With a flexible repertoire and expert ability to read a room, the band is committed to making sure your live entertainment is as incredible as possible.

The band performances are completely acoustic, but they do offer an add-on package of playing a “plugged-in” set though a PA.

The Ferrymen are a 4-piece acoustic roaming band.

As standard they perform 2x45 minute unplugged roaming sets or 2x60 minute sets with their PA system.

They are happy to learn your first dance or a special request.

"The Ferrymen were amazing and the perfect fit for our wedding day as they were able to roam around in the sunshine. They created some of the best moments of the day for us and our guests! The song choices were all classics and favourites, known by all of the guests, and the band really helped to inject energy into the day. We had them play during the drinks reception and during our dessert course to help bring the energy up after the meal, and they did an amazing job at interacting with everyone and bringing some added fun to the day! Couldn't be happier with them."

"Wow, The Ferrymen were even better than we hoped/expected! The second we saw their profile we knew they’d be perfect for our wedding and we were delighted when they said they were available. Zach was so easy to communicate with and the whole band were extremely friendly. As soon as they started playing, there was an incredible atmosphere and it didn’t take long before everyone was singing and dancing along. Their energy was infectious. So many of our guests said the band really made the evening and that they had a total blast! Thanks The Ferrymen, you are awesome!"

"What can I say…..absolutely INCREDIBLE! The band were AMAZING, such talented musicians and singers! They played to the crowd, had a fantastic repertoire to suit all ages, they got everyone on their feet dancing (well almost everyone) and were super helpful in changing our set times as dinner ran over! We also booked the sax player for our final hour which everyone loved and such a brilliant way to end our party! Thank you so much, you exceeded expectations and were an absolute pleasure to work with!"

The dance floor was full all night and our friends have all asked for details of the band! Zack was a pleasure to deal with throughout and made the whole process, even for non musical people like us, seamless and easy. Thank you for making our wedding our vision and dream!"

"Dear Zack (and the entire Ferrymen!!), Where do I begin!!!? How do I thank you guys enough!?! SO, SO MUCH FUN! Thank you for being EXACTLY what we had envisioned for our wedding. You were 10/10, one hundred times over! Insanely talented, true professionals and SO good with our audience. You pitched your two sessions perfectly. We only wish we had booked three ;) You have been the most talked about aspect of the wedding! Our guests could not have loved you guys more. From my teenage cousins to my mother! You appealed to everyone and were able to get everyone dancing. I had hoped our 'dinner party' style wedding would end in a little dance, but wow you completely blew it out of the park! I had no way expected every single guest to be dancing until midnight. That would not have happened without you guys. We could not have had more fun, it was the time of my life. Thank you thank you thank you so much. Very best wishes, Danielle & Chris Mason. P.S So sorry I did not thank you all personally on the night. I really wish I had. I blame the excitement of it all and... the spicy margaritas."

"I hired The Ferrymen to play at my wedding. They were amazing and got everyone (which was a fairly international crowd) on the dancefloor in no time! We picked our songs and they came up with the rest. Logistics was also quite straightforward, they just sort of appeared on the day without us having to stress having a million things on our minds being bride and groom. They were also really friendly and smiley with everyone - most of our friends thought they were guests! I highly recommend these guys, Jane."
