Phenomenal from start to finish!

Where do we start?!
Phenomenal from start to finish. We booked lazy marmalade about 2 years ago and it was the best thing we did for our wedding. We booked the all day package and it ran incredibly smoothly. Communication before the day was brilliant, we were kept up to date with lots of things, they changed some timings to be accommodating to us and our venue. They arrived in plenty of time, set up and soundchecked before the ceremony, they played the ceremony and we could already tell it was going to be a great day!
Drinks reception was lovely and chilled, they sang a range of songs acoustically which fit our vibe well.
For the evening, we had a blast. They tailored the music choices to how the guests were feeling and it worked really well. The dancefloor was full and it was great that they played our first dance, and even learnt a song for us which was absolutely mint!
Alex and Jon played some Queen songs in the DJ sets and our nephews (9 and 6 years old) took to the floor and sang (with epic air guitar) for a solid 15 minutes. Alex and Jon kept playing queen songs for them and it was a truly beautiful moment that will live as a memory for years to come.
Thank you both!

Perfect band for a perfect day just book them !!

From the second we spoke to Jon and Alex we knew we were in good hands. Everything on our special day was made perfect by these absolute gentleman. The music was outstanding and enjoyed by ourselves and all our guests.( even people who do not normally dance could not resist the dance floor)
If you are looking for an extremely talented band look no further. If you can book them ( I’m sure they are really busy) I would you won’t regret it, we certainly didn’t it was the icing on the cake to a perfect day 😁

Best day ever!

What can I say about Lazy Marmalade aka the best wedding band ever! We couldn’t have booked a better band if we tried. Alex and Jon are super talented and two of the nicest guys we’ll ever meet.

They absolutely smashed our first dance song: it remains one of my favourite memories from the day. However, it’ll never be topped by Alex coming to find me to say my husband and best man were doing their own rendition of Angel by Shaggy for our wedding guests!


I’m already trying to convince my husband that we need to book the band to come to Guernsey for his 40th birthday!
Needless to say, if you need a wedding band and you’re undecided… book Lazy Marmalade. You won’t find better!

Amazing band!

We couldn’t have been happier with Lazy Marmalade as our wedding band! They were absolutely incredible from start to finish.
The acoustic afternoon set during our welcome drinks was perfect - relaxed, yet upbeat and created a lovely atmosphere.
The evening set was amazing! The dance floor was packed all night, and they kept the energy high with a great mix of songs that had something for everyone. As our DJs, they seamlessly transitioned from their live set and were also the best DJs!
So many of our guests commented on how much they loved Lazy Marmalade and we can’t recommend them enough!

Amazing energy

Firstly, I’m a wedding photographer. So I see countless bands and musical acts on a weekly so I feel very qualified to make this review.

LM are incredible. The most lovely, talented humans you’ll ever meet. They’re top of my recommended entertainment I provide to couples because I know I can count on them to provide professional chaos at every wedding! Don’t even think twice, book these guys and have the best day!

Absolutely incredible!

We had Lazy Marmalade perform for our wedding reception on 2nd November and they were absolutely amazing! They were amazing through the booking process, super quick at replying to all our questions and on the day they performed both the father daughter dance, and our first dance live for us - even personalising the first dance! They even re-performed one of my favourite songs when I missed it due to some impromptu photos! They had people on the dance floor all night long and everybody loved them. Cannot recommend these guys enough, absolutely amazing!

The Perfect Duo

We recently had Lazy Marmalade play the full day (and night) at our wedding and we are so glad we did!

Alex and Jon were great to communicate with (even almost two years before the big day when we booked them). Everything was super easy to sort out and we never felt stressed out by the process.

The guys were excellent and were happy to play all of the songs we requested (although we did just let them get on with it mostly because they definitely know what they’re doing)!

Come our wedding day we knew we were in safe hands and that made our day that little less stressful. Alex and Jon moved around the venue with no fuss and added so much to our day. We will never forget them singing Rebekah down the aisle - definitely made that moment even more emotional than what it already was.

We had so many positive comments from our guests which reinforced our own opinions. If you’re looking for a band that has it all then look no further than Lazy Marmalade.

Thanks so much!

Incredible!

Where do I begin!! Alex and Jon, from our very first contact right up until the final moment of our wedding, were just the BEST! So easy to deal with, super accommodating and helped to make our wedding just perfect. We felt so comfortable that we were in good hands - it was nice to not worry about it one bit! They performed our first dance live, and I still get goose bumps when I watch the video. They kept the energy high all throughout and we had so many guests comment on how great they were. I would not hesitate to HIGHLY recommend them to anyone. Top notch!!

Amazing !!!!!!!

