Just WOW!!

The (now) husband and I had the pleasure of first seeing Andrew perform at my sister’s wedding five years ago and we absolutely loved him, so we were delighted that we were able to book him to play at our own Wedding. He did not disappoint! He exceeded expectations (which were already pretty high having already seen him previously) and his musical talents speak for themselves. We received so many compliments about his performance that I'm sure we'll see him at friends' weddings in the future!

Andrew’s sunny disposition and quick humour made him an instant hit with guests before he had even started his set, and he blended in perfectly to the surroundings, with his music entertaining everyone there. Luckily we had a beautiful sunny day, so Andrew could set up outside and perform for everyone in the grounds of our venue, to the delight of passers-by who also sang nothing but his praises to us as well. We opted for the Full Day Package from 24 Live and the additional Cajon Drummer for the evening reception, and that was also a massive hit! What a party!

In the build up to the wedding, on the day and even after the wedding, Andrew has been incredibly thorough, accommodating and just an absolute dream to deal with. He is so, so friendly and personable, and he goes above and beyond to ensure that the experience he gives you is the perfect one. Nothing was ever too much trouble, and he made us feel completely at ease, he is a true professional. He leaves no stone unturned and his attention to detail is flawless.

Andrew really is a class act and an absolute gentleman, not to mention all kinds of talented. He made our day really special and our Wedding wouldn’t have been the success it was without him there. We cannot recommend him highly enough. We can’t wait to see him perform again in the future! Thank you so much for everything Andrew. 😊

All the very best,

Chantal & Tom xxx

Absolutely Fantastic!

Andrew was an absolutely fantastic addition to our wedding day! We hired Andrew for our ceremony, drinks reception and wedding breakfast and we are so so glad that we did. His music created a brilliant atmosphere and we had so many comments from our guests on how great the music was. Andrew is also very friendly and the best supplier we had in terms of communication, he kept in contact on the build up to the day and gave us every confidence that he would deliver. Massive thank you! And we hope to see you at another wedding really soon.

Wedding ceremony and drinks reception

We hired Andrew for our ceremony and drinks reception for our wedding on June 10th. From start to finish the communication was amazing, and everything we had to do was really clear. Andrew learnt a song for going down the aisle which made it so meaningful and special. He was just amazing and would recommend to anyone. Thank you 💖 Rachael & Adam xx

Sensational top notch couldn⠹t recommend enough

Andrew was top notch all day, he helped out with separate things to the wedding and kept the day flowing as best he could. When things didn’t go to plan you wouldn’t be able to tell in the music. ALL of our wedding guests complimented him, asked about his business and commented how amazing Andrew was all day. We then get to the evening reception where Chris joins the entertainment, another great guy! Great songs played, the dance floor was not empty from 7pm-midnight which is what we wanted! Thank you so much for everything guys! If you’re wondering whether or not to book with these two! BOOK!

Best wedding band

24 live performed for our first dance and wedding evening party. Andrew has been really nice and helpful from the first phone meeting and guided us through everything we needed to know. He is so friendly, professional, easy going, and is just such a good singer!! They kept everything on the dance floor until the last song. We all had such a great time, and we got so many compliments from the guests. Thank you so much to Andrew and Chris!!

Amazing Music!!

We wanted a wedding with great music and Andrew and Chris definitely delivered!

Andrew accommodated everything we wanted and was so easy to work with - everything was organised well in advance of the day and communicated and agreed in advance so we knew exactly what we were getting.

The music itself was amazing - us and our guests were blown away by how good they were and how well they got the party started in the evening! The staff at the venue told us they hoped to see them again too 😁

If you want great music and a great party atmosphere these are the guys to book! Thank you so much Andrew and Chris!

Wedding 05.05.2024

We very recently got married and just wanted to share what a special part of the day Andrew played.

We chose to book Andrew for our ceremony and drinks reception, to really get people in the party spirit. From booking, Andrew has been so responsive and helpful. He has learnt our favourite songs, and really embraced our mixture of music tastes and requests - which made the day even more personal.

