About

Sherri and the Speakeasies is a Manchester and Cheshire-based six-piece wedding band boasting multiple vocalists, a horn section, double and electric bass, guitar, keyboards/piano, and drums. If that sounds like more than six, then you already have an insight into our sound.

We perform Postmodern Jukebox-style hits with a vintage twist, plus classic party bangers to fill that dance floor.

In addition to our evening performance, we can bring music to your whole day by offering these additional extras:

  • A live performance of the trumpet as you walk up the aisle.
  • A live performance of a song of your choice during your ceremony (vocals and guitar/piano).
  • Dinner piano during your wedding breakfast.
  • A live performance of a song of your choice for your first dance (with or without the Postmodern Jukebox styling).
  • A DJ set in between the live music to keep all your guests dancing and entertained late into the night.

We understand how important your wedding is, and we are dedicated to making your entire day as memorable as possible. Contact us on Hitched, and we can arrange a Zoom call to discuss your precise needs.

We are highly experienced musicians with years of international work, touring, events and corporate and function work under our belts.

We bring a full PA system (speakers, etc.), retro-styled dress, microphones, and instruments, including a unique faux-art deco-style piano effect and stage lighting, so you can leave all those arrangements to us.

Sherri and the Speakeasies is a vintage-style wedding band based in Manchester, Greater Manchester.

Brilliant band that made our reception swing.

So happy we booked this band for our wedding. We knew from the start that we wanted live music at our wedding and spent a long time searching for just the right band. They absolutely made our reception go with a swing. They did 2 halves where one was jazz style but songs everyone knows and a second half with classic songs like Mr Brightside and I Wanna Dance With Somebody. They brought their own lights which was a great touch as our venue only had a few coloured disco lights. Brilliant.

Highly recommend this band

Sherri and the Speakeasies had the place swinging. Everyone in the room was on the dance floor at some point in the evening. They sound amazing and really got the party going.

For their first set you could tell that they have put a lot of work into the special arrangements which they had produced themselves. For the second set they let rip into some party bangers.

You can tell that the band have a wealth of experience and talent between them.

Danced all night!

Great band - happy to review them. My gf and I loved the jazzy versions of songs we knew and they got everyone dancing from the start. The singer is very theatrical! Really different and cool. xxxx

Fantastic Band, made our night!

We booked Sherri and the speakeasies as a surprise for our daughters wedding. They arrived in plenty of time to get set up, were extremely professional and everyone got up to dance. Thank you so much, we loved the music.

Very professional outfit.

The Speakesies covered my pal’s wedding. I helped choose them. Impressed from the outset. Proper band, clearly seasoned musicians with a broad array of music talent inc. a lovely one-man horn section. Highly recommend.

Friends Wedding
