Stardust é una band degna di note e di storia. Una storia che nasce nel 2007 da un'energia che s'incontró e si amó fin dal primo momento.
Da un'idea di Alex Spadavecchia, di ritorno dalle streets del sound londinese, l'attuale formazione inizia a muovere i passi nell'entroterra pugliese dal 2007, coinvolgendo fino ad oggi anime e corpi di folle on the road con esperimenti live soul/pop/rock.
L'incontro e' stato disegnato da un istinto andato a buon fine: Alex, Nico, Saverio, Bufi. Just a friend e' il titolo del primo singolo con il quale si apre il sipario del palcoscenico del tempio di una band in continua evoluzione. In attesa del primo album dedicato ad ognuno di noi.
Tempo, cambiamento, amore andato, amore ricercato, amicizia.
E' qui il mondo, in un cd dove la vita si incastra e si libera, tra le righe di un gruppo che invoca la scelta di dare valore a quello che conta: un sorriso che abbonda e si schiude adesso, un sentimento che rischia di unire elementi diversi per farli diventare perfetti, armonici, matematicamente perfetti, tra passato e presente, a sud, lontano da qualcuno, da un qualcosa che siamo noi tutti.
Infondo la vita cos'è se non una sommatoria di ricordi e di speranze divise su milioni di persone?
"Stardust was absolutely fantastic! We travelled from Chicago to have our wedding in Puglia at Tenuta Pinto. Alex and his team were communicative, responsive, and accommodating throughout the entire process. They set up at the venue early and were ready to go for every part of our wedding. Their positive fun energy was felt from the very first song. Many guests were complimenting on how great they sounded throughout the evening, and couldn't agree more. I am a firm believer that music can make or break the wedding experience, and Stardust definitely made our wedding an unforgettable great time. Thank you Stardust!"
"Absolutely amazing experience with Stardust, this band are Incredible! From the moment they started playing, they transformed our wedding into an unforgettable celebration. We had Stardust do our ceremony, aperitif, evening music, and DJ - everything was just amazing. Their repertoire was perfect, the band's talent is exceptional; each member is incredibly skilled and brought such passion to their performance. They’re also such a lovely group of people, so friendly and warm and great to deal with. From the minute the band started, the dancefloor was full, the guests didn’t want their session to end. Then the DJ came on and played tune after tune and guests didn’t leave the dancefloor until he played his last song! Communication leading up to the big day was top-notch, ensuring all our preferences were considered. All of our guests were raving about how good the music was. If you’re looking for a wedding band that will elevate your event and leave your guests raving, then you HAVE to book Stardust. We couldn’t be happier with our choice and would recommend them to anyone looking for a fun and unforgettable night! Wish we could do it all again. Thank you, Stardust, for making our day so much fun! Amy and Andy x"
"From the moment we had our first call with Alex we knew we had made the best decision. Alex put us straight at ease with his kind manner and expertise on how to throw a good wedding party! Alex and the band went above and beyond for us; from the ceremony, aperitif and after party. We wish we could relive the whole thing over again. So many guests have also commented on how amazing they were! 10/10 would recommend to anyone! Stardust, if you’re ever in NZ come visit us!!!"
"We were lucky enough to book Stardust as our wedding band in Corato. They were sensational. Having listened to many of their samples on the website before booking, we already knew they were a great band but their performance exceeded our expectations! We had Stardust do our ceremony, aperitif, evening music, and DJ - everything was just amazing. The voice, the vibe, the dancefloor. I cannot thank them enough. If you are thinking of booking them I would highly highly recommend them!"
"The most incredible band! Better than I could have ever imagined for our wedding day! Firstly they are so professional and extremely friendly. They played Baby Shark for my 3 year old and made her day! Alex was so lovely and has the most incredible voice. Our guests were gobsmacked by how amazing they were. Honestly couldn’t recommend enough! They made our wedding day that extra bit special and amazing! Thank you so much!"
"Being English, and doing a destination wedding in Italy, myself and my wife were nervous about choosing a band for us and our guests to enjoy. Communication with Stardust was super easy and they were always very quick to reply. They arrived on the big day and set up without needing anything from us. Everything was so easy and simple, and no request was ever too much. The band was amazing and their speaker and lighting set up was top notch and really set the mood. As soon as they kicked off their set, all our guests and ourselves included were up and on our feet and no one sat down until they ended. They really were incredible and so many of our guests complimented them and their music. They made our wedding so much fun, Alex and co thank you so much. We really can't thank you enough for making our day so spectacular."
"Stardust were amazing! We could not have asked for a better band at our wedding. Not only was the music and singing incredible but they made sure to carry the party on till late into the night. They were happy to accommodate any specific requests or any wants from the setlist. Alex and the band were simply the best."
"Perfect performance! It is really not easy to drive so many hours but still a high-level performance which lit up the whole night. Especially the two Chinese songs which were very professional and amazing. Thanks to Alex, thanks to all. Hope to book you again one day!"
"Oh my goodness, this band was INCREDIBLE!!!!!! Do not even hesitate in booking Stardust, they blew all of our guests’ minds with their unbelievable talent and no one can stop talking about how fantastic they were! Alex’s voice was exceptional, the band were just awesome and the DJ set was perfection. I was, and still am, overwhelmed by their talent and I feel so lucky that we had them for our wedding day. They kept up amazing energy all day from start to finish and made sure we all had the best time. They were on time and so professional and throughout the whole process from start to finish they were so accommodating and extremely responsive to our messages and questions making us feel a priority at all times. Beyond their incredible talent they are also just wonderful people who you would absolutely want with you on the best day of your life. Thank you for making our dreams come true for our big day, we cannot thank you enough!! Anna & Duncan x"
"Stardust were one of the most important elements of our wedding and as we were getting married in Italy we wanted to be confident that the band would meet our expectations as it was difficult for us to see them live. We met Alex and Stardust 5 months before to discuss our music requirements and nothing seemed to be a problem and we went away feeling very secure in the knowledge that everything was taken care of. Stardust gave us a brilliant performance on the night, musically they are first class. Couldn’t fault them at all. We couldn’t believe that even the non-dancers were dancing and that's some achievement. Our guests were so impressed with them and we would highly recommend them for any function. FixTheMusic were brilliant with their administration and made the booking process very easy and I felt very assured that I was dealing with a very professional company."
