So many of our guests told us how good they thought they were, and some even went as far as saying they were the best wedding band they had ever seen!! The variety of songs they played was spot on and we loved the 2 different styles of sets. They were also extremely polite and friendly.

We hope that you had a great time, we certainly did.”
Emily & Ellie - Wedding, Westmead Events, Surrey“Incredible! That’s pretty much the only way I can sum up Smith and Sons.

Please thank them again for us, all our guests commented on how good they were and really helped us to create some amazing memories.”

Kate Middleton - Wedding, Hassop Hall Hotel“5/5.
Could you please send on my thanks to Smith & Sons. I didn’t manage to spend much time with them and I only caught a little bit of their performances as I was running around getting the other acts sorted but from what I gather from everyone else is that they were great and really fitted with the vibe in the two locations.
I would also like to pass on my sincere gratitude to Amy Roberts who was very accommodating and flexible when it came to the event logistics and ascertaining all information which Smith & Sons required prior to the live dates.”
“If we could give more than 5, we would.
We were so pleased with the band - everybody is still saying how amazing they were. We couldn't have hoped for any better. Not only were they musically excellent but were lovely lads and even played an encore. We highly recommend.”
“Smiths & Sons were the perfect band to kick off our evening entertainment at our festival style wedding, our guests are still talking about them now!!”
Stacey Buckland - Wedding, Meadow Spires“This band we're absolutly fantastic. We had an outside wedding and we're a little worried about the weather however the band managed to split their sets and worked out the best method without disturbing the guests at all. Once the weather started raining they came into our main tent and played an acoustic set which was very intimate and perfect for our wedding. I would certainly reccoment these guys for a wedding!”
Emily Parker - Wedding, Wasing Park“I wanted to drop you a mail to say how amazing Smiths and Sons were! They were out of this world! Every single guest commented on how good the band sounded and what good songs they did.
We even had people email us afterwards to say what a fabulous day they had and the band was probably the best they have ever heard.
Honestly they made our wedding!!! They were top blokes who couldn't of been more accommodating and friendly! I'm so happy we chose them and would book them for any future events we do!
Will you please pass on mine and James personal thanks and tell them they were bloody amazing!!!!!!
Thank you so much”
“?5/5 - ?I cannot recommend smith & sons enough they was amazing had so many people tell me how brilliant they thought they was too!”
Katy and Dan - Wedding, Gaynes Park, Essex“Booking them was easy and plain sailing
Smith & Sons are awesome :) The guys were polite and spoke with some of our guests. They set up quietly in the back and most people didn't notice until they started playing which was nice that there was no loud banging and no distractions. We had a bit of a delay for them starting but they where highly professional when adapting. Our first dance was perfect, after choosing a song that I would imagine that isn't really used for a first dance.
All our guests complemented us on our choice of band. They filled the dance floor the entire evening, and played songs that people reacted to with smiles, (and some screaming and wooing). When we thanked them after they were so kind and friendly too. We've had a lot of people asked if we can throw a party down the line and hire the band again!
Feel very lucky that we had them, it honestly made our reception one to remember!
Big big thank you to them once more.”
“Thank you so much to the amazing band Smith and Sons. They performed brilliantly, the guys were so professional and personable and everyone commented on how good they were.

Anna Whayman - Wedding, Aynhoe Park“‘Absolutely bloody brilliant! From the moment we booked we had excellent communication, all our questions answered. The actual band itself was fantastic and made the evening of our wedding what it was. All of our guests loved it and everyone was up dancing. They performed their own version of our first dance which is something we will remember forever. The band themselves spent time chatting with us at the end which was a really nice touch. Thank you so much ????’”
Helen Winter & Emma Perry - Wedding, Farbirdge Barns, Chichester“We can definitely say our wedding day was the most wonderful day. The Band were absolutely brilliant. You could not have asked for a more polite group of young men. They were totally customer focussed and everyone thought they were outstanding. I wish them every success in their endeavours. Thank you does not convey how we felt about their performance but it is a huge THANK YOU .....”
Sharon Cheetham - Wedding, Langar Hall“Just a quick email to say that the band were spot on and everyone at the wedding reception loved them and had a number of them ask me for their details.
If you could pass on our thanks to them.”

They were most efficient and courteous, turning up on time and being most obliging. But of course of most importance was the music which was fab and enjoyed by all. I have had several thank you letters, amazing in itself from this generation of electronic communication! to say how much they liked having live music and that it was fun to dance to. Anyhow please pass that on and certainly by the end of their session all was swinging! I would certainly recommend your company again and the band.””

Charlie and Jimmy - Wedding, The Althorn Coaching Inn, Northampton“We really wanted to express just how over-the-moon we were with Smith and Sons, they were absolutely fab! We were expecting them to be good having had a listen online, however they exceeded our expectations and were absolutely brilliant! We had originally booked a different band that we had seen play live already, however after some hesitation took the risk and cancelled the original band for Smith and Sons (a band we hadn't seen live! Eeek!) With my partner being a musician himself with lots of musician friends we did feel quite nervy about this...but we really had no need to be! There wasn't a moment during the evening when the dance floor wasn't occupied! Our guests (young and old) loved them :) We've had so many lovely comments from our guests who were extremely impressed. Not only did the guys sound great but they were also lovely chaps, very professional and talented. We would highly recommend them, I work in events and am looking for an excuse for when I can next hire them! A huge thank you once again.
Phoebe - thanks for your help too :) It was lovely dealing with you, you were a great help with answering our queries and requests, we did very much appreciate it :)”
“We were thoroughly impressed by 'Smith & Sons' who played for our wedding. Their acoustic day set was so lovely and really added atmosphere to the day whilst guests mingled.

