Now that I officially have my wedding band booked I don't mind sharing with you.
I booked No Recession after seeing them at my bestfriend/cousins wedding a few weeks back and was automatically blown away by the singer! I rang them last week and got a great quote from them including a DJ pretty much half of what other bands have charged me (PM if you want to know) so I snapped it up quickly. I asked would they play certain songs and the person I spoke to said it was no problem at all. I'm also having my wedding up the country a good bit away from where their based and driving is not a problem for them either. I was never asked for a deposit or nothing just to pay on the night aswell. I am so thrilled and thank Christ this is out of the way. The band was a big part of our day due to my boyfriend's love for music so I am delighted!!
:D:D:D:D:D
If you search No Recession on Facebook you should find them

Has anyone seen the band Upload at a wedding? We are thinking about getting them but have only seen them in a pub so its hard to judge what they would be like in getting the crowd going. Any advice would really be appreciated
Unless there were very few people in the pub there is no reason why they wouldn't get the crowd going when you saw them. I hope at least a few people did get up & dance? That is usually a really good indicator. Most excellent bands will get the crowd going (unless the place is "dead" as mentioned above). Are you still deciding on who to get? There are some really good wedding bands out there if you need more suggestions.0 -

Just checked the band... ha.... I find it funny that every second wedding band video starts with "Thinking out loud" by Ed Sheeran or at least contains it...
I mean yeah ok it's probably one of the most common first dances right now I would guess but hey... seriously?
Are couples really gonna look at a 100% produced video (with studio audio which is nowhere near the live experience) of a wedding band singing "Thinking out loud" and say... "Ok let's book this band?".
I mean you are looking for fun and getting people dancing... not yet another overly produced video - I would assume?
Anyone else agreeing on this?
You need to either SEE THEM LIVE or see a proper LIVE VIDEO of to judge accurately or else you will regret it. And if they don't get the crowd going (unless the place is empty) then you should ask yourself why this is going to be different at your wedding. And don't stress take your time to find the right band because it will make the night.
I go out almost every weekend listening to bands and there are several good bands out there that don't even have a produced video nor proper website for that matter but are absolutely unreal live. And they spread through word of mouth and get bookings that way. This is the kind of band you are ultimately looking for.
What can help is to make sure you are getting a professional band. Prices shouldn't be too different (unless you are getting some really bad band maybe and they know they can't charge much...). I was at a wedding not too long ago and the band was absolutely shocking.... Made me wonder how does a band like that even get booked into a pub they are so bad, not to mention a wedding.
At least with a pro-band you know you are getting quality. Same principle as other professions. A pro will care about what he does and does it well. You wouldn't go to a Vet for the right medicine either would you? 0 -

Looking for someone who has can play a bit of everything from the chuck berry to country music, my fiance is from Texas so there will have to be a bit of country in there somewhere, feel free to pm me with prices etc or if anyone knows a hidden gem feel free to let me know:D
Dont underestimate a working bands ability to squeeze on to a stage no matter how manys in it.
If its the marquee at the back, Ive seen up to a 7 piece in there. Tight but doable.0 -

On the note of space - I am getting married in The Millhouse and would love a 7 piece soul band but I'm afraid it will be a squash. Have any large bands played here or anyone been at a wedding there with a full band playing? I'm talking brass, drums, keys, everything!
We've played here a couple of times and we're a ten piece soul/Motown outfit. Was it tight? Yes. Uncomfortable? Certainly not. We find it easy though because a lot of the band have wireless microphones and in ear monitors. As the professionals above have said-us musicians are very flexible with space.

We've had to cancel our wedding on July 2nd and are now looking at a venue for August 20th. We had The Mixtape booked for July 2nd but they're not available for our new date (now available for July 2nd though if anyone wants to upgrade!). Does anyone know of any other good bands with a somewhat indie/rock/alternative repertoire we should be looking at? The Hitmen Trio were another one we liked but are unavailable.
Music is important to us and tbh we really dislike most wedding bands so aren't too optimistic of finding someone else we like at such short notice
