We couldn’t have wished for a more professional set of lads that were also a great laugh and couldn’t do enough for us.

Absolutely amazing!! From the first call I had with Henry his passion shone through.
Absolutely amazing!! From the first call I had with Henry his passion shone through. I’d been following them on Instagram for a while and was so excited they were available for our wedding! We met Henry and it confirmed we’d had made the right choice… he sang our first dance to us and told us how he would then up the tempo at verse two to get everyone joining in! What a night… they were incredible! And we’ve had sooo many people tell us how amazing our band were! And my 3 year old son was obsessed, he played his little electric guitar along with them until he got blisters and wanted to listen and watch them to the very end! Thank you gentlemen!

All your favourite anthems delivered with insane energy, unique style and a touch of humour.
All your favourite anthems delivered with insane energy, unique style and a touch of humour. If you’re unsure about which band to book for your wedding - go see these guys live (they do occasional showcases evenings). You will be blown away. We’ve seen them at 5-6 subsequent weddings following on from performing at our own wedding. The moment you learn SouthWest Band are on, it’s like learning your favourite band are headlining tonight. Go check out their ever expanding repertoire & get to a showcase gig. They book up months in advance so book early to ensure your wedding ends on the highest of highs.

3 months on, guests are still telling us what a great time they had and how brilliant the band were.
We booked SWB off a recommendation from our venue and they did not disappoint! High energy from start to finish, they ensured the dance floor was full, everyone had a great time dancing the night away and 3 months on, guests are still telling us what a great time they had and how brilliant the band were. We would highly recommend booking SWB for your wedding. You can be certain that the atmosphere would never fall flat and everyone would have a fab time. Got our tickets booked for their Leeds gig for my birthday weekend and we can’t wait.

Everyone commented afterwards on the great atmosphere of having a live band. Highly recommend!
Southwest were the second wedding thing we booked only second to the venue! We knew we wanted them from the start and they didn’t disappoint. The dance floor was packed, it felt like a personal gig and their medley song was epic! We are so grateful to the band for a fabulous night and everyone commented afterwards on the great atmosphere of having a live band. Highly recommend!

The main comment from all the guests at the end of the night was how great the band had been.
I'd heard really good things about South West Band and I was not disappointed. I hired the band for my wedding in July in Beverley. They were so organised, punctual and really friendly. They played so well and got everyone up on the dance floor. The main comment from all the guests at the end of the night was how great the band had been. Would 10/10 recommend, thank you so much!

They were the second most complimented part of the day, just after the Bride!
We booked South West Band for our wedding and they were absolutely amazing. They were the second most complimented part of the day, just after the Bride! The atmosphere was brilliant and they had everybody up dancing. They're really talented and they smashed every song they played, including a great mashup towards the end of the night. Their repertoire is really varied, so all of the guests got to listen to stuff that they loved. We also got them to DJ throughout the night as well as performing live, and they did a great job at that as well. Regardless of whatever else you want to do for your wedding, book South West Band.

So many of our guests said how amazing they were! Thanks guys!
We've seen Southwest Band at other events and we didn't hesitate to book them for ours. They were full of energy, picked a great selections of songs and really ensured everyone wanted to stay on the dancefloor! It was also great to see all the short clips they took of our evening too. So many of our guests said how amazing they were! Thanks guys! x

If I could give them 10000000 stars I would. If you planning a wedding or event then book south west band!
If I could give them 10000000 stars I would. We booked South West Band for our wedding in August 23 on the recommendation of our wedding coordinator and they did not disappoint! They were brilliant from start to finish. Everyone was up dancing for the sets, and they just projected so much energy, charisma, passion and fun the whole night through. Everyone at the wedding (even the venue staff) could not stop telling us how good they were! We had a 4 piece band and DJ sets in-between, they played such a variety of songs and there really was something for everyone. If you planning a wedding or event then book south west band!!!!!

FAQs
Find out a bit more from our FAQs

What is your most memorable wedding?

It would be unfair to answer this question. There have been countless incredible weddings through-out our career.

Describe your style in 5 adjectives.

Energetic, Confident, Experienced, Versatile, Dedicated.

What about your business are you most proud of?

Coming out of the Covid 19 pandemic 2021 and performing a typical years worth of events in 5 months!

What is your No. 1 wedding planning tip for couples?

Try and choose a venue without sound or early curfew limitations, good acoustics & a good layout for a party (which is typically when everything is together in the same room). Also, line up a couple of other important parts of your wedding (I.E music, food etc), check all availability, and then book those on the same day you book the venue!

What is your favourite personal touch you have seen at a wedding?

Always love to see when a client puts a guest beer on draft :)

Describe your typical process with a couple.

Always a phone call. In 5 minutes you can provide the couple with so much useful information which they can use whether they decide to book the band or not. We talk through repertoire, timings, first dance, booking options, available add ons such as acoustic afternoon music, deposit and payments. Once the booking is made the couple spend the following months getting excited for their big day, choosing their favourite songs for the evening as well as a first dance (if they are having one) Closer to the time the timings are worked out, the final balance is paid and the PLI and PAT testing documents are emailed to the venue.

What makes a romantic first dance?

Choosing a song that matters to YOU. However, a lot fo people don't want a romantic first dance per-say. A great idea to have the first minute or so where it is just the couple, a guitar and voice. Then after say a verse and a chorus, a drum fill brings in the rest of the band and that is the sign for the audience to join in and begin the party.

What is your number one floor-filler?

It completely depends on who you are performing for! We have songs in what we like to call the ‘S tier’. These aren’t necessarily all songs we love but they will guarantee a full dancefloor 99% of the time 😁 For example Proud Mary or Mr Brightside. However we put our own exciting spin on these to make them more exiting to play 😅 However when we can drop 00’s rock & pop punk and see the place explode… that is when we are truly in our element 🤘🏻

Which band from the past would you most like to have been part of?

We all have slightly different tastes so this is in-answerable!

What is the soundtrack to your life?

Who writes these questions? haha
