Incredible!!!!

We honestly couldn't have asked for a better wedding band than Lazy Marmalade (Jon & Alex)! From start to finish they were incredibly accommodating and so easy to work with, making everything completely stress-free.

Their performance was absolutely fantastic. They brought so much energy and joy to our wedding, and somehow managed to get even our rowdy crowd up on the dance floor all night! The atmosphere they created was exactly what we had hoped for and so many of our guests commented afterwards on how brilliant they were.

Jon and Alex are both amazing singers and incredibly talented musicians, but they're also genuinely lovely guys who made the whole experience even more enjoyable.

If you're looking for a band that will keep everyone entertained, create an unforgettable atmosphere, and make your wedding reception one to remember, we couldn't recommend Lazy Marmalade highly enough. Thank you both for helping make our day so special!

The Mitchell’s- 20.06.2026

Where do I start!!! These pair are out of this world, from the moment they began playing at our drinks reception we knew they were going to be out of this world!

As two indie kids, in wedding planning we searched for a band that would meet ours and our guests taste and we fell right on it with these two!

When booking the package system helped us find what would be perfect and the inclusion on DJ too was really budget friendly.

John and Alex have been great with responding and made the whole process through planning super easy and accommodating.

Our day was a party from start to finish, with a live cover of our first dance included too making the day even more special.

Cannot recommend these 2 enough!

Lazy Marmalade were absolutely fantastic! We had them play throughout our entire wedding day, which just so happened to be the hottest day in June, and they were incredible from start to finish.
I first spotted them on TikTok a few years ago and knew they would be perfect for our wedding. They certainly didn’t disappoint. Alex and Jon sang me down the aisle, performed during our drinks reception, our first dance, and kept everyone entertained for the rest of the evening.
They were friendly, professional, and truly made our wedding day so special. We had so many compliments from our guests about how amazing they were.
I honestly can’t recommend these guys enough. If you’re looking for talented musicians who will make your wedding unforgettable, book Lazy Marmalade!

Katie and Ben’s wedding

One of the best decisions we made was to have Jon and Alex play at our wedding. From booking them- to the wedding day, they have both been a pleasure to work with. They have been approachable, responsive and generally lovely guys. The truly brought the energy and vibe we needed to our wedding. Our wedding guests still talk about them to this day. They even learnt two songs of our choice (apologies they weren’t easy ones!) but they did it with such ease and professionalism.
Would recommended Lazy Marmalade to anyone that is planning a wedding!

The best wedding band ever!

Lazy Marmalade are the best wedding band ever!! We are so glad we chose them to play for our evening reception. They did an amazing job of performing our first dance and keeping the vibes going all night long! The dance floor was packed thanks to them. All of our guests have commented how great the band were.

They were also super helpful throughout the booking process and leading up to our wedding.

We would 100% recommend booking Lazy Marmalade for your wedding. Thank you guys for such a great night!

Absolutely Incredible

We cannot recommend Alex and Jon from Lazy Marmalade highly enough! They played at our wedding last Sunday and were absolutely incredible from start to finish. They sang me down the aisle, performed us back up the aisle as newlyweds, entertained everyone during the drinks reception, and then played two fantastic live sets in the evening, every single moment was perfect.

Not only are they unbelievably talented musicians, but they are also genuinely lovely guys. Communication throughout the whole process was fantastic; they were friendly, professional, and made everything feel so easy and stress-free.
Our guests have not stopped talking about how amazing they were, and they truly helped make our wedding day so memorable and special. They brought such a brilliant atmosphere and were an absolute pleasure to have as part of our day.

A special mention to Jon, who even got a tattoo at our wedding, something we definitely won’t forget, and we hope it’s a day they’ll remember for a long time too!

Thank you both for making our wedding so unforgettable. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Lazy Marmalade to anyone looking for incredible live music and wonderful people to share their special day with.

The Pooler wedding at Hopton Court

I had the pleasure of meeting Alex and Jon at a wedding I had photographed, as it in the wedding industry it meant that I knew exactly who I wanted for my day. We booked our wedding in August 2025 and got married December 2025. With the quickest wedding turn around ever, I only hoped they would be free for our day.

From the very first message I was so glad they had our date free, after a few responses it was booked within a few hours. I knew we wanted something different to a dj, a bit more old school and something that brought a different vibe to the evening! They exceeded it all.

With it being a Christmas wedding I was so happy they were free and they really brought the party, the dance floor was never empty.

I have had endless messages asking for your details so we wish you all the best for the future and I hope I get to work with you both again!

Lots of love

Our wedding band

Could not recommend lazy marmalade anymore! They was the best I could have asked for and then more. Nothing was too much to ask for! Even the surprise song during the speeches for the bride! They really went above and beyond! Every guest was up dancing, people are still talking about them a month later! Would not consider any other band for an event going forward. Both very friendly and accommodating with so much patience for drunk guests! And that’s before we even speakkkkk about the vocals 😱 soooooo talented. Best part of the wedding! ❤️❤️❤️

Lovely People

We really enjoyed our experience with Lazy Marmalade. Jon was incredible with communicating with us, and we had a packet explaining everything we needed to know ahead of time. We chose the evening only package and they really made sure everyone had a good chance. My main piece of advice because it was our fault not theirs is to make sure that if you are serving evening food (we had pizza) it doesn't come in time with any live sets so nobody misses it, they are fantastic performers, and even then the dance floor was never empty. My bridesmaids especially adored the last set and Ive had people telling me for days that their feet are sore because they couldn't stop dancing. I would absolutely recommend them.

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.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to make your big decisions easier.
