Bloody Amazing.

We couldn’t have been happier with the Snap Chaps at our wedding! They created the perfect atmosphere. Their setlist was a great mix of classics and current hits, and they really knew how to read the crowd to keep the energy going.
Beyond their musical talent, they were a pleasure to work with—professional, organized, and clearly passionate about what they do. Many of our guests told us how much they enjoyed the live music, and we have to agree. The Snap Chaps made our wedding even more special, and we would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a great wedding band 🩷

Amazing, incredible, talented - 10/10!

The band were incredible; I struggle to find any other description for them. We weren't allowed amplified music during our reception and I worried about how we would entertain our guests during this period.... then I found these guys.

From start to finish, they were a dream. All of the guys were so polite, professional and engaging. Our venue loved them, our guests loved them and so did we. They absolutely made our wedding - seeing them as we came into our reception really set the mood and tone for everyone.

The band strolled around the grounds mixing with everyone and ensuring there was something for all. They even did a couple of special requests - probably because the rugby lot wouldn't let them leave otherwise!

We have sung, and will continue to sing, their praises, recommend them to everyone and wouldn't hesitate to hire them again.

I wish them HUGE success. Thank you to the band for being AMAZING!

Incredible band - highly recommend!

Kyle and the snapchaps performed for us on our wedding day on 26th July 2024. They were nothing short of incredible. Kyle sang me and my bridal party down the aisle and a few songs during the ceremony. He was amazing and set the tone for the wedding/rest of the day. The snapchaps performed during our drinks reception. I can’t fully put into words how amazing they are - and are one of the best decisions we made with our wedding suppliers. 2 weeks later and we are still getting daily compliments about them. All ages at the wedding absolutely loved them and all guests loved how interactive they were. Without a doubt we highly recommend both Kyle and the snapchaps for weddings and any occasion!

The Perfect Band to Create the Best Atmosphere!

Kyle and the rest of the Snap Chaps crew are awesome! We saw them at a wedding fair and knew straight away that we wanted to have them be a part of our wedding. Their energy as a strolling band is infectious and they single handedly got the party going for everyone. While they weren’t pushy, they did suggest how they could best be utilised and this worked a treat; immediately after the final word of the final speech, they burst into the room and people were up out of their chairs and dancing within 30 seconds! They then proceeded to perform two fantastic sets, whilst interacting with all of our guests (and took a special request not to play a particular song!). They were a pleasure to deal with throughout, and provided amazing entertainment on the day. We would recommend them without hesitation.

Best decision we made!

The Snap Chaps are a truly fun and energetic band of musicians. On the day of our wedding they performed spectacular. Our guests RAVED about them. They have a vast catalogue of hits to appeal to everyone and a unique style that just works. They are super professional and worked the crowd amazingly taking requests and allowing the guests to join in. The decision to hire them for our wedding was one of the best we made for the day. We 100% recommend you hire them for your event. You will not be disappointed.

Fantastic - the band really made our welcome and drinks reception perfect.

We just wanted to say thank you again for playing and being a part of our wedding day. We had SO many compliments on how great and interactive you were as a band during the arrivals and drinks reception, and for you Kyle singing during the ceremony as an add on really made it perfect. The moment we heard you all play at an open day immediately made us smile and we knew we needed to book you for our special day!

We feel like we missed a lot of enjoying your music as we were whisked away for photos, or people coming up to us, so we’re very much looking forward to seeing our videographer footage to capture you playing for our guests!

Thank you again,
Emma and Dan

Great band!

We did a big brunch the next day and The Snap Chaps were excellent! Everyone raved about them and it was the perfect amount of background music but also engaging entertainment! A hard combo to get right. The communication was also excellent throughout the process.

A fantastic addition to any event!

The Snap Chaps are great. They were very easy to communicate with and accommodating of our requests - even learning a new song for our first dance. All the guests raved about them and they injected fun and entertainment throughout their 2 hour set (which they split into 3 for us). Would highly recommend.
