Weddings
Your wedding is your special day and we offer a package catered around you and your needs. With every booking we provide a fully personal service including an event coordinator who will be your point of contact from booking until the day of the event.
The event coordinator will liaise with the venue and any other suppliers to ensure your wedding goes without a hitch.
We have an extensive back catalogue of songs for all ages and with enough notice we can also include any specific songs that you may require, e.g. for a first dance.
Options
Most of our clients book us as a 3-piece band, with lighting and state of the art sound system for 2 x 45-minute sets, with background music from a laptop in between sets.
We also have an upgrade package available which includes a DJ – this gives you a host for the evening and someone who is available to take requests between and after the band's sets. Both packages come with a stunning light show and top-of-the-range sound system.
This flexibility has made us a popular pick among Gloucestershire wedding bands, with couples booking everything from the 3-piece line-up to full DJ sets.
So if you're looking for one of the best wedding bands in the South West, look no further!

About Mike (band manager)
Mike plays the guitar and sings in the band. Mike has worked as a musician for several years playing as a solo artist, as part of a duo and with bands. Inspiration for Mike comes not only from the acoustic world but from artists such as Usher, Chris Brown and NeYo.
Although based in the UK, the band can travel across Europe for weddings and events. They have recently been booked on FixTheMusic for weddings in Bordeaux, France.

"The Sidekicks were an excellent addition to our evening! Mike was great in communicating beforehand, and even found us a sax player at very short notice to really add to their sound. Their energy kept our guests dancing through all of their sets and they didn't miss a beat all night. After the event it seemed that we got nothing but rave reviews from our guests for their music, and I can't thank them enough for their part in making our wedding night truly unforgettable!"
"I booked The Sidekicks through FixTheMusic and they were amazing!!! The vocals were on point and the sax was an epic addition - we had such a great time! Mike gave great guidance and advice, which was really helpful with the planning. We had several different moments during our luxe festival inspired day - from acoustic sets, through to the high vibe party - it was unforgettable. Thank you to The Sidekicks for keeping the dance floor full all night. Highly recommended!!"
"Huge thank you to Mike & the Band for playing on our Wedding night at Coombe Lodge. They put on a fantastic show and our wedding party had a great time! Wedding photos definitely show it, everyone loved the song choices and the live set was fantastic! You definitely won’t regret booking them! Big thank you again, Gem & Chris."
"Hello, We just wish to say that we're so glad that we chose you as the entertainment for our wedding. It made the evening so much more special and personal for us. Thank you also for taking the time to learn our first dance song and doing a cracking job with it. Overall, you are a highly professional, polished and personable band. We'll happily give you a glowing reference any time for all occasions. Kindest regards, Claire and John Melrose."
