The best wedding breakfast!

Neo-Roots performed during our drinks reception and wedding breakfast.
The experience we had with them was faultless. Jess and her team liaised directly with our venue which made it so much easier for us. Jess kept us in the loop with any questions and once information had been finalised. But we never had any doubts as she was so professional and organised.
The band were seamless in moving from the drinks reception area to the wedding breakfast area. Their set up and take down was flawless, at no point did they interrupt the atmosphere or interfere with the running of the day.

The wedding breakfast performance! Wow! I cannot put into words how amazing the performance, vocals and vibes were. All of our guests commented on how amazing they were. They had everyone up dancing before we even got announced into the room as Mr and Mrs which is exactly what we wanted. We felt like we were missing out on some of the party when we could hear them all singing and celebrating. Their guest interaction and playing songs tailored to the audience were great, everyone was up dancing. So many of our guests commented that it was one of the best weddings they had ever been to and I truly believe, NeoRoots were a massive part of this! Having NeoRoots perform before the wedding breakfast was something guests had never had before at weddings they attended and made it so memorable.

We cannot recommend them enough! Thank you all so so much for being a part of such a special day of ours!

Unbelievable

NeoRoots were nothing short of exceptional at our wedding. Music was such a huge deal for us, so I spent hours researching bands and trying to find the perfect one. I was honestly so worried in the run-up to the wedding because I just wanted everything about the music to be perfect — but I needn’t have worried. They were absolutely incredible! They had everyone on their feet from the moment they started right through to the end of the evening. They were even the topic of conversation at breakfast the next morning, with guests saying they felt like they’d been to a show rather than a wedding! Jess is such a vibe, and their song choices were absolutely perfect for us. They somehow managed to read the room perfectly and kept the energy going all night.
I also have to give a special mention to Tino, who had to deal with my 1,000s of questions in the build-up to the big day! He was so kind, patient and helpful throughout and genuinely couldn’t have done more for us. Several of our guests actually left with their business cards and told us they thought NeoRoots were by far the best wedding band they’d ever seen — which says it all! They were incredibly professional, insanely talented and had the energy to keep the whole dance floor going. We genuinely couldn’t recommend them enough. Thank you so much, guys, for making our wedding party so unbelievably special. I’m just hoping I get the chance to party with you again one day! ❤️

The BEST NYE Wedding Band

We booked Neo Roots after months of research, as we wanted a band that could offer flexibility across genres and eras to keep all of our guests happy at our wedding.

A band can truly make or break a wedding or party, and it’s safe to say Neo Roots absolutely MADE ours — they were exceptional.

From our very first meeting, the band were incredibly responsive, flexible, and genuinely listened to what we wanted musically. On the day, they arrived early to set up and carry out a sound check, being very mindful of our small venue so as not to disrupt our wedding breakfast or celebrations.

When I discovered that our ceremony venue had a grand piano, they kindly agreed to play during our ceremony at very short notice, which was such a special touch. As for the evening set — what can I say? The dance floor was packed all night. Guests couldn’t believe the music was live because the vocals sounded that good.

Whether you’re planning an intimate gathering, a small venue celebration, or a large wedding with hundreds of guests, don’t hesitate to book Neo Roots. You will not regret it. They were truly one of the best parts of our wedding day.

Incredible band highly recommend!!

We were absolutely blown away by NeoRoots! From start to finish, they brought so much energy, joy, and talent to our wedding day. Having the roaming band during our wedding breakfast was such a special touch — they created the most fun and lively atmosphere, and our guests couldn’t stop dancing, singing along, and getting involved. You know you done a good job when the crowd won’t let you stop!

So many of our guests commented on how amazing the band was — they truly made our day. Beyond their incredible music, they were also a joy to work with: organised, flexible, and genuinely invested in making our celebration perfect.

If you’re looking for a band that will not only meet but exceed every expectation, we couldn’t recommend NeoRoots more highly. They helped turn our wedding into the best party we could have imagined!
Thank you so much
Eve & Jack

Amazing Function Band

We had the absolute pleasure of having NeoRoots Function Band play at our wedding at the start of August, and we can honestly say they were one of the best decisions we made for the day.

