YES (but then we’re biased lol) and we would love to play at your wedding! Congrats on getting engaged by the way! We like to keep things simple, and talk straight – it’s hard to put your thoughts in print without waffling on and on, but we’ll try our best to keep to the point and only talk about how we can really help you have a fantastic wedding reception!

We find that a lot of people try to use sophisticated lingo, and a relentless amount of ‘copycat’ information to make you think they are the best choice – all the words on here are our thoughts, and ours alone! For example, the majority of bands and DJs seem to say ‘that they have state of the art sound and lighting equipment’ (when in reality not everyone does!) or ‘we guarantee a packed dance floor’ without the facts or experience to back their claims up. We aim to provide honest and factual descriptions of what we do, and why we think we can help you enjoy your wedding day. (by the way, we do have really great gear, in fact one of the best sound systems available to buy anywhere – Rod used to sell this type of gear to a lot of bands, and insisted that Juice needed the highest quality rig that we could find – he’s too fussy for his own good! lol)

Lets start with the basics… first and foremost, we are a Wedding Band! (just in case that wasn’t obvious lol). That may sound like a strange statement, but we feel it’s a very important point to mention. In our opinion, weddings are totally different to any other type of gig or function, as it’s your special day and your band or DJ has to try and help you end it in a special way. We get the simple fact that we’re playing at your wedding, and that’s one of the most important days of your lives (something that is often forgotten). It’s not just another day at the office for us, and we are always there to suit you, along with your family and friends. We specialise in weddings, and don’t spend half of the year playing in bars and clubs – we play weddings every week of every month of the year (excluding when we take time of for holidays obviously!). Not a lot of bands can say that…

Regardless of musical ability, we feel the most important skill for any wedding band to have is the ability (and desire) to ‘read’ the crowd. There are loads of great bands throughout Northern Ireland that will sound fantastic in a bar or club, but will fail miserably at a wedding because they don’t have this fundamental skill. You need to be sure that your band doesn’t play a predefined setlist – what works one night will most certainly not work the next, as wedding crowds don’t have a typical demographic! Anybody can fluke a good night just by having a crowd that suits them, we simply aim to suit the crowd! If you’re reading this then you’re either getting married or thinking about it, so surely you want to be considering a band who have a consistent track record? We have entertained tens of thousands of people at hundreds of weddings and won numerous awards – how many other wedding bands in Northern Ireland can say that??

Well, the honest answer is no! (bet that surprised you! lol) We have a very consistent record of filling dance floors at weddings throughout Northern Ireland and beyond (our awards and fantastic customer reviews are testament to this), and to be honest we don’t think many bands are as consistent as us in this area. However, we do get the occasional night where things can take a while to get going, or the crowd don’t really dance much! Thankfully this doesn’t happen much, and even the quietest crowds still dance a bit – we never stop trying, and generally will get a crowd dancing eventually. We think you would need to question anybody who guarantees a packed dance floor! As we play such a wide range of music, we’re able to cater for a lot of tastes, and will try every style of music until we get a reaction. Maybe we’re too fussy, but we like to see the dance floor full, and people jumping round enjoying themselves (and maybe dancing too!). We’re pretty confident that, if you have a crowd that wants to dance, then we’ll get them sussed and get them dancing – all night!

Short answer – anywhere!! We have no limits as to where we will travel (providing we are free of course!), but there obviously would be additional costs incurred. We have played at weddings all over Ireland (from Donegal to Wexford), and have also played at weddings in the mainland UK too. We also been asked to play at weddings in mainland Europe and around the Mediterranean, but unfortunately we’ve been already booked on these occasions :0( We’re aiming to hopefully to play at a wedding in the sun someday!! (if anybody wants to pay our expenses and take us to Vegas, we might even do it for free!! ha ha) We don’t charge a travel fee for anywhere in Northern Ireland and a lot of the border county areas. If you’re planning a wedding outside the North, then please feel free to contact us and we can work out what extra costs would be involved.

That’s not really a question that we can answer! We work hard at what we do and try our best every night that we play, but ultimately music is all down to personal taste and you have to decide whether or not you like what we do. All of information in the other sections above is factual and not down to different interpretation, whereas any band’s sound can be appreciated in many ways (or not!) by different people. The best thing we can recommend is to watch our live videos and read our customer’s comments. We would like to point out that the videos are totally live, and the audio hasn’t been enhanced in any way.

If anything the videos are drastically under produced, as the only device to record our sound was a single microphone on the main video camera! We took this approach, as we wanted to try and reproduce a sound that was actually close to what is heard in the room when we’re playing. To use a lot of post production techniques ,while sounding better (some bands even use studio recordings with overdubbed crowd noise!!), would not achieve this result – we’re not here to fool people into booking us for the wrong reasons. A lot of people have commented that we sound a lot better live, but again that’s not for us to comment on!! lol If you want to know what other people think, then we’re very lucky to have received loads of great comments – in particular take a look at the ridiculous amount of facebook comments that we’ve received, we’re amazed that so many people have taken the time to say such nice things about our work!

If you want a band that genuinely will try to make your night as special as you feel it should be, then we should definitely be on your short-list! We strive for a busy dance floor every night we play, and really what else do you want? However, we haven’t put this site online to do the ‘hard sell’ – far from it, we just want it to be factual and informative. If you have clear and concise information about what we offer, then you can confidently make a decision about whether or not you think we can help you and your guests have a great time at your wedding! At the end of the day we also want to have a great night, and this won’t happen if we try to ‘bend’ the truth to our advantage – so we only want you to book us for the right reasons!

We don’t forget about the essential things that most people take for granted, and all the little things really do make a difference. We’re always polite both on & off the microphone, always well dressed, always setup quickly & efficently, and always considerate & helpful to any other suppliers that are there (such as videographers, photo booths, dancers, etc). – which in turn helps the everything run smoother. Essentially, we’re extremely professional and relaxed to deal with, which in turn means that you never have to get stressed out about what should be the most relaxed and best part of your wedding day – your evening reception!
