Excellent band!

The Moonrunners kept the dancefloor rocking with their 2 sets. A brilliant mix of rock/indie tracks. So many compliments from my party guests on how great they were. The band are so friendly and professional too. Highly recommend and I would definitely book the band again!

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.

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!

Incredible talent

The Moonrunners made our wedding reception truly unforgettable. They are professional, friendly and a pleasure to work with. Every guest was on the dance floor from beginning to end- even our photo booth supplier said they were the best wedding band they’ve seen. So grateful to have had them on the night, can’t recommend them enough!

Highly recommended band

We booked Moonrunners for our wedding after months of searching for versatile band that could cover a good array of music genres. They got all of our guests up dancing from the first song and kept us all dancing all night. Cant rate this talented band highly enough for your perfect wedding band as they provide DJ music and MC services as well as providing their own lighting, thanks guys you were amazing!

Would 100% recommend

So glad that we found Brightside, having been badly let down by our original band. Their agents, Tailored Entertainment looked after us from first contacting them to the day before the wedding, guiding us each step of the way and always keeping us informed. We had never met or heard the band live but loved their website videos and they certainly didn't disappoint. They may not have stuck entirely to our play list but they read our 'slightly older' audience like a book and the dance floor was never empty, with so many compliments afterwards. They were a pleasure to work with and we would 100% recommend Brightside/Moonrunners. Thank you all, Nick & Jane

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!

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! 💖

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 ❤️

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!!!

An extremely professional and talented band. Very responsive.
We were let down by a previous band last minute and Rob and the team really saved the day! Multiple comments from our wedding guests praising how good they were. Thank you again!
