“We absolutely loved Wonderfolk. We found them on the recommended list from our venue and loved the videos in the website so much we didn’t even consider any other options. This was the right decision. From the first dance and into the folk set our guests (of all ages) were dancing and didn’t stop until the band did. The second set (electric) was equally brilliant. We had so many comments about how great the band were and the dance floor was never empty. One of our wedding highlights was the final en core of Sweet Caroline, standing in the middle of a giant circle of our nearest and dearest. Wonderfolk made our wedding night even more special. Thank you.”

Their music is so great, very talented group, amazing vocals and our guests absolutely loved them - we purchased an acoustic set (1 hour) for during the day which was played outside whilst people enjoyed the countryside scenery and socialising. In the evening we had two 1 hour sets scattered and it was simply a vibe. So many people dancing, having a great time and literally everyone commented on how great the band was.

The band themselves were also incredible! The fellas were super friendly and punctual and had absolutely everyone on their feet all night. They played our first dance spectacularly, making changes as we asked and it went down an absolute storm! By far one of my husband and I's favourite moments of the day. Everyone LOVED this band. All of our guests wouldn't stop complimenting how amazing they were and they really made our day extra incredible. We knew when planning our wedding we wanted a band and were happy for the band to be our largest expense- Wonderfolk are worth every single penny and I would recommend them to everyone!

“Only a couple of days have passed since our wedding day but the amount of comments on how amazing Wonderfolk were is amazing. what a friendly and Wilco group of guys! They blended right in to the party as though they were our guests (which we encouraged). They arrived and set up with no hassle at all, and were totally flexible on the night to what we wanted. Musically and vocally they are fantastic. They know how to get a party going and keep people dancing all night.

Honestly words can’t describe how pleased we are with these guys. I would 100% recommend them to anyone, and in fact a friend at the wedding tried to book them there and then for his wedding in June!

If I can help out with any reviews or anything like that then do let me know because these guys were brilliant.

Thank you so much for representing such a top group of guys!”

FAQ

I really want to have a great party with everyone on the dance floor - are you the right band for that?

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.

Do you take requests?

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.

How long do you take to set-up?

60-90 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.

What time do you play?

At a time to suit your event, standard prices are for 2 hours of live music, any time between 7pm and midnight.

How long do you play for?

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.

Can you provide music for our drinks reception?

Yes - we can perform a 1 x 60-minute live lounge-style acoustic set as an add-on, which is perfect for during drinks or dinner.

What is the difference between the ‘pre-mixed DJ service’ that comes with the standard package and the 'band member to DJ live' which is an optional extra?

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.

Do you have your own PA and lighting?

Yes – all included in the price. You won't have to hire any additional equipment in.

What is the website guide price based on?

The published guide price is based on our 4-piece line-up performing at a venue within 30 miles of our base in Liverpool. We charge travel costs for venues further than 30 miles, and if your venue is more than a 2 hours 30 mins 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.

Our venue has a noise limiter, can you work with that?

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.

Do you have Public Liability Insurance and PAT tested equipment?

Yes.

Will you perform our first dance?

Yes, as long as we have three weeks' notice we will learn the first dance of your choice.

How much space do you require?

We have played in some very small spaces, but ideally a minimum of around 2.5m x 5m.

How much power do you require?

2 x 13-amp sockets are fine for our system.

Do I need to provide food/drinks?

The band's price includes a rider buyout fee. This means that they can arrange their own food and drinks so you don't have to.

Can we see you play live before booking?

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.

“Everything about booking Wondefolk has been simply amazing. Communication between Sam and Erin at Tailored Entertainment and ourselves has been smooth and prompt and very very easy! The band themselves were also incredible! The fellas were super friendly and punctual and had absolutely everyone on their feet all night. They played our first dance spectacularly, making changes as we asked and it went down an absolute storm! By far one of my husband and I's favourite moments of the day. Everyone LOVED this band. All of our guests wouldn't stop complimenting how amazing they were and they really made our day extra incredible. We knew when planning our wedding we wanted a band and were happy for the band to be our largest expense- Wonderfolk are worth every single penny and I would recommend them to everyone! Thank you so much to Wonderfolk and Tailored Entertainment for making our day!”

“Only a couple of days have passed since our wedding day but the amount of comments on how amazing Wonderfolk were is amazing. what a friendly and Wilco group of guys! They blended right in to the party as though they were our guests (which we encouraged). They arrived and set up with no hassle at all, and were totally flexible on the night to what we wanted. Musically and vocally they are fantastic. They know how to get a party going and keep people dancing all night.

Honestly words can’t describe how pleased we are with these guys. I would 100% recommend them to anyone, and in fact a friend at the wedding tried to book them there and then for his wedding in June!

If I can help out with any reviews or anything like that then do let me know because these guys were brilliant.

Thank you so much for representing such a top group of guys!”

Cannot recommend this group enough and had we known how awesome they were before, we wouldn’t hesitate to pay double for them!!”

“We booked this band extremely last minute, I cannot fault them, we are already looking at booking them for other events. Everyone loved them and we had the best night at our party all due to the band (and well maybe a few drinks). I would recommend booking this band if you would like a night full of fun, laughter and dancing!”

FAQ

I really want to have a great party with everyone on the dance floor - are you the right band for that?

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.

Do you take requests?

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.

How long do you take to set-up?

60-90 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.

What time do you play?

At a time to suit your event, standard prices are for 2 hours of live music, any time between 7pm and midnight.

How long do you play for?

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.

Can you provide music for our drinks reception?

Yes - we can perform a 1 x 60-minute live lounge-style acoustic set as an add-on, which is perfect for during drinks or dinner.

What is the difference between the ‘pre-mixed DJ service’ that comes with the standard package and the 'band member to DJ live' which is an optional extra?

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.

Do you have your own PA and lighting?

Yes – all included in the price. You won't have to hire any additional equipment in.

What is the website guide price based on?

The published guide price is based on our 4-piece line-up performing at a venue within 30 miles of our base in Liverpool. We charge travel costs for venues further than 30 miles, and if your venue is more than a 2 hours 30 mins 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.

Our venue has a noise limiter, can you work with that?

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.

Do you have Public Liability Insurance and PAT tested equipment?

Yes.

Will you perform our first dance?

Yes, as long as we have three weeks' notice we will learn the first dance of your choice.

How much space do you require?

We have played in some very small spaces, but ideally a minimum of around 2.5m x 5m.

How much power do you require?

2 x 13-amp sockets are fine for our system.

Do I need to provide food/drinks?

The band's price includes a rider buyout fee. This means that they can arrange their own food and drinks so you don't have to.

Can we see you play live before booking?

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.
