Reviews from local events in Portofino
“Paolo was a fantastic addition to our wedding day at Villa Durazzo, Santa Margherita. His performance on the Sax was 10/10 and not only was he extremely friendly and loved by all of our guests but he was also extremely professional. We had a special, last minute, request on the day itself which Paolo was able to happily accommodate and make possible for us. We are so pleased we chose him to be part of our wedding day and would highly recommend to anybody considering having a sax player who can bring the vibes ! Thank you Poalo! Best, Tish and Ben”

“The Italian Riviera Swing Band were amazing and we can't thank them enough for their collaboration, professionalism and of course, incredible performance at our wedding at Villa Durazzo. We had a trio including double bass, piano and vocals by Celeste - superb! Our guests loved the performance during the aperitif in the gardens and Celeste also sang 2 special request songs for us and customised some lyrics effortlessly. The day was magical and definitely memories we will always treasure. Thank you again, hopefully our paths will cross again soon.”

What Styles of Music Can the Bands Perform?
The party bands on FixTheMusic perform a variety of genres, such as pop covers, rock, folk-inspired songs (e.g. Mumford & Sons style) as well as more indie music. Whatever your taste, our system will be able to find what you’re looking for!
We also have a range of acoustic wedding bands, live cover bands, jazz bands, swing bands, ceilidh bands, vintage wedding bands and festival style wedding bands – genres which are very popular currently. We have a selection of English wedding bands in Italy, who are often expats or locals who perform modern covers in English, particularly British/American pop, rock and indie covers.
How Much Does It Cost to Hire an English Wedding Band in Portofino?
UK-based pop covers duos generally charge €2,500 for weddings in Italy. This price includes their travel and accommodation expenses as they'd be travelling from the UK.
Other UK-based bands tend to cost a lot more because they comprise more band members, making the pop duo a very popular option for European weddings.

Our English wedding bands are in frequent demand performing at weddings throughout Europe and have recently been booked at events across Italy, Cyprus, Portugal, France, Sweden, Croatia and Greece.
They are available to hire at venues throughout Italy, including Lazio, Marche, Tuscany, Umbria, Emilia Romagna, Friuli Venezia Giulia, Trentino-Alto Adige, Veneto, Aosta Valley, Portofino, Lombardy, Piedmont, Portofino, Sicily, Abruzzo, Apulia, Basilicata, Portofino, Campania and Molise.
