Testimonials

“Hi Nick, To surmise, they were absolutely fantastic. It wasn’t a massive party and sometimes a 50th birthday can be a funny one to play to, but they pitched it absolutely spot on with the songs they chose, how they played them and how they sounded. The guys all seemed to enter into the spirit of it all too, playing a few extras at the end. Genuinely, they made a cracking evening a brilliant one. They are a credit to you (and themselves) and without hesitation, I’d be happy to give them a hugely positive recommendation. Please pass on my sincerest thanks.”Andy Douglas – Birthday Party, Saughton Hall, Flintshire

“Hello, please could you pass on our thanks to festival sons!!! They were amazing. Everybody loved them and we has the best evening. Our first dance was perfect and sounded amazing, we wondered if there was any way we could have a copy of them singing it (All of me) and if this is possible how much would it cost. Would just make our day so much more memorable. Thought I would ask. Thanks”Nick Knowlton and Debbie Knowlton – Wedding, Solent Hotel & Spa, Fareham

So many people asked who they were and where we had found them and the praise is still coming in. The age range of guests spanned over 40 years and they literally had everyone up on the dance floor all night. They played exactly the right balance of current music and some classics but nothing cheesy…these guys are cool yet FUN!! The party was in our house.

I have seen lots of bands over my four years here and ‘Festival Sons’ will stick in my mind as one of best!”Jenny – Wedding, Preston Court, Kent

“Festival Sons played our wedding on Saturday night and were absolutely brilliant! They totally rocked. Everyone was dancing, young and old, until the bitter end and everyone commented on how good they were. My friends, husband and I are pretty hard-core music fans and we like to think we know what we’re talking about when it comes to music and these guys were stunning! They thoroughly surpassed our expectations and made for an unforgettable night. Great songlist, loads of energy and really nice lads too. Booking, correspondence and organisation was seamless. They were happy to arrange for the sound engineer to set up a bit early so we could play our own playlist first which was very helpful too. Thanks so much guys. You finished off our day with a party that we’ll never forget. Hope you enjoyed yourselves too! Love Bex & Rob”Becky & Rob – Wedding, Kent

Thanks also for playing extra songs after the set had concluded – it went down really well as you saw from the enthusiastic reaction of our friends. On a personal note, thanks for letting me gatecrash the stage and sing with you. It was another magical moment in what was a truly awesome day! We’ll certainly be recommending you to our families and friends. All the very best and hope to see you at some stage in the future. Cheers”Chris & Lauren – Wedding, Dorton House, Buckinghamshire

“Wow…first class customer care from when Iain arrived to set up all the sound and lighting equipment – all very professional. The band are a pleasure to deal with, and are clearly skilled musicians who are able to adapt to their environment and audiences musical tastes…they really do Rock! Festival Sons and Iain created a very special night of live music that my family and guests will not forget. Thank you so much. 10/10”Paul Simpson – Party, Hertfordshire

“Festival Sons provided a truly excellent show for our wedding. Their flexibility to accomodate our requests with setup, set list and use of the kit was much appreciated.

We would definitely book them again. cheers!”Tom & Laura – Wedding, Pennyhill Park Hotel & Spa, Surrey

“Dear Nick, We just wanted to drop you a quick note to say how immensely happy we were to have the FestivalSons guys play at our Wedding on 11th October. These guys are amazing! Ever since we first came across them, we were looking forward to having them play for us, and they 100% did not disappoint. They were absolutely fantastic. Our dance floor didn’t empty for the duration of both sets, and we got so many of our guests say how good they were afterwards. In particular, we would like to thank them for playing our first dance live which we weren’t expecting – a really nice touch and a great memory. For anyone considering these guys, we recommend them a hundred times over. They really made our wedding day special. Massive thanks and please ensure that is passed on to the guys, and the sound engineer.”James & Alison Haigh – Wedding, Gravetye Manor, West Sussex

