Absolutely brilliant
The New Retros played at our wedding last month and they were fantastic from start to finish. Really easy to book, great communication, friendly and professional. We didn't ask them to play from a set list, we just chatted about the kind of music we liked and they read the room really well.
On the day, they came on time and were really friendly and polite. They played so well, everyone had such a good time. Loads of people came up to us to say how good the band were.
Definitely recommend to anyone looking to book a wedding band! They are very talented with great energy and made us feel really at ease.

The New Retros made our wedding unforgettable!
The New Retros were one of the best parts of our wedding day! The dance floor was packed and nobody wanted it to end. Pete and the rest of the band were so professional and so fun, they really brought something special to our wedding. We had been worried as our first dance was a bit different, but they did an incredible job of it. Niran, the bandleader, is brilliant, even from the first email, you can tell he wants your day to be perfect. 10/10 would recommend

A Maid of Honour’s dream!
For a first time being maid of honour to the most beautiful bride, the New Retros were like a dream come true. They took all the stress away and above all else delivered on their special day better than I could even imagine. Their first energy was contagious and had everyone up dancing the whole night away. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!!!

Fantastic Start to Finish
We had a really fantastic experience with The New Retros. From day one they were communicative and accommodating of our plans, from sending an excellent set list to choose our favourite songs to arriving earlier on the day which allowed us to use their microphones and speaker system for our speeches. All our guests were full of praise for the band, and they helped make it such a fantastic day!
