Absolutely amazing 1000% recommend

“I just wanted to send you all a massive thank you!! The guys were absolutely amazing, and everyone commented on how good they were even a week later our guest still saying how good these guys are. Definitely a massive highlight of our day.”

Worth their weight in gold

Everything was very easy and straightforward. We honestly can’t thank you enough. The dance floor was never empty, and everyone is still talking about the band. It meant so much the boys learnt our first dance song and gave us the most magical moment. We loved them so much. A perfect mixture of Julie’s love of boybands and Dave’s ‘better’ taste in music. We hope to have you back for our 10th anniversary. Thank you.

Great guys!

We had The Blue Rinse back again for our Christmas party following such great feedback! Again, they kept the whole team entertained and had everyone up dancing. Marie was great with communication and the guys are professional and friendly. A great variety of music and the Acoustic duo during dinner were great, glad we went for that option too this time. We will be booking for our next party!

A perfect day

Absolutely amazing cover band. Saw them at a live event and booked them on the spot for our wedding. Dance floor was full at all times and read our audience with a great DJ between 3 x 1-hour sets. Highly recommend!
Our first dance was not on the usual list and they played it perfectly.
A perfect way to finish off what was a Perfect Day

Amazing wedding band

We have had so many positive comments and feedback on the band after our wedding. Everyone loved how interactive they were and how the bass player was joking with the band and guests. We also couldn’t have been happier with how the band played our first dance song after learning it for us. Although it was a country song the twist they put on it was perfect.

If you’re still together in 20 years we’d love to use you for our renewal.

We also hired the Statement Lighting, Letter Lights & Wireless LED Uplight's we made a big impact on the venue and brought it all together.

Thank you

100% awesome

The band of all bands!! We had the most incredible night with @thebluerinse. We met The Blue Rinse at a MK wedding fair and the moment we saw their video at the fair we knew they were the ones! Totally a bit of us with Indie songs, boy band medley and great vibes! We went to watch them at Luton, and I would 100% recommend doing it just to have a good party night taster haha. From first contact the ban were friendly and welcoming. Marie the lady behind the emails and arranging was so helpful and professional and nothing was toom much of a problem, learning our first dance sing, to keeping the dance floor full and throwing in a few medleys! We had an absolute blast!! Thank you for being so amazing and we will be recommending you to everyone. A week on and we still have guests saying how amazing you guys were and of course we agree 5 *

Incredible Wedding band!

Fantastic communication! 100% recommend! So many people made comments about how incredible you were! We have also passed your details on to some guests who asked too! Finished off an amazing day! One of our fears was that people would not be on the dance floor and you guys made sure that was not the case, during both the live and DJ sets. A huge thank you, you are all amazing!

Amazing Band


“The day was amazing, thank you! The band did an awesome job! Everyone loved the songs and dancing! I also love that you gave us a card with the song list, very sweet!"

Perfect band!

The Blue Rinse were simply fantastic and really made our wedding day special. Ahead of the day, the organisation and communication was perfect and we'd 100% recommend them to anyone. The range of music and level of crowd engagement meant the dancefloor was never empty while they were performing. The fact that they asked us which 10-20 songs we definitely wanted played and 3-4 songs we didn't meant we got a personalised experience and it was this attention to detail that made the band so special. They also learned our first dance, slowing it down to make it a perfect tempo for the first half before speeding it up for the second half. It was everything we'd dreamed of. Thank you Blue Rinse!

Made our wedding reception complete- thank you so much!

Marie was fantastic all the way through the booking process. All questions were answered promptly by email. Professionalism was second to none. Perfect preparation even though we were running behind, stage looked incredible. Great variety of songs. Kept everyone up and dancing! It's hard to put into words how incredible The Blue Rinse were on the evening of our wedding. They arrived with plenty of time to spare and were extremely unintrusive even though we were running behind. I had an issue with my dress bustle which meant I was in the room they needed for getting changed but they were so professional and friendly, despite the bridal meltdown. We have had many comments from guests about how amazing you were. Having you there performing honestly made the wedding complete. Having the first dance performed live made it all the more special. The mix of songs was perfect, and the length of sets allowed everyone to really become absorbed on the dance floor, and the DJ sets added to the energy as well. We couldn’t have asked for more form a band and DJ. Thank you so much.

The best wedding band ever!

The Blue Rinse were the perfect wedding music, from ceremony piano through to evening band. A testament to their talent and ability to read the room and provide the perfect setlist comes from several of our guests who described them as “the best wedding band ever!” I hope friends and family book The Blue Rinse for their events so we can have the pleasure of enjoying their performance all over again!

Perfect choice for our wedding!

Thank you so much again for the guys travelling so far for our wedding. We absolutely loved having them and we got so many comments from people about how great the band and DJ were! Thank you also for the card including the set list, that’s a very thoughtful touch, we love having that to remember it by. We’ll hopefully catch another show again in the future!

An amazing and unforgettable band! 5*

The band were extremely professional, they were flexible and accommodating, even learning our first dance song, which meant a lot to us. The band were engaging and lively, encouraging everyone to join in, the dance floor was full all night! Our friends and family are still raving about how good the band was. Overall, The Blue Rinse played a huge part in making our wedding day unforgettable. We couldn’t have asked for a better and to celebrate with us, and we would highly recommend them to anyone. Thank you for a night we’ll cherish forever!
