Reviews from local events in France

Chris was amazing! We knew he was the perfect DJ for us from the get go. Super kind, friendly and approachable every time we spoke and the process of booking him, planning the days music and his presence on our wedding day was seamless. Despite the small wedding we had, the dance floor was full all evening and our guests absolutely loved him! We had lots come up to us saying your DJ is amazing! And we couldn’t agree more. Music was really important to us for our wedding - we really wanted everyone to be on the dancefloor and be having the best time and Chris 100% delivered. We loved how he mixed the playlists we gave to him and we loved the DnB set we asked him to play at the end - just the best vibes!! Thanks so, so much Chris! Please book Chris for your wedding/event - you won’t be disappointed!!

Swing Thieves ont joué pour notre mariage lors du Welcome Dinner le vendredi, et leur prestation a été tout simplement incroyable. Ils ont su s’adapter parfaitement à l’ambiance et à l’énergie de nos invités : une ambiance très chill pendant le dîner, puis une montée en puissance qui a fait danser tout le monde jusqu'à leur départ. Tous nos invités étaient unanimes : ils ont été fantastiques. La voix de Nadia est sublime et l'ensemble des musiciens est extrêmement talentueux. Plusieurs mélomanes parmi nos proches nous ont même dit qu'ils les avaient trouvés phénoménaux. En plus d'être ultra professionnels et faciles d'accès, ils ont pris le temps d'apprendre une chanson qui nous tenait particulièrement à cœur. Nous les recommandons les yeux fermés pour n'importe quel événement : ils sauraient faire vibrer n'importe quelle assemblée. Même sans avoir beaucoup de photos sous la main, il était impensable pour nous de ne pas leur laisser cet avis tant ils le méritent. ———— Swing Thieves played at our wedding for our Friday Welcome Dinner, and their performance was simply incredible. They adapted perfectly to the energy of our guests, starting with a chill vibe during dinner and then building up the energy until everyone was on the dance floor. Everyone agreed they were fantastic. Nadia's voice is amazing, and all the musicians are extremely talented. A few music lovers among our guests even said they were phenomenal. They were super easy to work with and took the time to learn a song that meant a lot to us. We highly recommend them for any event—they'll definitely get your guests moving. Even though I don't have many photos, I couldn't pass up the chance to leave a review because they truly deserve it.

True Troubadour played at our wedding in Dordogne, and we LOVED him and his performance! He sang during the ceremony, the cocktail hour, and our first dance. Not only did we adore his performance, but all our guests absolutely loved him too. His voice is beautiful and his energy is lovely. My husband and I would highly recommend him and are excited to see him play again one day!

We can't recommend this band highly enough for our wedding. The booking process was straightforward from start to finish, and communication throughout was easy and responsive. On the day, setup was completely seamless — one less thing to worry about with everything else going on. We knew the music would make or break the party, and they absolutely delivered. Both the live set and the DJ set afterwards were spot on: great song choices, excellent playing, and they read the room perfectly, keeping the pace just right all night. Everyone's still talking about how amazing they were. On top of all that, they're just a lovely group of people. Couldn't have asked for more.

We booked Peter for our wedding of 22 close family and friends at a manoir house in Carcassonne, and he was incredible. He played background acoustic guitar for about an hour and a half, delivering recognizable songs played to absolute perfection. It was the ideal setting for a beautiful occasion. Fantastic talent. would highly recommend him to anyone!

We honestly couldn’t have asked for a better DJ and saxophonist for our wedding. From the moment they started playing during the cocktail hour, they completely nailed the atmosphere, creating the perfect relaxed yet upbeat vibe for our guests. As the evening went on, they took the party to another level and kept the dance floor full all night! They exceeded every expectation we had and were even better than we could have imagined. Their talent, energy, and ability to read the room were incredible. They helped create unforgettable memories for us and our guests that we’ll cherish for a lifetime. If you’re looking for entertainment that will make your wedding truly special, we couldn’t recommend them more highly. Thank you for making our day so unforgettable!

We truly had the best experience at our wedding with High Jinx! Going into our wedding, music was a big priority and they most definitely delivered. The music during the ceremony brought such a lovely compliment to the joyous and peaceful moment, totally highlighting the feeling we wanted to create. During the cocktail hour, the band completely made the atmosphere- so many people came up to us to compliment the playlist and the vibes that it brought to the environment. Finally, the reception was an absolute blast thanks to the band. We sincerely could not stop dancing because it was just irresistible when the music is that fantastic. Coming with a mix of French and American guests, everyone felt the life of the party and felt totally at home. High Jinx seriously brought the best vibe and energy to our special day. It was the party of our dreams and we wish we could live it all over egain. Could not recommend them enough!

