Exceeded all expectations - best night of our lives!

Function republic exceeding all our expectations of a wedding band, they are absolutely incredible and we are so happy we found them! Our dance floor was full all night long, our guests have not stopped going on about the music and no one was ready to leave the dance floor we when it came to the last song! We added the wireless saxophone to play in-between the band sets and so glad we paid a bit extra for that package - it was a massive hit and we had so much fun! The vocals are also beautiful, our first dance song was sang by Claire and she nailed it - that memory will always be so special to us. Thank you so so much for best night of our lives!

Everyone on the dance floor

These guys will get everyone on the dance floor. Josh and the team were super easy to deal with right up to the wedding and were free to talk when needed.
At our wedding they were great, I think the band is one of the most important bits at a wedding and they smashed it!
Everyone was saying the next day how great the band were from vocals, sax, guitarist all of it was great.
They managed to get our very mixed age group wedding all of the dance floor!

Function Republic were absolutely incredible from start to finish! We have received so many compliments about the atmosphere the band created for the entire evening! We upgraded with the Ibiza DJ sax and I’m so glad we did as it kept everyone on the dance floor until the final song. Can’t recommend them enough, sensational!!

Great wedding band!

Function Republic just played our wedding and were amazing! Josh was so easy to deal with and accommodated all of our music requests!
My friend sang our first dance song with them and I (the bride) even went up for a solo on the microphone and the band made it so easy! Chloe had an incredible voice and was so fun. Would highly recommend booking them!

WOW! Function republic and DJ Josh certainly know how to bring the partayyyy! Our guests were chanting DJ JOSH! Non stop as they did not want the epic tunes to end at our wedding. Josh, we cannot thank you enough for being a part of our special day - you were utterly awesome! Communication from start to finish was also brilliant!

The perfect wedding band!

The band were amazing. The owners put us at ease straight away and we knew we were in safe hands in the run up to the wedding. It was easy to select the songs for the sets and Joshua was super helpful at editing the first dance song for us. Our guests loved the band and the sax got everyone partying. We had the best 4 hours and couldn’t have asked for a better band.

Fantastic experience with these guys

Absolutely fantastic - great set, and a pleasure to work with as there were some tricky logistics on timing and setting up. Amazing energy and brought such a good vibe to the evening.

Best band ever!

WOW WOW WOW! No amount of words will be enough to express how incredible this band is! Every member of the band is extremely talented and they set the tone for the whole evening. We booked the roaming band during our wedding breakfast and it really created the best party vibe! We had it in between courses to keep the energy high and guests were dancing all throughout! So many guests complimented how much fun it was! The energy never dropped, BEST BAND EVER
Great value for money!

The best for our wedding!

We had Function Republic at our wedding and couldn't recommend them more. From the start Joshua was so friendly and responsive and the service is reasonably priced for what you get. The whole process was smooth and stress free. The dancefloor was so much fun - we had DJ and Sax and it was such a vibe. Many thanks!

Book them for your wedding!

We hired Function Republic as a DJ (with percussion) for our wedding reception and they were absolutely fantastic. Great songs and set-up - everyone had such a good time. They were super flexible and helpful when organising the logistics for the day, including our fairly last minute request for to hire a mic and speaker. We were also pleased that we had some input into the genres and were able to provide some 'must plays'. Overall, we'd highly recommend booking Function Republic - we had an incredible evening! Thank you once again for making it so special for us.

Fabulous band!

We knew from the beginning that having a live band would be an important part of our day, to help bring the mood and set the vibe for the evening’s entertainment! Josh and the Function Republic team certainly did that. With an incredibly repertoire and set list, they were the perfect choice for our guests – from September, to Freed from desire, the dance floor was full! They were incredibly professional, coordinated incredibly well with our venue, and we didn’t have to worry about a thing. If you’re looking for a band to bring high energy and entertainment to the dance floor, then we’d recommend Function Republic!

Simply the best

We had Function republic for our wedding in May. WOW!! What a band. They are just amazing. From the day I booked them, Josh & Claire was so helpful & professional. I love the fact that Josh was very easy going and let us choose our own song list for the dj. We was able to mix the band set up too. Nothing was too much trouble.
The band was fantastic. I am still having people saying how good they were. My only regret was not having them for the whole day!! Every single person in the band is amazing! I highly recommend. Thank you all so much for making our wedding. Everyone had a brilliant time. If you are thinking of booking the band, do it!!! You will not regret it. They simply are the best. We want to do it all again. When we have another party without doubt I would book Function Republic 🎸🎶🎤

Faultless - you should definitely book them!

The band were absolutely incredible. Lily perfectly performed our first dance, which made for a really special moment. The band brought the energy and got everyone moving and grooving all night long. Our friends and family couldn’t stop raving about how great the band were. We loved that we were able to switch out a couple of songs from the setlist to tailor to us and add some of our favourites. The playlist between sets and until the end of the night had all the classics and kept the dancefloor busy. Josh and the team were personable and easy to get on with. The communication before the wedding was easy and Josh was on hand to answer any questions. Would 100% recommend to anyone getting married.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to make your big decisions easier.