“A massive thank you to everyone involved in doing our wedding on the 19th July! The band were amazing and everyone was dancing the whole night! Millie dealt with all our requests before the day perfectly and professionally. On the day (which was ridiculously hot!) the guys set up quickly and didn’t get in anyone’s way. The sound engineer was brilliant and they did a great job on the first dance. Everyone has said how good the music was and were so happy that they were part of our perfect day! Mr Brightside was epic!! Cheers guys”Alan & Annie – Wedding, Hertfordshire

“Festival Sons were excellent, really friendly and flexible group of lads who played with great passion during the evening. Dance floor was full the moment the first dance was over. Really happy that we picked this band. Could have been a gamble but ended up a dead cert!”Matthew Wall – Wedding, Hampshire

“I just wanted to drop you an email to say thank you so much to Festival Sons for playing at my wedding on May 24th a few weeks ago. You guys did an utterly amazing job. It was fantastic to see everyone up on the dance floor so quickly and having a great time dancing – it really made the evening something special! Everyone has commented on how great the band was, which I think is a great testimony to how good you were. Good Luck with future gigs.”Lara Abbott – Wedding, Somerset

“These lads were great; so many of our guests commented on how good they made the evening that it made me wonder whether or not my wife and I really needed to be there! They played the right music with only a very loose description of what we wanted, and responded to what went down well. They’ve got more stage presence than your typical wedding band, and having them up there made our bunch of 30-somethings feel a whole lot cooler than they really are for the night!”Jon Reeves – Wedding, Bath

“On behalf of Petersfield Events, a HUGE thank you for recommending Festival Sons to us for our festival – they were absolutely amazing!! From the outset they had the whole crowd jumping about and dancing to tunes that we’re all used to hearing on the radio all the time. A lot of people said that if they closed their eyes and listened it was just like having their favourite band actually on stage – so accurate was their performance. And when they opened their eyes it even looked like it too – as the band looked so cool!”Pete Dew – Petersfield Events

“Exactly the kind of music, sound and band we were looking for. They are extremely cool and totally rocked the venue. We went from a relatively empty dance floor to a “mosh pit” within a few songs. One of the female attendees text us after the event to ask where on earth we got such a “cool, hip and totally fit” band esp the drummer apparently. So yep would recommend hiring them any day of the week.”David Butler – Wedding, Kent

“Festival Sons were absolutely SUPERB! Good music was a priority for us and we certainly got it. The set up was great, their repertoire was a perfect mix and they seemed to enjoy it as much as we did. Julie and I found ourselves running back to the dance floor so that we didn't miss a single tune! Many, many of our guests commented on what a "find" they were. Ian was an absolute gem too. Thank you very much, we couldn't be happier.”Olly & Jules - Wedding, Burleigh Hill Farm, Cambridgeshire

“Brilliant band, great sound, really got the party going, so many thanks to Festival & Sons for helping to make our Summer Party such a success!”Brian Ward - Corporate Summer Party, Suffolk

“Hi Amy, I just wanted to pass on a massive thank you to the Festival Sons, we had an amazing wedding day and they just topped it off!! Everyone commented on how amazing they were and they excelled our expectations by a million times- the best wedding band we've ever heard!! I've attached a couple of images which they welcome to use, but I just wanted to say a humongous thanks to them and hope you can pass it on to them.”Naomi & Kevin - Wedding, Newton Park Barn, Milton Keynes

“Festival Sons were absolutely fantastic, and completely exceeded all of our hopes and expectations. The first Mumford style set was amazing, and got all our friends and relatives dancing right from the start. The second, more electric set kept everyone on the dancefloor, to the end of the night. We can't say enough positive things about Festival Sons; everything about the whole experience was easy, simple and stress -free, and they provided the perfect soundtrack to our perfect day. All our guests commented on how brilliant they were. We absolutely loved them, and would recommend them to anyone as they are brilliant.”Steve Sharman - Wedding, Maidstone

“Hi Amy, They were AMAZING! Definitely a highlight of the day. So many people commented on them- they were so professional, really adapted to what the crowd wanted, created a great atmosphere and were great fun! They even gave us two extra songs, the lead singer put on a daffodil hat and allowed the groom to come up and join him on the mike (one of his personnel favourite memories). Let me know if you need any more info than that because I am more than happy to sing their praises!”Anna Jury - Wedding, Low Gale, Lanes