"Phenomenal!! From start to finish you had the crowd going!! Played a wide variety of music and boy did you please everyone! Everyone was up dancing and had the best time. Everyone is still talking about you. Will defo book again!!"
"Eccezionali, professionali e simpatici! Attenti ai nostri gusti musicali. Voce stupenda di Alex. Bellissima l'esibizione al piano durante la confettata. Bravissimo anche il DJ. Grazie a loro tutti gli ospiti si sono divertiti e si sono trattenuti fini alla fine! Abbiamo ricevuto un sacco di complimenti."
"Un gruppo eccezionale! I più bei ricordi del mio matrimonio sono legati alla loro musica... Professionali, disponibili, presenti, bravissimi. Io e mio marito li abbiamo adorati dal primo momento. Sceglierei loro altre mille volte."
"Hi Ed and Zazie, I've been meaning to email you about Alex and Stardust for quite some time now. Among all the bands we've booked through you in 2023 and 2022, they have been the best. They were exceedingly professional, flexible, and incredibly talented. Managing the wedding wasn't easy, but they maintained a positive attitude and showed great understanding throughout. Alex's vocal prowess was outstanding, and the DJ, along with the entire band, was fantastic. Without a doubt, I would highly recommend them for any type of wedding. Best, Mariana (wedding planner)."
"Dear Alex, so sorry this is long overdue but we were enjoying the peace of our honeymoon in Sicily! I hope you guys are well and have been busy rocking the dance floor at other weddings. We wanted to thank you guys so much for an AMAZING dance floor...you guys owned it and made the party amazing. So many people have asked us about you guys and how we found you!! Everyone loved you :) and more importantly so did we! It was such a shame that we had to finish at 4, we could have gone on all night!! You guys deserve so much to be made known - not that you need it but we want to wish you all the luck in the world for you and your band, you'll go far. Thanks again for making our night so amazing, we honestly couldn't have been happier!! Sam & Henrik xxx"
"We booked Stardust for our wedding and man did we make the perfect choice! There were a lot of musicians at the wedding so the band had to be good. I can tell you that not only did Stardust create a perfect atmosphere for the day and for the party, they are also masters of their instruments. So everybody had an amazing time! The singer's voice and range is honestly suited for any style of music, so whatever music you like will sound great when Stardust is playing it. At the end of the night they let a few guests play on their instruments, which they didn't have to do but it was really fun! I've checked the internet for the best wedding bands in Italy and apart from the class and vibe of Stardust they were also a great choice for price/quantity. Not only did they perform at the party, they brought a DJ to fill up the breaks and they even provided music throughout the day for stuff like the ceremony. And last, there is the fact that they were all nice guys, willing to be flexible with last-minute changes and great to hang out with. So if you're looking for an awesome band in Italy, you have to book these guys!"
"The absolute best, don’t think twice! We can’t say enough good things about Stardust, they were the highlight of the night and made our wedding so memorable. My husband who is a huge rock fan and music enthusiast kept saying how amazing Alex’s voice was. Our wedding was 3 weeks ago and we’re still getting compliments on this amazing band. They were gracious enough to even learn new songs for us. Thank you so much Alex and team for helping our dream wedding come true, you guys knocked it out of the park with such an amazing show. We wish you all the success!"
"Stardust performed on a yacht for a birthday celebration and the whole experience was fantastic! All the guests were blown away by the quality of their performance and had so much fun throughout. They have a wide range of music for every taste - and with a DJ included, they kept the party going late into the night. I would definitely have them back again and would recommend them to anyone. They were on time, very friendly and respectful to the guests and their surroundings as it was their first performance onboard a yacht. A very memorable night. The FixTheMusic platform is so easy to use and finds you exactly what you are looking for. The payment process was easy and assuring. Great product."
"Best wedding band I have ever heard - we came over to Polignano from Ireland and we were not disappointed. Thank you Stardust 🇮🇪"
"Alex and the band were all fantastic! We hired Stardust for our wedding in September 2023 - we had them play from the ceremony, after dinner and a DJ till late. They were super flexible with the songs that we wanted to play at our ceremony and our first dance (they even learnt new songs for us). The DJ was fantastic too and played all our favourite songs. The guests did not stop dancing and everyone had a great time. Fully recommend Stardust, professional, flexible and had a wide range of songs. Thank you Alex and the team!"
"Brilliant from start to finish! They kept everyone entertained from the ceremony to the early hours, the dance floor was never empty! Great guys with incredible talent! Thanks so much, you made our wedding 😊"
"Stardust were an incredible band for our wedding. Our dance floor was packed for the whole evening and there was not a single song which we didn't love. We also booked a saxophonist who played alongside the DJ, which was an amazing touch. Flawless mixing from band to DJ too! 5 stars, could not recommend them more! Thank you for everything!"
"Stardust really made our wedding. They were responsive in the build up and provided everything we wanted. The music and atmosphere they created really got the party started and then kept it going right until the end. Thanks so much guys."
