"We booked The Mad Socks to play at our wedding in Italy. They were absolutely first class, high energy, they had everyone up on their feet. They led our guests around the venue so smoothly and every single guest wanted to know where we found them! I'm already looking for an excuse to fly them to the UK! They were outstanding and really made our day spectacular. You will not find a better, more uplifting band and such lovely guys too! Mad Socks - thank you for contributing to the most magical day of our lives xx"

Verified booking on FixTheMusic"WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW! Guaranteed the first thing that anyone says to us when chatting about our wedding day is… “how good were your band?” We booked The Mad Socks for our wedding and they were unbelievable, the dance floor was full the entire night and the music was perfect for what the guests wanted. They arrived well in time, had everything set up without anyone noticing and took our evening party to the next level! They even learnt a new song for us that we love, thank you! We also had the DJ set with saxophone which went down an absolute treat!! We would say, if you’re undecided whether to book, definitely do it, it’s the one decision we are so glad we made. Thank you, Gemma and Hayley xx"
