WARNING: Reading this may cause uncontrollable excitement about your wedding entertainment! 🚨

Meet Oceanview Party Band - we're the wedding band that turns your 'elegant affair' into the best party this side of Glastonbury (but with better toilets and fewer muddy wellies). After rocking 350+ weddings across the UK, we've seen everything from grandads breakdancing to bridesmaids starting mosh pits - and we're here for ALL of it!

Here's the deal: While other live wedding bands promise to 'create the perfect atmosphere' (yawn), we're busy creating absolute SCENES on dance floors across England, Scotland, Wales and even a destination wedding in Greece! We once had a bride walk down the aisle to Guns N' Roses - because who says 'here comes the bride' can't have a guitar solo? 🎸

Our not-so-secret recipe for the ultimate wedding entertainment: ✨ One part professional musicians (who actually look like they're having fun) ✨ Two parts extensive song list (from Amy Winehouse to Arctic Monkeys) ✨ Three parts energy that could power a small city ✨ A splash of that special something that makes your uncle Dave think he can breakdance

Choose our signature live band package, and you'll get a power trio that sounds like a full 10 piece band (we're basically wizards). Level up with our DJ service to keep the party pumping between sets, or start your day with our acoustic duo making your drinks reception classier than a monocle-wearing penguin.

The boring (but important) bits: We're fully insured for £10M, PAT tested, and more reliable than your fiancé remembering your anniversary. Plus, we're faster at setting up than a speed-dating event (and with better results).

But here's what really sets us apart - we're the band that had:

  • A full wedding party air-guitaring to 'I Believe In A Thing Called Love'
  • Three generations doing synchronized dancing to Arctic Monkeys
  • A father of the bride who forgot his speech but nailed every word of 'Mr. Brightside'

Looking for a wedding band in the UK that'll have your guests talking for years? (For the right reasons, not because of that thing your cousin did at the last family wedding... 😬)

Skip the cookie-cutter wedding entertainment - your big day deserves better than background music and awkward silences. Let's create the kind of wedding party that makes everyone else's wedding look like a library book club meeting!

🎸 Ready to Level Up Your Wedding? 🎸 Don't settle for the same-old 'background music' vibes. While you're here (and before another couple snags your date), hit that enquiry button faster than your partner said 'yes!' We're booking 2025/26 weddings across the UK, and our calendar is filling up quicker than the dance floor at the first chorus of 'Sweet Caroline.'

Your future guests will thank you. Your dance floor will thank you. Even your nan will thank you (once she's recovered from her thinking she's Stevie Nicks, crowd-surfing with a tambourine).

Book your wedding entertainment that's more memorable than your best man's speech and more reliable than your wedding diet! Let's make some unforgettable memories together. 🎉

P.S. Still reading? You clearly have great taste and stamina - just like our dance floor heroes who keep going until the very last song! Take it as a sign - we're meant to be your wedding band! 😉

Phenomenal

Adam was truly amazing. From initial booking to the end of the night the communication was amazing.

Choosing the right band for our wedding was the most difficult part of the planning. We looked at so many different bands but the availability of live videos and seeing how Oceanview can get a crowd rocking is what swung it for us. With the right mix professionalism and friendliness they were perfect for the party vibe we were going for. We left the set list completely up to the band and the dance floor was packed constantly which is testament to how these guys can read a room perfectly.

Thank you so much for such an amazing night. 🥳

Cracking band who helped make our festival a big success

Sorry we are late in writing this review but it still feels like yesterday, we booked the Mid West Trio for headlining a mini music festival and they were absolutely great. Extremely responsive & professional to deal with in booking. Adam was really communicative and they arrived on time to setup, were easy to deal with on the day and they they rocked the festival for 2 hours, amid the best of british summer weather. We highly recommend the guys and will be booking again I'm sure.

Unbelievably straightforward

Couldn’t recommend ocean view enough from the minute I sent my first email everything was so easy. Adam was so so easy to work with and did what he could to make the experience straightforward and simple. They really made our wedding party and we would have them at any event we are planning in the future. The song choices are unmatched and they really do bring the vibes!

Excellent performers, made our evening!

We booked Oceanview for our event, and what can I say,.. they were outstanding! The mix of indie/ pop/ rock is just what we needed to cater to our audience and we've had so many compliments on how good the band were. Overall, professional, great sound and top lads. Would highly recommend.

Best Band Ever!

These guys had been recommended to me for my 40th Birthday Party. It was great Gatsby/Peaky Blinder themed and they all dressed up for the occasion! They were great fun and had everyone up dancing all night, we didn't want them to leave! They even learnt a couple of my fave songs last min! Amazing set list.....Can highly recommend these lovely talented guys.

Fantastic band

I have used Oceanview a couple of times now for different events and they are an absolute pleasure to work with.
Not only are they great musicians with a fantastic vibe that the audience loved, but they are so friendly and helpful and nothing is too much trouble. Exactly what you need to reduce stress with your planning.
I highly recommend.