“Thank you so much for a great night!! Everyone had an amazing time!”Camille Soubrane - Wedding, Henley-On Thames

“Hi Amy, The band were brilliant. All our guests thought they were very good and the dance floor was always full. Great selection of songs. Absolutely no complaints. Keep on doing what you're doing!”Angela Beecroft - Wedding, Hazlemere

“Hello, The band were worth every single penny, such a lovely, lively and carasmatic bunch of guys. They got the dance floor full and the atmosphere was amazing. They were flawless there set and didn't mind me talking to them when we're were sat outside on hay bails having a bite to eat. I have been asked by so many people where I found them, and all I can say is I'm glad I stumbled on them. If i ever have the opportunity to hire a band again, I know who I will try to get. The acoustic man Si we had as well was amazing, his voice was very croud pleasing, I didn't have time to talk to him at all as I'm sure you know what it's like at wedding but he was great as well, your acts are of a very high quality. Thanks so much for all your help, I don't have one ounce of regret with booking through you.”Laura Arnold - Wedding, Russit Wood Farm, Herstmonceux

“Both of us and every guest we had were blown away by the band, they were absolutely brilliant! The first dance song they learnt was performed perfectly, we were really impressed and it brought a lot of extra smiles as we danced to it. Then as soon as they kicked off the first set after the first dance we couldn't believe that everyone jumped straight in to dance! We were a little worried that it may have been a bit early and guests weren't going to be dancing so soon but they proved us wrong! Hats off to the band as they captured both young and old guests to dance the whole way through the evening. We had so many messages and compliments about how good the band were from guests it was clearly a highlight of the day (besides the wedding bit!) We felt so lucky to find this band to perform on our wedding day. It's a shame they don't record their sets so you can buy a cd of the night as that would be extremely popular! Thanks again for everything, we will be sure to recommend you to any of our friends.”Matt & Shen - Wedding, Wasing Park, Reading.

“Just to say that the Festival Sons were amazing on our wedding day at Newton Hall and all the guests commented on how good they were and how much they enjoyed the night.

“Thank you so much for playing at our wedding. You all did an amazing job and I (Jen) loved every minute as you could probably tell!

And thank you for a wonderful version of The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face.”Mr and Mrs Byford - Wedding, The Thatched Barn, Yelling, Cambridgeshire

“Hi Phoebe, Thanks for your email, The band were totally amazing!! They completely rocked our first dance choice and made our day! Everyone was dancing all night long, the song choice was perfect and we had so much good feedback from our guests! So so happy we booked them.Please pass on a huge thanks!”Gemma & Nick - Wedding, The Bell Inn, High Street, Ticehurst, East Sussex

“Music is a big part of our lives. We go to loads of festival and gigs, and therefore we spent a long time choosing a band that would bring that extra wow factor to our day, and Festival Sons 100% fit the brief. The fact that they offered two styles of sets, one Indie Folk, and one Electric, gave great variation and something for everyone. Their versions of well known tracks were great, and their performance of our first dance song which was perhaps an obscure choice, was perfect. We had amazing comments from our guests, and I think the giant conga line, knees up dancing, and sing alongs showed that everyone had a great time. Some of the girls were also a little bit in love with a couple of the boys! I would recommend Festival Sons, and I'm glad we booked them for our special day. Thank you boys.”Anja & Scott - Wedding, Rivervale Barn, Yateley, Hampshire

They were absolutely fantastic and we have had so many comment from our guests and questions where we found them. We could not have wished for a group that played better together, got involved with the audience and just suited the occasion and venue – it was absolutely perfect and really made our day the most memorable ever! Thank you for all your help and you might well get a request from us in the future to have them back for an anniversary party ;-)”Katharina - Wedding, East Quay, Whitstable Harbour, Whitstable, Kent

“Hello Phoebe, Festival Sons can only be described as absolutely outstanding! Everyone was up on the dance floor all night, dancing their socks off, which is just what we wanted. So many guests commented on how great the band were. And on top of that they were very professional and friendly. I would recommend them to anyone. Please pass on our deepest thanks to the boys as we didn't get chance to on the night.”Tom & Laura - Wedding, Almonry Barn, Somerset

