    Posted: 21 Apr 2013 at 10:38pm
Have been trying to do as little as possible in relation to organising the wedding but I have come to the conclusion that if I leave her to it entirely, it could end up a disaster with regard to the music. Maybe I'm putting too much emphasis on it but I reckon a really decent band is pretty important, I know everyone will be generally gee eyed by the time they play and even mediocre bands sound magnificent when everyone is pissed.

Anyway can anyone recommend a decent band? I've contacted a few and seen some of them and they all seem to be much of a muchness, identical playlists with all the usual wedding "favourites" (I use the word favourite very loosely. I know the masses need to be pleased but I'm looking for a band that might do something a bit different (and well) by playing some alternative stuff.

Any help either here or by PM would be welcome.

Thanks.

Cheers for that. Saw them last night at a wedding (on the sly - but with the blessing of the Bride), the venue wasn't ideal but good to know they come recommended.

Agreed. By far the best band I've seen at a wedding.

Helped a mate out with the wedding band there last year, basically they all look crap on Youtube, but will be great after a day of drinking.

Spring Break are great, but expensive. We went with The Aristocrats in the end.

My brother plays in After Dark. I'm glad you gave them a plug so I wouldn't have to.

I've booked the wiseguys for mine.

Saw them at a few showcases and they were good. Different story with a few pints on board anyway.

Got a bit sick of going to watch bands before we picked one.
