Funky Fresh operates using a very small pool of no-compromise musicians, who are the best in France for this show and at the top of their game. This means that the act may not have all members from promotional footage. The set list is indicative only and will vary according to the singer.
"We had Funky Fresh play at our wedding in Chateau Rigaud in Bordeaux in September. They were absolutely brilliant and so talented and professional. I couldn’t recommend them more. Countless guests have since texted us to compliment them. They were able to do a set for a chill cocktail terrace reception and also got the entire party on the dance floor in the evening. Absolutely exceptional musicians. Their DJ was also excellent, catering to our slightly weird Irish tastes! They were so easy to communicate with, and even came 2 hours early so our friends who were playing during our ceremony could borrow their sound kit. Just the best, thanks so much guys!"
"The band was very communicative and easy to work with. Arrived on time and adapted to timings and last minute changes! They adapted to the couple's taste and everyone had a very fun night with a packed dance floor!"

Music and vocals were amazing, the band were so good that they had the entire wedding party dancing all night long, even through the sound check!

They truly have our heartfelt gratitude and have given our wedding party a night of wonderful memories that will last a lifetime. Thank you so much :)"

"I do not know where to start! Funky Fresh were simply outstanding. We had them for 3 roaming sets during our wedding dinner, a 2 hour live band set with the DJ and the next day DJ and Sax at our pool party. The whole band is SO SO talented, the energy and atmosphere they created was everything I dreamed of. Every single guest came up to us and commented how amazing Funky Fresh were, they filled the dance floor all night, we had people up dancing during our wedding dinner - some guests even asked if they would travel to the UK to play at their own weddings. Damien was fantastic at responding on the lead up and took all our requests into account. THANK YOU A MILLION TIMES OVER! Our wedding wouldn't have been the same without you all as our band."

Additionally, they surprised us by substituting four very enjoyable French songs in their setlist. All in all, it was an excellent experience. Highly recommended! Thanks so much! Looking forward to future collaborations!"

We asked for the saxophonist to play during the reception when were having champagne and canapés, and when we walked onto the balcony the whole band was playing!! They were amazing in the evening, the dance floor was FULL! The DJ went on until the early hours, played exactly what we asked for, and was more than happy to take requests!

We struggled finding a band who would suit an international party but in France, but fell in love with Funky Fresh as soon as we saw their videos - we booked for a predominantly Irish and English wedding.

We absolutely loved them and would highly recommend Funky Fresh!"
