Please pass on our sincere thanks.”

Chris Marshall - Wedding Halll Place & Gardens, Bexley“Can I also just take this time to say how brilliant the band were on Saturday. All our friends absolutely loved it. It was such a brilliant day and to have Funk You perform and end it on such a high, made it even better. I would say that we would be recommending them to our friends, but they did that all by themselves that evening! I'm already trying to work out what events we either have coming up (or what events I can find an excuse) to get in contact with you again to use their services once more! Thanks again, so much.”
Simon & Lucy Johnson! - Wedding, The Old Greens Barn, Surrey“The band were fantastic! We had so many people telling us they were great, the music was completely up our street and great to dance to.

Rachel Markham - Wedding, The Old Hall Bed & Breakfast, Ely“We really wanted to give feedback on the band as they were ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!!! I never stopped dancing from the moment they started until they finished! I've had SO MANY people telling me they thought they were amazing, and they had everyone up dancing. I literally couldn't fault them, please pass on our feedback to the guys (im pretty sure after a few too many glasses of champagne I told them a million times anyway!) But yes....just fantastic!!! Thank you so much!”
Michelle & George Barlow - Wedding, As You Like It, Newcastle Upon Tyne“Can I also just take this time to say how brilliant the band were on Saturday. All our friends absolutely loved it.

Rachel Markham - Wedding, The Old Hall Bed & Breakfast, Ely“Hi Phoebe, Could you please pass our thanks on to the band for Saturday night. They were amazing & so talented. All night I had people asking who they were and where I found them. They kept people dancing all night & people were even offering us money to get them to play longer! Couldn't of been more impressed. They were the cherry on top of our perfect day! Thank you so much :)”
Anna & Sam - The Stadium, HM YOI Portland“8 months since our wedding people are still commenting on how great the band were! Funk You! we’re polite, professional and accommodating. We were running about an hour behind and the band sacrificed their breaks to play their entire 2 hour set of floor filling music. The old school to new school hip hop and funk tracks meant that the youngest and oldest guests could get their dance on. I would pay to see these guys play tomorrow. I can not recommend the band enough…if you do hire them, please invite us to the evening do so we can join in the fun!”
Mark Webb - Wedding, Ridge Farm, Surrey
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 dancefloor fillers from 60s – current chart, 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.
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.
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.
Although we do not provide any additional sets for drinks receptions, we highly recommend the wedding ceremony musicians and drinks reception acts featured on the Tailored Entertainment roster.
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 Portsmouth. 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.
I'm afraid not, our performance style and repertoire is not suited to noise limiter venues and we'd recommend asking the team at Tailored Entertainment for an alternative act who would be able to work at your venue.
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 £15 pp 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.
