BOWREED REVIEWS

We booked the Bowreed for our Wedding at the Lost Village of Dode and it was a magical experience. Fred was really helpful and responsive with the booking and arrangements before the big day and Chris and the band were brill on the day, setting up and playing in the tight but amazing space! The calling, playing, song choices and dances were spot on and perfectly tailored to our guests. We had so many compliments afterwards about how amazing the band were and how much fun the Cèilidh was - it really made our wedding complete. Thanks so much!.

We had Bowreed for our wedding ceilidh and they were amazing, all our our guests loved the ceilidh. It was easy to contact the band leader in the run up to the wedding and he was very helpful with answering our questions and responding to our requests for particular dances. We would definitely hire them again if needed for another event and would recommend to friends.

Georgia and the Bowreed band played at our wedding in Somerset and WOW were they amazing. They had ALL our guests up on the dance floor we almost ran out of space, and Georgia’s energy was contagious. She knew exactly which routines to do when, and was brilliant at giving us instructions and guiding us through the dances. The band played anmazingly and our venue was filled with dancing and laughter - we will remember it for the rest of our lives! We were really pleased that we also booked Georgia’s DJ set for after the ceilidh as she kept the party going until midnight. We sent her a playlist beforehand and she used this to decide which songs would get our guests dancing until the early hours. All our guests were singing at the top of their lungs and dancing their hearts out. It was really amazing. If you’re thinking of booking Bowreed, think no more - do it!.

COTSWOLD WEDDING GUITARIST REVIEWS

Matt was the perfect addition to our wedding day at Birtsmorton! He played music during our cocktail hour and also did our first dance. He was super responsive on email and happy to video call in the run up. Our guests were raving about him and it was great seeing everyone dancing away to their requests as part of his juke box guitar set up. His flexibility on the day was amazing as we did get some rain but Matt was very efficient in setting up inside last minute ready to go again! We’d highly recommend Matt as he provided a great atmosphere for the day and definitely had everyone hyped up ready for the evening!.

Matt played at our wedding ceremony and drinks reception a couple of weeks ago and he was absolutely amazing! Communication with Matt was super simple and clear from the beginning and he was a great presence on the day. He performed our song requests so amazingly and brought such great vibes to our drinks reception. So many of our guests have complimented how amazing he was. Couldn’t recommend more and wish we had booked him to perform for longer on the day!.

Matt played for our cocktail hour at our wedding in August. He is a fantastic musician. He got everybody dancing and singing and in the mood for our evening party! Guests also loved being able to pick their own songs for the Jukebox Guitar. Thank you Matt!.

FUNK CITY BAND REVIEWS

We wanted to say a huge thank you to you and the band for making the evening so amazing! You guys absolutely rocked! It was incredible to have the band complete our wonderful day with the most fantastic party. The music, and atmosphere created memories that will truly last a lifetime. Our guests are still raving about you guys! Thank you x.

We wanted to say a huge thank you to Craig and Funk City Band for putting on such an incredible show for our wedding! We had so much fun, our family and friends had such a blast. The dance floor was full the whole night thanks to you guys! Thank you also for suggesting such good dance songs. Incredible!!.

The best wedding band- I honestly cannot recommend them enough. Craig was amazing to work with, great communication. The band know exactly how to get your guests on the dance floor and have them dancing all night. Craig also supported us with our special request to sing our first song together rather than doing a first dance. It created such a moment and we are so grateful for them the singing is on point and honestly they are so much fun. We had them at Bury Court Barn in Farnham thank you so much Funk Cuty for being the perfect choice for our wedding !.