From the very beginning, they were so easy to communicate with, responsive, professional, and completely stress-free to work with during the planning process.

We received endless compliments from our guests about how incredible they sounded.

We had the pleasure of working with the trio Blue Horizon Jazz at a recent event, and I wanted to take a moment to thank you and share our feedback. It was truly a wonderful experience. The trio is outstanding, the singer has an incredible voice, and our guests absolutely loved the performance. She has a fantastic presence, and the music created exactly the atmosphere we were hoping for. Your trio worked perfectly during the cocktail reception and would be just as suitable for dinner service, depending on the ambiance desired. We received many positive comments from our clients throughout the event. Thank you again for your professionalism, talent, and the beautiful atmosphere you brought to our event. We would be delighted to work with you again in the future and highly recommend Blue Horizon Jazz without hesitation. Best regards, Savina

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) About Hiring a Party Band or Wedding Band...

FixTheMusic provides bands for thousands of weddings and private events each year across Europe and worldwide. We've put together some Frequently asked questions (FAQs) about hiring a wedding band, a few of which are listed below:

How early should I book a wedding band?

You should aim to book your band as soon as possible. Most of our best wedding bands have bookings at least two years in advance. If your wedding is on a Saturday in May, June, July, August or September, you should really be looking to book at least a year in advance of your date. This is because most weddings fall on a Saturday during summer so our bands receive the most enquiries for these days. That said, there are more and more weddings taking place on Sundays and mid-week (especially on Thursdays and Fridays) so it’s best not to wait too long before locking down your band.

Can I see wedding bands perform live before I book?

Usually it’s not possible to see the band live. Most professional bands perform at private events only, such as weddings and corporate events. It’s not usually possible for the bands to allow potential clients into these venues to watch them perform. It is occasionally possible so there’s no harm in asking. And sometimes wedding bands will do the odd gig at a pub or festival that’s open to the public.

How long do most wedding bands perform for?

Most bands play 2 x 45 minute or 2 x 1 hour live sets at weddings. Some bands will play for longer than this. The bands will usually tell you how long their sets are when they provide you with their quote.

What happens between and after the wedding band's live sets?

Most bands provide a “laptop DJ” service. This isn’t the same as providing the service of a professional DJ who reads the room and adapts to the feel on the night. Instead, they will have a playlist (usually on something like Spotify or iTunes) that they play out of their PA system. It's worth checking the details of this with the band, as some wedding bands only provide the live music and prefer to leave the rest of the evening's music to the couple or a professional DJ.

Can I choose the music that the wedding band plays in between and after their live sets?

Yes, usually you can send the band a list of requests before the wedding and the band will download them onto their laptop or device, ready to play on the night. Alternatively, you can compile a playlist and bring your own device to plug into the band’s PA system. You should check this with the band first, as not all bands are comfortable with others using their own equipment.

What songs will wedding bands play?

Most bands have a repertoire of songs that they perform regularly at weddings. This will be a tried-and-tested playlist that they know works well at weddings: it appeals to guests of all ages and keeps people on the dance floor. The set list will change throughout the year, as the band adds and removes songs.

Will the wedding band learn my first dance song?

Yes! Most bands will be delighted to learn your first dance song and perform it live for you on your wedding night. If it doesn’t fit the band’s style, then they might suggest you use the recorded version of the song and the band will play this out of their PA system.

Can I give a list of songs to the band to play at my wedding?

Most bands will usually learn one song for your wedding that isn’t already in their setlist. Some bands will offer to learn 2 or 3 new songs, but in our experience they are rarely able to learn more than this. It can be very time consuming for the band to learn and rehearse new songs, and especially so for singers to learn all the new lyrics.

Can I indicate my song preferences to the wedding band?

Yes. Most bands will be happy for you to indicate which songs from their set list you dislike and don’t want them to play, and songs that you like and absolutely want them to play on the night. The band will usually then build their setlist around these preferences.

What time will the wedding band arrive?

Most bands aim to arrive at around 5pm to be ready to play by 7pm. During this time they will set up their equipment and carry out a sound check, essential to making sure the volume of the band is appropriate to your venue and that any sound / noise limiters are taken into account.

Can the wedding band turn up earlier than that?

Yes, most bands will be happy to turn up earlier than 5pm, but you should expect to pay them for the extra time. A lot of wedding couples worry about the band setting up while guests are at the venue. Bands with lots of experience of weddings should be able to set up discreetly and without making too much noise and mess. The noisiest part is when they have to carry out the sound check, but this should only last about 15 - 30 minutes.

What time will the wedding band finish?

