We feel so lucky to have Lazy Marmalade as part of our day!

We booked Lazy Marmalade two years before our wedding after discovering them on Instagram. From the very first interaction, everything was seamless. Their communication was clear, professional, and reassuring, which made planning so much easier.

On the day, they were absolute pros. They arrived and set up so discreetly. Zero stress, just smooth sailing!

We chose a package that included performances during our drinks reception and evening party, and they absolutely nailed both. Their energy was infectious, and they kept the vibe alive all night long. We received so many compliments from guests about how incredible they are.

We were both nervous about doing a first dance but they knew exactly when to bring everyone on the dance floor, and something we were nervous about turned into a really magical moment.

We feel so lucky to have Lazy Marmalade as part of our day. Truly worth every penny!

10/10 performance

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
We cannot recommend Jon and Alex from Lazy Marmalade highly enough! They were absolutely incredible from start to finish. They played during our ceremony, the drinks reception, and our evening party (with a DJ set in between) — and kept the energy perfect for every moment of the day.

They even learnt and performed our first dance song, which made it so special and personal. Their musicianship was top-quality, they were super professional, and genuinely lovely people to have around on such an important day.

So many of our guests commented on how amazing the music was, and we couldn’t agree more. Excellent value for money and worth every penny. If you’re looking for talented, reliable, and all-round brilliant musicians for your wedding or event — Lazy Marmalade are the ones!

Top class entertainment

We cannot thank Alex and Jon enough for providing such top-class entertainment for our wedding day! They went above and beyond to create an unbeatable atmosphere. We never imagined dancing that much on our wedding day, but the music was next level and so great to have all the guests on the dancefloor! Our experience dealing with Lazy Marmalade was seamless from start to finish, completely stress-free, and any queries were answered very promptly. Thank you ever so much, you were simply the best!

Lazy marmalade are fantastic!!

We throughly enjoyed having Lazy Marmalade at our wedding. They were amazing. They played a great range of songs and our guests loved them! It was really special having our first dance song sung by them too.

Jon and Alex responded to all communications really quickly, and are both super friendly. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience.

Incredible

Jon and Alex are the best, ever.
I literally didn't come off the dance floor all night.
They understood the vibe and the guests so well, the live sets were amazing, and the DJ's fab, the perfect blend of live and DJ.
The sang our first dance as well which made it so so special!
They went above and beyond to help us pre wedding, which was so helpful as well!
I cannot recommend them enough!

Flawless!!

We booked Lazy Marmalade for our wedding in October 2025. Everything from the initial meeting to the last dance was incredible and expertly managed. Lazy marmalade were very responsive in the build up, were professional on the day (working seamlessly with our other entertainment) and blew the roof off the venue. Some sore feet from dancing the next day - but not a single regret - our dance floor was packed! Thanks again both, mega, mega, MEGA!

Easiest and best wedding decision we made!

When looking for a wedding band, our venue had some very specific criteria to adhere to, and we needed to find a band that would work with our sound restrictions. As soon as I found Lazy Marmalade I knew they were the right choice, initially because I saw that they use digital foot drums instead of acoustic drums, which suited our venue perfectly, and on reviewing their YouTube videos and social media it gave us a great idea of what they would sound like.

The communication was first class from the beginning all the way through to the day, and Alex and Jon were friendly, polite and professional all night too.

Everyone was up and dancing during the live performances, and with such a varied choice of songs there was something that suited everyone. The DJ sets were also great, and they really listened to our playlist requests and read the room in terms of what to play. Despite initially thinking that the digital foot drums might sacrifice the atmosphere or sound, this absolutely was not the case and you had no idea that there was anything different to a usual band, while keeping the venue (and neighbours) happy!

The wedding planning journey can be really stressful, but the band was the simplest, easiest decision we made and we were absolutely thrilled with everything they did. I would highly recommend Lazy Marmalade to anyone - absolute gold standard of wedding bands! Thank you so much Alex and Jon for really making our wedding the "big party" vibe we wanted!

