Fantastic!

We couldn’t recommend the choir highly enough! They were absolutely fantastic at our wedding, performing during both our ceremony and drinks reception and adding something truly special to our day.

The music during our ceremony was beautiful, and my bridal entrance song genuinely gave me goosebumps. It was such an emotional, unforgettable moment, and the choir made it even more magical than I’d imagined.

They then brought a completely different energy to our drinks reception with lots of happy, upbeat songs, creating the most wonderful atmosphere for us and our guests to enjoy.

They were the perfect addition to our wedding, and we’re so grateful they were part of such a special day. If you’re looking for live music that creates both those emotional, goosebump-worthy moments and a lovely atmosphere for your celebrations, we couldn’t recommend them more!


Thank you for helping make our wedding day so memorable. 🤍

Ember Nights

We honestly cannot thank Ember Nights enough, they were absolutely amazing and exactly the vibe we wanted for our wedding!
The communication from both Entertainment Nation and Ember Nights themselves was faultless from start to finish. Everyone was so quick to respond, really clear about what they needed from us, and made the whole process so easy and stress free.
We’ve had so many guests comment on how brilliant the band were, which says it all! They really helped make our day so special, and we couldn’t have asked for more. Thank you so much for everything. We’ll definitely be recommending you guys to others!
A well deserved 5/5 from us!
Thanks again,
Katie and Reuben

Would absolutely recommend Entertainment Nation!!

Our overall experience of finding and securing our wedding band through Entertainment Nation was brilliant. Once we’d decided on Archives the team were quick to respond to any questions we had prior to booking. The booking pack we received was also really helpful.

The band itself were fantastic; they reached out to us well in advance of our wedding to ask us which song we’d like them to learn for our first dance (which they absolutely smashed on the day!!). They really got the party started and interacted with all the guests. At one point they led a conga through the venue which was super fun and got everyone involved. Our guests are still talking about them and how they are one of the best bands they’d ever seen.
Absolute 5/5!!

Fantastic night with The Valiants

We had such a great experience booking through Entertainment Nation! The whole process was incredibly easy and stress-free from start to finish. Communication was fantastic throughout, with everything made really clear and straightforward.

We booked The Valiants and couldn't recommend them enough! They were absolutely incredible and made our wedding evening everything we could have hoped for and more!

From start to finish, the atmosphere was amazing. Their song choices were spot on, and they had everyone up on the dance floor having the best time! They brought so much energy and fun to the evening, and we had so many guests telling us how brilliant they were.

A particularly special moment was having them perform our first dance, which they did so beautifully. It made the moment even more memorable, and we’re so grateful to have had them be such a big part of our day.

We genuinely didn’t want the night to end! The Valiants are such a talented band, and we couldn’t have wished for better entertainment for our wedding. Thank you so much for making our evening so unforgettable!

Entertainment Nation thoroughly recommended

We'd thoroughly recommend Entertainment Nation to anyone searching for quality entertainment to complete their special day. The communication and service has been excellent; we really can't fault it.

We hired The Watchtowers and they were utterly incredible. Friendly, professional, talented...and most of all, they knew how to interact with our guests and bring the party to its peek at the perfect moment. They utterly smashed it and have been a talking point amongst our friends and family ever since. 5 out of 5 stars, and forever grateful.

5/5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Although we’d give them more if we could!

We honestly cannot thank you enough! From start to finish, Entertainment Nation were fantastic to deal with. Communication was brilliant throughout, everything was so well organised and the whole process was completely stress-free.
As for Big City Beats… WOW! Where do we even begin?! They were absolutely phenomenal! Their voices were incredible, the talent was outstanding and the energy they brought to our wedding was just amazing. They created the most incredible atmosphere and had everyone up dancing!
What made them even more special was how genuinely lovely and personable they all were. They didn’t just feel like a band we’d booked, they felt like part of our friends and family! They got out onto the dance floor, interacted with our guests and made everyone feel involved.
There were so many special moments throughout the evening. They invited our friend Ben to join them on stage to sing, which was absolutely incredible and something we’ll never forget. Our little nephew had been air drumming along for ages, and they even invited him up to have a go on the drums himself! Such a lovely, thoughtful gesture that meant so much to us all.
They also dedicated a song I’d requested to me and my husband, which was another really special moment.
Everything ran so smoothly on the evening, and the band were professional from start to finish. They looked fantastic, sounded even better and fitted perfectly into the atmosphere of our wedding.
It’s those personal touches that made such a difference. They went above and beyond simply performing and genuinely helped make our wedding evening everything we’d dreamed of.
We’ve had so many compliments from our guests about how amazing the band were, and we honestly couldn’t have wished for better entertainment. We would recommend Big City Beats and Entertainment Nation in a heartbeat!
5/5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Although we’d give them more if we could!

