Brightside

“Brightside were nothing short of incredible at our wedding, the dance floor was full from start to finish and they read the room perfectly knowing just what to play to keep the energy going throughout. All of our guests commented on how brilliant they were. Music is so important to us and we searched high and low for a band that had a varied repertoire including our favourite music and some crowd pleasers; importantly we wanted a band that brought the right energy, and were authentic musicians - which we found the hardest part - so many popular wedding bands didn’t make our shortlist! Brightside ticked every box, and felt like an authentic band that we would pay to go and see live. They were an absolute pleasure to have on our team on the day - we had great feedback at how genuinely lovely and efficient they were behind the scenes too. In the run up to the wedding, they were very accommodating of our special song requests - we were absolutely blown away with their version of one of our favourite Bloc Party songs, which was definitely not an easy one - they obviously put a lot of time and effort into rehearsing it. Our last dance special request was also amazing, and just perfect to finish off the night. Tailored entertainment were very easy to work with, very professional, clear contracting process and well managed. Our biggest thanks to Brightside and Tailored Entertainment for making our dream wedding dance floor music a reality!”

“First of all I want to say that the booking process was simple and easy going through Tailored Entertainment. We knew that they had been to our venue, Crockwell Farm, before so that made things a lot easier for us. We also knew straight away that we wanted Brightside to perform as the videos showed just how amazing they were on the website. We were lucky enough for the band to be happy to learn a new song for our first dance, James Bay’s version of Simply the Best and OMG on the day that was AMAZING! We had no end of people coming to us during and after the wedding to say just how great the band were. Their energy really lit up the room and we just had the most amazing time on the dance floor. We could not have asked for better, it was perfect and we were so lucky to have had them on the stage.”

“The booking process from start to finish was brilliant. Brightside were absolutely excellent and exactly what we were looking for. They had the dance floor filled and many guests commented on how good they were. They learnt our first dance song and made our wedding reception the party we wanted. Anyone looking for an indie rock band don't hesitate to book Brightside!”

“5/5 - This is the second wedding we’ve had the pleasure of having this band play at within our family. We will never stop recommending them. At both weddings the biggest compliments were about how incredible the band was. Thank you Brightside! We can’t wait to book you for future events!!”

“Brightside was fantastic. The guys were really friendly and easy to work with. Everything was on time and they managed the sets really well to get everyone on the dance floor at the right times! All of our guests commented on how good they were and it really made the day. We would highly recommend the band to anyone.”

“Thanks so much, we had the best day and Brightside were a big part of making it so enjoyable. Everything was perfect, the dance floor was full the whole time the band were playing. We asked for a special request 2 weeks before and the band learnt it to a tee and smashed it!! We couldn’t recommend them enough. They brought so much energy! We just wanted to say a big thank you to Chloe & Tailored Entertainment for organising everything with the band! You made everything so easy for us with no stress and went above with asking the band for that special song request!”

“Brightside were absolutely incredible! From the minute they started, they kept up the energy and performed the best set list that had our guests dancing all night! The guys were so lovely and put on a brilliant show. Thank you for making our night awesome!”

“Thank you so so much. We had the best day. The band were incredibly relaxed and easy to deal with. So many of our guests commented on how good the band were and they really made the afternoon and evening. Couldn’t ask for any more. Thank you again!”

“Our experience with the band was excellent. They arrived promptly, set up quickly and played our sets as requested. They were all very helpful and friendly. They were also very accommodating with the music we wanted, whilst also learning our first dance song. We had a load of people raving about how good they were. We were really delighted with the whole experience.”

“5/5 - We couldn't have asked anything more from Brightside. When they arrived, they came over to us and introduced themselves which was a little touch but something that we really appreciated. They were absolutely amazing and every guest raved about them and still talk to us about them. They had everyone on the dance floor throughout the evening and created an amazing atmosphere. We would like to thank them for making our evening so special and one we will never forget.”

“The band were incredible, really nice and friendly guys who interacted well with all of our guests, even those who thought they could help out after a few drinks… The acoustic and the evening sets they did were exactly what we were after and it sounded great. We had loads of good feedback from the guests too. We had been looking for a 4-piece band primarily but actually these guys as a 3-piece were easily just as good as a 4-piece would have been. The booking and planning process was also really seamless and easy which made our planning a lot easier! I honestly don’t think there is anything more that we could’ve asked for from the whole thing.”

