    Great live band, good communication, very entertaining

    Just a shout out to Hard to Handle who we had the good fortune to find for our wedding last year in Aylesbury. Honestly could not have asked for a better band as we wanted a proper party with a 90s / early 2000s feel. Communication was really good from the first enquiry, and we spent time on the phone which was a nice personal touch rather than just getting emails which is what we got from other bands and booking agents. The music was great all night and both the band and their DJ played our requests and kept the dance floor full. Would recommend to anyone looking for a great band!

    Great band for my wedding

    We had our wedding at our venue near Coventry (Ansty Hall) and they recommended Hard to Handle band. We looked at other bands but kept coming back to them as their music sounded so good. They were fantastic and incorporated all of our special song requests into their sets and made the night into a real part with everyone dancing.

    perfect band for our wedding!

    Conor and myself just wanted to say a big thank you to everyone in Hard to Handle for the amazing live music they played at our wedding in March. We always wanted a live band for our wedding reception and we definitely got the best! Everything was perfect from the first phone call, all the information we received, adding a DJ and all the song requests. I’m sure the band won’t mind saying that their price for everything they provide is also brilliant. So many of our guests commented how good you were. Highlight for us was your mini emo set which took all of us back to our college days, which was exactly what we wanted. A wonderful night that we won’t forget!

    Hard to Handle wedding band + DJ's reply:

    Hi lovely Jess! This is something brides and groom usually about the band, but may I just say that we loved your energy, especially during the emo numbers! You guys clearly love a party and live music and you are definitely contenders for the best audience / wedding of 2026! Many thanks for choosing to share your big day with us.

    Fantastic music and great atmosphere

    Would definitely recommend Hard to Handle. They have such a large repertoire of music, from 60s classics to modern day songs. We booked them for two live music sets and two DJ sets for our wedding reception and we were really pleased. They created a great atmosphere and interacted with the guests brilliantly. High quality live music and we had a lot of comments from our guests saying how much they liked the band.

    Hi Laura, what a wonderful recommendation! Thank you so much for your find words; we loved playing for you and your guests. Thank you for taking the time to get in touch, much appreciated!

    10 out of 10 recommended!

    3 years since we got married to the sounds of hard to handle at Fillongley Hall, my sister has also booked them for her wedding in 2028, we were looking for wedding decor on Hitched and came across you so thought I would drop a note to say that everyone still talks about how good you were when you played at our wedding! Can’t wait to see you again, cheers, Liz X

    Brill live band for our wedding!

    Hard to Handle played our big fairytale wedding! Almost 2 years ago but we still talk about how good they were. The wedding early part was styled to be sophisticated (think classy dress to die for, elegant / lush décor, hubby and groomsmen tailored tuxes (chosen by me of course!) but for later on we wanted something different, a bit more raw & fun and that’s why we chose this band. Their energy was non-stop, all night, lots of fave songs played like Fallout boy, MCR and more classic stuff for my parents aunts and uncs. DJ played Ibiza sets and lots of other stuff and everything was just perfect!

    lovely band, best night ever

    Had the perfect day and night with hard to handle. They played an acoustic slot for our drinks reception, helped out when the people supplying the speakers for our speeches couldn't attend and played all of our song requests on the night. We were going to have a Taylor Swift song for our first dance but we heard them doing Rule the world on their website and chose it instead. It was absolutely amazing and made Jase my hubby cry! Honestly could not imagine a better day thanks to this lovely band.

    Brilliant last minute booking saved the day, 10/10.

    Our wedding near Derby. Got us out of trouble, the first band we hired through a booking agent dropped out with a week to go. Absolute nightmare but hired Hard to Handle through a friend who had them for their wedding, came to the rescue, absolutely smashed it, played our song requests, supplied a DJ too, can't recommend enough. Top marks boys.

    Hard to Handle wedding band + DJ's reply:

    Hi Ben, we're so glad we could come to your rescue! Everything fell into place; did we mention that we'd just learnt your first dance song for another couple of who chosen the song for their first dance the following month? It must have been destiny...we are so glad you chose to share your big day with us and your friends, and it was so nice to see them all on the dance floor, thank you so much!

    Brilliant live band, marquee on our farm in Wetherby!

    Hard to Handle were the first band we found and the band we kept coming back to. Their website is great with lots of music and information to help us decide. From the first phone call we knew they were the band for us; one of the musicians runs the band so we didn't have to go through a booking agency. He was brilliant and suggested that we ask all of our guests to request a song for them to play. He helped us put together a list of songs and I don't think there was one request that they didn't play! Me and my hubby have very different tastes in music but nothing was too much trouble for this talented band. They also played our first dance and some Aussie songs for my family which was such a lovely touch. Their DJ was also really good and kept us all on the dance floor when the band weren't playing. Lots of our guests were asking us where we found such an amazing band! Honestly the best band we could ever have hoped to make our day extra special. Would recommend, 10/10!

    Made everything really easy

    Hard to Handle played at our wedding near Warwickshire in September and were absolutely faultless. The whole booking process was really easy and we loved all the music on their playlist so much that it was hard to whittle it down but they played all of our 32 song requests and their DJ added some nice Ibiza style surprises for us. Really helpful, lots of energy. Would book them again!
