"Francesca and The Traffic Lights were absolutely excellent! A real highlight and fantastic memory for our wedding.

– Patrick McConnell, 5 June 2023, wedding at Locanda in Tuscany, Bagno Vignoni Verified booking on FixTheMusic
"Traffic Lights were absolutely fantastic!! Became a huge part of our special day. Easy to communicate with beforehand (even from the other side of the world via Zoom!) Very flexible with their time (and played for longer than they should have done). They learnt our first dance song from scratch at our request, each member of the band is a very talented musician, Francesca's voice is amazing. They are keen to take on your musical influences to alter their specialised setlists, most of all lovely people!! Book this band - you won't regret it."
– Lisa & Chris Knox, 22 May 2023, wedding at Villa Catignano, Castelnuovo Berardenga, Siena Verified booking on FixTheMusic
"Dear Traffic Lights, thank you for a great evening at our wedding in Valeggio sul Minico!! All our guests loved the show and the music during and after our wedding dinner, but also during the ceremony in the church. Thank you for a great day and I would always be happy to recommend you for other venues!!"
– Antonia & Florian Brenner, 20 January 2023, wedding at Finestra sul Fiume, Verona, Italy Verified booking on FixTheMusic
"Francesca and the band did an incredible job for our wedding - the communication, vibe and showmanship was awesome. They prepared bespoke songs for the set list at our request and they were awesome at creating the right atmosphere. Seriously, book these guys - it'll be the best thing you do!"
– Nick & Jess Lawton, 21 October 2022, wedding in Siena, Italy Verified booking on FixTheMusic
"The Traffic Lights were absolutely fantastic at our wedding in Italy. Francesca and the band made the day so special. Our guests still talk about how varies the music was and everyone was up dancing and singing all day and night. If I ever need a band again I will be booking them, regardless of where in the world I am! I would definitely recommend sizing up and getting the bigger group as the sounds are so impressive. The DJ they brought was also amazing, what a party! "
– Carly Thomas, 6 October 2022, wedding in Lake Como, Italy Verified booking on FixTheMusic
"Hi, Francesca and her band Traffic Lights gave us an outstanding performance at our small private party celebrating a 60th birthday party. Their repertoire is extensive, the delivery professional and of the highest quality. What made the night extraordinary was Francesca's ability to engage with us and appeal across the generations. She was also efficient and easy to deal with when making the booking and went to some considerable effort to tailor it to our needs. Francesca and her band turned a night of celebration into something memorable and amazing. Grazie Mille Francesca! Marianne Chapman and friends from Adelaide, Australia."
– Marianne Chapman, 12 September 2022, party at Belvedere Farmhouse, Fontanella, Florence, Italy Verified booking on FixTheMusic
"Amazing band made a really unique experience. Traffic Lights were amazing value for the price they charged, were extremely flexible, learnt our first dance song, which was quite a random one. Made it into a real party for the guests and Francesca really got into the performance and made the whole day very special."
– Lewis Kenney, 8 September 2022, wedding at Le Capannelle Wine Resort, Siena, Italy Verified booking on FixTheMusic
"We saw Francesca and the band 2 years previously in Florence and they made the effort to drive to France for our wedding and we could not be happier that they did. They were super energetic, knew how to work the crowd and basically ensured no one ever left the dance floor. I could not recommend this band more as they really made our wedding from the Ceremony to the Cocktail to learning the music for the first dance. If you are looking for an epic band that will make your wedding and keep the party going all night then look no further!"
– Vishal Rehan, 14 July 2022, wedding at Chateaux De la Valouze, France Verified booking on FixTheMusic
"I invited Traffic Lights as a surprise to my boyfriend’s 50th birthday. Preparations were very smooth thanks to frequent contacts with Francesca to discuss how to organise everything. The performance on the night itself was fantastic. The music choice was well adapted to the audience and we had great fun."
– Pierre Van Mechelen, 5 March 2022, 50th birthday party at Agriturismo il Pozzeto, Italy Verified booking on FixTheMusic
"Traffic Lights were amazing. Francesca (the lead singer) had the whole wedding party captivated! They have an extensive setlist and before the event, we selected the sort of genre/tracks we wanted to hear. We love old school R&B and also Motown, pop everything and Traffic Lights were able to deliver an amazing variety for us on our big day. I also really want to emphasise that Francesca is not only an amazing vocalist but she can also rap INCREDIBLY!!! So many guests at the wedding specifically mentioned how awesome it was to hear her rap so well. Thank you Traffic Lights!!!"

"We found Traffic Lights on FixTheMusic. We are from England and had our wedding in Italy so organising anything from a different country will always be difficult! But Traffic Lights made this easy for us, We spoke over WhatsApp regularly and they always made an effort to reply and answer any questions. They catered the music exactly to our liking. they have an excellent mix of songs and music that suit everyone’s liking to any event. I had a mixture of all of their music and I was not disappointed. The dance floor was full all night, there was not 1 person in their seat and they interacted with the guests. I could not have chosen a better band and I would recommend Traffic Lights to anyone. They made my wedding extra special!!!"
– Mica Watson, 14 July 2021, wedding at Agriturismo I Cedri, Barga, Lucca Verified booking on FixTheMusic
"Absolutely brilliant - everything about Traffic Lights is wonderful! From the moment I found them on the internet I knew that I wanted them to perform at our wedding. Francesca has so much energy and that really transpires through to the audience creating a wonderful ambience. We actually had the band play for our aperitif; soul, Motown songs with a saxophone. Then after dinner at the party, we asked the band to play rock, pop, upbeat songs. It was such a success - everyone was dancing and singing. Half the guests ended up in the pool. Just a brilliant evening. I cannot thank the band enough for making our wedding so perfect - if I had the choice of picking a different band - I wouldn't - such friendly, lovely people and so much talent. Everyone commented on how great they were. They made our evening. THANK YOU again for everything - lots and lots of love - sorry for the delay in reviewing! WE LOVE YOU x”
– Jemma & Mark Herget, 22 June 2021, wedding in Maratea, Potenza, Italy Verified booking on FixTheMusic
"Prior to the event we had a great Skype chat and discussed setlist, the band learned a couple of new songs especially for the night which was amazing. They were so professional, they arrived early in the day to set up and sound check, so that they wouldn’t disturb the rest of our celebration. They played as a four-piece and chose songs from a variety of genres, but all geared around dancing. The floor was packed throughout and everyone commented afterwards on how good they were. I really can’t commend Traffic Lights highly enough. They got the party going and Francesca’s infectious personality was a joy."
– Huw & Kate Fergusson, 31 October 2020, wedding at Hotel Villa Il Castagno, Florence, Italy Verified booking on FixTheMusic
"We booked Traffic Lights for our wedding in Tuscany and from the very first moment we made contact, it was a great experience. Communication was great, and we even Skyped with Fran in advance to talk through our requirements. She also came and met us in Florence when we visited a few months before the wedding. She went above and beyond. They were fabulous on the day, and we have friends who still tell us now how amazing they were and that the dance floor was full the whole night. We feel that Francesca and the band made our wedding day even better than we could have hoped for, and I look back with great memories of the day. They were also very flexible when our wedding dinner overran, they adapted to a 3-hour long set, with no breaks, no questions asked, instead of the planned 3x 40min sets. If you want a band for a wedding, these are the guys you want to have. Frans’s voice is amazing, her band are so talented, with an amazing range of music. They are so friendly, clearly enjoy what they do. Thank you for being part of our special day. I hope you can make other people’s days as great as ours. Keep on rocking xxx"