“Brightside were hired to perform at our wedding, myself and my new wife were happy with the band overall and thought the sets that they performed were fantastic. All of the guests also remarked how amazing the band was. The communication with Chloe at Tailored was great. Any questions or queries that I had leading up to the big day were always answered within a couple of days, if not the same day. She was very professional and is a credit to the company. The band were very accommodating when it came to allowing the bride's sister to sing the first dance song with the band providing the back. I would highly recommend the band and Tailored to anyone who is looking for a band for their functions.”

“Thanks for your help with booking the band, they were amazing!”

“Brightside were floor-fillers. 5 Star. All of my guests commented how good they were. They made the dance floor and floor was filled with all ages dancing. Well worth the money. Could not have wished for a better band and they played out first dance. Been to many weddings (but not as the groom) but this was everything we wanted. Also everyone shouted for one last song when they had finished, they obliged with Sweet Caroline, again it filled the floor with everyone going mad in a good way. Well done! Mr Brightside was hilarious in the video of the guests. This is now the song of the night. Chloe, band manager ended up communicating with us directly - Well done Chloe, superb. Well done all of you. Wedding was perfect and you put the cherry on the cake. Thank you. Amy, Duncan & all of our guests.”

“Thank you so much to the band! They were incredible everyone enjoyed their performances. Would highly recommend to any future weddings looking for a band!”

“Having never heard Brightside play live but having been smitten by their website videos, we took our chances, having been let down by our original choice. Communication from Tailored Entertainment was second to none from the start and we started to feel that we might just have a band on the night after all! What an evening, the dance floor was never empty, the bride was never off it and we’ve had so many positive comments from guests about the music. The guys were just lovely, fun, played to the audience and looked as if they were genuinely enjoying themselves. We would 110% recommend both Tailored Entertainment and Brightside to anyone. Thank you all so very much for the icing on the cake.”

“Just to say thank you so much to Chloe from Tailored Entertainment for her quick replies to emails leading up to the wedding and for answering any queries we had. It was a really enjoyable part of the planning, so thank you! As for the band, they were incredible! Besides congratulation, the next comment I got most often were how incredible the band were, everyone really enjoyed them, lots of family and friends asking for details for future events. We both agreed it was one of the best decisions we made about the day, and can’t wait to find another excuse to book the band again. Thank you so much, as well as the music all seemed so lovely and accommodating as well, which made all the difference. Our first dance song felt so special, and the dance floor Always seemed to be packed for the live sets! Thank you so much, I will recommend you in a heartbeat, you really all made our wedding day that much more special.”

“Ever since we had Brightside as our wedding band our friends and families have all been telling us what a good pick they were! We are so happy we picked Brightside band, they kept the dance floor full the whole night, and they also did an acoustic set for us during the afternoon, this was really special. The band even learnt our first dance song despite it not being in their repertoire. Thank you so much Brightside band for helping to make the day so special for us both.”

“Brightside were incredible!! Please pass on our huge thanks to the band. We were so happy with their version of our first dance, and every song they played was right up our street! I don’t think I left the dance floor for the entire set! They were also a big hit with all our guests too, and managed to entice even the reluctant dancers onto the dance floor. Brightside were definitely one of the big highlights of the day and we’re so glad we booked them!”

“The staff were super helpful as we had to move our wedding a few times over Covid, but each time the team were great, and just supported us, nothing was too much. The band on the day were amazing! Everyone loved the music, and the vibe they brought with it. Such nice guys, really polite and accommodating. We loved having them as part of our day.”

“Brilliant, really enjoyed them and the guests had a fantastic time. They got everybody dancing. They were very friendly and smiley too.”

“Amazing, amazing, AMAZING! One of my biggest worries about the day was that there would be an empty looking dance floor (because my now-husband and I are not usually big on dancing, and we thought people wouldn't dance if we didn't). I couldn't have been more wrong - the dance floor was packed all night, particularly the second half, and I think the band were eventually wanting us to stop dancing so they could leave.”

“We were absolutely thrilled with Brightside's performance. It was honestly the highlight of our day (second to actually getting married). We loved that they could perform our first song live (we were nervous having not been able to pre-hear it) but we needn't have worried, it was fantastic! The song choices went down a storm and we had so many compliments on how good the band was - they really did exceed our expectations, nobody wanted the party to end- so thank you so much for adding to our special day!”

“The band were fantastic! Please pass on our thanks to them, they were so accommodating and did a great selection of tracks. Really lovely guys too. Also thank you to them for performing our first dance. Many of our guests commented on how great they thought the band was.”

“Brightside were amazing! They really made our event come to life and had everyone dancing until the end of the night. We had so many compliments from our guests. We loved it all - from their acoustic set, to the main evening sets and the DJ breaks in between. Brightside were happy to play requests and knew exactly what the crowd wanted. The guys were brilliant and ran everything smoothly on the evening. Can't fault them and would recommend them to anyone!”