They're a very talented bunch of guys, and deserve to do really well. Best Wishes”Rosie's Mum - Wedding, Prestwold Hall, Loughborough

“Hi Phoebe, Just a quick email to say that the boys were absolutely fantastic on Saturday night. They really made the party. All of our guests thought they were just brilliant & the ladies wanted to take them home!! They not only performed amazingly but were thoughtful, courteous & great fun. Really made by birthday very special indeed. Even having me on stage singing 500 miles with them, their idea not mine, didn’t dampen the atmosphere & had everyone on the dance floor!! Also to the DJ who was equally fantastic. We had hired a sound system for when they all left but he wasn’t very happy with it & stayed for an extra hour so as to not leave us in the lurch. A real gentleman! I think they all enjoyed the party as much as we enjoyed all of them. Thank you again Best wishes”Jon & Gilli - Birthday Party, Manor Barn, Chichester

“Hi Phoebe, Please pass on our thanks onto the guys for Saturday. It was absolutely amazing and we had so many comments from our guests about how great the music was. Our first dance was perfect.

I will be singing the praises of Tailored Entertainment to others having events in the future.”Ria and Charlie - West Stoke Farm, Winchester

The enthusiasm for the band has been endless from our guests and we are already trying to think of a reason to have another party so we can ask them to come and play again! Simply Wow! Please pass on my very best wishes and thank you's to the band and tell them to definitely expect to hear from us again as we just loved them!!!! Thanks again!”Charlie & James - Wedding, The Long Barn, Newton Valance

“Festival Sons were absolutely amazing and we had the best night!!! Everyone commented on how amazing the band were. Many Thanks for providing such a great band.”Lauren - Wedding, Over Barn, Gloucester

“We would like to say just how amazing the band was. At all times they were extremely professional and courteous and the music was fantastic. We were running a little behind schedule so the band had to wait a little while before getting set up but they were politely patient and happy to wait. Once they were set up and started playing, the hall transformed and everyone had a blast, even for such a small hall, the music sounded superb. I had a lot of feedback from guests saying how amazing the band was and it really made the night. The disco set was also fantastic and the dance floor was never empty. My only regret was that I was often so busy mingling with guests that I missed out on some of the bands' performances. I also missed saying goodbye to the band when they were leaving so please pass on my thanks. We are both extremely pleased with our decision to hire the Festival Sons and would recommend them to anyone looking for great live entertainment. Many Thanks”Jamie and Ashleigh Stevenson - Wedding, East Dean Village Hall, Chichester

“Having only seen Festival Sons online prior to our wedding day they lived up to everything we had seen and heard and more. Our guests really enjoyed all the music particularly the acoustic set and the Mumford and Sons style music. We wouldn't hesitate to re-book for another event or recommend to friends and family.”Sarah & Thomas - Wedding, Calveley Lodge, Cornwall

“I could not have asked for more, they were fantastic! They played a great mix throughout the evening, clearly worked out what we liked through the night and played exactly what we wanted. Me and the wife felt this was a major highlight. I have also been asked for contact details for future weddings. Truly fantastic and worth the extra cash. A million times better than a DJ! Please send out thanks onto the band. Thank you!”Tim - Wedding - Fanhams Hall, Hertfordshire

“We hope you are well, if possible can you pass on a huge thank you to the festival sons, they were perfect!!!! Everyone had such a fantastic time, dancing the night away to such great music! Their repertoire and arrangements were spot on. Our first dance was so special and we cannot thank them all enough. The band were so friendly and helpful throughout the evening as well, thank you.”Charlie - Wedding - Southfleet, Kent

“Festival Sons were absolutely brilliant at our wedding on July 9th. They kicked off with our first dance song which they did brilliantly and following that they kept people on the dance floor all evening. I loved the different style sets they offered - it helped please people of all tastes. We had so many positive comments about the band, and they have a new number-one fan in our nephew who has named his goldfish after Ben! We would recommend Festival Sons highly - they perfectly rounded off what had been the most brilliant day for us. Please pass on our heart-felt thanks to them.”Amy - Wedding, Norman Court Barn, Andover