"Hello! All of our guests raved about Stardust, and many of them even said they are the best cover band they have ever seen! First, Alex was super responsive when I first enquired and provided me with all the details. It was so easy to work with him! They played at our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception and were such professionals. Also, our dance floor was full the entire time and the energy was great throughout the night, which was super important to us. I cannot recommend Stardust more; they made our wedding day so memorable. Thank you Alex! Warm Regards, Tiffany."
"Good morning Alex and team, We hope you're well and enjoyed the rest of your weddings this weekend! Just a quick note to THANK YOU so much for being the most incredible band for our wedding. The dance floor was full the whole time and every song was absolutely brilliant! The dance floor was what we were most looking forward to on our wedding days and you did not disappoint! Our original band cancelled just before we contacted you, and we're so happy they cancelled and we found you! All the best, Alex & Rob Kane x."
"Dear Alex, Marina (and the rest of the band), We wanted to drop you a quick message to say a huge thank you for making our wedding day (Saturday 13 May) so special. All of our guests were really impressed by your performances. Marina and Saverio's rendition of Kissing You and Waiting for a Star to Fall at the ceremony were absolutely beautiful - despite the awful weather, they made the setting perfect! We both really regret that we did not get more time to speak to you on the actual day. Unfortunately due to the weather and traffic delays, the day just seemed to fly by. We were absolutely thrilled with your set - we only wish you could have played for longer! We really cannot thank you enough for everything - you were extremely accommodating and made our day even more memorable. Please let us know where we can write a glowing review to express our gratitude. It was a pleasure working with you and we would not hesitate to recommend your band. Kind regards, Catherine and Adam Smith."
"Stardust were ace. They were great leading up to our wedding when organising our set list and performed our first dance even though it wasn't on their playlist. So many people have since commented on how good they were - I think they'll be playing at our friend's wedding one day! Seriously can't recommend these guys highly enough!"
"Il miglior gruppo che ho mai visto ad un matrimonio. Sono stati in grado far divertire davvero tutti gli invitati al punto che la maggior parte sono rimasti fino alla fine dell'after. La coesione del gruppo è incomparabile ed il cantante, Alex, ha una voce unica nel suo genere. Futuri sposi, se non avete ancora scelto il gruppo musicale per il vostro matrimonio, scegliete gli Stardust e vi assicuro che non ve ne pentirete."
"Stardust played at our wedding in September - we couldn't be happier! They were a delight to work with and their performance was fantastic. They were responsive in the lead up to the event - happy to take a few song requests and to understand how we wanted to personalise the event. They arrived with plenty of time to spare on the day and were very pleasant to talk to. They performed three songs during the ceremony, played background songs during the aperitivo, then played a 2hr live set after dinner followed by a DJ set. Alex's voice is incredible, as many guests commented on during the aperitivo, and the whole band played really well. They brought great energy to the after-dinner set, which made it an unforgettable dancefloor session - younger and older guests alike kept dancing till the lights came on! A huge thank you to the whole band for creating great memories for us. Multiple people asked me for their details the next day, hoping to book them for their own weddings."
"Right from the moment we met Alex, 4 months before our wedding, we clicked straight away and from that point we had no doubts about the band and the music. What we weren’t prepared for was simply how good they were, close your eyes and you couldn’t tell the difference between the live performance and a record. There were no gaps or chat between songs or between the live performance and the disco - seamless. It was all about the party and having a good time. All our guests were up dancing the whole time and remarks like ‘Best cover band I have ever heard’ was said more than once. If you want to have a great party with great music you will not go wrong if you book Stardust. Simply amazing. Thank you Alex and the band members and Vincenzo the DJ."
"This band are AMAZING! We were not sure what to do about a band for our wedding, as we come from England and did not know any good bands in Italy. Our wedding planner recommended them and we couldn't have been happier! They are seriously talented musicians and Alex, the main singer's voice is incredible! Their Queen songs are amazing!! On the wedding evening all our guests were saying how brilliant the band were - they got everyone on the dancefloor! Could not be happier with them. Would honestly recommend them so highly to ANYONE who needs a wedding band - you will not regret it!"
"I just want to say a massive thanks to Stardust!! I cannot recommend them highly enough. They were incredible and had everyone up dancing, even those that normally wouldn’t dance! The transition between each song was seamless and they played all the best hits. So many of our wedding guests completed them and said they were THE BEST band. We requested a specific song for our first dance, and they were happy to play it. Even now, weeks after, we’re still getting positive feedback about them! When they finished everyone was chanting ‘one more tune’. They also provided us with DJ Vincenzo for our after party. Again, the dance floor was never empty and everyone loved the music. If you’re looking for a band to play at your wedding or party, I really do suggest Stardust! Thank you for being such a highlight of our wedding in Italy. We will never forget it! xx."
"Hi Alex, Chantelle and I just wanted to say thank you so much for everything you all did for us on Sunday. Everything was absolutely perfect all day and night. We all had an amazing time and everyone said how incredible you guys were! We’ll 100% recommend you to everyone! Please pass on our thanks to the whole band. Kind regards, Luke."
"Hello, We just wanted to say thank you so much for last weekend! Our guests told us how amazing you all were and how much fun they had. Someone took a photo we think you guys might like, we’ve attached it to this email. Take care and thanks again! Paul and Jess."
"Stardust were an excellent band for our wedding; due to the pandemic we were not able to meet in person prior to the event, but communication in advance was excellent throughout. Stardust took the time and effort to learn specific songs for our ceremony and first dance, and took requests in advance (and during the day!) for songs to be played throughout the day. We were both delighted with the acoustic songs for the ceremony, which were played beautifully. Stardust also DJ’ed for us during the evening, considering their 7 hour drive to the venue it was a very long day for them, but they also stayed on for additional time when requested there and then. We thoroughly recommend Stardust!"
