Responsive to emails - very clear about what you needed from us and the band info sheet for song selections etc. was very intuitive. Had a few email conversations about set structure and learning a first dance which we sent well in advance and had prompt and sensible responses to - no concerns!
Festival Folk:
Excellent fun. Clearly understood the feel we were going for and created a fantastic set based around that. Although our first dance song choice needed a bit of interpretation to fit with their arrangement they managed it perfectly and honestly I'd say it should be included in their repertoire! Arrived on time, set up quietly, did one full song (not from set) as sound check with no additional noise made. Great crowd interaction, slick set with zero gaps between songs, played 2 full sets of great choices. Loved it!”
“We just wanted to pass on a quick message to the band because they were AMAZING!! Festival Folk absolutely made our wedding, every single song was brilliant and the dance floor was full from start to finish.

We could not have asked for a better day!

Everything went so smoothly and all our guests were so impressed by the evenings entertainment. You really know how to get the party started. Our guests could not tear themselves away from the dance floor. It was just a perfect fit for us, the music, your personalities, your professionalism.
The service you provided is a credit to the hard work and dedication you put into your job. I know you must have hundreds of weddings but you made us feel like we were the only ones!
We honestly cannot thank you enough for all your hard work.
I hope our guests weren’t too crazy, many have said that it’s the best wedding they have ever been to!
Please do pass my message onto all the team so they are aware of what an asset you are to all the couples you entertain for.”
“Festival Folk were just awesome! They played at our wedding a few weeks ago and I really cannot thank you all enough for making the evening so memorable, personal and perfect. The band and the team were very professional & personable, they arrived with plenty of time for set up and once they started playing - WOW! All the guests are still talking about how great you were and what a fantastic evening they had, I don't think I left the dance floor all evening and you truly added to making our day so perfect. As having experience planning a wedding, I felt a little nervous not knowing exactly how the band would be as I hadn't seen them in person, however hands down Festival Folk really are fantastic and I would recommend to anyone booking them for an event or very special day. A big thank you to you all we hope to see you again soon at another wedding, or maybe we will plan another party :-)”

Absolutely! We have been performing at weddings and events for several years and have an infectious live show that guarantees a packed dance floor and a party that you and your guests will remember for years to come! Our repertoire features the biggest classic and current chart hits, so there's certainly something for everyone.
We are happy to perform one special request for you - for weddings this is usually the first dance. You can also let us know your top 10 preferences from the repertoire, as well as send up to 30 requests for the disco - so you can be sure to hear all your favourites on the evening.
90 minutes. If you are organising a wedding or event where the evening reception is in the same room as your meal, we often arrive to set-up while the room is turned around - we can have background music playing within around 30 minutes of load in.
At a time to suit your event, standard prices are for 2 hours of live music, any time between 7pm and midnight.
We perform 2 x 60-minute live sets (or 3 x 40 minutes) in the evening and also provide a pre-mixed disco (tailored to your tastes) before and after live sets, so your whole night of entertainment is covered in one booking.
Yes - we can perform a 1 x 60-minute acoustic band set as an add-on, which is perfect for during drinks or dinner.
The pre-mixed DJ service is where the band put on a bespoke playlist (you can request up to 30 songs in advance for this) through the PA before and after their live sets. We do this at most events and it works great - the volume of the music would be the same as if you had a DJ.
If you upgrade to the live DJ service, you can still send over preferences in advance, but you will also have a band member selecting and mixing tracks live on the night, as well as taking requests. The DJ will be happy to make important announcements but they will not talk constantly over or between tracks (that's just not our style!). We also think it's important to say that the DJ won't have a separate DJ booth - they will set up in an appropriate space (ideally to the side of the stage) and the PA/lighting will be the same as what is being used by the band.
Yes – all included in the price. You won't have to hire any additional equipment in.
The published guide price is based on our 4-piece line-up performing at a venue within 30 miles of our base in Kent. We charge travel costs for venues further than 30 miles, and if your venue is more than a 2 hour drive home, we charge a bit extra so we can book accommodation. For an accurate quote please contact us with your event date and venue details.
Yes, we regularly work at venues with noise limiters. We are happy to contact the venue in advance of the event to make sure we have all the required information to enable us to plan accordingly.
Yes.
Yes, as long as we have three weeks' notice we will learn the first dance of your choice.
We have played in some very small spaces, but ideally a minimum of around 2.5m x 5m.
2 x 13-amp sockets are fine for our system.
The band's standard rider is for a hot meal and soft drinks for the band members or a £25 pp + sound engineer rider buyout.
As a professional function band our bookings tend to be weddings and private events that unfortunately we are unable to invite guests to. Our videos are a very accurate insight into our look and sound, and we'd also encourage you to check out our testimonials page to see what previous clients have said about their experience with the band.