“We hired Festival Sons and they were incredible! The sound engineer, Ian, came and set up earlier in the day meaning this wasn't done during our wedding, he was very professional and worked hard to suit our ideas and wishes. He helped organise me, by letting me know when the band were ready and when we could do our first dance (I didn't have a clue!). The band sounded amazing and so many of our guests commented on the awesome atmosphere they created. They were very flexible, trying a song they didn't really know for my friends from New Zealand to sing with them, and it sounded as if they had rehearsed it knew it very well. We can't explain how good they sounded and how the selection of music suited us. We'd like to say a huge thank you to festival sons!”Lisa & Will Mouland - Wedding, Home Farm, Dorset

“Can you pass on a huuuuuuuge thank you to the festival sons, they were perfect!!!! Everyone had such a fantastic time, dancing the night away to such great music! Their repertoire and arrangements were spot on. Our first dance was so special and we cannot thank them all enough. The band were so friendly and helpful throughout the evening as well, thank you.”Charlie - Wedding, Southfleet

“What can we say! It was incredible, everyone loved the music, the timings of when to increase the tempo, the band members dispositions, they were incredible, loved the vocalist! They had everyone dancing and everyone loves the party! Thank you so much! We are have recommended you to friends and family already.”Clair and Greg - Wedding, New Milton

“Thank you very much for being part of our special day. We had a wonderful time and this was helped by having such a good and entertaining band. Many people have mentioned this week how much they enjoyed the music at our wedding. Thanks again for all your help in making our day special. We will certainly recommend the band to others.All the best for the future.”Ben and Lou - Wedding, Cain Manor

“You were every bit as good as we were hoping, & more, & everyone we spoke to during & after your set said how brilliant you were. We were so, so happy with your performance. We really appreciate you allowing the mind-blowing Rhian Grundy to sing with you too (as well as the Scottish drunk... he could just about remember doing it at breakfast this morning!). You guys were great fun & really professional. Several people asked for the name of your band so we told them to look you up on YouTube. Maybe you'll get some more bookings & we might even see you again!”Emma - Wedding, Oldwalls, Gower

Could you kindly pass on our praise to the band (and sound engineer) and thank them for being part of what was a truly memorable day? The band also took a couple of selfies with all our guests so if it is possible to get a copy of that photo, it would be greatly appreciated! Many thanks for all your help too in organising. Kind regards”Peter Cartwright - Wedding, Gaynes Park, Essex

“Dear Phoebe, Just wanted to say a huge thank you to the very talented guys from Festival Sons for playing our wedding. They were incredible, so many people said to us how good they were. I even had friends trying to cancel their own wedding bands to book them instead! They added so much to the atmosphere of the teepee and they played our first dance song "Be my baby" brilliantly. We couldn't have asked for a better band at our wedding reception, we are still loving watching the videos of everyone dancing to them. I have attached a few photos of everyone having a good time to the band. Best Wishes”Nicole and Marc - Wedding, Pimhill Barn, Shrewsbury.

“Hi Guys, Just wanted to say a huge thank you for playing at our wedding. We had so many comments from our guests about how great you were! The dance floor was full all night which is exactly what we wanted. Thank you again and we hope to see you guys play again some day.”Katrina and Richard - Wedding, Swallows Nest Barn, Warwick

“We had Festival Sons at our wedding and they were fantastic! The acoustic set in the marquee at the start set the tone for the evening with some old and new classics and was a perfect set for guests to arrive and listen to. After the meal the band moved to the main hall and were very accommodating as we were running late with speeches and clearing up tables. They played one long set throughout the evening and the dance floor was full all night - the band played a set list as per our prior requests and I could not have wished for a better band to play! I have had many comments from guests about how good they were and have recommended them to friends who are having functions in the future. A great night was had!”Richie and Zoe - Wedding, Mickleham Village Hall, Surrey

“Festival Sons were brilliant, no complaints at all! Actually sounded much better in real life than on their website! Also the DJing was great and brilliant song choices. Thanks for helping to make our wedding great!”Hannah Cooper - Wedding, Cripps Stone Barn, Cheltenham

