The best wedding band!!

The Moonrunners were absolutely incredible and one of the best decisions we made for our wedding! We first heard them at a wedding fayre in Portsmouth where their cover of Baby I’m Yours by Arctic Monkeys completely won us over—we just knew they were the band for us.

Their set was exactly what we were after: a brilliant mix of indie anthems like The Killers and Kings of Leon, blended seamlessly with old-school classics and some modern hits. They read the room perfectly and kept the dance floor packed all night.

What really set them apart was their willingness to go the extra mile—they learned two new songs just for us for the first dance and the father-daughter dance, and performed them beautifully. We’ve got amazing videos of both that we’ll treasure forever.

We had so many compliments from our guests about how great the band was. If you’re looking for a wedding band that sounds incredible, brings amazing energy, and truly cares about making your day special, we couldn’t recommend The Moonrunners more!

Great wedding band with loads of energy!

The Moonrunners were incredible and made our wedding the best day. With an acoustic set during our canapés/cocktail hour and then upbeat, high energy evening sets, the band brought the whole day together. We cannot thank the band enough for the atmosphere they created and maintained throughout the day and evening. The Moonrunners learned our first dance song and absolutely nailed playing it. It was exactly what we had hoped for. The guys were so flexible around involving as many our our preferred songs as possible whilist keeping the dancefloor full. The set list the guys created for us was perfect. Everyone absolutely loved the band and I will be recommending these guys to everyone looking for a band for their wedding. They played a huge role, making our wedding what it was, and I couldn't have been happier.

Fab wedding band!

We couldn’t be happier to have chosen the Moonrunners as our wedding band - they did an acoustic set during our drinks reception which set the atmosphere perfectly, as well as our evening music. We chose to have a smaller wedding so weren’t sure how much of an atmosphere we could create, but the guys did amazingly and we didn’t see the dancefloor empty all night! They also learned our first dance which was fab too. Rob was great beforehand at getting everything prepped and ready to go, it was super easy! Would recommend 100%!

The Moomrunners made our day!

The Moonrunners played our wedding at The Barn at Botley Hill, they were completely brilliant throughout the day! An acoustic
set at the drink’s reception was
soo lovely and created the most
amazing atmosphere. Our first dance was perfect and the band has everyone on the dance floor for the rest of the night! A personlised
rendition of Stacey’s mum to the mother of the bride was a genius touch! Might have to plan an anniversary part just to
get them back! thank you soooo much for making our day truly epic

Fantastic ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

We booked Rewind for our wedding in September ‘24 and can THOROUGHLY recommend! We were extremely impressed with them from start to finish; punctual, professional, flexible and most importantly the dance floor was LIT!! We absolutely loved it; tune after tune, it was everything we could’ve hoped for and more. I’ve already had guests ask for your details, I hope you get some work from it! Booking a wedding band can feel like such a leap of faith but, book Rewind and you won’t regret it! Thank you for the best time!

Fantastic!

❤️ Cannot recommend this band enough! ❤️
We booked the Moonrunners for the evening entertainment for our wedding and we had the best time!
We had seen them live previously but they still surpassed expectations and us and all of our guests have been raving about them since. A fabulous selection of music brilliantly played, including learning our first dance song. Our dance floor was full all evening.
Really easy to deal with, no stresses at all ❤️

The dance floor didn’t stop!

The Moonrunners are the band that ensure the dance floor doesn’t stop! We asked them to play two particular songs one for our first dance and one for the daddy daughter dance and they were great and performed them so well! They also when having their breaks from sets will play your personalised playlist so you can personalise to your taste even more! The wedding wouldn’t have been the same without them!

Thank you! 💖

Book this band!

What a band! The guys were so nice and helpful when organising, very quick to reply and took time out to chat everything through. We also loved that they learnt our first dance and played it SOOO well. So many people commented on how good they were and everyone was very happy they were the evening music after having listened to their acoustic set in the day. Cannot fault them. Thank you so much guys!!!

It doesn't get any better than these guys!

Wow!
If you want a band to keep the dance floor busy, these are your guys.
We were super excited to have the Moonrunners at our wedding. We had previously seen them twice at pub gigs so though we knew what to expect but they absolutely over delivered on the night.
We particularly liked that it felt like the guys themselves were actually part of the day, like guests even!
Rob was amazing to deal with in the run up to the day at the last minute we even threw into the mix that we going to have a DJ as well so they would have to work together which they took completely in their stride.
On the day, it was as if they appeared like magic all set up and ready to go with no fuss at all. The guests loved them and have since been asking who they were incase they need a band in the future as well.

I very much hope to see the Moonrunners again the near future.

Thank you very much.

The Moonrunners brought the energy and got the crowd going!

We booked The Moonrunners for our wedding in July - they were absolutely fantastic.

We wanted a band because the most memorable wedding receptions we've experienced have always had a band. They bring an energy and atmosphere that just doesn't compare to a DJ. Picking a band is difficult but having seen The Moonrunners' have videos on their website and on YouTube, we felt really confident that they would bring the vibe we were looking for for our wedding.

Over three sets, they built up the energy and the whole wedding contingent was partying on the dance floor to then end and didn't want them to stop.

Thank you so much for making our special day so amazing.

21st of June 2024 - Norton Park

The Moonrunners were amazing! We had a lot of fun with them at our wedding and a lot of guests let us know they really enjoyed them!
Crowd interaction wise, they were even better than we could have expected, for a few songs friends of ours who can sing (not planned) participated and the band let them join in.
Additionally, they did amazingly with the special songs we wanted for the first dance and later a great rendition of Dragostea din Tei (Numa Numa song)!

All in all, couldn't recommend these guys enough, they won't disappoint!
Thank you again for making our day that much more special!
