Just WOW!!

The (now) husband and I had the pleasure of first seeing Andrew perform at my sister’s wedding five years ago and we absolutely loved him, so we were delighted that we were able to book him to play at our own Wedding. He did not disappoint! He exceeded expectations (which were already pretty high having already seen him previously) and his musical talents speak for themselves. We received so many compliments about his performance that I'm sure we'll see him at friends' weddings in the future!

Andrew’s sunny disposition and quick humour made him an instant hit with guests before he had even started his set, and he blended in perfectly to the surroundings, with his music entertaining everyone there. Luckily we had a beautiful sunny day, so Andrew could set up outside and perform for everyone in the grounds of our venue, to the delight of passers-by who also sang nothing but his praises to us as well. We opted for the Full Day Package from 24 Live and the additional Cajon Drummer for the evening reception, and that was also a massive hit! What a party!

In the build up to the wedding, on the day and even after the wedding, Andrew has been incredibly thorough, accommodating and just an absolute dream to deal with. He is so, so friendly and personable, and he goes above and beyond to ensure that the experience he gives you is the perfect one. Nothing was ever too much trouble, and he made us feel completely at ease, he is a true professional. He leaves no stone unturned and his attention to detail is flawless.

Andrew really is a class act and an absolute gentleman, not to mention all kinds of talented. He made our day really special and our Wedding wouldn’t have been the success it was without him there. We cannot recommend him highly enough. We can’t wait to see him perform again in the future! Thank you so much for everything Andrew. 😊

All the very best,

What a party!

I'm lucky to have known Andrew and Chris for many years, so there was no doubt in my mind when it came to choosing our wedding performers, who we would go for! We are so lucky and grateful to have had them perform on the most special day of our lives - they were incredible!!
Not only was Andrew attentive and professional during the event but in the lead up he kept in touch, which was really helpful and appreciated. We chose to have them play intermittently during the DJ set on the evening do, which worked really well as it added a bit of energy and fun in between the DJ's music. Andrew kindly learnt a few songs especially for us which we really appreciated! Guests absolutely loved their style and vibe - we've had so many positive comments about them and others wanting to book them! Even my Niece got onto the dance floor inside a cardboard Igloo which I think has to be a first as far as dance floor outfits go HA!
Thank you so much guys, for adding that special touch to our wedding day - you are part of memories that will last us a lifetime. There's a reason why these guys are award winners - if you are wondering whether to book 24 Live - JUST DO IT!
Thank you so much guys!!!

Absolute top class! ✨️👌🏼

These boys were an absolute dream to work with! Upon hearing countless reviews and reccomendations, we booked 24Live for our Wedding reception. True to form, they did not disappoint. Beyond their talents and amazing artistry, these two are also genuinely two of the nicest people you'll ever meet. Andrew was with us every step of the way through the planning process and was so friendly, approachable and responsive throughout, ensuring that every little detail was accounted for and always reassuring us. They even arranged for me as the Bride to get up on stage to sing a couple of songs as a surprise for my now husband and they could not have been more accommodating of this. Our guests absolutely loved the music and were so complimentary all night! We would have absolutely no hesitation recommending these two and we are so happy we put our trust in them - they absolutely delivered and 100% brought the party! We will be forever grateful to 24Live, thank you from the bottom of our now, very full hearts. The Royles x

Excellent!

From the minute I saw a clip of Andrew singing on Instagram, I knew we needed him for our wedding. He was so kind and responded to emails really quickly, and sent us the different package options he had available along with his prices which we thought were extremely reasonable considering how talented he is! Once we had booked him for the Ceremony, Drinks Reception and Wedding Breakfast, Andrew kept in regular contact with us, always checking in and seeing if we had any questions, and he responded to emails quickly. Our phone call a month before the wedding really put us at ease and we are so pleased with the music we chose. The music choices on offer are varied and there is really something for everyone.
The wedding day itself was everything we could have dreamed of. Andrew was polite and friendly to everyone and even played one last song once he had finished when all our guests demanded it after the wedding breakfast! We got so many comments from our guests on how brilliant he was and we have to agree! I would recommend to anyone and everyone. Truly one of our favourite parts of our day, thank you Andrew!

Leah & Jamie- 9.8.24

We were absolutely blown away by Andrew & Chris' incredible performance for our wedding. We booked Andrew to perform for our wedding breakfast and Chris joined for our evening reception. The duo kept all of our wedding party entertained from start to finish. So many of our guests commented on how amazing the duo were!

Not only is Andrew a talented vocalist, but he was also incredibly professional and easy to work with. He was attentive to our requests, accommodating our musical preferences, and ensuring that everything ran smoothly on the day.
We would highly recommend Andrew to anyone looking for an exceptional acoustic singer for their wedding. His talent, professionalism, and dedication to creating a memorable experience made our special day even more magical.

We cannot thank you enough!