"Gli Stardust sono una band eccezionale, hanno contribuito a rendere perfetto il nostro matrimonio! Tutti gli invitati hanno apprezzato la qualità e la varietà della selezione musicale e, a distanza di 3 mesi dal nostro matrimonio, ne parlano ancora!"
"Grandissimi! Hanno contribuito alla riuscita della nostra festa grazie alla loro bravura e alla loro simpatia! Eccezionali dal punto di vista tecnico (Alex ha una voce pazzesca!), ma soprattutto impeccabili nel capire i gusti degli invitati e nel farli divertire. Disponibilissimi nei mesi precedenti per organizzare la festa e spettacolari il giorno del matrimonio! Consigliatissimi!"
"Consigliati dal fotografo scelto, li abbiamo ascoltati durante una serata in un locale e ci hanno subito convinti. Non il solito prodotto da matrimonio, si sono divertiti tutti. Davvero professionali e con una vera preparazione musicale."
"Hi Alex, I hope that our message reaches you and the band well. It’s been nearly three months since you all did something spectacular for Sharon and I. You played a huge role in the best day of our lives. Honestly, without your contribution, the day would not have been what it was and we would not have the memories that we have today. We must apologise for not writing sooner than today. We had an amazing time at the Masseria Pettolecchia La Residenza. In the weeks since we returned we have spoken about just what you guys did for us. We will talk about that a little later. What we must say first is something that more than one of our guests said to us after the wedding day. However, that was just the antipasto!! What followed was incredible. You guys ROCK as a wedding band. But then we have not forgotten a little something. What you and the band did for us in learning “Angel at Your Elbow” will not only live with us for a day, month or year. It will live with us for the rest of our lives. Listen, we know you and the band are artists in your own right. Our wedding translator (Paola Iancobini) knows you well and was telling us just how good you are. She goes to see you play a lot. So, we need to tell you how important it is to us that you not only learned the tune and the words, but you also captured the spirit of the music. We can now tell you something. When you sent us an e-mail a few days before we were due to be married to say that you had learned the song we both cried tears of emotion. We were ready to play an MP3 file but knowing that “Angel….” would be played live was just the best news that we could hope for. It really was a dream come true. Then, to hear you play and sing it live was beyond words. You guys nailed it!! Completely. Full stop. One of our friends captured some of the songs on video and it’s something that we will treasure. We hope that the videographer has some of the songs as well as it will be one of the highlights in our wedding video. We cannot thank you enough and I hope you guys felt our appreciation as you played and sung. We also must play tribute to the DJ. We asked you about him when we booked you and you promised that he would keep people dancing. Well, he most certainly did that! Our guests had such a good time and it was with sadness that just after 3:30am we had to end the loud music for the evening. So, when we think about what went well with our wedding. There is so much to be thankful for. We made a very good decision when we chose you to play at our wedding and we will forever be thankful to all of you in the band. We will be back in Puglia next year. We have spent two weeks in this beautiful location every year and will continue to do so again. We hope that we’ll be able to see you play somewhere while we are there. All best wishes and lots of love from Stuart & Sharon xx"
"For Daniel, the music was the number 1 importance for our wedding and with such a love of indie rock music, I started to desperately worry that we wouldn’t find a band up to scratch in the very South of Italy to meet his high expectations. After searching wedding blogs, I stumbled across Stardust and after listening to their video demo on YouTube couldn’t wait to show Daniel what I’d found! As Aerosmith played, Daniel’s eyes lit up and I knew we’d found the most perfect band! I quickly reached out to Alex, the lead singer outlining the requirements we had and Alex replied back with a wonderfully clear quote. After a few tweaks, we hired Stardust for the Ceremony Playlist to be played from a playlist via a PA, Stardust to play acoustic for the drinks reception, a Jazz band for the meal, Stardust for the full band set then onto the DJ set to finish (I told you Daniel liked music!) Alex worked behind the scenes to pull in industry contacts and create an ‘entertainment team’ and soon Vincenzo was on board for the ceremony/ DJ sets and Marco & Elio for the Jazz band set. Daniel and I were lucky enough to meet Alex in person during our pre-wedding meeting at Castello Monaci in May 2018. After many glasses of wine and some ‘hair bonding’ between Alex and Daniel, we left Italy extremely excited about the upcoming wedding in August and a new friend along the way! Over the coming months, we organised a play list with Alex (we only chose a few songs allowing them to enjoy the evening too by playing songs they loved) and Daniel went to work practising the guitar so he could surprise our guests by ‘jamming with the band’ on the wedding evening. Stardust even learnt Uptown Funk for us so we could get the party started exactly how we’d imagined after the first dance; this was the highlight of the night for me as they’d done so well to learn this alongside what proved to be a busy wedding season for them! On the day, Stardust arrived on time (in fact they’d played at our venue the night before) and Alex came to see me straight away where I was getting ready to pick up the ceremony playlist/ instructions. Details must have been handed over to Vincenzo word for word as the ceremony music was perfectly timed. When we arrived to the drinks reception, seeing Stardust playing brought a smile to our face and they literally made the atmosphere perfect! We hadn’t heard many songs from Marco & Elio (the Jazz band) but with the perfect mix of upbeat and relaxed Jazz and Swing music, they were the most amazing addition to the day- Daniel and I along with other guests even got up to dance through the meal! My cousin was due to sing our first dance and Stardust welcomed her to the microphone perfectly, ensuring the backing track we’d sent over prior to the wedding for her was timed to her performance just right. Then, it was time for Uptown Funk- great work Stardust is all I can say… you were perfect and need to add it to your repertoire! Stardust then continued to play their 1.5 hour set for which the dancefloor NEVER emptied and Daniel even got to jam with the band- a lifelong dream for him! The only downside, as much as Vincenzo was a fab DJ, we literally could have had Stardust on the stage ALLLLL night and don’t know where the time went! Since the wedding, we’ve had numerous compliments for our music choice so Stardust thank you for what can only be described as the best night of our lives! You helped to give us the wedding of our dreams and we will be forever grateful to you and the other acts you recommended! I will certainly be recommending Stardust to anyone I can. People reading this- if you need a band, BOOK Stardust- you won’t regret it! Much Love x"

"Stardust was absolutely fantastic! We travelled from Chicago to have our wedding in Puglia at Tenuta Pinto. Alex and his team were communicative, responsive, and accommodating throughout the entire process. They set up at the venue early and were ready to go for every part of our wedding. Their positive fun energy was felt from the very first song. Many guests were complimenting on how great they sounded throughout the evening, and couldn't agree more. I am a firm believer that music can make or break the wedding experience, and Stardust definitely made our wedding an unforgettable great time. Thank you Stardust!"
