Amazing band can recommend enough

We booked after seeing them in a pub garden. Due to covid had had to move my date on 2 occasions. Band were easy to liaise with and were Very accommodating.
Venue had issues with neighbours so we’re restricted to sound levels etc. Pete took coordinators details and sorted it all without me having to worry.

Now for the Music. One word. AMAZING.
I spent all evening on the dance floor. Would highly recommend booking this band if you enjoy good music form a band that can actually sing.

Can’t recommend enough

Amazing is an understatement!

They definitely made our wedding night 1 to remember! Everyone loved the music they were playing and even granted the requests. They were also very easy to communicate with, very patient with all the requests I asked before the wedding. I really cannot say enough compliments about them. THEY WERE AMAZING!

Amazing band

Go Commando were recommended to us by the wedding venue. From our first enquiry to the wedding day, they responded to our queries and requests straightaway. We choreographed our first dance and Go Commando sent us a demo of the song to practice to. On our wedding day, they turned up promptly and were absolutely amazing. They played our chosen songs and any requests made. Overall we cannot fault them in any way and is a memory we hold fondly.

Amazing! A must for any wedding

I couldn’t recommend Pete and the band enough. Pete was really great at communicating when making our plans. All our guests loved the band and made such a good vibe for our wedding evening party! We got married at the Gallivant in East Sussex and the venue and go commando were such a great combo! Thank you so so much!

Made our whole day

A year before our wedding my husband to be and I went to our friend’s wedding. We heard the band and my husband instantly fell in love. I knew immediately that I wanted to surprise my husband on our day so secretly booked Go Commando. They were amazing at keeping everything quiet for me. We booked Pete for acoustic singing during our canapés and the band for the evening. Both were amazing. The dancefloor was busy all night and they even accommodated my very drunk brothers and father in laws who decided to do an impromptu version of ‘Wonderwall’. Literally made our whole wedding

So glad we chose Go Commando to play at our wedding in July! It was the hottest day of the year and despite the venue being roasting hot, they were absolutely fantastic on the night, very flexible & super easy going yet uber professional. A great repetoire of songs and all our guests loved them! Thanks guys :)

A great range of music and everyone was up dancing and commented on how good they were. There was a slight language barrier with the locals, being in Italy but this didn't affect anything. Everything was managed well and even with the usual wedding delays Go Commando were great at ensuring everything fit in. Which helped me after my many proseccos!!! Hope you guys enjoyed it as much as we did :)

Go Commando played at my wedding last week and I can't recommend them highly enough! Talented friendly chaps who know just how to get everyone up on the dance floor! Huge selection of songs from classic floor fillers to golden oldies, they gave us an amazing customised experience and really got our guests in the mood to party! Thanks guys!

I cannot recommend Go Commando enough! A great bunch of guys with a huge talent. The boys played at our wedding reception and they were amazing! Aside from their musical talents, it felt like having family there. Their laid back attitude made them a hit with my guests and I will not hesitate to use them again if an occasion arises. Thank you so much guys. You were an absolute pleasure!! X
