The only Wedding band you'll need!

These guys were absolutely awesome! James is super helpful and very easy to get hold of, great professional service throughout. Our wedding in August was an absolute scorcher but they still had everyone partying on the dancefloor. The even humoured the Groom rocking out with them on the mic ! Fantastic variety of songs and styles . Book them and you will be absolutely delighted that you did.

Amazing performers!

We hired the Spectrum to play our wedding in September and they were absolutely fantastic. They’re all brilliant musicians and performers, and had the dancefloor rocking throughout their entire set, bringing so much fun and energy to the place.

They even went out of their way to learn our first dance song so that they could play it for us live, and it really made the moment feel even more special.

James was a pleasure to work with - friendly, professional, and accommodating, and when our wedding breakfast overran slightly he ensured that the band adapted with no dramas whatsoever, so that the evening still ran seamlessly.

These guys are superstars and we can’t thank them enough for the part they played in making our day so special. Highly recommended!

What a band! 🥰

We honestly cannot thank you guys enough! Our guests loved you and you catered for all the generations plus our friends and family from New Zealand.

We had a few aching muscles amongst the guests days after as they recovered from dancing the night away.

If you are looking for a band look no further! These guys will look after you every step of the way and make it special for you!

Thank you once again!

Out of this world

These guys are great! Can’t recommend them enough.

They are well organised and consulted us on the types of music to play, packages and timings that work well. They even learnt our first dance song especially for us and it sounded great and better than we ever expected.

These guys got the crowd going and captured them all night long and even did a special song at the end of the night to really finish our special day off.

If you book these guys you won’t be disappointed, top class!

Perfect! 🤘🏻😍🎶

The Spectrum were amazing throughout the whole process! Planning was easy and straight forward with flexibility in packages to suit whatever you want. On the wedding evening we had so many compliments about the music. The sets were based around our taste in music and had such a personal touch - including our first dance played live 🥰🤘🏻 so glad we chose The Spectrum! - Mr & Mrs Rae

Absolutely fantastic!

The Spectrum preformed at our wedding on Friday 26th July 2024 and we can’t thank them enough for making our evening one to remember. We felt involved, supported and listened to throughout the whole planning process and nothing was too much trouble. The band even helped with a special request which involved piecing together our father & daughter dance which was epic! They also tailored their songs to our specific requests, ensuring that they played some of our all time favourites. If you are looking to dance the night away and party hard, then they’re definitely the band for you!

A night to remember!

The Spectrum Band were incredible! They provided an evening filled with fun, dancing, and singing.

James was great from the outset, calling us to chat through our day and hopes for the evening. They had such an extensive set list and even learnt our first dance song for us! (which was perfect)
Us and our guests had a brilliant time. The sets were outstanding, and the addition of a DJ between sets kept the energy high and the dancing going.

So many guests commented after on how brilliant the band was and how much they enjoyed the night. Including our bonus "kids disco" at the very start of the evening before our mini guests crashed out.

Our only wish is that the night could have lasted longer! We would absolutely recommend The Spectrum for any wedding or music event and just hope we have an excuse to have them again in the future. (Duddon Mill, Tarvin | July 2024)

Absolutely brilliant

Wow!!!! James and his band mates were totally and utterly amazing from start to finish. James was brilliant always there to answer a questions and filled us with such excitement from the off and made us feel like we were in such good hands. They took away the stress and were so easy to deal with. They did not disappoint. They had everyone up and dancing. The atmosphere as electric. Totally and utterly buzzing. So many people have been asking how we found them. Honestly can’t rate James and the band highly enough nor can we thank them enough for really getting our wedding up and going. Their Dj too was also brilliant and read the crowd really well and kept everyone up dancing between sets.

Simpson wedding 8th June

We had seen the Spectrum twice before at friends’ weddings and we knew we had to book them for our big day! They certainly didn’t disappoint! They adapt their set list for the audience and guests I would have never expected to be up on the dance floor were! So many of our guests commented on how good the band were and have asked for contact details for future events ! We definitely hope to see you again soon! Thank you El and Rob xx

We danced all night

If you want a band that are able to keep everyone dancing from the young to the old then these guys are the best. The dance floor was full all night and we had the best time. They were super easy to work with and even learnt our first dance.

I dont think there are enough good words i could day about these guys!! They are absolutely incredible and guaranteed to make your event pop off! We could not have been happier with their set at our wedding they even went the extra mile by learning songs not on their usual set lists. If you want a truly personal music experience you have to book The Spectrum! Thank you again guys for being absolutely unreal!!