Love these guys

From the off Andrew was so easy to talk to, his communication was great. I wish I got to see/hear more of them during my day but I was too busy floating around everywhere. All my guests have commented on how great they were.
Can the next person to book them invite me to their wedding so I can hear them again?! Haha!
I had Andrew sing from the start of my guests being seated all the way into the evening. I would 100% recommend them to anyone who is looking for someone to entertain their guests with some great singing

Absolutely incredible from start to finish

Where do I even begin with these guys. From the get go, Andrew was absolutely amazing. Professional, easy going, super friendly and fun to chat with. It honestly felt like having two extra friends/guests at the wedding than hiring a supplier. I had huge confidence in them from just chatting with them and watching their videos, but once we saw 24 live play at a pub in Yorkshire, we knew we had absolutely nothing to worry about! They curated the best vibe possible from the off, all our guests were saying how great they were, how much they loved them and asking where we found them! You guys absolutely made our wedding day! And I would recommend you both to absolutely anyone. The dance floor was packed all night. Hoping some of our friends/family book with you just so we get to experience it all over again. I cannot thank you both enough, you absolutely rocked it from beginning to end, we are so grateful🩵

Incredible Artist!!

Andrew was a pleasure to work with from start to finish. Our wedding was slightly different in the fact we had more of a festival theme so many unusual requests but that didn’t stop Andrew from working with us and making the day a huge success!! So many of our guests approached us to say how fantastic he was and honestly he was such great fun!! We had Andrew solo for our ceremony and then duo for the drinks reception. We will definitely use Andrew again for other events and would highly recommend him and the duo to anyone!

24live set the tone for our perfect day

From the day we heard Andrew at a Wedding Fayre we knew he was such an amazing artist. As we went to the different vendors, we couldn't help but comment on and listen to his amazing voice and beautiful guitar playing. He was so approachable and friendly when we spoke to him, it was almost like speaking to a friend.

After the wedding fayre, we explored 24live's Instagram page and we were even more in love with the music we heard. We spent an evening listening to videos in which Andrew performed solo and then as part of the duo of 24live. and we became their fans. I messaged Andrew to enquire if our wedding date was free and was thrilled that it was. He made everything really clear and approachable as he explained 24live's different packages and prices.

I loved the fact that Andrew didn't rush us into booking 24live straight away. He seems to really care if they were the best fit for our wedding day. He asked if we wanted to watch one of their gigs before booking our date and I am so glad we did. That was the final tick in our box. The atmosphere at the gig showed how well an audience respond to this amazing duo. There was so much happiness, singing and dancing, and it felt personal like they were listening and responding to the wishes of the crowd.

From booking Andrew, he checked in with us every month or so and offered us so much support and advice, not just regarding music, just because he is such a kind man. We felt so happy with our decision to book him, at ease that everyone would love 24live and that they would set the best tone for our wedding day.

Andrew performed solo in the day at our wedding. We arrived to him playing and he instantly relaxed us and made us smile and sing along. One of the first things our guests said to us was how incredible he was at performing. The day and music continued to be loved by everyone throughout the day and when 24live performed as a duo in the evening the party really got going.

We will forever be fans of 24live and are so grateful for the effort you both went to for our special day. You are well and truly amazing.

Made our wedding day!

We had Andrew booked for our wedding day with the solo package. He was later joined by Chris for the duo in the evening. They were absolutely amazing!

Andrew was in touch at various points before the wedding to make sure he had the information he needed. From this he made a plan for the day which made my OCD brain very happy!

Throughout the day we had so many comments from guests about how good they were. They were amazed that Andrew was there all day and kept wondering where we’d found him! Both Andrew and Chris made our day extra special. They gave the wedding the best vibe and were super flexible throughout the day, adapting due to the rain we had! Andrew was super friendly and helpful, he went above and beyond, to the point of tracking down the S’mores with my mum! 🤣

We were super lucky to have managed to book you for the wedding. Thanks so much again!

Absolutely Fantastic!

Andrew was an absolutely fantastic addition to our wedding day! We hired Andrew for our ceremony, drinks reception and wedding breakfast and we are so so glad that we did. His music created a brilliant atmosphere and we had so many comments from our guests on how great the music was. Andrew is also very friendly and the best supplier we had in terms of communication, he kept in contact on the build up to the day and gave us every confidence that he would deliver. Massive thank you! And we hope to see you at another wedding really soon.

Wedding ceremony and drinks reception

We hired Andrew for our ceremony and drinks reception for our wedding on June 10th. From start to finish the communication was amazing, and everything we had to do was really clear. Andrew learnt a song for going down the aisle which made it so meaningful and special. He was just amazing and would recommend to anyone. Thank you 💖 Rachael & Adam xx

Sensational top notch couldn⠹t recommend enough

Andrew was top notch all day, he helped out with separate things to the wedding and kept the day flowing as best he could. When things didn’t go to plan you wouldn’t be able to tell in the music. ALL of our wedding guests complimented him, asked about his business and commented how amazing Andrew was all day. We then get to the evening reception where Chris joins the entertainment, another great guy! Great songs played, the dance floor was not empty from 7pm-midnight which is what we wanted! Thank you so much for everything guys! If you’re wondering whether or not to book with these two! BOOK!

Best wedding band

24 live performed for our first dance and wedding evening party. Andrew has been really nice and helpful from the first phone meeting and guided us through everything we needed to know. He is so friendly, professional, easy going, and is just such a good singer!! They kept everything on the dance floor until the last song. We all had such a great time, and we got so many compliments from the guests. Thank you so much to Andrew and Chris!!