“We loved Brightside, they made our day so special and performed our first dance perfectly. They really got everyone on the dance floor and put on a great show! Really great to chat to, couldn’t recommend them enough. Professional, talented, and amazing our day wouldn’t have been the same without them!!”

“Amazing! The band were insane! We and all our guests were so impressed.”

“Brightside were simply brilliant! The afternoon set was the perfect background to the reception and the band were so good we had a number of people simply sit and watch them rather than play the garden games. Great selection of music played incredibly. Then the night! Just wow! The band was super accommodating with organising our first dance. The guys were easy to communicate with and were very easy-going as the dinner/speeches over-ran a bit. Once they started playing, the dance floor filled and didn't empty except when they had to take their breaks but it was full again after the played the first note. The band learned a song for us as a special request and nailed it. I've been getting feedback from everyone who attended that they were incredible and I can say that they really made the night. Song selection was great, they were high energy and really played to the crowd who just loved it. Honestly could not fault a thing with them all night. Even the nice touch of letting us choose a final song to play through the PA let us play a special song to finish the party. I hope they travel near Manchester because my sister-in-law is getting married there next July and I think that they want to book Brightside for their wedding too, they were just that good. I really hope that they had a good time too - it was the best day of our lives and they really made it something extra special. Would happily write any review or recommendations that they need to promote them.”

“Brightside were absolutely amazing, they made our wedding day more than we ever dreamt of. They introduced themselves to us and absolutely made the whole evening such great fun and a day we will never forget. They sang our first dance song so perfectly, and we will never forget the impact they had on our biggest day. We can't thank you enough. The booking process and communication throughout was also amazing and everything went so smoothly.”

“The band were AMAZING! Such high energy all night and the dance floor was full. They exceeded expectations and everyone has commented on why incredible singers they were. Our first dance was such a random song but the band played it incredibly and we were in awe. Please pass on our thanks to the band as they honestly made our day.”

“5/5*”

“We cannot thank the lovely guys of Brightside enough for all they did on our special day. Super organised and couldn't have been nicer. They sounded incredible in both the acoustic set and the evening sets. Learning our first dance song and playing it live was just so cool to see, you can really tell they just love what they do. So many guests comments throughout the night too of how good they sounded. We hope this isn’t the last time we see Brightside live!!”

“We couldn’t be more pleased with the service we received from Tailored Entertainment. Communication was always easy and quick and we were constantly kept in the loop. The band ‘Brightside’ were absolutely amazing, our guests were blown away. Everyone has said they have rarely been at a wedding where the guests were on the dance floor all night! We love that they learnt our first dance song, it was so special. A night we will never forget! Thank you so much!”

“Incredible! The whole process of booking has been smooth, easy, really well detailed and professional. The band on the night were absolutely amazing! All of our guests couldn't say it enough. We couldn't have been happier with the whole performance - they performed our first dance beautifully and created such an atmosphere! We were slightly later than planned in starting our first dance as we were working with the photographer around the rainy intervals and they were so patient and pleasant to everyone. So grateful, thank you!”

“The band were amazing!!!! We absolutely loved them and the first dance song was beautiful, it was just what we wanted! We really thank you for making the evening so great!!!”

“Band were very flexible to our needs both in planning and on the day, leading to a very smooth experience. They delivered a phenomenal performance which everyone was talking about - they got the whole party dancing which is exactly what we wanted. Thanks!”

“Honestly one of the best parts of the day! The band were so friendly and engaging, and we couldn't fault them in any way. They did brilliantly with learning our first dance song since it's not a well-known song at all, and they nailed it :D everyone loved them and had such an amazing time, so we hope the band enjoyed themselves too x”

“These guys were literally the best band you could ask for. Incredible musicians and flexible to fit in with the inevitably delayed timings. Had everyone dancing from song one with amazing music. Great feedback from every guest. If you’re considering them then just go for it.”

“We loved our wedding band so much, the acoustic set was perfect while we had our post-ceremony drinks and canapés and the evening sets were just brilliant, our wedding day really wouldn’t have been the same without them. So many of our guests said how good the band was, the selection of songs certainly got everyone up and dancing, and it was great that the set list also covered various music eras so that there was a bit of something for all ages to enjoy. Would definitely recommend and use again!
And thank you Tailored Entertainment for recommending them to us, you made finding a band for our wedding so much easier. We’ve been recommending you guys to our newly engaged friends too!”

“The band were absolutely amazing! They honestly made the atmosphere at our wedding amazing and had everyone dancing all night! Could not fault them and would highly recommend them to anyone thinking of booking! Better than we ever could have imagined!”