Claire - Wedding, Two Woods Estate, Pulborough“THANK YOU, for making our day so perfect and special.
We could not have asked for a better day!
We are still on cloud nine and we can’t stop looking at all the photos from the day.
Everything went so smoothly and all our guests were so impressed by the evenings entertainment. You really know how to get the party started. Our guests could not tear themselves away from the dance floor. It was just a perfect fit for us, the music, your personalities, your professionalism.
The service you provided is a credit to the hard work and dedication you put into your job. I know you must have hundreds of weddings but you made us feel like we were the only ones!
We honestly cannot thank you enough for all your hard work.
I hope our guests weren’t too crazy, many have said that it’s the best wedding they have ever been to!
Please do pass my message onto all the team so they are aware of what an asset you are to all the couples you entertain for.”
“Festival Folk were just awesome! They played at our wedding a few weeks ago and I really cannot thank you all enough for making the evening so memorable, personal and perfect. The band and the team were very professional & personable, they arrived with plenty of time for set up and once they started playing - WOW! All the guests are still talking about how great you were and what a fantastic evening they had, I don't think I left the dance floor all evening and you truly added to making our day so perfect. As having experience planning a wedding, I felt a little nervous not knowing exactly how the band would be as I hadn't seen them in person, however hands down Festival Folk really are fantastic and I would recommend to anyone booking them for an event or very special day. A big thank you to you all we hope to see you again soon at another wedding, or maybe we will plan another party :-)”

Absolutely! We have been performing at weddings and events for several years and have an infectious live show that guarantees a packed dance floor and a party that you and your guests will remember for years to come! Our repertoire features the biggest classic and current chart hits, so there's certainly something for everyone.
We are happy to perform one special request for you - for weddings this is usually the first dance. You can also let us know your top 10 preferences from the repertoire, as well as send up to 30 requests for the disco - so you can be sure to hear all your favourites on the evening.
90 minutes. If you are organising a wedding or event where the evening reception is in the same room as your meal, we often arrive to set-up while the room is turned around - we can have background music playing within around 30 minutes of load in.
At a time to suit your event, standard prices are for 2 hours of live music, any time between 7pm and midnight.
We perform 2 x 60-minute live sets (or 3 x 40 minutes) in the evening and also provide a pre-mixed disco (tailored to your tastes) before and after live sets, so your whole night of entertainment is covered in one booking.
Yes - we can perform a 1 x 60-minute acoustic band set as an add-on, which is perfect for during drinks or dinner.
The pre-mixed DJ service is where the band put on a bespoke playlist (you can request up to 30 songs in advance for this) through the PA before and after their live sets. We do this at most events and it works great - the volume of the music would be the same as if you had a DJ.
If you upgrade to the live DJ service, you can still send over preferences in advance, but you will also have a band member selecting and mixing tracks live on the night, as well as taking requests. The DJ will be happy to make important announcements but they will not talk constantly over or between tracks (that's just not our style!). We also think it's important to say that the DJ won't have a separate DJ booth - they will set up in an appropriate space (ideally to the side of the stage) and the PA/lighting will be the same as what is being used by the band.
Yes – all included in the price. You won't have to hire any additional equipment in.
The published guide price is based on our 4-piece line-up performing at a venue within 30 miles of our base in Kent. We charge travel costs for venues further than 30 miles, and if your venue is more than a 2 hour drive home, we charge a bit extra so we can book accommodation. For an accurate quote please contact us with your event date and venue details.
Yes, we regularly work at venues with noise limiters. We are happy to contact the venue in advance of the event to make sure we have all the required information to enable us to plan accordingly.
Yes.
Yes, as long as we have three weeks' notice we will learn the first dance of your choice.
We have played in some very small spaces, but ideally a minimum of around 2.5m x 5m.
2 x 13-amp sockets are fine for our system.
The band's standard rider is for a hot meal and soft drinks for the band members or a £25 pp + sound engineer rider buyout.
As a professional function band our bookings tend to be weddings and private events that unfortunately we are unable to invite guests to. Our videos are a very accurate insight into our look and sound, and we'd also encourage you to check out our testimonials page to see what previous clients have said about their experience with the band.
For a friendly chat about your live music requirements, please give us a call, email or message via the contact form and we'll be back to you shortly. Our team of entertainment experts are ready to help and will be delighted to hear from you.