“Hi Emma, Amy and everyone in Festival Sons, We just wanted to drop you an email to say a massive thank you for performing at our wedding on the 22nd of December in Sopley Mill. We had an incredible day and we were so thrilled with the music throughout the evening. Everyone has complimented us on how much fun they had dancing and how great you guys sounded which we are so grateful for as it really makes the whole experience! We loved your rendition of our first dance Secret Smile it was just how we had imagined! Thank you.”Emma and Johnathan Wright - Wedding, Sopley Mill, Hampshire

"Hi Emma, The band were absolutely amazing. Firstly, they were super professional, turned up nice and early and set up without us having to coordinate anything. Completely took any stress off our shoulders. Secondly, they sounded great and put on a great show. We had several professional musicians as guests and all were very impressed with how good the band were. Please pass on my thanks to the band."Alex Murrell - Wedding, Stone Barn, Cheltenham

"Thank you so much for your amazing performance at our wedding in Cornwall on April 1st! Oli and I are massive music fans, and we spent ages picking a band for the evening before we even thought about dresses or suits or flowers or any of that kind of stuff! That's why we were delighted to have you with us in the evening providing professional, top quality music and a really great set list :-) Loads of guests commented that it was like being at a professional gig rather than a wedding, which is exactly what we wanted! (and we totally agree!) You really helped to make our wedding incredibly special, and although we and our crew may have been slow to fill the dance floor, you guys were REALLY appreciated! Our communications with Tailored Entertainment were very good in the run up to the wedding, and we would definitely like to thank Amy for all her support and quick replies to our emails."Kathryn and Oli - Wedding, The Green Cornwall, Cornwall

"5/5 - Can you please pass on my thanks again to the band. They were brilliant and really made the afternoon and the evening amazing."Tim Penfold - Wedding, Eastwell Manor Hotel, Kent

"5/5 - Festival Sons were amazing. They really put the cherry on the cake of our Wedding; we couldn't have asked for a better band."Matthew Smith - Wedding, Farbidge Barn, Chichester

"Please pass on our thanks to the band for doing the song below. They handled it excellently and beck and Liam loved it! Really appreciated their good humour on this!"Liam Davies - Wedding, Gate Street Barn, Guildford

So many compliments about the quality and energy of the band! Our own festival to cap off an amazing day :) thank you so so much!David Sim - Wedding, Wasing Park, Reading

You guys were INCREDIBLE! People have been messaging all day telling us how amazing our band was - thank you SO much! <3Georgie Sim - Wedding, Wasing Park, Reading

The band were INCREDIBLE! People are still talking about them and I just can't thank you enough for providing us with such awesome entertainment. They were friendly, approachable and the sound guy even helped me when I couldn't find somewhere to put something before the first dance. They have such a genuine and friendly atmosphere about them and they are so talented. I wanted Mumford & Sons at my wedding and so went with Festival Sons as the next best thing and they truly were! I closed my eyes on the dance floor at one point during a Mumford song and you wouldn't know the difference! They also stuck to our first dance song and following song perfectly which we were very grateful for and came back on for one last song which was one of the best moments of the day. The group photo all together at the end was just the icing on the cake!Georgina Hanks - Wedding, Wasing Park

Festival sons were fantastic - they played sets that suited the mood and gave it their all!Jennifer Peed - Wedding, Bartholomew Barn

Tailored entertainment provided an excellent service throughout the preparations: they always responded quickly to our questions and gave us all the information we needed. The band were fantastic. They arrived with plenty of time to spare and set up promptly and without hassle. The music was great: it was lovely how they played a version of our first song and the rest of the music was awesome. We had many comments about how good they were. We would definitely recommend them to anyone else!Nick Ledlie - Wedding, Fir Tree Cottage, Lutterworth

Just a quick note to thank you for helping us with the booking of `festival sons' for mine and Rachel's wedding this weekend at Pimhill Barn. The band and technician were so professional - we couldn't have hoped for better. Their relaxed attitude when we were forced to change the timings really meant a lot to us. More importantly, they sounded amazing and far, far exceeded our expectations. We've had so much positive feedback from our guests!Adam and Rachel - Wedding