“We just wanted to say a massive thank you for helping us have the perfect wedding day! We're still on a high reminiscing and looking at photos and videos. We had the absolute time of our lives dancing the night away! Thank you for getting everyone up and dancing, the playlists were perfect, and your version of Only Love was stunning!”

“The band were absolutely excellent. It’s really hard to choose a band who are going to perform live when you’ve only heard recorded tracks however Brightside surpassed our expectations and we were so pleased we booked them. After waiting two years because of COVID delays they were well worth the wait. Thank you so much for rounding off our wedding day with a brilliant evening of absolute bangers.”

“An amazing experience from start to finish, if I could give Brightside more than 5 stars I would! ”

“Brightside were absolutely fantastic! They were so warm and friendly, got all our friends on the dance floor and were so much fun. I'd highly recommend booking them. They were brilliant!”

“Brightside were ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. Right from the acoustic first dance all the way to the end they were perfect, great songs that had everyone on the dance floor for the whole night. Thank you all so much!”

“Thank you all of you for making our wedding day run as well as it did and the band were amazing! ”

“What can I say... Brightside are incredible!! We have seen them at two friends' weddings previously, and it felt special having them play at our big day too as they have gotten to know us through the past two weddings. They were great fun and very amenable to our requests (including letting my husband sing and also a friend sing as well). The songs they play could not fail to get people on the dance floor. We have had so many comments on how much fun our evening was, and this was all down to this fantastic band. Thank you so much for completing our day.”

“Brightside were absolutely FANTASTIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We are so pleased we booked the guys - the dance floor was jam packed the whole night with all of our friends and family of all ages - we wish we could have carried on later in to the night! Thank you so much for an amazing performance and entertaining us for the evening! You guys rock!”

“Brightside were absolutely amazing! All of our guests have been raving about them, they managed to get everyone up on the dance floor and were just incredible! We loved that they threw in a Christmas song as well! Thank you so much to the band, it was the most perfect wedding party!”

“They absolutely smashed it, was an amazing performance and it made our wedding fab. Thanks so much!!”

“Brightside were absolutely incredible. Their performance was fantastic from start to finish, and hearing our first dance song live was so special. We can’t thank them enough for playing and getting everyone up and dancing!”

“Absolutely incredible performance from the band which really topped off our big day leaving us with memories from the dance floor that we will cherish forever”

“Amazing band and music was great, the performers looked great and kept the crowd engaged was a great event.”

“We couldn't be happier with Brightside and their performance, and can't recommend them enough. Brightside structured the set list fantastically, feeding off the crowd and playing the perfect set list to build momentum and keep the dance floor packed at all times. Each of the band were perfect gentlemen on the night as well - very easy to get along with and being very accommodating and relaxed when a guest was dancing a little close to their set up or accidentally smashed a glass by their equipment. Aside from this, each member of the band is truly talented and their preview medley doesn't do justice to how great this band sounds live and how well they play their instruments. Whilst connecting with the crowd and delivering a great performance, the band made sure that we were the focal point of the night. Our guests have been raving about Brightside since the wedding and everyone has said how good the band was - we can't think of any band we would rather have had on our wedding day.”

“The band were very professional, polite and fantastic performers. All the guests commented on how good they were. Thank you so much for a great night! :-) ”

“They were amazing and such a lovely bunch of guys. Thank you so much for a great evening.”

“Brightside were excellent at our wedding. Their song choices had the place rocking from start to finish. Crystal clear vocals. Highly recommended.”

“Everyone loved the band, they were amazing and we would definitely use them again if we had the need. They really made the night and got everyone up and dancing.”

“The band were fantastic!! They catered to all our needs perfectly and performed the first dance which they had to learn beautifully. They were so laid back and really got the night going. Please pass on our regards to them for making our day even more special.”

“We had such a fantastic night celebrating our wedding with Brightside on Saturday. They were absolutely brilliant! We weren’t sure what a post-Covid dance floor would look like and how our guests would respond to being in such close contact with people again, but Brightside got everyone up and dancing by the end of the night! So many of our guests have commented on the quality of the music and how talented the guys are. For many it was the first live music they have seen in 2 years and they have said it’s given them the excitement back for going out to see bands play live, which is amazing. Please pass our thanks on to the band because they were incredible! They played an amazing selection of songs and really gauged their audience correctly! I didn’t imagine that the early 2000’s pop punk (Blink 182, Wheatus) would be so popular with our guests but as soon as the dance floor began filling up they continued to play more in this genre and people were absolutely loving it.”