"Absolutely amazing experience with Stardust, this band are Incredible! From the moment they started playing, they transformed our wedding into an unforgettable celebration. We had Stardust do our ceremony, aperitif, evening music, and DJ - everything was just amazing. Their repertoire was perfect, the band's talent is exceptional; each member is incredibly skilled and brought such passion to their performance. They’re also such a lovely group of people, so friendly and warm and great to deal with. From the minute the band started, the dancefloor was full, the guests didn’t want their session to end. Then the DJ came on and played tune after tune and guests didn’t leave the dancefloor until he played his last song! Communication leading up to the big day was top-notch, ensuring all our preferences were considered. All of our guests were raving about how good the music was. If you’re looking for a wedding band that will elevate your event and leave your guests raving, then you HAVE to book Stardust. We couldn’t be happier with our choice and would recommend them to anyone looking for a fun and unforgettable night! Wish we could do it all again. Thank you, Stardust, for making our day so much fun! Amy and Andy x"
"From the moment we had our first call with Alex we knew we had made the best decision. Alex put us straight at ease with his kind manner and expertise on how to throw a good wedding party! Alex and the band went above and beyond for us; from the ceremony, aperitif and after party. We wish we could relive the whole thing over again. So many guests have also commented on how amazing they were! 10/10 would recommend to anyone! Stardust, if you’re ever in NZ come visit us!!!"
"We were lucky enough to book Stardust as our wedding band in Corato. They were sensational. Having listened to many of their samples on the website before booking, we already knew they were a great band but their performance exceeded our expectations! We had Stardust do our ceremony, aperitif, evening music, and DJ - everything was just amazing. The voice, the vibe, the dancefloor. I cannot thank them enough. If you are thinking of booking them I would highly highly recommend them!"
"The most incredible band! Better than I could have ever imagined for our wedding day! Firstly they are so professional and extremely friendly. They played Baby Shark for my 3 year old and made her day! Alex was so lovely and has the most incredible voice. Our guests were gobsmacked by how amazing they were. Honestly couldn’t recommend enough! They made our wedding day that extra bit special and amazing! Thank you so much!"
"Being English, and doing a destination wedding in Italy, myself and my wife were nervous about choosing a band for us and our guests to enjoy. Communication with Stardust was super easy and they were always very quick to reply. They arrived on the big day and set up without needing anything from us. Everything was so easy and simple, and no request was ever too much. The band was amazing and their speaker and lighting set up was top notch and really set the mood. As soon as they kicked off their set, all our guests and ourselves included were up and on our feet and no one sat down until they ended. They really were incredible and so many of our guests complimented them and their music. They made our wedding so much fun, Alex and co thank you so much. We really can't thank you enough for making our day so spectacular."
"Stardust were amazing! We could not have asked for a better band at our wedding. Not only was the music and singing incredible but they made sure to carry the party on till late into the night. They were happy to accommodate any specific requests or any wants from the setlist. Alex and the band were simply the best."
"Perfect performance! It is really not easy to drive so many hours but still a high-level performance which lit up the whole night. Especially the two Chinese songs which were very professional and amazing. Thanks to Alex, thanks to all. Hope to book you again one day!"
"Oh my goodness, this band was INCREDIBLE!!!!!! Do not even hesitate in booking Stardust, they blew all of our guests’ minds with their unbelievable talent and no one can stop talking about how fantastic they were! Alex’s voice was exceptional, the band were just awesome and the DJ set was perfection. I was, and still am, overwhelmed by their talent and I feel so lucky that we had them for our wedding day. They kept up amazing energy all day from start to finish and made sure we all had the best time. They were on time and so professional and throughout the whole process from start to finish they were so accommodating and extremely responsive to our messages and questions making us feel a priority at all times. Beyond their incredible talent they are also just wonderful people who you would absolutely want with you on the best day of your life. Thank you for making our dreams come true for our big day, we cannot thank you enough!! Anna & Duncan x"
"Stardust were one of the most important elements of our wedding and as we were getting married in Italy we wanted to be confident that the band would meet our expectations as it was difficult for us to see them live. We met Alex and Stardust 5 months before to discuss our music requirements and nothing seemed to be a problem and we went away feeling very secure in the knowledge that everything was taken care of. Stardust gave us a brilliant performance on the night, musically they are first class. Couldn’t fault them at all. We couldn’t believe that even the non-dancers were dancing and that's some achievement. Our guests were so impressed with them and we would highly recommend them for any function. FixTheMusic were brilliant with their administration and made the booking process very easy and I felt very assured that I was dealing with a very professional company."