Most bands expect to finish by midnight. This suits most weddings as the majority of venues require live music to stop by this time.

Can the wedding band stay later than midnight?

Usually, yes, the band can finish after midnight. But bands will normally charge a slightly higher fee for this later finish, and this should be arranged with the band in advance.

Can I use the wedding band’s PA system after midnight?

Usually, yes. Though this will also attract a slightly higher fee, as it means that at least one band member has to wait until the end of the party to pack up the PA system and head home. Some band members might be a couple of hours’ drive away from your venue, so finishing at 1am means they won’t arrive home until 3am or 4am.

Will the wedding band bring their own equipment?

Yes. Professional wedding bands will bring their own equipment. This includes a PA system, mixing desk, some basic lighting for the dance floor and their own instruments. If you are planning a particularly large wedding with hundreds of guests, you might consider hiring in a larger PA system and more lighting. Not all bands in Europe provide their own equipment (e.g. they might not bring lighting), so you may wish to check this before booking.

Do wedding bands need a stage?

No. Most bands are happy to perform without a stage, though it can look special if you can offer them a stage to perform on.

If I do provide a stage, how much space will the wedding band need?

This will depend on the size of the band of course, but to give you a rough idea, a 4-piece band would usually need at least 5m x 4m. This is to provide room for not only the band members themselves, but also their instruments (keyboards and drum kits take up quite a bit of space) and other things like speakers and a mixing desk.

Can I or my guests perform or sing with the wedding band?

If you ask the band in advance, most will be happy to allow you or one of your guests to sing or play along with them for one or two songs. We always advise checking this with your band first.

Do I need to hire a DJ as well as a wedding band?

Most bands will provide pre-recorded playlists between and after their live sets, so your entire evening will be covered. However, if you want a professional DJ who will adapt his music choices on the night and interact with guests, then it’s better to hire a DJ as well.

If I do hire a separate DJ, can the wedding band and DJ share equipment?

Bands and DJs will often share the same PA system, as it can look cluttered to have two sets of speakers around the dance floor. However, you’ll need to discuss this with both the DJ and band before the event to check the equipment suits everyone’s requirements and that everyone is happy to share. One problem can arise when the DJ is booked to provide music into the small hours, but the band is to finish at 11pm. In this case, it would make more sense for the band to use the DJ’s equipment to save the band having to wait until the DJ had finished his set.

Do I need to provide anything for the wedding band?

Professional wedding bands will normally bring all their own technical equipment and instruments. However, most will expect to be provided with a hot meal each and soft drinks. The musicians will probably have left their homes around lunchtime to arrive at your venue in good time to set up and soundcheck. It can be a long day for them and they will be much more energetic on stage if they’ve had a good meal and refreshments before performing for you. The bands won’t expect to be given the same meal as you provide for your guests. Most wedding venues have an option you can purchase in advance for your suppliers or you can give the musicians access to your buffet if you’re having one.

Will the wedding band members be the same as the ones I’ve seen in their videos?

Not always. Most professional bands will have a core group that plays at the majority of weddings they are booked for. However, they will also have a group of deputies (or “deps” as they are known in the industry) that they call upon frequently to cover for band members. This is a standard and essential practice in the music industry. Most musicians work as freelancers, meaning they might work for different function bands or tour with famous pop groups for example. Being able to draw upon a deputy musician to cover a band member who is unavailable (or ill) means the rest of the band can still work.

What do wedding bands wear?

You should get a good idea of what the band wears from their videos online. Most will opt for a smart shirt, but if you have a particular theme or any requests, let them know well in advance. For example, if you’re having an 80s style wedding, you might want to check if the band could wear appropriate clothing to match!

Will the wedding band need parking spaces?

Most bands will arrive by car as it’s the easiest way for them to bring their equipment and instruments. Having 1 or 2 parking spaces available for them to use that are close to the venue will be appreciated by the musicians. In certain cities such as London, you might also need to cover the costs of parking.

Can wedding bands play outside?

If you’re getting married in Europe, it’s a good idea to make the most of the summer months and have as much of your wedding outside if possible. That said, the weather isn’t always the most reliable – so whilst many bands will be happy to play outside in principle, they will always require access to a shelter from the elements, whether that’s strong sunlight or rain. Musicians’ instruments can be worth thousands of pounds and a small amount of water damage or sun can have a devastating impact on the instrument.

Do I need a contract with my wedding band?

The most secure way to book a band is to do so via FixTheMusic. All bookings are governed by the agreement on our website, which is based on the Musicians Union standard contract and amended by the particular details that you agree with your band by email (date, venue etc.). The contract provides protection to both parties.