“We cannot put into words how great the band was! They came over to introduce themselves to us, checked in with us at times for when big dances happened and spoke to us in the breaks! They played a great version of our first dance! The music was just brilliant the dance floor was packed for the night which was great to see! We have had so many comments about how brilliant they were.”

“Best decision of the whole process was booking Brightside. If you’re thinking of booking them, just do it. What an absolute class act! Outstanding in every way - starting with an understated acoustic set for reception drinks then bringing massive energy for the evening main sets. Such a nice bunch of lads, really seemed to enjoy what they do which makes a huge difference. They helped us out with a mic and speaker for the speeches and even allowed one of my groomsmen to join them on stage for a song! What a “Tribute”! Thanks so much, you genuinely made the day!”

“The band were electric, amazing, I could not recommend them more. Brilliant!”

“Brightside were more than exceptional- there isn’t a single guest who didn’t seek us out to compliment them. The atmosphere they created was incredible, they were so professional but still got really involved in the party, tailoring their set specifically for us. I can’t say enough good things about them - they made the party worth the (COVID) wait, and sounded insanely good. Thank you thank you thank you - best wedding decision we made since getting engaged!”

“Guys you are just amazing, thanks for totally rocking at the wedding it was a fantastic evening. Is was so good to see so many people just getting lost in the moment and having such a great time.”

“Good morning,
Just wanted to say a really heartfelt thank you from both of us. We had the BEST time imaginable yesterday and have truly started our lives together in style. Thanks so much for everything you did and have done over this whirlwind of wedding planning!
All the best, Mr & Mrs Rice”

“Brightside were fantastic at our wedding, right from the first dance everyone was on their feet and the dance floor was never empty! Every song was performed excellently and they were great at engaging the crowd, we’ve had so many messages saying how amazing the live music was and we are so pleased with how it turned out! Thank you so much!”

“Everyone commented on how amazing the band were. They were very polite and very accommodating. We couldn’t have asked for anything more.”

“Brightside were the highlight of our wedding, we and our guests absolutely loved them! They were fantastic, provided a great performance and had the dance floor packed all night! They were really lovely and relaxed and got stuck in and kept to timings really well. We hope they enjoyed it as much as we did. I was also really impressed with Erin and the team at Tailored Entertainment, you were all very responsive and helpful with any questions we had in the lead up to our Wedding. I have already been recommending you to our friends and family. Thank you for helping to make our day so memorable!”

“Absolutely fantastic band; everyone was on the dance floor and they were complimented by everyone. Big thank you.”

“Brightside were excellent. Very professional but also relaxed, helpful and charming. The performance was just what our son and daughter-in-law wanted. Three great sets of excellent covers; including 2 encores. They were unobtrusive through set-up, sound check and packing away. The best thing was that they got everyone dancing - we should have got a bigger dance floor.”

“Band was very good and welcoming. Very good reviews and compliments from our guests.”

“We had loads of comments from people saying that the band was great and people asking where we had found them. They did an amazing job and made our wedding so much fun! They were also really nice guys to chat to.”

“The guys were amazing. Turned up on time, friendly and polite. Would highly recommend these guys, very talented. Any future events I will definitely trying to book them. Thank you!”

“The band were absolutely fantastic! Made our event 100%, would recommend to anyone!”

“Thank you so much for providing Brightside for us on our special day. I can not express how amazing they were and how pleased we were with them. Everyone was dancing from the second they started playing until the very end, they exceeded all expectations. They were such genuine nice guys and we can’t wait to have another excuse to hire them again.”

“Brightside are fantastic! We are so thoroughly pleased they could play at our wedding. Even learnt to play our first dance, which was amazing. Guests certainly enjoyed them and all have said how great they were. So many people were on the dancefloor with plenty asking for 'one more song'. Would not hesitate to book them again for an event. Tailored entertainment has been great too with communication & booking.”

“We have had literally dozens of our guests say they were the best wedding band they've ever seen - our friends have already booked them for their wedding too, we can't wait to see them again! Brightside were so professional, friendly and accommodating of our wishes playing multiple sets - they even learned a new song for the ceremony. They were the perfect soundtrack to the best day of our lives!”

“I would just like to say a huge thank you to you all for helping us create such a memorable event last Monday. We got so many compliments from our guests about how great you were! You set the tone from the start with a great selection of upbeat songs, and we hope we can work with you again for future events! Thanks again for everything.”

“I had Brightside to play at my 50th Birthday, they were fantastic and come highly recommended, they played a whole range of music keeping the dance floor packed all night, thank you Rob, Dan and Jack you made my birthday a night to remember. You guys were truly Awesome!!!”
