we hoped for and more. Again the service from beginning to end was so personal and nothing was too much to ask - including a Christmas song to close with!
So many of our guests have said how much they loved the band and we are already thinking of an excuse to book them again. The musicians were so professional and the booking process was incredibly smooth. I would highly recommend to anyone - thank you so much!

LDN Entertainment were an absolute pleasure to work with from the outset. Joe called us ahead of the event to get an idea of the sort of couple we were, our musical preferences and our general hopes for the energy of the day.
He absolutely nailed it. We had the bands female vocalist sing Promise by Ben Howard as I walked down the aisle with my Dad. I still get goosebumps listening to it on the video no. The vocalist made this moment very special.
The Jazz Trio for the drinks reception essentially whisked us away to summer in Paris with their wonderful music. It helped that the sun was shining but they managed to deliver exactly the atmosphere and vibe we'd longed for, after such a difficult 18 months of postponements.
Then finally, we had the 8 piece band for the evening. I've never seen a dance floor of such happy people. Joe is an incredible singer who knows how to capture a crowd, even the shy ones! LDN Ents are unbelievably talented.
I havent spoken to one guest without a mention of how brilliant their music was. After many months of people not being able to dance or stand shoulder to shoulder with live music, LDN made everyone feel as if they had been taken back in time, as if the last year and a bit never existed.
I would reccommend this band to anyone. They're so versatile. The way they transitioned from ceremony, to drinks reception, to party music was so clever.
Thank you guys for bringing our day to life and for making the people we love smile again after what had been such a hard year.

Hi Joe ! I hope you guys all got home safe. I really don’t have the words for your show. So here is one - “AMAZING!”
Maisy loved it! Everyone loved it! A massive thank you to you and all of the band. A truly memorable experience. Thank you so much 🥰
When James (Maisy's Dad) first reached out, he made it very clear that he wanted something very different and very special. The brief, he made clear was that we had to create something absolutely unique for Maisy that combined carnival with theatricality and moments of what he called 'emotive dining' where dancers would perform beautiful set pieces whilst our band performed ballads.

Naturally, we were really enticed by the challenge and set about curating a carefully thought out music program that took Maisy's guests on a proper experience, which was to culminate with a video recapping her life so far that was perfectly synced with our band. Our team worked for weeks on the video and used our in-ear technology to make sure that the band was seamlessly in time with the fast moving video.
The event really had everything, from high energy dinner roaming sets, to reflective moments where we'd strip it right down and put the spotlight on one singer (see here Grace smashing 'Easy on Me' out the park!
Once dinner was done, the full 15 piece band reassembled and was joined on stage by Maisy, her mates and 8 Portuguese dancers for an amazing finale before they hit the club that James had created totally from scratch!

This was our second time back at the beautiful Il Borro and our third collaboration with Brenda Babcock Celebrations. This time, going out as the Wide Awake trio, we had the absolute pleasure of performing for the lovely Polish/Argentinian couple, Izabela and Marcos. Our communications in the run-up to the wedding were vital in ensuring we had a great blend of Latino music and European tunes, while also infusing a little bit of Italian flair to reflect the venue’s location.
We first performed dinner sets with DJ and singers to hype up the guests. The bride and groom’s entrance was a first for us: Barry White’s You’re the First, the Last, My Everything—which went down a treat. They also had a bit of ABBA during dinner, Freed from Desire, our R&B A-Z medley, and Take Me Home, Country Roads, which we continued in harmony to lure the guests outside to watch a surprise fireworks display and cake cutting, while the venue reset the space.
When they re-entered, the couple treated us to a beautifully choreographed Argentinian tango, which led us into our DJ live sets. Infusing disco remixes, reggaeton, and R&B, the band played until 2 a.m. before handing over to Joe to keep the party alive right up until 5 a.m.! After two hours of straight Latino tracks, we had an LDN first included in the DJ set: Last Resort by Papa Roach...!

