The Ukes of Hazzard Pricing & Costs
£5,000 - £15,000
Our focus is on giving you peace of mind, and you and your guests the best day of music. Whether that's with our reception-roaming duo right up to our party quartet - our intention is to create smiles throughout, and/or get that dance floor worn out by the end of the night! Our 'Typical Set' is our reception duo which is our most popular option. We also have a party band option too. Each of our packages include 2 x 1hr sets from the band. Each component can be tailored to your requirements - our bands can alter in size to match your budget or venue size, and we can provide music during the ceremony, reception and meal if required, as well as provide a mic for speeches. Ask us about our additional services including our Photo Booth, evening photographer, and ceremony/reception performances. We are professionals with decades of combined experience in delivering the best musical experiences for weddings. We work closely with venues and wedding planners, and are available at all times to discuss your requirements and any questions you may have. We're fully PAT tested, have extensive PLI cover and very adept at performing with sound limiters where they're present - be sure to check with your venue for these as they can occasionally cause issues with the flow of the evening! Having performed for 100's of happy couples you're in safe hands with us - as also trusted by The BBC, Google, Channel 4 and more! Thank you for your consideration - we are only quick message or call away if you need anything. Have fun with all the preparation!

The Ukes of Hazzard Full Description
The Ukes of Hazzard are a brilliant option for drinks receptions owing to our ability to 'roam' and wander through your guests, singing and playing as we go! We can be acoustic (where ultimate freedom is required, or if there are any limitations on outdoor performing), or make use of battery amps. We can and will go anywhere! Both nationwide, and on your big day! Our repertoire is incredibly broad, and the wonderfully quirky and charming nature of the ukulele makes any song sound great! We will make your guests smile and sing along like no other act, guaranteed!

The complete package for our day
We had the Ukes of Hazzard provide all of the music throughout our wedding day, and it was just what we wanted. Their soloist played while guests arrived, and learned our favourite songs for the ceremony too. It was particularly special when my sister was able to sing and perform a duet with them too. We had the trio band for the evening, and our guests had a great time dancing the night away. They learned our first dance, and took it from there. It was really handy having the DJ and their photobooth was great as well. Communicating with Gary and the team was smooth and fast throughout, and we're so happy we found them. A really special part of our day.

Absolute stars!
We booked The Ukes of Hazzard as a surprise for our daughter and her husband to be, and we're so glad we did! They were brilliant and exactly how we envisioned and what we wanted! We had the roaming trio lead everyone from the ceremony to the reception, and it was just fabulous how they played requests for everyone! The roaming aspect was just perfect! A big thanks to Gary and the team and we wish you all the best!

Professional, thoughtful and above all musical
The process of booking and working with The Ukes of Hazzard was very thorough, and we were really grateful for the insight that Gary and Monica gave us prior to booking. The video calls we had were really enlightening and gave us some really useful things to consider to make our day the best it could be. Our venue had a restriction on amplified entertainment outside, but owing to The Ukes' ability to perform acoustically, we were treated to the duo during our ceremony and reception. We couldn't be happier with the experience, and can wholeheartedly recommend them. You're in safe hands, and we look forward to seeing them again soon.

Great evening band
We had the Ukes quartet for our evening package, and they were absolutely brilliant! We had such a good time partying with them, and they had everything covered. The sound and lights were great, and the venue has also commented on how easy they were to work with. A great experience from start to finish, we're absolutely thrilled!

Absolutely magical!
Gary and the Ukes of Hazzard brought such a unique and fun element to our wedding ceremony! They were great! There's something really special about the ukulele, and their songs created a lovely backdrop to our reception. The sing-alongs were a real hit, and everyone commented on how great they were. Thank you again!

Beautiful Ceremony & Reception!
We're so thrilled we went with the Ukes of Hazzard - they made our wedding ceremony unforgettable! They roamed among our guests during our drinks reception too, and we had so many compliments from our guests. Great comms throughout, and we loved their version of Bad Guys from Bugsy Malone!

FAQs
Find out a bit more from our FAQs

What is your most memorable wedding?

Naturally there is something special about every wedding we have performed at, however there are a couple of outliers! Performing on the beautiful Osea Island (a tidal island), accessed initially by boat, and then waiting for the tide to go out for a taxi was definitely interesting! The Roman Baths in Bath was also an incredible venue to perform at!

Describe your style in 5 adjectives.

We are fun, suave, professional, endearing and musically fabulous!

What about your business are you most proud of?

I'm most proud of the joy and fun we consistently inject into people's weddings. The Ukulele is a remarkable instrument, and it's a pleasure to play it and present it to guests, and add something unique to our clients' big day!

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

Don't be afraid to ask your suppliers for advice about their specialty. We're very aware this is likely the first time you're organising an event of this scale of any nature, so we can be on hand to provide insight and ideas on how you can achieve your vision, or even open doors to additional ideas you may not have been aware of! We want to make sure you get value for money, and have the best experience from start to finish, so please make use of us!

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

We've seen some lovely personal touches, including brides/grooms getting up to sing with us, or requesting specific versions of songs for their first dance which they've choreographed. One thing that really stands out was one wedding ceremony having an owl fly down the aisle to present the rings!

Describe your typical process with a couple.

Firstly, thank you for choosing us and trusting us with a small part of your big day! We'll spend time getting to understand your vision for the day and identifying how we fit within it. We'll identify any practical considerations that you may be unaware of and navigate through those. We'll get a feel for the sort of songs and music you like, and ask you to let us know what you like and don't like from a 150+ song list. Song requests are very welcome, so we'll ask for those and learn them in readiness to perform them flawlessly on the day! We'll take contact details for important parties on the day, ask for a copy of the schedule, and look forward to seeing you there!

What makes a romantic first dance?

First dances are incredibly personal, and they don't always have to be romantic. Some of the best first dances are more tongue-in-cheek, or something that's incredibly personal to a couple (that could also happen to be an uptempo heavy rock song!). Some first dances can start as one particular song, and then move into another so you have a romantic slow dance, and then draw guests to the 'floor once the new tune gets everyone in the groove. The most important thing is to make it your own, and unashamedly so! Also, don't worry if you don't want one, either - no one says you have to have one, and we can take care of getting everyone on the dance floor and having a good time!

What is your number one floor-filler?

Mr. Brightside is always a strong candidate for this, however anything that has an anthemic chorus is a winner - things like Dakota (Stereophonics), Don't Look Back in Anger (Oasis), All the Small Things (Blink 182), and Sex on Fire (Kings of Leon) are generally saved to end the night!

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

I would have loved to have been in Led Zeppelin! Music and technology were moving through a fantastic age, and it was a hot bed of creativity, paving the way for much of the music we still listen to and love today!

What is the soundtrack to your life?

There are various albums that really resonate with me and take me back to various times of my life, so it's nice to always revisit those (O by Damien Rice, Parachutes by Coldplay, OK Computer by Radiohead, Crystal Planet by Joe Satriani, Grace by Jeff Buckley and more). Nowadays the soundtrack is more often spa music, as I like to try and relax as I do my admin!
