Hello
"Festival Beats were everything we hoped they would be and more. We spent a long time watching videos of bands for our wedding and were so excited when we found you. In the end you were even better than we had imagined. Everything from communications before the day, interaction with guests during your breaks and of course your live performance was perfect. We had so many people tell us that the band were the best they have ever seen at a wedding and we completely agree. We loved every second! Thank you again and all the best, Tom and Joanna."
Verified booking on FixTheMusic"Could you please pass on, that Alex and I would like to say a massive thank you to the band for the amazing entertainment they gave us and our guests at our wedding on Saturday. We have had so many compliments. Especially about the rapping! Thanks again."
Verified booking on FixTheMusic"I just wanted to send you a few words of thanks to pass on to Festival Beats. It's two weeks since the wedding and I'm still hearing from people about how brilliant they were. I know they stepped in at relatively short notice but no one guessed. In fact, my now brother-in-law managed to have a 5 minute practice with them during the speeches, so he could sing Hallelujah with them for my wife and me. Really, they were very kind to let him do that and to play a few extra songs when the crowd were begging them not to stop at the end. I'll be selling them to every fiancé I know for a long while, in the selfish hope that I'll see them play again."
Verified booking on FixTheMusic"These guys were epic! Everyone absolutely loved the music and have been raving about it since. They read the room perfectly and kept everyone going. They performed our first dance song spectacularly and the medleys were amazing! Loved every minute of their performance and sad we won’t see them play again, unless they play at a friend's wedding in the future 🙏 Couldn’t recommend more. Thank you, thank you, thank you!"

About Festival Beats – professional covers band based in Surrey
Festival Beats are a 5 piece folk and pop band made up of female vocals, drums, guitar, bass/double bass and keyboard, as well as backing vocals.
Their versatility, enthusiasm and fun nature are making them a huge hit at festival style weddings throughout the UK.
We're listed on FixTheMusic's Best Wedding Bands in Surrey 🏆
We're regularly booked to perform for weddings and events at Ham Polo Club in Richmond and St Tewdrics House in Chepstow, UK.
One of the great things about Festival Beats is that they offer two very different styles of music, which can add a little bit of variety and excitement to your event!
View our list of the UK's best Mumford-style wedding bands ➡️
Their folky or "Mumford & Sons" style, sees them switch up the standard electric instruments for their acoustic counterparts.
In their folk sets they play songs by some of the world's most popular modern folk bands, such as Mumford and Sons and the Lumineers, but also introduce some unexpected songs with a whole new style.
Here are just some of the locations where we have been booked by clients on FixTheMusic for weddings and events,...
They offer a unique twist on pop tunes with their own folk style using a line-up of double bass, keys, acoustic guitars, drums and female vocals.
Their set list is tried and tested and is sure to get your guests up and dancing. Festival Beats are ideal if you are having a festival wedding, or if you’re just looking for a band that can bring the fun!
Festival Beats offer more live music as standard than most bands out there, with 3 x 45-minute sets. These can be split into styles as you wish, so 1 set of folk and 2 sets electric or vice versa.
However, if you want even more music than that just let us know as the band can usually accommodate at an additional fee. Here is what the band will offer in a standard quote:
If you are also looking for extra entertainment for your ceremony, drinks reception, photo hour or wedding breakfast then just let us know and we can do you a bit of a deal.
The band also has a good selection of garage, 90s and RnB songs in their repertoire.
The band's folk style set would be perfect for afternoon entertainment, but they can also provide an additional jazz set which works excellently as background music.
The Musicians
The band originally met while studying at the Academy Of Contemporary Music in Guildford.
Since then they have worked separately on various projects, including theatre productions such as Singing in The Rain, playing festivals such as Camp Bestival, performing on live radio, and touring Europe with original bands.
Between them, they have a wealth of experience which is clear to see when you watch them perform.
The band has recently been booked on FixTheMusic for weddings at Old Luxters Barn in Oxfordshire and the Ham Polo Club in Richmond, London.
So if you're looking to hire the finest festival/folk style wedding band the UK has to offer, get in touch with Festival Beats.