IT'S NOT AN EXAGGERATION TO SAY THAT SO MANY OF OUR GUESTS SAID THAT LDN WAS THE BEST PARTY BAND THEY'D EVER HEARD
We couldn’t have been happier with LDN Showband. They were fun, full of energy and so incredibly talented. They nailed the acoustic set in the outdoor venue and then brought the party vibes in the ballroom. The lead, Joe Vetch, also performed a song I requested that wasn’t part of their set on one weeks notice. That’s the kind of service and commitment you will get with LDN Showband. They were such a hit that the crowd wouldn’t let them leave the stage when their time was up, so they played a few more tracks, which we were so grateful for.
They smashed it and we feel so fortunate that they were part of our wedding day.
K. Sharon, Wedding - Sept 2021
'We just wanted to say thank you so so so so much, from the bottom of our hearts, for an astonishing performance. Our expectations were naturally very high…but you smashed them. We have had so much amazing feedback from our guests – needless to say, you owned that evening with unparalleled energy, talent and enthusiasm. From the first song to the last line, it was perfect. It’s just such a shame that it went so quickly.
Thank you also for your open and professional approach to the lead up to the day. It really was most appreciated.
If we find an excuse to hire you guys again…we most certainly will.
The very best of wishes.

Joe and the band performed at our wedding in September and we were absolutely thrilled - they were incredible and from the first moment they started playing everyone was on the dance floor and stayed there all evening! We've had so many lovely messages afterwards commenting on how great they were - a really memorable performance. They also did a cracking job with the dance floor lighting - which looked stunning and gave our marquee a real party vibe.
Joe was great at keeping in touch ahead of the day and I was always really confident that he had it all under control - they also did an amazing job of taking the time over our set list. I wouldn't have changed a thing and would recommend the band to anyone!
India, Wedding - Sept 2023
"Absolutely amazing! Honestly the band were out of this world. Everyone commented on how fantastic the band were. A massive thank you for all your help with the prep. Oh not forgetting Alastair who not only was a great guy but entertained the guests brilliantly. Have a great new year and we hope to see you and the band soon."

THE BEST PARTY BAND IN LONDON (or anywhere). Such a good set, fun, interactive, sexy. Loved every second and wanted them to play all night. Heard them at a wedding but would be perfect for any event. Wonderful.'
A. Knights, Party - Feb 2020
We honestly can't rate the LDN City Collective highly enough, they were absolutely amazing and we loved every second of them playing. They made our wedding! The vocals were fantastic and song choices exactly what we wanted.
The first dance song was performed so beautifully too. We've had so many compliments about them and all our guests thought they were amazing too.
In terms of logistics they were very professional setting up quickly, flexible in changing the sets from 2 to 3 due to other timings in the evening and the band manager Joe was communicative throughout.
We would have no hesitation recommending them and wish we could do it all over again. Thank you to them for such a fantastic performance.

They were extremely professional and accommodating and even learnt a couple of new songs, which were my husbands all time favourites. They were very punctual and extremely friendly and have such a great energy. On the night they were excellent and created such a fun atmosphere and everyone loved it - will definitely recommend them for a fun vibe for any party"

Hey guys, we were blown away by Fortissimi Strings, they exceeded all of our expectations - especially with my entrance song, which was really important to me. All of our guests loved them - as did all the staff at the hotel!! We got so much incredible feedback. They made the afternoon so special for us and we are so grateful. I can’t wait to watch any and all video footage we have of them so I can relive it all again. Please pass on our sincere thanks, they were all absolutely amazing.

I’ve had to wait a few days to really process what went down on Saturday night. Everyone in attendance were lost for words when trying to describe how good Joe and the band were.
They probably get this after every gig, but they were unbelievable. After seeing them at 100 Wardour Street, were knew they were going to be good, but Saturday was just next level.
Everyone at the wedding said they were the best they had ever seen, and I couldn’t agree more. Live music was a must at the wedding, and the guys made it a day that we and our guests will never forget. They gave it everything and we couldn’t be more grateful.
Furthermore, the consultation and service Joe provided in the run up to event was first class. He made sure that the setlist and delivery of the performance was tailored to ours/or guests preferences and it really showed.

Thank you so much to LDN City Collective for making our wedding day end on the highest possible note!
Every single one of our guests (and most of our vendors!) have told us how amazing the band was and how much they enjoyed the sets. The song choice was absolutely perfect - every time we wanted a quick break from dancing to catch our breath, another belter was forthcoming and we had NO CHOICE but to remain on the floor.
In particular both vocalists' engagement with the crowd was incredible and really took the whole evening to another level.
Thank you so much again,

Joe I had to email you to say what an incredible night last night was! Your band were insane!!!! There were a couple of absolutely gem moments (Teenage Dirtbag and Mr. Brightside) when the singers came into the crowd and everyone just followed them to the music and they played us like puppets it was fantastic!!! I had a lot of people ask me who the band were and I have been recommending you all in every way. Please pass on our massive thanks, it couldn’t have gone any better!!!! Best of luck for the future, you and your band are very talented and deserve a lot of success.
L. Tuohy, Wedding - December 2018
I just wanted to say a huge THANK YOU to you and all the band members of the LDN City Collective, they were absolutely fantastic! We've had so many guests remarking on how great the band was and I don't think we had an empty dance floor for the entire evening - we really couldn't have asked for anything better.
I hope you and the band had as much fun as we all did!