Breaking news

We are conscious we didn’t say hello or thank you to the band but we were busy having such a great time due to the fact the band were so amazing!

They absolutely nailed the set list and all our guests said how great they were, the lead singer in particular! We knew we would like them from their online video but they exceeded our expectations and the dancefloor was packed the whole evening.

We will be recommending them to all our friends with upcoming weddings!

Great experience!

Our experience with Entertainment Nation and the Noughties Band was incredibly easy in the lead up to the wedding through a mixture of e-mails, band videos and catch-up calls, giving us a lot of confidence going in to the day.
The Noughties Bands themselves were INCREDIBLE, they were such good vibes and the dance floor was full the entire night.

The Shortwaves

Live music was a big thing for us when it came to our wedding, and Shortwaves definitely did not disappoint!

They were so easy to work with in the lead-up and really flexible with what we wanted, which made everything nice and straightforward. On the night they were absolutely brilliant — they sounded amazing, brought great energy and had everyone up dancing.

They really helped make the evening feel like a proper celebration and we’re so glad we chose them to play at our wedding. Would definitely recommend Shortwaves!

Groove On Down!

One thing I’ve always wanted on my wedding day was a live band with a brass section. Groove On Down caught my eye as they sounded so good on their demo videos and played all the songs that me and my husband wanted for our guests.
The booking process was easy and we were able to ask for what we wanted.
Closer to our wedding day they got in touch to just finalise small details, we were confident we had made the right choice.

On the day, they arrived at the agreed time and set up discreetly.
The band were all so friendly and approachable.
As soon as they struck up their first song, I knew we’d made the right choice. The sound of the band were fantastic and the singer had a fun energy, joking with the crowd. Whenever the band we’re playing, all our guests were up dancing!

I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Groove On Down to anybody that’s looking for a fun, professional function band to get their guests up dancing all night long!!

The whole experience from start to finish was perfect. Entertainment nation were super helpful and prompt in answering any of our questions. The band on the day were AMAZING. They were so much fun, matched the vibe of the whole day from their acoustic set to the evening.

Entertainment Nation and band 'Soulstress Groove' were amazing!

Entertainment Nation was such a great way to book the band for our wedding. It was a great way to compare lots of different acts, and Entertainment Nation were so helpful with providing quotes and information whilst we were deciding, and liaising with the band once we had made our choice.

Our chosen band Soulstress Groove were fantastic. They were really helpful and responsive in the run up to the wedding and were fantastic on the day! We had a singer and guitar duo for the drinks reception and the full 5 piece band for the evening. They were high energy, sounded and looked great and were so friendly. All the guests remarked how great they were! Highly recommend Soulstress Groove for your wedding day.

5 out of 5!

RIOT Had Everyone on the Dance Floor

RIOT were nothing short of sensational. We've been to a lot of weddings, and they are genuinely the best wedding band we've ever seen. It felt more like being at a live music concert than a wedding reception. Their energy, musicianship and stage presence were incredible, and our guests absolutely loved them. At one point, virtually every guest was on the dance floor, completely in awe of the performance, singing along and not wanting it to end.

They were also fantastic to work with, accommodating our requests and being flexible when our wedding timings ran slightly behind schedule, which we really appreciated. They played a huge part in making our day unforgettable.

The service from Entertainment Nation was clear, professional and straightforward from start to finish. If I had one small suggestion, it would be to send reminder emails ahead of key deadlines, as wedding planning can be hectic and it's easy for things to slip through the cracks. That said, this is a very minor point and did not impact our experience at all.

Overall, everything was brilliant from start to finish. We couldn't recommend RIOT or Entertainment Nation highly enough. Thank you for helping make our wedding day so special.

Audio Sunrise wedding band

Audio Sunrise are a fantastic band. They brought the party atmosphere with a great set list and beautiful playing. All our guests were very complimentary and the dance floor was packed for all three sets.

Tom, the band leader, was very flexible and patient. I chose our first dance song only the week before but he insisted that wasnt a problem and they played it beautifully. And the second song they played just happened to be my husband's favourite song so it created a very special moment for us and we are very grateful for this amazing band!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to make your big decisions easier.
