"From start to finish these guys were simply fantastic.
Zack was a pleasure to deal they arrived on time & even after a long journey to the venue they e entertained our guests perfectly everybody commented on how fantastic they were they even learnt a special song for me. I could not recommend them enough and I hope to have another party in the future so I can book them again. Thank you so much. You were just amazing."
"The Ferrymen were incredible, all of our guests were wowed by the band and said they were the best part of our day. Everybody was up dancing before our food had even been served. Incredible and would recommend 10000x over!!"
"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."
"The Ferrymen were OUTSTANDING!! They created the perfect vibe for our wedding reception and everyone commented on how great they were and what fun it was. If we ever plan a future event we would hope to re-book the Ferrymen 100%. Thank you for being so great at our wedding!"
"I've booked this band twice recently and both times they've had the audience dancing and singing along. They sound great and are lovely to work with."
"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!"
"Out of this world! The Ferrymen played at our wedding and they definitely got the party started with everyone singing and dancing! We couldn't have asked for a better bunch of people to have for our daytime entertainment. The songs were varied to suit all of our guests and the planning and run up to the event ran really smoothly - thank you so much!!"
"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!"
"We hired The Ferrymen for our wedding in Yorkshire on the 3rd of May 2024. They were amazing and the band was a total highlight! 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!"
"Hi Zack, So sorry for our delay in getting back to you! We’ve had a bonkers few months. Ahh what a day! We’ve had so so so many compliments on you guys and lots of people asking for your details :) it was just perfect and we couldn’t have asked for better music, atmosphere etc - you guys absolutely nailed it. All the best, Gracie & Tom."
"We hired The Ferrymen to perform at our wedding and I have to say the band were amazing! The level of musicianship was second to none and they had us and our guests on the dance floor all night long! I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone. Thanks to Zack in particular for making sure our evening went without a hitch!"
"They were absolutely brilliant! The response ahead of the event was fast, super flexible and on the night of the party they entertained our team! Team absolutely loved them, brought great energy to the evening, getting the crowd involved, couldn't have asked for more. Thank you so much"
"Hello! I realised we never said THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! You lot absolutely 100% nailed it! We are both so so happy with the glorious soundtrack you provided for our party 😍 The music was amazing, and the energy you all brought was incredible. We knew it was going to be good, but had no idea it would be that good! You got the party started in ways we could never have imagined! Everyone had the best time dancing to your sound, we could not have wished for more. Videos have started to come through, and we’ll be sure to send them over! There aren’t words for how grateful we are, just thank you thank you thank you!!!"
"Literally made our wedding day. Thank you so much for the best day ever. You HAVE to book the Ferrymen. Communication was excellent before and on the evening they got the party started and we’re a pleasure to have as our guests. Thank you so much. Lots of photos and videos from guests to share with you, everyone loved you! Amber and Lee Graham"
"Hi guys, Just want to say the biggest thank you for Saturday! Gutted to have missed you myself but feedback from my team and the client was fantastic, so thank you so much. Hope to work with you again in the future. Freya."
"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."
"Hi Zack, I just wanted to drop a note to say a massive thanks for yesterday. You guys sounded superb, really lifted the atmosphere, and were loved by the guests. Thanks again, Alex."
"These lads played my wedding and they were nothing short of phenomenal. Can’t recommend them highly enough. Thanks again, chaps."
"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."
"Hi Zack, Thank you so much for Saturday! Everyone had an amazing time and loved you guys! We will be sure to send you some pictures & videos when we get them through. Thank you again!!! Alex."