"Phenomenal!! From start to finish you had the crowd going!! Played a wide variety of music and boy did you please everyone! Everyone was up dancing and had the best time. Everyone is still talking about you. Will defo book again!!"
"Eccezionali, professionali e simpatici! Attenti ai nostri gusti musicali. Voce stupenda di Alex. Bellissima l'esibizione al piano durante la confettata. Bravissimo anche il DJ. Grazie a loro tutti gli ospiti si sono divertiti e si sono trattenuti fini alla fine! Abbiamo ricevuto un sacco di complimenti."
"Un gruppo eccezionale! I più bei ricordi del mio matrimonio sono legati alla loro musica... Professionali, disponibili, presenti, bravissimi. Io e mio marito li abbiamo adorati dal primo momento. Sceglierei loro altre mille volte."
"Hi Ed and Zazie, I've been meaning to email you about Alex and Stardust for quite some time now. Among all the bands we've booked through you in 2023 and 2022, they have been the best. They were exceedingly professional, flexible, and incredibly talented. Managing the wedding wasn't easy, but they maintained a positive attitude and showed great understanding throughout. Alex's vocal prowess was outstanding, and the DJ, along with the entire band, was fantastic. Without a doubt, I would highly recommend them for any type of wedding. Best, Mariana (wedding planner)."
"Dear Alex, so sorry this is long overdue but we were enjoying the peace of our honeymoon in Sicily! I hope you guys are well and have been busy rocking the dance floor at other weddings. We wanted to thank you guys so much for an AMAZING dance floor...you guys owned it and made the party amazing. So many people have asked us about you guys and how we found you!! Everyone loved you :) and more importantly so did we! It was such a shame that we had to finish at 4, we could have gone on all night!! You guys deserve so much to be made known - not that you need it but we want to wish you all the luck in the world for you and your band, you'll go far. Thanks again for making our night so amazing, we honestly couldn't have been happier!! Sam & Henrik xxx"
"We booked Stardust for our wedding and man did we make the perfect choice! There were a lot of musicians at the wedding so the band had to be good. I can tell you that not only did Stardust create a perfect atmosphere for the day and for the party, they are also masters of their instruments. So everybody had an amazing time! The singer's voice and range is honestly suited for any style of music, so whatever music you like will sound great when Stardust is playing it. At the end of the night they let a few guests play on their instruments, which they didn't have to do but it was really fun! I've checked the internet for the best wedding bands in Italy and apart from the class and vibe of Stardust they were also a great choice for price/quantity. Not only did they perform at the party, they brought a DJ to fill up the breaks and they even provided music throughout the day for stuff like the ceremony. And last, there is the fact that they were all nice guys, willing to be flexible with last-minute changes and great to hang out with. So if you're looking for an awesome band in Italy, you have to book these guys!"
"The absolute best, don’t think twice! We can’t say enough good things about Stardust, they were the highlight of the night and made our wedding so memorable. My husband who is a huge rock fan and music enthusiast kept saying how amazing Alex’s voice was. Our wedding was 3 weeks ago and we’re still getting compliments on this amazing band. They were gracious enough to even learn new songs for us. Thank you so much Alex and team for helping our dream wedding come true, you guys knocked it out of the park with such an amazing show. We wish you all the success!"
"Stardust performed on a yacht for a birthday celebration and the whole experience was fantastic! All the guests were blown away by the quality of their performance and had so much fun throughout. They have a wide range of music for every taste - and with a DJ included, they kept the party going late into the night. I would definitely have them back again and would recommend them to anyone. They were on time, very friendly and respectful to the guests and their surroundings as it was their first performance onboard a yacht. A very memorable night. The FixTheMusic platform is so easy to use and finds you exactly what you are looking for. The payment process was easy and assuring. Great product."
"Best wedding band I have ever heard - we came over to Polignano from Ireland and we were not disappointed. Thank you Stardust 🇮🇪"
"Alex and the band were all fantastic! We hired Stardust for our wedding in September 2023 - we had them play from the ceremony, after dinner and a DJ till late. They were super flexible with the songs that we wanted to play at our ceremony and our first dance (they even learnt new songs for us). The DJ was fantastic too and played all our favourite songs. The guests did not stop dancing and everyone had a great time. Fully recommend Stardust, professional, flexible and had a wide range of songs. Thank you Alex and the team!"
"Brilliant from start to finish! They kept everyone entertained from the ceremony to the early hours, the dance floor was never empty! Great guys with incredible talent! Thanks so much, you made our wedding 😊"
"Stardust were an incredible band for our wedding. Our dance floor was packed for the whole evening and there was not a single song which we didn't love. We also booked a saxophonist who played alongside the DJ, which was an amazing touch. Flawless mixing from band to DJ too! 5 stars, could not recommend them more! Thank you for everything!"
"Stardust really made our wedding. They were responsive in the build up and provided everything we wanted. The music and atmosphere they created really got the party started and then kept it going right until the end. Thanks so much guys."
"Hello! All of our guests raved about Stardust, and many of them even said they are the best cover band they have ever seen! First, Alex was super responsive when I first enquired and provided me with all the details. It was so easy to work with him! They played at our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception and were such professionals. Also, our dance floor was full the entire time and the energy was great throughout the night, which was super important to us. I cannot recommend Stardust more; they made our wedding day so memorable. Thank you Alex! Warm Regards, Tiffany."
"Good morning Alex and team, We hope you're well and enjoyed the rest of your weddings this weekend! Just a quick note to THANK YOU so much for being the most incredible band for our wedding. The dance floor was full the whole time and every song was absolutely brilliant! The dance floor was what we were most looking forward to on our wedding days and you did not disappoint! Our original band cancelled just before we contacted you, and we're so happy they cancelled and we found you! All the best, Alex & Rob Kane x."
