Best band in pembrokeshire

Nicki makes her set list to your wedding vibe and your likes. We have her a song for our 1st dance she had not done before and I can honestly say she made it her own and smashed it!

Id definitely use these for my next wedding (joking😝). Any future events I have i will without a doubt be booking them.

Thanks SoundAWAKE for helping make our wedding evening the best night of my life!

Amazing band! Thank you use much!

To Nicki & soundawake,
Where do we start? You were absolutely amazing from the moment we got in touch up until the very last minute. We scoured the internet searching for bands and we are so glad we found you! We wanted to book a really good band that would take care of the whole night music wise. Your dj package was perfect between the bands breaks and you let us choose our favourite songs which made it more personal for us. The band were just incredible! We have honestly never seen that many people dancing all night, the atmosphere was electric and you just made the night for us. We cannot wait to have another excuse to book you again. Thank you for being so amazing! All our love Ryan & Amy Webb

Fabulous Band! We danced ALL night!

We are so glad we chose Soundawake for our wedding! Nicki was just a star to deal with and our request for our first dance was so wonderfully accomplished!
The bands two sets had folks up and dancing from the off and such great musicianship matched Nicki’s vocals!
We had wonderful comments regarding the band after our wedding from our guests and I wouldn’t hesitate to do it all over again!!!

Amazing performance!

What a band! SoundsAwake's performance was fantastic. Nothing was too much trouble for Nicci and the guys from start to finish and they were so accomodating about our numerous requests. The dance floor was full all night, we have had so many compliments about the quality of the performance. I only wish we could do it all over again!