From start to finish, the music was just incredible. We had the ceremony and cocktail duo during the day, which created the perfect atmosphere and set the tone beautifully. Then in the evening, the full band took over and absolutely brought the party!

They even learnt our first dance song, which meant so much to us – it was performed perfectly and made that moment even more special. Throughout the whole process, communication was fantastic – Jess in particular was amazing. She made everything easy, personal, and stress-free.

Since the wedding, we’ve had so many messages from friends and family telling us how brilliant the band was – several people said they’d never spent so much time on a dance floor at a wedding before! NeoRoots genuinely made the evening unforgettable.

We can’t thank them enough and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a band that brings talent, energy, and total professionalism.

Thank you, NeoRoots!

Unfortunately disappointing

We hired this band for our wedding, and while there were some positive moments, overall we were left quite disappointed, especially considering the importance of the music and the cost involved.

The positive was that once the band got going, they sounded good. A few of the songs we had specifically requested really landed well with our guests and their energy during those moments was much appreciated.

However, a few key issues unfortunately overshadowed the experience.

One was significant delays (partially due to dinner delay and partially due to the band) led to a very reduced set time.
The band didn’t start playing until around 10:30pm — over an hour and a half later than expected — despite previous reassurances that setup could be completed within 90 minutes. As a result, we received only about 1 hour and 20 minutes of live music, instead of the full 2 hours we had paid for.

The freelance engineer brought in seemed unprepared for the venue’s technical setup, despite this information having been shared well in advance. We were particularly disappointed to learn that he hadn’t even been told it was a wedding, and his attitude toward us on the night was unfortunately quite rude, something no couple should have to deal with on their wedding day.

Despite conversations ahead of time about our preferred music style (a mix of modern hits and '90s tracks), the set didn’t really reflect what we had envisioned. It felt static and didn’t adapt to the crowd as we’d hoped. We asked wedding party members twice to ask for the music to be altered on the night with no success. It took the groom to ask again for anything to be changed (not something you want to do on your wedding day). We’d also been under the impression that the singer and saxophonist would be roaming, but this didn’t happen.

We’re not sharing this review to be unkind, but to provide honest feedback for others making a big decision — and spending a significant amount — on wedding entertainment. The band has talent, but unfortunately the planning, communication and delivery didn’t live up to what was promised or expected especially due to the cost.

Amazing!!!

If you are thinking of booking NeoRoots, all we can say is DO IT!! They are absolutely incredible and kept everyone on the dancefloor at our wedding all night! We spent so long looking at so many different bands and when we came across NeoRoots we knew they were perfect for us.

From our initial enquiry right through to the wedding day Tino was brilliant. He dealt with all of our queries, had multiple calls with us and was super helpful in adjusting the timings to ensure everything ran smoothly. The band even helped us with our timings by doing some of the set up the day before the wedding which made a massive difference for us.

And now to their performance on the night...wow!!! All of our guests have been going on about how amazing they were. The set lists were perfect and everyone loved the way the band were out roaming amongst the dance floor! They really got everyone involved and are all so incredibly talented.

All we need to do now is find an excuse for another party! Thanks so much NeoRoots!

The icing on the cake!!

I'm not one for writing reviews but have never felt so compelled in a long long time.
These guys and girls were the centrepiece at my sons wedding and were without doubt THEE most talented group of singers and musicians you are likely to encounter. If you are planning a wedding I urge you to get these guys into your budget. You will not be disappointed. 11/10

Wow, what a band!

I feel I need to shout from the rooftops not leave a review here about the NR band. From start to finish they were an absolute dream, we had them at our wedding all day, we asked them to bring the party and boy did they. The venue described it as the best wedding they have seen! They put their heart and soul in to performing, we danced non stop from the wedding breakfast entrance till the last song, our guests LOVED them, describing it like a concert and wanting to hire the band every month. They made the wedding for us and no one had ever seen anything like it. We can’t thank Jess and the gang enough, we are officially Rooties!
We can’t can’t to have another party to get the band back together 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