"Dear Alex, Marina (and the rest of the band), We wanted to drop you a quick message to say a huge thank you for making our wedding day (Saturday 13 May) so special. All of our guests were really impressed by your performances. Marina and Saverio's rendition of Kissing You and Waiting for a Star to Fall at the ceremony were absolutely beautiful - despite the awful weather, they made the setting perfect! We both really regret that we did not get more time to speak to you on the actual day. Unfortunately due to the weather and traffic delays, the day just seemed to fly by. We were absolutely thrilled with your set - we only wish you could have played for longer! We really cannot thank you enough for everything - you were extremely accommodating and made our day even more memorable. Please let us know where we can write a glowing review to express our gratitude. It was a pleasure working with you and we would not hesitate to recommend your band. Kind regards, Catherine and Adam Smith."
"Stardust were ace. They were great leading up to our wedding when organising our set list and performed our first dance even though it wasn't on their playlist. So many people have since commented on how good they were - I think they'll be playing at our friend's wedding one day! Seriously can't recommend these guys highly enough!"
"Il miglior gruppo che ho mai visto ad un matrimonio. Sono stati in grado far divertire davvero tutti gli invitati al punto che la maggior parte sono rimasti fino alla fine dell'after. La coesione del gruppo è incomparabile ed il cantante, Alex, ha una voce unica nel suo genere. Futuri sposi, se non avete ancora scelto il gruppo musicale per il vostro matrimonio, scegliete gli Stardust e vi assicuro che non ve ne pentirete."
"Stardust played at our wedding in September - we couldn't be happier! They were a delight to work with and their performance was fantastic. They were responsive in the lead up to the event - happy to take a few song requests and to understand how we wanted to personalise the event. They arrived with plenty of time to spare on the day and were very pleasant to talk to. They performed three songs during the ceremony, played background songs during the aperitivo, then played a 2hr live set after dinner followed by a DJ set. Alex's voice is incredible, as many guests commented on during the aperitivo, and the whole band played really well. They brought great energy to the after-dinner set, which made it an unforgettable dancefloor session - younger and older guests alike kept dancing till the lights came on! A huge thank you to the whole band for creating great memories for us. Multiple people asked me for their details the next day, hoping to book them for their own weddings."
"Right from the moment we met Alex, 4 months before our wedding, we clicked straight away and from that point we had no doubts about the band and the music. What we weren’t prepared for was simply how good they were, close your eyes and you couldn’t tell the difference between the live performance and a record. There were no gaps or chat between songs or between the live performance and the disco - seamless. It was all about the party and having a good time. All our guests were up dancing the whole time and remarks like ‘Best cover band I have ever heard’ was said more than once. If you want to have a great party with great music you will not go wrong if you book Stardust. Simply amazing. Thank you Alex and the band members and Vincenzo the DJ."
"This band are AMAZING! We were not sure what to do about a band for our wedding, as we come from England and did not know any good bands in Italy. Our wedding planner recommended them and we couldn't have been happier! They are seriously talented musicians and Alex, the main singer's voice is incredible! Their Queen songs are amazing!! On the wedding evening all our guests were saying how brilliant the band were - they got everyone on the dancefloor! Could not be happier with them. Would honestly recommend them so highly to ANYONE who needs a wedding band - you will not regret it!"
"I just want to say a massive thanks to Stardust!! I cannot recommend them highly enough. They were incredible and had everyone up dancing, even those that normally wouldn’t dance! The transition between each song was seamless and they played all the best hits. So many of our wedding guests completed them and said they were THE BEST band. We requested a specific song for our first dance, and they were happy to play it. Even now, weeks after, we’re still getting positive feedback about them! When they finished everyone was chanting ‘one more tune’. They also provided us with DJ Vincenzo for our after party. Again, the dance floor was never empty and everyone loved the music. If you’re looking for a band to play at your wedding or party, I really do suggest Stardust! Thank you for being such a highlight of our wedding in Italy. We will never forget it! xx."
"Hi Alex, Chantelle and I just wanted to say thank you so much for everything you all did for us on Sunday. Everything was absolutely perfect all day and night. We all had an amazing time and everyone said how incredible you guys were! We’ll 100% recommend you to everyone! Please pass on our thanks to the whole band. Kind regards, Luke."
"Hello, We just wanted to say thank you so much for last weekend! Our guests told us how amazing you all were and how much fun they had. Someone took a photo we think you guys might like, we’ve attached it to this email. Take care and thanks again! Paul and Jess."
"Stardust were an excellent band for our wedding; due to the pandemic we were not able to meet in person prior to the event, but communication in advance was excellent throughout. Stardust took the time and effort to learn specific songs for our ceremony and first dance, and took requests in advance (and during the day!) for songs to be played throughout the day. We were both delighted with the acoustic songs for the ceremony, which were played beautifully. Stardust also DJ’ed for us during the evening, considering their 7 hour drive to the venue it was a very long day for them, but they also stayed on for additional time when requested there and then. We thoroughly recommend Stardust!"
"Gli Stardust sono una band eccezionale, hanno contribuito a rendere perfetto il nostro matrimonio! Tutti gli invitati hanno apprezzato la qualità e la varietà della selezione musicale e, a distanza di 3 mesi dal nostro matrimonio, ne parlano ancora!"
"Grandissimi! Hanno contribuito alla riuscita della nostra festa grazie alla loro bravura e alla loro simpatia! Eccezionali dal punto di vista tecnico (Alex ha una voce pazzesca!), ma soprattutto impeccabili nel capire i gusti degli invitati e nel farli divertire. Disponibilissimi nei mesi precedenti per organizzare la festa e spettacolari il giorno del matrimonio! Consigliatissimi!"
