Nothing was too much for Henry and the boys at our Wedding Blessing even after a 2 year delay due to the pandemic. Highly professional, knowledgeable and bloody fantastic performers so much so we heard them on BBC Radio 2 with Zoe Ball just a few weeks later. Would highly recommend SWB!

Simply the best in the business! Henry and the guys made our wedding the best experience possible. Our guests all said it was like being at a gig rather than a wedding party which was just what we'd hoped for. A fabulous show and the nicest guys you could hope to deal with!

100% recommended! Do not hesitate to book this band - stop searching now as you have found the band for your wedding! Southwest Band recently played at our wedding in Suffolk and they were fantastic. Everyone was blown away by their talent, song selection and rapport with the crowd. The communication on the run up to the booking date was excellent. We look forward to seeing you again in the future. Thank you guys! 5*

As a wedding coordinator I've had the pleasure of working alongside these guys on many occasions. Highly talented and always ensure the party is a memorable one. Also each band member is friendly, professional and very accommodating when it comes to wedding plans. Would recommend any couple looking for one of the best wedding bands out there to book these guys.

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!

Wedding -- Beverley Barn, East Yorkshire
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!

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