Showband for making our wedding! The band are true professionals who worked tirelessly in the lead up, and on the day to deliver the most perfect wedding music for us and i cannot recommend working with them enough. 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!"

Thank you so much for providing the band and DJ for my clients marquee wedding in August 2021.
Throughout the whole process from initial enquiry, postponement and adjusting the booking you were awesome. You answered all my questions ensuring I had complete faith in you.
On the night itself every single member of the band was phenomenal. From the sound engineer to the singers to the DJ, every single person was professional and damn talented.
I am not even exaggerating when I say that dance-floor was packed ALL night, my clients and their friends did not stop dancing. And that frankly is a true testament isnt it.
So although that was my last ever wedding, I am thankful you made it go off with a blast.
Bernadette, Wedding - Sept 2022
Consummate professionals - this band is OUT OF THIS WORLD! Incredible arrangements, incredible players and incredible vibe at every single gig. I have booked them for our wedding and every step of the way LDN have been the dream wedding band - from song choices, to first dance, to lineup choices, this is the best band in London. Absolutely, 100% book LDN Party Band for your party, event, wedding, festival - speak to Joe and he will deliver exactly the vibe you want. Can not recommend enough!
S. Morgan-Grahame, Wedding - July 2023
'The band delivered everything we asked for! The set list was tailored to suit our guest list and had everyone up on the dance floor most of the evening. Glad we opted for the additional instruments (in particular sax) as everyone commented how beautiful the music was. Would highly recommend for any occasion!"
A. Braham, Party - Jan 2017
"We first saw Joe at an Asian wedding fair. We saw the clip of LDN party band and absolutely loved their medleys. We signed up for more information and Joe subsequently sent us an email to let us know that LDN party band was playing at Quaglino’s. We decided to go see them perform and we were blown away. The atmosphere created by the band was fantastic and everyone was on their feet dancing. The melodies were just as in their promo video and the music was just what we were looking for – RnB and garage, old 80s and 90s classics.
We spoke with Joe in the lead up to the wedding and he was a pleasure to deal with. Booking LDN party band was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. The dancefloor at our reception was filled with people dancing and singing along. All our guests commented on how good the band was and how much fun they had."
P. Thakker, Wedding - April 2018
The band was phenomenal. Angela and I really enjoyed working with Joe. He went above and beyond to make sure our day was exactly how we wanted it. I had several guests remark to me that the band was the best wedding band they had ever seen. Couldn't be more pleased!

Hey Joe!
Mitul and I just wanted to say a HUGE thank you for making our big day so amazing. We couldn't be happier with how you brought our evening reception to life. We were both so gutted when we couldn't have a dance floor but having such a talented DJ meant that the whole reception was perfect. It really was the best day of our lives
Thanks for being so adaptive to the evening, and helping to create the perfect atmosphere for a cheeky dancefloor! Everyone still compliments your voice and sax playing, it really made the evening
Any future events, we will be sure to think of you. Thanks once again!
Sapna, Wedding - July 2023
"We had LDN Party Band for our wedding in July and we were beyond impressed. All our guests have commented on how good the band were at getting everyone up and dancing and also sounded fantastic! We loved working with Joe, choosing the set list and looking at all of their medleys.
On the day, the band were happy to work with the venue to get set up and packed down discreetly which was great. Their 2 sets were the perfect amount of time and there were songs for everyone in there. Thank you so much for all of your hard work, We will most definitely be recommending you to friends. Thanks again, Mary and Matt"
M. Dunnett, Wedding - July 2018
"Hi Joe, I just wanted to write to say that the band absolutely nailed it last Saturday. They killed the first song, everyone loved the energy, the set list was perfect (you were right about the Teen Rock medley, that got all the 20-35 year old boy cousins raging). We had so much fun. Everyone asked us about the band and commented on how good they were. Also, the lights were perfect! Please convey our thanks to Grace, Laura and the rest of the band. And thank you for all the coordination and support over the past few months. Happy new year!"

