The Brilliant Blue Lion Band
We would like to thank Darren and the Blue Lion Band for entertaining us at our evening reception at the Ashdown Park Hotel in September 2025.
We went to see their showcase in Hove during the summer and after speaking with Darren we immediately decided to book them.
We chose an 8-piece set up with brass section and they were fantastic. They completely exceeded all expectations. The sound was amazing and the music was flawless. They sounded better live than on any of the demo videos we watched.
They did 3 sets and each set ensured the dance floor was never empty. Both of the vocalists had brilliant voices and the brass section were fabulous and added so much to the overall sound.
They made our wedding truly special and we can’t thank and recommend them enough.
Booking and organising the evening was easy. The portal made it run smoothly and Darren was very helpful in arranging the evening and working out timings and our play list.
Thank you so much to Darren and the Blue Lion BandBlue Lion Band's reply:

Wouldn't hesitate to recommend!
Our caterers had heard Blue Lion Band at an event and recommended them to us. Communication was swift. They happened to be doing a showcase in London that night. We visited and within 3 songs they played one of "our" tracks and we were sold. The atmosphere they create is electric. I honestly spent most of my wedding evening reception dancing! Dessie and the whole band are phenomenal. We had so many great comments about them from guests and the staff at our wedding venue. Just perfect!Blue Lion Band's reply:
Thanks so much, Lisa and Gordon! It was an absolute pleasure playing for you with the full 10-piece band – not only is it incredible fun for us musicians, but the sound really comes alive! Dessie enjoyed the Lucian vibes in the room. Wishing you both all the very best for your married life. -

Caragh Sent on 21/09/2025What an incredible night!
From the very first point of contact with Dessie, we knew we were in safe hands. His professionalism, enthusiasm, and passion for what he does came across instantly, and he made the whole process feel so easy and exciting. We also went along to watch the band play a set in Hoxton, which completely confirmed for us that The Blue Lion Band was the band for our wedding – the energy, the talent, and the way they engaged with the crowd was just unmatched.
On the wedding day itself, they completely exceeded every expectation we had. The vibe they created and the party atmosphere they brought was beyond anything we could have imagined. In our pre-wedding meeting, we’d said that all we wanted was for everyone to be on the dancefloor all night and to have the best time – and they absolutely delivered on that and so much more.
Every single member of the band was incredible. Their talent, energy, and sheer love for performing shone through, and it made the whole evening unforgettable. As the bride and groom, we genuinely didn’t leave the dancefloor once – and being invited up to join the band on stage at one point was such a surreal and unforgettable highlight.
The feedback from our guests has been overwhelming – people are still talking about how amazing the band was and how they could have happily kept dancing all night long. It honestly felt like one huge celebration from start to finish, and The Blue Lion Band were such a massive part of making that happen.
We feel so lucky to have had them as part of our big day. If you’re looking for a wedding band that will not only get the party started but keep it going all night, look no further – The Blue Lion Band are truly something special.Blue Lion Band's reply:
Hey Caragh,
Thank you so much for your amazing feedback! I’m so glad the band helped make your day unforgettable and kept the dance-floor full all night. It was such a pleasure working with you, and I’ll be sure to pass your lovely words on to the whole team.
Warm regards,
Dessie -

Rachel Sent on 11/09/2025Total professionals!
Wedding at Wharfedale Grange on 21st August 2025. We were absolutely delighted with Blue lion Band! They were unbelievably helpful during the entire planning process and the musicians were ALL on time, in exact the right place and playing exactly the right stuff just perfectly. I couldn’t fault them. We had a string duo for our ceremony, a cocktail trio in the afternoon and a 7 piece live band for the evening. I just wish I had had time to thank them all in person on the day. The vocalist was exceptional and they all NAILED the first dance song for us- it went down a storm!Blue Lion Band's reply:
Wow, Rachel, thank you so much for this incredible feedback! 🎉 We’re over the moon to hear how much you loved every part of the music on your big day, from the string duo right through to the 7-piece band. The team, had such a brilliant time being part of your celebration at Wharfedale Grange, and it means the world to know the first dance hit just the right note. Huge congratulations again and here’s to many more nights of dancing and music ahead! -

David Sent on 20/08/2025Wedding Band - Dave & Jade
Darren and The Blue Lion band made our wedding absolutely perfect from start to finish. Accommodating last minutes additions (Saxophonist during the cocktail hour) as well as letting us have full input into the set lists as well as DJ sessions in between. The online portal is great and easy to use, communicating throughout as well as on the day with any time adjustments. Could not recommend them highly enough and the dancefloor was packed all night. Thank you!Blue Lion Band's reply:
Hi David and Jade, thanks again for having us play at your wedding. Battle Abbey is certainly one of the most memorable venues we've played at and it was great to see you and your guests on the dance floor all night. Wishing you all the best for the future! Darren and The Blue Lion Band
