Hi!

I'm Monica and I'm one of the owners and directors of The AristoUkes. I'm super-passionate about taking ownership of delivering the entertainment you dream of - whether that's a detailed and specific brief, or something where you just want me to look after everything musical, and guarantee a reception worthy of remembering, from start to finish.

I will be your concierge throughout your booking with us - always on hand to manage your questions, liaise with your other suppliers and venue, and make everything run smoothly.

My previous experience in looking after high net worth clients and working alongside multinational corporations gives me an appreciation of the service you expect, before, during, and after one of the most important days of your life.

We're definitely not the cheapest option on Hitched, but the peace of mind and quality our team delivers consistently results in 5-star reviews.

You make your big day. We make it great.

Book a call now to find out how.

"We're not in the music business. We're in the memories business"

Hello, I'm Gary!

My experience in the entertainment industry goes right back to 2005 when I graduated from one of Europe's top guitar conservatoires, and since then I've honed my craft as a professional guitarist. From West End theatre pits, to South African theatres, and 7* hotels in Dubai, there isn't much I haven't done as a professional musician.

I realised early on in my career that I couldn't be dependant on anyone else to provide me with performing work, and so I set out to create a band that not only made great music, but also brought something more than that - an experience to savour, thoughtfulness that delights, and everyone arm in arm, singing an anthem together.

As I grew as an entrepreneur, I began to understand that the role of a roaming band at a wedding is so much more than just music - we engage, entertain, and encourage your guests to really ease into your day.

Weddings are long events, often with lots of standing around, and we specialise in providing a charming and unique performance that is interesting enough to be appreciated and enjoyed, but professional enough not to draw focus, particularly during drinks.

We are the eyes on the schedule, adapting to things like weather, limited access to power, or the need to be completely acoustic - all of these things make a huge difference to how your guests remember your wedding.

In my role as director I am focused on equipping the band with the tools to perform exceptionally on your day. That involves us learning more about you, allaying concerns and preparing for critical moments, and coordinating with your other suppliers so we collectively provide you with a seamless day to remember.

You want zero surprises on the day. You want to think only of enjoying the moment. You want entertainment that says something about you whilst engaging your guests. We can help you.

We may not be the cheapest, but you get some much more than just music with us. You get strength in depth, backup plans, everything done way ahead of the deadline, and above all, brilliant musicianship and performance that pulls people in.

If you have questions, please reach out. There's no hard sell with us - our only goal is to make sure you have the best day possible.

We're not in the music business. We're in the memories business.

Happy planning!

Gary