Best band ever....thank you for making it perfect xKaylee Petch - Hunters Hall, Swanton Morley

5/5 - The band were absolutely amazing on the night - arrived in plenty of time and set up extremely quickly. They accommodated to all our needs and managed to integrate our varied tastes of music to make it a memorable night. I have received nothing but compliments from my guests about Festival Sons - they all thought the guys were awesome. Thank you for making our wedding evening so magical and fun. And thank you for being so brilliant with the little ones running around and dancing with you - my 2 year old daughter had a wonderful time listening to you sing!Rachel Osbourne - Wedding, Clock Barn, Hampshire

I don't think we can put into words how amazing the band were... Absolutely fantastic musicians and lovely guys - their range of styles from upbeat folksy to old school rock to twists on modern classics kept the dance floor fully occupied all night!!! Again I can't express how much we enjoyed them, what a fantastic atmosphere they created - they literally made our wedding! The groom and friends ended up half dressed tops undone dancing like lunatics to them for all of the night... they ended their set with chants of 'one more song' from our guests... We are still have people come up to us and comment on how brilliant they were. We are already thinking of excuses to hold another party to have them back! So in other words can't recommend them highly enough, simply fantastic. Please thank them from us, and thank you for a brilliant service will definitely be recommending you and Festival Sons to others.Ollie & Poppy - Wedding, Moatfield, Staffordshire

This band were amazing! They really made our night. They were friendly and seemed to enjoy what they were doing. Very professional and overfilled the dance floor! We've had loads of brilliant feedback about them. I would recommend them and use them again myself. Thanks for a great band.Sarah Nelson - Wedding, Frampton Court

Thank you guys, you were absolutely awesome!Sarah and Rhys - Wedding, Dunchurch, Warkwickshire

Please let them know that we were absolutely thrilled with their performance on 26th August.

They really made the night and we’ve had so much amazing feedback from all of our guests.Rachel Chadwick, Events Manager, Barnsley House

Festival sons were amazing on our wedding day. The music was fantastic and had everybody up on the dance floor after their first set. A truly talented bunch of people! Thank you for performing at our wedding.Jonathan Codd - Wedding, Tithe Barn, Petersfield

What can we say about Festival Sons....THEY WERE AMAZING!! We couldn't have been happier with the band, they really made our day extra special. The dance floor was full for the whole night and everyone absolutely loved the band. The set lists were perfect, with songs that everyone could enjoy. I have had so many comments on how good the band were, from people of all ages. Thank you so much for everything! You were all so easy to deal with and I had no worries before hand that you would do an amazing job. The sound engineer was amazing too, setting up quietly during dinner and sound checking with the band very discreetly. I couldn't recommend Festival Sons more. They fitted into our Tipi wedding perfectly. THANK YOU!Kat and Simon Adsett - Wedding - East Barn, Gayton

5/5 - Festival Sons were absolutely fantastic! Would highly recommend them to anyone for any event in the future. They performed a really good relaxed acoustic set during the ceremomy and afterwards in the bar area, with some great feedback from guests. They then played two brilliant sets in the evening - both of which had the dance floor full. Living up to their name they played lots of festival favourites of ours - amongst others, The Strokes, The Coral, Mumford and Sons and of course, The Killers! The perfect end to a perfect day! We also thought the customer service from Tailored was great - thanks for looking after us.Joe and Susie - Wedding, Curradine Barns, Worcestershire

You guys are the best wedding band ever! Thank you so much for being at our big day! I was trying to spend time chatting with my guests but I couldn't get off the dance floor because you kept playing all my favourite songs!Susie and Joe Grove Wedding, Curradine Barns, Shrawley, Worcestershire

The guys were absolutely top notch and our guests were raving about them. So pleased they could be part of our day. Huge thanks.Jessica & Edward Chilton - Wedding, Narborough Hall Gardens