The best band and loveliest guys! 😊

I booked Lazy Marmalade for our wedding day back in May 2024 before I’d even secured our venue, I was that confident. And I was right! We truly couldn’t have wished for more from Alex & Jon. They are both true professionals and our dance floor was never empty. I couldn’t really pay them a higher compliment than booking them again a couple of months later to play my 30th birthday party in July this year! Again, they were incredible, the dance floor was bouncing (literally) and the night was a huge success. Not only do we love watching them perform, Alex & Jon are the loveliest guys to have around and it’s a pleasure to see them rock up ☺️ We wouldn’t have anyone else! Thank you again for helping to make two special occasions so wonderful - we hope to dance around with you again one day! 😁 Leah & Matt (& pretty much the whole gang!) xx

5th September- Barn at Brynich.

one word- wow!
from the minute we found you on tiktok we knew we had to have you preform for our special day & what a decision is was!
from the first email to the last you kept me calm, talked me through everything, gave us the choice of songs you could sing but also giving us the option to pick our own songs which were special to us. you nailed our song choice whilst i walked down the aisle & knowing how much it meant to you guys too made it all that more special. your song choices for our evening reception were spot on and the dance floor was always full, even if there were some dodges dance moves at points!
i will recommend you to anyone and everyone, thank you just isn’t enough.
Shannon & Matthew.

Super talented musicians and great guys too!

Alex and Jon were brilliant to work with! My husband and I are both musical, so finding our perfect musicians for our day was always going to be a big task... or so we thought! Lazy Marmalade was a recommended vendor at our venue (Matara), and as soon as I watched one of their videos I was sold. I got in touch with them with a slightly unusual request - would my husband be able to play a song with them on his saxophone? A cheeky request, but it was met with enthusiasm from the guys! This moment was one of my husband's favourite of the whole day, and we're so grateful they were happy to make it happen.

We booked the Platinum package, so the guys played as our guests took their seats for the ceremony, our ceremony music, during the reception, and during the evening party. At each part of our day the music was absolutely perfect - soft and emotional during the ceremony, fun and upbeat during the reception, and straight-up bangers for the evening!

Jon and Alex are such professionals, communicating really clearly and responding quickly too. On the day, they even brought another vocalist to help out with some of the evening tracks, who was equally talented. Together, they created such a brilliant atmosphere. We had so many guests ask us where we found them and commenting on how amazing they were! They were even up for having one of our guests join them on the clarinet for a couple of songs in the evening too (after checking it was ok with us!).

Lazy Marmalade were the perfect choice for us, and we can't recommend them enough.

Fantastic Acoustic Duo & DJ

Word cannot describe how amazing Alex & Jon (Lazy Marmalade) were. Found them on Hitched and after reading the reviews and watching their stuff these guys did not disappoint.
They are so professional and genuine lovely blokes. The whole process from start to finish was flawless. Communication was brilliant and they really put my mind at ease.
They were with us the whole day, playing live when quests arrived, ceremony music, playing during welcome drinks, playing our first day dance then live sets during the evening. Throw into that being DJs and playing some absolute classics...even playing the 'Wolves FC' songs 😊
Our guests were blown away by them and are still talking about them now.
Honestly guys you made our day 🧡🐺 Amy & Steve

It was a pleasure to have Lazy Marmalade perform at our wedding on Tuesday! Alex and Jon you are an amazing duo and you really did make our day! There are so many songs that hold special memories for us as a couple but hearing you perform them live really gave us goosebumps and they will now hold even more special memories for us! You set the atmosphere of the day.. got all our guests up dancing and was enjoyed not only by us but everyone who attended our wedding also. You’re both lovely gentlemen and it is so clear to see you both have a passion for what you do! We would honestly recommend you to anyone and really appreciate your time, effort and dedication on our special day. Thank you again so much for making our day unforgettable!

What a duo!!

Lazy Marmlade were amazing right from the beginning. They are so approachable and so friendly. We instantly booked them as soon as we booked the wedding - it was a non negotiable to have them both and boy did it pay off. Everyone loved them and said they were a fantastic duo. The drinks reception was perfect, the ceremony and then the evening couldn’t fault it!

It was an extremely hot night and they both carried on through the sweat and tears on the dancefloor!!!!! They know what to play and how to get life on the dancefloor :)

We are so grateful for your full day entertainment and we can’t wait to come and support you more in the future. We will always recommend you and I’m sure all of our guests will be as well!

We cannot recommend Lazy Marmalade enough! From initially enquiring about our wedding day, right up until the day, they were really responsive. We supplied our playlist for the night and they played / performed all the songs on our wish list. Jon & Alex were great and even offered to perform our first dance on the day. They kept the dance floor full all night and our guests absolutely loved them.
We are looking forward to their next gig (hopefully soon?!) - we cannot wait to hear them perform again! You are both amazing!!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to make your big decisions easier.
