Wedding Band - Railroad Kin
We used Entertainment Nation to find our wedding band and the whole process was super smooth and easy! They have a huge selection of bands to choose from with videos of them performing so you can get a feel for what they’re like. We went with Railroad Kin and they were SO cool - we paid extra for an hour of saxophone and DJ and this went down a treat! They played songs from all genres and just totally smashed it. We were so lucky to find them! The dancefloor was full all night 🥰

Wedding Bands made stress free and highly recommend The Rhythm Detectives!
The Rhythm Detectives were absolutely fantastic at our wedding! So many of our guests said they were the best wedding band they’d ever seen. We knew from their videos they’d be great, but they truly exceeded expectations, getting everyone onto the dance floor and keeping the energy high all night. Despite some travel hiccups for our destination wedding in Sicily, Dan and the band were incredibly relaxed and easy to work with throughout. Highly recommend! 5 STARS
We wouldn’t have found them without Ashleigh from Entertainment Nation, she understood the vibe we were looking for and was able to find one who met our budget for a wedding abroad.

Amazing Band
The Willowbrooks were absolutely brilliant at our wedding. They played the song for our first dance and their enthusiasm and energy really set the tone for the rest of the evening. Everyone was up and dancing and having a great time. The lead singer has an amazing voice and the band have a great sound, we really loved having them there. The whole booking process with Entertainment Nation was straightforward and seamless with good communication throughout. The band contacted us a few weeks before the wedding to finalise the details, pick our first song and ask for our spotify playlist which was played between sets. Having someone from the band manning the ‘DJ’ booth between sets meant our guests could make song requests and we didn’t have to worry about a thing as it was all taken care of. We would 100% recommend the Willowbrooks and Entertainment Nation. Thank you for making our wedding reception so much fun!

Amazing band
The band Stand Easy were awesome!!! We had two songs that meant a lot to us for our first dance. We didn't know what we were getting so were so pleasantly surprised when they had learnt to play our top pick. Wonderful!! They were so great and so much fun!! Amazing!!

Hire the ridgeway!
We hired the ridgeways for our barn wedding in October this year. Maeve and the band were incredible. Their team were super responsive in the lead up and on the day they arrived and set up super quickly. They sang our first dance perfectly and the rest of the night brought all of the best songs and party mode! The band even let a dunk bride and groom take the mics for a bit and even let us finish the song after realising how tone deaf we are. We can’t thank them enough and urge anyone who are after a fun party to hire the ridgeways! Thank you for making our wedding amazing!! Xx

Midsummer Knights kept everyone on the dancefloor all night
We had an afternoon acoustic set & the full band in the evening. The music was amazing, all our guests loved them! The set list was a great mix and we were so glad they could perform our first dance song live. They were all lovely and made our wedding party so much fun.

The band were fab!
Big thank you to our band 'The Flintlocks' they were fab on the day, learning our first dance and allowing me to sing with them for a song. They were super flexible and allowed us to use their kit for a karaoke session during breaks too. Was perfect ❤️

Brightmoor Motown
AMAZING! Choosing Brightmoor Motown was the best decision we made for our wedding reception! From the communication beforehand to finalise the set list, to bringing the vibes on the night, they were brilliant. They got everyone up and dancing for the whole night, even the aunts and uncles that don't usually get on the dancefloor! We were absolutely blown away and all of our guests had a brilliant night, thanks to the band. We would highly recommend Brightmoor Motown for any event - thank you so much!

Asking for Sugar
Asking for Sugar were such a wonderful addition to our wedding celebrations. They were wonderful in the build up - ensuring they had any particular song requests from us etc. I was super impressed by how the lead singer was belting out the tunes despite being quite heavily pregnant - she has an awesome voice. We loved their set list and wouldn't change a thing. The weather on the day was beautiful so a lot of people were enjoying the tunes from outside. The dance floor was then packed for the second set and we have great footage of our guests dancing the night away (including my 5-year old daughter who didnt leave the dance floor at all!). Super professional, friendly and great musicians! Thank you :) Abi and Harry

Really good!
The band were fabulous. The dance floor was filled all night and the tone they set with their set list was spot on.
They even did some acoustic fill-in when the DJ broke down.
We had loads of comments about how good they were from the other suppliers,so we were delighted!

Amazing band, great agency.
We booked City beats for our wedding in August 2024. The booking system was easy and everyone at Entertainment Nation were super helpful and quick in answering questions before hand. City beats themselves were excellent, not only was there performance incredible, they were lovely and did everything we requested with ease. They travelled far to get to us, and although it can be nerve wracking booking a live performance just from an online video, they were somehow better than expected. Us and our guests danced along to songs that all generations loved. They looked that part, fitted perfectly with our venue and brought life to the evening of our celebration.

Flaming Keys - Incredible band!
My husband was in charge of finding our wedding band, he was briefed to find a local Somerset band that has a saxophonist. He came across Entertainment Nation and found the band Flaming Keys who delivered on all accounts, adding a Trumpet player for extra fun. I was absolutely sold and we booked them straight away, no messing around.
We initially communicated with the band via Entertainment Nation, which was very good and then with a month to go we were put in touch with the band. They're communication ahead of our wedding was great, especially given the logistics of our wedding weren't the easiest, however, they were very understanding and obliging.
When it came to our wedding day, they were absolutely brilliant, going over and above with their stage set and blowing us and our guests away with their performance, the dance floor was rammed the whole time!

Wildcard were absolutely incredible!
We hired Wildcard through Entertainment Nation and they were absolutely incredible and so many of our guests have since asked about them!!
If you’re looking for a band a little more rocky to get your guests up onto the dance floor and STAY there, Wildcard are certainly the perfect fit!
Matt and the band were all super friendly, they were flexible for song requests in between during the DJ sets and their set list for their act was just perfect!! There was non-stop dancing, it all felt very personal and they’re just an amazing band!! Thank you for making our day so special!
We cannot recommend Wildcard enough!

Excellent music
Easy booking and incredible music. We booked ‘Fire it Up’ and had Steve (sax) and Dean (DJ) play at our evening reception. They got the music absolutely spot on, keeping energy high and also including a mix of different genres to please everyone. Steve was incredible on the sax and the music kept the dance floor full all night. Great communication throughout
