“Thank you all SO much for being so bloody amazing at our wedding. We loved you from the first time we saw you. We are so happy we booked you for our wedding. It was the highlight of our day. All our guests absolutely loved you! Most already knew how good you are, but the ones that have never seen you also loved you. Even my mum, who is “not a fan of bands’ is now a big fan. Thank you so much for dedicating “yellow” to us. To be given that opportunity without warning was amazing, we love that song and now love it even more. You made our day, thank you so much.”
Matt & Abby - Wedding, South Wales“We cannot recommend Northern Ruins enough, thank you so much for playing at our wedding. We sang and danced the night away and everyone was talking about how amazing they were. Good communication, amazing songs, amazing band. Thank you!”
Jill & George - Wedding, Myddfai Centre, Llandovery, Carmarthenshire“Just wanted to say a massive thank you for everything you did at the wedding! We honestly had the best night and so did everyone else! Couldn’t have wished for anything more. A lot of my family from away all said how amazing you were.”
Kate & Nick - Wedding, Llangoed Hall, Brecon, Powys“If you are looking for a band to play at your wedding or special occasion, then stop searching and try with everything you have to book these guys. Genuine nice bunch of lads, who engage with you at every opportunity to make everything perfect. They recently played at our wedding, to us a good wedding is defined by a few things, Vows speeches, Food and the music. Northern Ruins absolutely blew the roof off our venue and got every single person onto the dance floor dancing their hearts out, from the toddlers to the senior members. Unbelievable atmosphere, and we will be going to watch and support them at every opportunity. Keep the party going boys and smashing it, you put the cherry on the cake for our day and we thank you no end.”
Matty & Emma - Wedding, Redwick Village Hall, NewportAbsolutely! We have been performing at weddings and events for several years and have an incredible 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 40 requests for the disco - so you can be sure to hear all your favourites on the evening.
Up to 60 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 (or 3 x 40 minute) live sets 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 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 40 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 us performing at a venue within 30 miles of our base, which is between Cardiff and Brecon in Wales. We charge travel costs for venues further than 30 miles, and if your venue is more than a 2 and a half hours' 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 price includes a rider buyout fee. This means that they can arrange their own food and drinks so you don't have to.
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.
