MIB are amazing!!

The team at MIB were so easy to deal with from the get go. They have so many packages and options to work with and an extensive track list. There really is something for everyone.

Their music is sensational, I have never seen the dance floor so jam packed at a wedding the whole way through the night. I didn’t want them to stop.

We knew we wanted a female vocalist and wow, Alix is so so talented.

A particular highlight was hearing the band practice our first dance song and it sounding better than the original. At that point we knew we were going to have a fantastic night.

Let’s do that again!!

Unbelievable. Just unbelievable! MIB were so brilliant all day for our wedding. They were with us from the ceremony to the end of the night and everything they did was exceptional. They were so accommodating throughout helping curate the perfect styles for each time of the day and the set lists we wanted. They kept the party atmosphere going all day and the dance floor was packed all night. Everyone I have spoke to said how unreal they were. We had such a great night and what they added to the ceremony made it better than we ever expected. Cannot recommend them enough!

Unforgettable wedding night

Not sure where to begin as from start to finish MIB and the management were sensational, made our day perfect and still 2yrs on our guests are discussing just how amazing the band was. ‘Can we get your wedding band back!’ is a statement being discussed by several guests.
We had a guitarist for our drinks reception and then a 5 piece band in the evening.
We were sent numerous genres, given the opportunity to request specific songs and generally made to feel our day was as important to them as it was to us.
In short we can’t recommend them highly enough.

An incredible live band for weddings

We originally saw MIB perform at a friends wedding and were blown away by them, so my husband and I were extremely excited that they were available for our wedding too! It wasn't just the fact that they are all incredibly talented (they are), and the music they play was so much fun (it was) but I think the thing that sets them apart from other wedding bands I've seen was the fact that they themselves had so much fun. It was very clear to me that they loved every second of their performance and that was the magic that spread to everyone else and made us smile and dance and sing along all evening.

Both performances (our wedding, and my friends wedding) were different - they very clearly understood exactly what we wanted, and read the audience perfectly. I've seen other bands before multiple times who play the same old songs over and over every time you see them - but each time they brought a completely different energy. I felt like they tailored every part of their performance for us - bringing in mind the style of the wedding, our tastes, our guests tastes - even our guests mood as it evolved throughout the evening. MIB are true professionals and we will never forget their incredible performance!

Perfect from start to finish.

So I organised with Sera the full package. We had a harp for guest arrival & ceremony, a violin for the canapés & cocktails, a pianist to play while we where eating (we supplied the piano), a sax after the meal before the evening began followed by the AMAZING band!
Everything was so well organised and well communicated I felt super confident to leave it in Sera & teams capable hands! It’s the reason I booked them, they are so well tuned everything felt very professional and ran so smoothly!
I was worried to book a band without seeing them first but I did not need to worry, they killed it. Everyone has been telling me how epic they where!

The electric violinist I loved and the sax as the sun was setting got everyone grooving I loved the vibe that Sera and team helped us create, they really made our wedding spectacular!

Highly recommend the all day & night package it’s worth every Penny!

Amazing musicians for your wedding

Wow - I saw their videos and knew they'd be brilliant, and the fact that they'd been booked for the Royal Wedding proved to me that they must be the best of the best, but even then I wasn't prepared for just how good the band would be. My husband is a drummer, and usually really fussy about watching bands play, but even he was so impressed.
Amazing musicians - the singers were fantastic - the brass section were so worth the extra money! Can't fault them - there's a reason why this band has been so popular over the years - you just can't beat them!

The icing on our cake to a perfect wedding day

Having live music was really important to us. We wanted something different and the minute we found MIB we felt like they had it - that 'thing' we were searching for. We looked at SO many bands. Hundreds?! It felt like hundreds! Its such a tough decision because they all seemed so similar, but MIB just had an energy that we loved and it set them apart from the rest. I'm so glad we chose them.

From the minute we enquired we knew we'd made the right choice. The team in the office were so on the ball with everything we asked of them. I know they do hundreds of weddings a year but it felt like ours was special to them - I'm not sure quite how they managed to make us feel that way but it felt very present in every communication we had, and it certainly felt the same when the band arrived on the day too.

The band were really kind in catering for our tastes and I feel like the song list was incredible. One minute they were playing Bruno Mars (which was a special request for our daughter) and the next minute they were rocking the Rolling Stones (which my Dad and his brother couldn't resist jumping on the dance-floor to). Every song made me smile. They were even kind enough to send us a spotify playlist link later, and its something we come back to time and time again over a glass of wine!

I can't recommend them enough. Book MIB, you will be so glad you did! They are true professionals and I can't imagine our wedding being anywhere near as fun without them

Highly recommended - a brilliant evening

Thanks to MIB for a brilliant evening of music and dancing. I barely saw my new husband for not leaving the dance floor! Thanks for making our evening reception a memorable one, many people said it was the best wedding they have been to and I’m 100% sure the music had a lot to do with that!