Thank you so much for such a great performance. Festival Sons we’re fan-tastic!! We couldn’t have wished for anything more! I loved their playlist and short of asking for a few requests from it we left them to play what they enjoyed and what worked best. They judged it perfectly and put on a 1st Class performance. The guys were prompt, professional and very friendly. We would not hesitate to recommend them and will hopefully see them in the future.Martin and Liz - Wedding, Barmsley House, Gloucestershire

Hi Amy, Just a little thank you for all the amazing work you did helping to organise Festival Sons for our wedding. Thanks also to the band who were awesome! I could have danced to them all night and Ben's acoustic was fantastic during the ceremony. The guys really rocked. Thanks for making it so special for us. Love Sabrina & Nick xxxxSabrina & Nick - Wedding - Preston Court, Canterbury

Both Jasmine and Festival & Sons added considerably to the day and evening of our Wedding Clearly (and deliberately on our part) they are very different styles but chosen for this and the right/relevant parts of the day/evening. Penny and I were delighted with both and the overall feedback from our guests was incredibly positive- we would have no hesitation in recommending Jasmine and Festival & Sons to anyone. As a final comment Jasmine and all m members of the Band were/are incredibly engaging and lovely people.Penny & Nick - Wedding, Lime Wood Hotel, Dorset

Festival Sons did an unbelievable job on Saturday at our wedding on the Isle of Wight - could not recommend them highly enough.

Hi Erin, Wanted to thank you and the band for providing wonderful entertainment for our wedding day, just over a week ago. Festival Sons were accommodating and friendly with my requests to move timings around slightly on the day, and were good fun with getting me up there to perform with them - even if I was slightly worse for wear by that point! And they sounded great throughout.Jane and Adam D’Arcy Wedding, Sopley Mill

Festival Sons were absolutely amazing! They really set the most uplifting and joyful atmosphere for our wedding day, playing an acoustic live lounge set for the drinks reception and 2 sets later in the evening. The dance floor was full all night, and we had so many comments about how good the band were. They played all the songs we asked for and even learnt a song on request just for our day. Tailored Entertainment were also brilliant - professional, quick to respond and very helpful. Would recommend to anyone!Gemma - Wedding, High Billinghurst Farm, Godalming

We had a fantastic evening thanks to the festival sons, the band members were all really friendly and chatty, welcoming and provided fantastic sets which got the party started and going all night. In particular their version of our first dance song was incredible, we have had numerous comments already of people having so much fun thanks to the great band which they couldn’t help dancing to. Hopefully they had (almost) as much fun as we did! Michael & Louise - Wedding, Cranberries Hideaway, Axminster

5/5 - We were so so pleased with the band's performance. They were amazing and received such great feedback from our wedding guests. The lead singer spoke both to myself and my wife before and during the evening to check in that everything was ok. Would highly recommend the Festival Sons to anyone. Thank you so much for ending our special day.Jennifer & Dave - Wedding, Field Place Manor House and Barns, Worthing

When we searched for the best wedding bands, we read a lot of reviews and put a health check on the nice words. However, we absolutely lucked out here. All the reviews can't do them justice in reality. The boys were totally amazing, engaging, so much fun and a lot of our guests now want to hire them! They did a really quiet sound check in the room next door whilst we had the banquet - their set wasn't compromised at all with a noise limiter and performed a truly memorable, bespoke request for a first dance … with a twist. They made the evening and absolutely everyone was up dancing all night. Such lovely professionals - we couldn't have wished for more. Thank you so so much for making our day the best memory ever.Rachel & Ian - Wedding, Dartmouth House, London

The band were incredible, everyone thoroughly enjoyed all the songs, and many of the guests asked how we found them. A great night had by all!Cherrelle - Wedding, Sopley Mill, Dorset

I honestly can't thank you all enough! Pheobe and Erin, from Tailored Entertainment, were utterly fantastic on the lead up to the event and Festival Sons were totally brilliant on the day! Russ, of Festival Sons, turned up nice and early (a man after my own heart! :-)) and was extremely professional and lovely, as were the rest of his band. In terms of performance, they exceeded my already very high expectations (not something I say very often!). I would not hesitate to recommend your agency and indeed the band to anyone, and should the need arise again in the future I will certainly be in touch again.Victoria Wright - Corporate, Pitch Stratford, London
