A day full of wonderful music from It's A Vibe

It's A Vibe truly made our wedding day. From the very beginning, they worked with us to help curate the perfect soundtrack, making sure every part of the day had the right atmosphere.

Connor, the band manager, was incredibly professional and knowledgeable throughout the planning process. He took the time to understand our vision and offered great suggestions that really helped bring the day together.

We were lucky enough to have live music throughout the entire day, and every performance was fantastic. We started with a pianist for our ceremony, who even learned a new song especially for my walk down the aisle. It was such a special moment and meant so much to us.

After the ceremony, we had the acoustic trio performing during our drinks reception in the garden. They created the perfect relaxed atmosphere while also getting guests singing along and even having an early dance.

Following dinner, we had a saxophonist playing during our sunset cocktail hour. This was exactly the vibe we were hoping for: laid-back and stylish, while gradually building the excitement for the evening ahead.

Then came the evening party, and we went all out with It's A Vibe's incredible 7-piece band. We chose three 45-minute live sets with a DJ in between, and honestly, the dance floor was packed all night long. Their set list catered brilliantly for all ages, and they were even happy to accommodate a couple of our song requests.

So many of our guests commented on how amazing the music was, and it genuinely made such a difference to the atmosphere. There's nothing quite like live music at a wedding, and It's A Vibe absolutely exceeded our expectations.

If you're considering booking them, do it! Whether you choose one part of their offering or, like us, have live music throughout the day, you'll be in the best hands. Every single performance brought something unique, and we're so grateful they were such a special part of our wedding.

It’s a wedding package!

We booked it’s a vibe 6 piece band for our wedding reception 20/06/2026 and they were incredible! They kept the energy high all evening and all our guests commented/still mention how amazing they were, a couple of our engaged friends are looking to book them for their weddings!
We couldn’t recommend them enough, they set up and packed away seamlessly and were very professional!

Absolutely a vibe

What a great experience we had with Connor and the band. We had a guitarist before our ceremony, a pianist for dinner, and 6 piece band for the reception. Everyone had so much fun! They were excellent to work with, provided great communication, and even made an IG video of the wedding. Absolutely recommend.

A must have for your event!

From start to finish - It's A Vibe were incredible. We started off with an initial call with the team where they were seeking to understand who were were as a couple and what would have really made our day special through music. From that very call we knew we were working with professionals; they listened to our tastes and guided us on the size of the band and even helped us narrow down our first dance and entrance songs which made it feel more special and unique than we had ever thought it could be. Their communication throughout the planning was flawless and on the day we couldn't have asked for better. The team are incredibly nice and talented people and we couldn't recommend them more highly! All of our guests were blown away (all age groups!) If we have any other events (big or small) they will the first on the list. Thanks Connor and team!

They really are a vibe! 🎶

We hired It’s A Vibe for our wedding last month, and they were absolutely amazing from start to finish.

The entertainment part of our wedding was the most important, so when I came across their Instagram over 2 years ago, I couldn’t wait for them to perform. I’d never seen them in person, but I could tell they were the right band for us.

The communication with Connor leading up to the day was always quick answering any questions we had.

On the night they did not disappoint! The dancefloor was busy from start to finish and was everything I hoped for!

I’d do anything to relive the evening of our wedding and couldn’t recommend these guys enough!

Thank you so much Connor, Zoe and the whole band 🤍🎶
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to make your big decisions easier.