Having him sing me down the aisle was a very special moment, making the song we chose an even more memorable part of the day.

Naturally, we had a lot of photos and thank you's during the drinks reception, so my only regret is not booking Andrew for longer so we could enjoy listening for more of the day. We cannot thank you enough :)

Outstanding entertainment all day!

Andrew performed for our wedding ceremony, drinks reception and evening reception. He is such a great guy to deal with, really friendly and down to earth and nothing is too much trouble.

We asked for a Disney themed ceremony and he didn’t disappoint. I only just made it down the aisle without crying to his beautiful rendition of Tale as old as Time.

So many guests commented on the music, how great he was and they were in awe of his stamina to keep the tempo throughout a very long day.

When Chris arrived for the evening, they kept everyone up dancing all night. He even let me sing a song in the evening.

We had the best day ever and the music was such a huge part of this. Thanks again to Andrew (and Chris)!

Absolutely fantastic!

Honestly these two made our wedding! They were fantastic, everyone was talking about how amazing they were. It ready did make the day even more amazing. So easy to work with and easy to communicate with. They played plenty of songs we requested. Please book them if you want the same experience as we did for our special day!

Amazing - best decision we made!

We booked 24 Live for our full wedding with solo day and duo evening. We had a really small wedding (less than 30 adults) and no additional evening guests and just wanted a really chilled day. Andrew completely got what we were aiming for and set the tone for the whole day. There were only positive comments and plenty of people checking their availability 😆
Andrew kept in contact throughout and we had a thorough conversation just before the wedding to run through everything we wanted. This was absolutely money well-spent and we’d 100% book them again.

Stunning!!!

Oww Andrew, we want to thank you so so much for being a part of our wedding! From the first emails and meeting you were wonderful: organized, friendly and available. On the wedding day itself, you amazed all our friends and family and made everything so much more special! I danced the night away, my Brazilian friends are sure that you are Shawn Mendes and our families are already planning parties to have you booked in. Again, thank you so very much! Laura and Henry

Honestly Amazing

We originally booked Andrew for our wedding back in 2020 which was unfortunately cancelled. When we eventually rebooked our wedding for early '24 everything changed, new venue, new suits, all new suppliers.. except 1! This was 24Live, we knew from first seeing them at a wedding fayre back in 2018 that they would be at our wedding and that wish came true. The communication from Andrew on the run up to the wedding was great, we didn't have to go to him with any questions as everything we would need had already been thought about by Andrew and the information given to us.
We had seen 24Live a few times before the wedding and knew that the style and genre of music was exactly what we wanted and gave them free reign on the night of our wedding. The dance floor was full all night and we've had so many comments about how good they were! The only regret I have was that I wasn't able to secure 24Live for the full day as they were already at another wedding before ours.. get in early and book the full package!!
Thank you so much for everything, we can't wait to see you again in the future!

The perfect choice

We couldn't be happier with the service Andrew provided from initial conversations to the wedding day itself. He was quick to reply to emails, happy to answer all of our questions, he was on time, professional, friendly - we loved him and our guests loved him. His voice and guitar skills are incredible and he has an extensive set list of amazing songs.

The best decision you'll ever make!

When looking at venues I found 24 Live through a instagram reel Andrew had made. Before I had even chose our venue and date I just knew we had to have Andrew! As soon as the date was in so was 24live and I can tell you it was the best decision we ever made. Not only is Andrew just THE guy and extremely talented he made us both feel incredibly at ease and special, just like we were the only wedding he had ever performed at. He was so personal in his approach, checking in on us before the big day and always staying in touch, which was great to build a relationship before the big day. If you watch his videos and think he is good, well be in for a surprise for how good he actually is, all of our guests comments on how talented he was. He is the nicest guy and absolutely brings the VIBE of all VIBES. He totally got us and what we wanted for our ceremony and drinks reception and I wish we could do it all over again. The only regret I have is not having him longer. Really hoping there is another occasion in life we have the opportunity to book Andrew again, because he is seriously the BEST of the BEST!

I will feel forever lucky Andrew sang me down the aisle and it's a moment we both will cherish forever - THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!