Already just over a week on from our amazing wedding, that was made unbelievable by this amazing duo!
We knew we wanted these guys from the minute my husband found them on Tik tok ( yes it was THAT video haha!) - we even moved our original wedding date so we could make sure they were available !
We booked lazy marmalade to play our drinks reception and evening at lodore falls and they did not disappoint.
Lovely chilled out vibes and brilliantly performed drinks reception, followed by a perfectly performed first dance of Ed Sheeran’s Tenerife sea, we think it might have been better than Ed’s! Then packed dance floor all night when the night kicked off! These guys are fantastic! They get everybody of all ages into their dancing shoes.
We could not fault one thing about Alex and Jon from their performances, their talent and how they compliment each other perfectly!
They aren't just a brilliant wedding band but also brilliant people too, they were so easy and very organised through enquiries and booking aswell as keeping in touch the entire way up to the wedding day.
Everybody who attended our wedding has mentioned just how good they were to us and we have zero regrets booking these two!
If you've been looking at them and wondering for your big day or special occasion, don't think about it, just do it! You will not be disappointed! There is a reason the guys have so many flawless reviews and we can now personally vouch for them too!
We loved them so much there's even been talk of booking them when it's one of our next big birthdays already!
We can't thank the guys enough, we just wish we could write a review that did them complete justice for just how amazing they were!

Thank you for making our day incredible!

Absolutely brilliant!

From the moment we booked Alex & Jon they were extremely professional & friendly.

Nothing was too much trouble for them with our queries being answered very quickly each time I contacted them.

On our wedding day we had loads of comments from our guests saying how good they were.

I would 100% recommend them!

The best in the industry!

We booked Lazy Marmalade after seeing them on Instagram, they are local to ourselves so we have the pleasure of knowing they had performed at some of our associates’ weddings and everyone we spoke to couldn’t recommend them enough. Despite their name both Jon and Alex certainly aren’t Lazy, from the initial enquiry until they packed up on the evening of our wedding, and thereafter. They took full control of all our entertainment for our wedding and absolutely smashed it. Jon was very reassuring throughout, when I had loads of questions, he offered very good advice, we would communicate via WhatsApp and despite how busy they are he’d always get back to me straight away. On the day, they both took full control of our entertainment and were very fluid with it, liaising with our venue throughout. My Wife and I were simply just enjoying our wedding day with our guests, as we should, with Jon and Alex organising everything around us. They’d approach us and ask what we wanted and then made it happen with things such as timings for the first dance and cutting the cake which we did have scheduled in for a certain time but as everyone was too busy enjoying themselves time seemed to slip away. Despite all of this, they also offered probably the best wedding entertainment you could ask for, with sets scheduled throughout the day that filled our quite large dance floor, to playing recorded music in between those sets that kept everyone on the dance floor! (I don’t think there was anyone out of our 120 guests that did not dance, even the people that claimed “I DON’T DANCE” found themselves in the middle of the dance floor). Both are clearly very talented in providing the wedding industry the full package when it comes to their profession! They learnt our first dance song and it couldn’t have been better. We even woke up to a surprise the next day when I received a video from their stage recording our first dance, a very nice touch! We were also very surprised that when I sent them a list of songs that had meaning to ourselves, assuming they would play the recorded version in between their live sets but they performed a lot of those songs live too!! Their Instagram Bio states, “Professional party starters/ World Class Dance Floor Fillers/ Thoroughly Nice Fellas” and I could not agree with that more! If you are reading this because you need entertainment, don’t hesitate, don’t sit and think about it, enquire with them and book them as you will not find a better band! There is only one negative and that is that I enjoyed their entertainment so much, I missed the evening buffet as I refused to leave the dance floor!

Memorable, incredible, iconic - need I say more?

Lazy Marmalade are absolutely outstanding! They are flexible on the day with no request being too great. They deliver banger after banger and know exactly how to fill a dancefloor. I booked them after seeing their tiktok and although they sound fantastic on socials, it is in the flesh that these two shine. Our very windy wedding day did not put these two off an outdoor drinks reception where they got the vibes going, this was then brought to the dancefloor where guests danced, smiled and got low for hour upon hour. It was honestly Lazy Marmalade who made our day so memorable and I cannot recommend them enough. If you are after stellar musicians who can read a room perfectly then these are your guys, I can't thank them enough.

Just brilliant !

Where to even start …

Both Alex and Jon were amazing from the moment I first contacted them to them leaving after providing us with the most incredible and memorable wedding day music! As a bride organising your wedding, you want your suppliers to be on the ball and attentive, which is exactly what Lazy Marmalade are.

They both made our day so perfect from start to finish, they are incredibly talented, from learning our first dance song to providing our guests with amazing music all day.

I cannot recommend them enough !!

Thanks guys, you were such a huge part of our day and it wouldn’t have been as perfect if we hadn’t of booked you !

Book them!

Mr & Mrs Griffith here! We would love to say a massive thank you to Alex & Jon for our amazing playlist on our wedding day. Thank you also for traveling up to Wyresdale Park in Scorton! It’s not round the corner from yourselves so we appreciate you saying yes and traveling up.

We appreciate you learning our first dance, Blink 182 - First Date. Not your typical wedding song but they learnt it the way we wanted it played which was slow and wedding like.

We had Lazy Marmalade booked from after our ceremony, so they opened our drinks reception for us!

They both played a bit of music for all age groups but we’re happy to take requests. They played everything we asked for when filling in their forms.

Would definitely, highly, 100% recommend Lazy Marmalade to anyone looking for their perfect band for their perfect big day.

Can’t wait to see you guys in November and will see you in the future around Telford.

Rachel & Steven Griffith!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to make your big decisions easier.