"We had LDN at our wedding in Spring '18, and it was the most fantastic band we could have ever imagined. A set list perfectly designed to keep guests jumping on the dance floor, wonderful communication in the lead up to the wedding and everything in place so my husband and I didn't have to worry about anything at all on the day. The London Party Band is the only band you should consider hiring for your event! I will be looking out for every gig they play in the future, and be recommending them to everyone who's looking for a band for Christmas parties, Weddings, Anniversaries and Events. If you could give them 10 stars, I would."

Good morning Joe. Sorry not to write to you sooner, but I wanted to say a very big thankyou to you and all the band for the absolutely amazing performance at Chloe and Murray"s wedding on 17th. You guys were all star performers, so amazing, so talented, such a great sound, and we loved the interaction with our party guests. We have a few videos that people took on their phones, including when the singers came down into the crowd, and we love listening to you again!
Many of our guests said it was the best wedding they have ever been to, and a large part of that was your band"s contribution.
Please pass on our thanks to all the band, they were all amazing!
best wishes

The band was phenomenal. Angela and I really enjoyed working with Joe. He went above and beyond to make sure our day was exactly how we wanted it. I had several guests remark to me that the band was the best wedding band they had ever seen. Couldn't be more pleased!

We both wanted to thank Joe our fantastic DJ at our wedding! Joe called me the day before the wedding to have a chat and find out a little more about me and JD, which I thought was so lovely to know he cared about what we wanted on our big day. Joe was incredible! He had everyone and I mean everyone up on that dance floor! We both couldn’t be happier with how the music was for our special day! We will definitely book through you again and Joe!
Thank you so much for all your support considering we’d booked this with you over three years ago and with covid you’ve been continuously professional throughout.

The band were the absolute best. Everyone said that they were the best they had seen at a wedding.
Very accommodating to our style and had a brilliant set to get everyone up and dancing.
Thank you so much!

"These guys performed at our wedding as a 9-piece, where we happened to have a large number of serious musicians as guests! They were simply superb. The pre-wedding discussions about the playlist sets were easy and detailed, and they performed every song as requested. Soul, funk, jazz, disco, house, all "floor-fillers" impeccably delivered with a great ambiance and connection with the audience. Very impressive, and would def recommend them (and book them again!)."

"LDN Party Band played for our wedding in August 2018 and were absolutely incredible. We’d had a recommendation to check them out and it was particularly handy that we were able to see them playing a ‘public’ gig at a bar in London. What the promotional videos don’t show is how good they are in front of a crowd but we weren’t at all disappointed. We knew we wanted to book them as soon as we heard their UK Garage Medley. They sounded phenomenal on the night - our guests loved them and the dance floor was full for the whole time they played. Just as importantly, though, they were really nice to work with and prepared some requests for us that went down really well and helped make the day uniquely ‘ours’. It’s not an exaggeration to say that many of our guests said LDN were the best event band they’d ever heard (yeah, some of our guests were a bit basic, but not all of them). It’s a comfort to know that when we’re old and divorced, all our friends will still remember the evening they spent in a tent with this amazing band."

Feet have finally touched ground and we are just about back to normality... I just wanted to thank you and your enormously talented band for helping to create the perfect atmosphere for us on our special day! You guys were simply brilliant!
We had loads of positive feedback from guests - and I hope you did too!
All the best with everything and we'll definitely give you a shout in the future! (SKYLINE JAZZ)

Just wanted to say, from both myself and Nikki, thank you to you and the rest of the band for simply a brilliant night.
Everyone has been talking about you guys ever since, and we had high hopes but, bloody hell, did you blow them out of the water! You guys were a massive part of why Saturday night was just incredible. And learning out first dance with two weeks notice was hugely appreciated!
All the best, and thanks again!
Simon and Nikki, Wedding, August 2019
We just wanted to say that LDN Showband did the most fantastic job at the wedding. The party was on the dance floor the entire night! The band absolutely made the evening! They were absolutely brilliant and we had so many compliments from our guests saying that they were the best band they had ever heard at a wedding!
Thanks so much!
Hannah and Jason, Wedding, June 2019
Joe and the band were absolute professionals from start to finish. The team accommodated multiple date and venues changes due to Covid and could not have been more helpful. A slick act on the night with a diverse and well rehearsed set list. I cannot recommend them highly enough. THANK YOU