"Consigliati dal fotografo scelto, li abbiamo ascoltati durante una serata in un locale e ci hanno subito convinti. Non il solito prodotto da matrimonio, si sono divertiti tutti. Davvero professionali e con una vera preparazione musicale."
"Hi Alex, I hope that our message reaches you and the band well. It’s been nearly three months since you all did something spectacular for Sharon and I. You played a huge role in the best day of our lives. Honestly, without your contribution, the day would not have been what it was and we would not have the memories that we have today. We must apologise for not writing sooner than today. We had an amazing time at the Masseria Pettolecchia La Residenza. In the weeks since we returned we have spoken about just what you guys did for us. We will talk about that a little later. What we must say first is something that more than one of our guests said to us after the wedding day. However, that was just the antipasto!! What followed was incredible. You guys ROCK as a wedding band. But then we have not forgotten a little something. What you and the band did for us in learning “Angel at Your Elbow” will not only live with us for a day, month or year. It will live with us for the rest of our lives. Listen, we know you and the band are artists in your own right. Our wedding translator (Paola Iancobini) knows you well and was telling us just how good you are. She goes to see you play a lot. So, we need to tell you how important it is to us that you not only learned the tune and the words, but you also captured the spirit of the music. We can now tell you something. When you sent us an e-mail a few days before we were due to be married to say that you had learned the song we both cried tears of emotion. We were ready to play an MP3 file but knowing that “Angel….” would be played live was just the best news that we could hope for. It really was a dream come true. Then, to hear you play and sing it live was beyond words. You guys nailed it!! Completely. Full stop. One of our friends captured some of the songs on video and it’s something that we will treasure. We hope that the videographer has some of the songs as well as it will be one of the highlights in our wedding video. We cannot thank you enough and I hope you guys felt our appreciation as you played and sung. We also must play tribute to the DJ. We asked you about him when we booked you and you promised that he would keep people dancing. Well, he most certainly did that! Our guests had such a good time and it was with sadness that just after 3:30am we had to end the loud music for the evening. So, when we think about what went well with our wedding. There is so much to be thankful for. We made a very good decision when we chose you to play at our wedding and we will forever be thankful to all of you in the band. We will be back in Puglia next year. We have spent two weeks in this beautiful location every year and will continue to do so again. We hope that we’ll be able to see you play somewhere while we are there. All best wishes and lots of love from Stuart & Sharon xx"
"For Daniel, the music was the number 1 importance for our wedding and with such a love of indie rock music, I started to desperately worry that we wouldn’t find a band up to scratch in the very South of Italy to meet his high expectations. After searching wedding blogs, I stumbled across Stardust and after listening to their video demo on YouTube couldn’t wait to show Daniel what I’d found! As Aerosmith played, Daniel’s eyes lit up and I knew we’d found the most perfect band! I quickly reached out to Alex, the lead singer outlining the requirements we had and Alex replied back with a wonderfully clear quote. After a few tweaks, we hired Stardust for the Ceremony Playlist to be played from a playlist via a PA, Stardust to play acoustic for the drinks reception, a Jazz band for the meal, Stardust for the full band set then onto the DJ set to finish (I told you Daniel liked music!) Alex worked behind the scenes to pull in industry contacts and create an ‘entertainment team’ and soon Vincenzo was on board for the ceremony/ DJ sets and Marco & Elio for the Jazz band set. Daniel and I were lucky enough to meet Alex in person during our pre-wedding meeting at Castello Monaci in May 2018. After many glasses of wine and some ‘hair bonding’ between Alex and Daniel, we left Italy extremely excited about the upcoming wedding in August and a new friend along the way! Over the coming months, we organised a play list with Alex (we only chose a few songs allowing them to enjoy the evening too by playing songs they loved) and Daniel went to work practising the guitar so he could surprise our guests by ‘jamming with the band’ on the wedding evening. Stardust even learnt Uptown Funk for us so we could get the party started exactly how we’d imagined after the first dance; this was the highlight of the night for me as they’d done so well to learn this alongside what proved to be a busy wedding season for them! On the day, Stardust arrived on time (in fact they’d played at our venue the night before) and Alex came to see me straight away where I was getting ready to pick up the ceremony playlist/ instructions. Details must have been handed over to Vincenzo word for word as the ceremony music was perfectly timed. When we arrived to the drinks reception, seeing Stardust playing brought a smile to our face and they literally made the atmosphere perfect! We hadn’t heard many songs from Marco & Elio (the Jazz band) but with the perfect mix of upbeat and relaxed Jazz and Swing music, they were the most amazing addition to the day- Daniel and I along with other guests even got up to dance through the meal! My cousin was due to sing our first dance and Stardust welcomed her to the microphone perfectly, ensuring the backing track we’d sent over prior to the wedding for her was timed to her performance just right. Then, it was time for Uptown Funk- great work Stardust is all I can say… you were perfect and need to add it to your repertoire! Stardust then continued to play their 1.5 hour set for which the dancefloor NEVER emptied and Daniel even got to jam with the band- a lifelong dream for him! The only downside, as much as Vincenzo was a fab DJ, we literally could have had Stardust on the stage ALLLLL night and don’t know where the time went! Since the wedding, we’ve had numerous compliments for our music choice so Stardust thank you for what can only be described as the best night of our lives! You helped to give us the wedding of our dreams and we will be forever grateful to you and the other acts you recommended! I will certainly be recommending Stardust to anyone I can. People reading this- if you need a band, BOOK Stardust- you won’t regret it! Much Love x"
