"We cannot recommend this band enough! Right from the first contact, when we booked them, the communication was great. Organising a wedding is stressful but Mark was always quick to reply. They started off our wedding dance with a bang, and it didn’t stop! The floor was never empty all evening!! Within 10 minutes they had all our guests on the dance floor chanting “no Scotland, no party”!! Nothing was too much trouble for them, and they even allowed one of our good friends to take the mic and perform a song! We’ve had dozens of comments from our guests saying they are the best wedding band they’ve heard! And we absolutely 100% agree! Would recommend them to anyone! Best wedding band in Scotland!!!"
"Absolutely delighted with The Motherships at our wedding, they made it such a fantastic evening! A brilliant mixture of music and the dance floor was full all night 🤩 couldn’t have asked for a better wedding band👌 think a few of our guests might book you up!"
"The Motherships certainly made the wedding reception something special. They had everyone dancing to the very end, the added ceilidh was fantastic. We cannot recommend them enough."
"David and the guys were superb, from our first dance to their last number they had nearly every one of our guests on the dance floor. The range and depth of their live sets was excellent and just encouraged you to dance and party to their music. If you are looking for a band that can play current, contemporary and the all-time classics then these guys nail it every time."