Joanne Crane - Wedding, Peterstone Court, Llanhamlach, Powys“I want to say that the band were amazing they were everything I wanted and more, all of them were really nice lads, on time, nicely dressed and fitted in with the venue. The quality of sounds, singing, atmosphere was brilliant 10 out of 10, I would recommend them to anyone to have at their wedding as they won’t be disappointed. The fairy lights around them just finished off the whole scene, they did the first dance song perfectly as I know they were worried if the music was going to be loud enough but it was and they set a magical scene for us.
Thanks for all your helpful organisation and prompt clear emails it makes a big difference when you are trying to organise a large event with lots of moving pieces. All the best,”
“We are enjoying the sunshine in Puglia at the moment but just wanted to take a couple of minutes to say a huge thank you for Saturday! You were all brilliant and everybody loved you!

Jerry Bamford - Bourne Festival , Lincolnshire“Hi Amy, I'd like to say a big thanks to the band for everything on the day, the guys were friendly and really professional and ensured everyone had a good time. I spoke with Joel I think it was who was in charge, and he was more than happy to play the music for the ceremony itself and for putting up with the registrar who was a bit of a registra-zilla!!! People have commented on how good the guys were and it was great to be able to have a selection of country style and an electric set. The dance floor was buzzing all night, and despite having what seems a case of short term memory loss (possibly alcohol induced). A number of pictures show Amy and I dancing the night away. Thanks to all of them again, I speak for both of us when we say we'd definitely use them again for parties and recommend them.”
Rob and Amy Brice - Wedding , The Great Barn, Kent“Hi Amy, It’s been a pleasure doing business with you guys. Smith & Son were fabulous. Thank you.”
Fiona & Mellie - Wedding , Hope Street Hotel, Liverpool.“Smith & Sons were fantastic. They were extremely professional, great musicians and great guys. They managed to get all their kit down a cliff (no easy feat even without instruments!) to the venue, setting up and sound checking with no disruption to evening at all (even though the whole days events were in one room!) Smith & Sons played a great range of music and were really flexible, making changes on the night to fit in with what we wanted. They kept the dance floor full all night from the first dance to the final song, I can’t thank these guys enough! Smith & Sons are a brilliant band and they helped make the evening a great night to remember…..all the guests were commenting throughout the night and afterwards about how great they were too!”
Mr & Mrs Mills - Wedding , Cornwall.
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.
Up to 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 live lounge-style 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 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 London. 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.
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 £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.

So many of our guests told us how good they thought they were, and some even went as far as saying they were the best wedding band they had ever seen!! The variety of songs they played was spot on and we loved the 2 different styles of sets. They were also extremely polite and friendly. They were very respectful getting things ready and made sure things were how we wanted them.

We hope that you had a great time, we certainly did.”
Emily & Ellie - Wedding, Westmead Events, Surrey“Incredible! That’s pretty much the only way I can sum up Smith and Sons.

Please thank them again for us, all our guests commented on how good they were and really helped us to create some amazing memories.”

Kate Middleton - Wedding, Hassop Hall Hotel“5/5.
Could you please send on my thanks to Smith & Sons. I didn’t manage to spend much time with them and I only caught a little bit of their performances as I was running around getting the other acts sorted but from what I gather from everyone else is that they were great and really fitted with the vibe in the two locations.
I would also like to pass on my sincere gratitude to Amy Roberts who was very accommodating and flexible when it came to the event logistics and ascertaining all information which Smith & Sons required prior to the live dates.”
“If we could give more than 5, we would.
We were so pleased with the band - everybody is still saying how amazing they were. We couldn't have hoped for any better. Not only were they musically excellent but were lovely lads and even played an encore. We highly recommend.”
“Smiths & Sons were the perfect band to kick off our evening entertainment at our festival style wedding, our guests are still talking about them now!!”
Stacey Buckland - Wedding, Meadow Spires“This band we're absolutly fantastic. We had an outside wedding and we're a little worried about the weather however the band managed to split their sets and worked out the best method without disturbing the guests at all. Once the weather started raining they came into our main tent and played an acoustic set which was very intimate and perfect for our wedding. I would certainly reccoment these guys for a wedding!”
Emily Parker - Wedding, Wasing Park“I wanted to drop you a mail to say how amazing Smiths and Sons were! They were out of this world! Every single guest commented on how good the band sounded and what good songs they did.
We even had people email us afterwards to say what a fabulous day they had and the band was probably the best they have ever heard.
Honestly they made our wedding!!! They were top blokes who couldn't of been more accommodating and friendly! I'm so happy we chose them and would book them for any future events we do!
Will you please pass on mine and James personal thanks and tell them they were bloody amazing!!!!!!
Thank you so much”
“?5/5 - ?I cannot recommend smith & sons enough they was amazing had so many people tell me how brilliant they thought they was too!”
Katy and Dan - Wedding, Gaynes Park, Essex“Booking them was easy and plain sailing
Smith & Sons are awesome :) The guys were polite and spoke with some of our guests. They set up quietly in the back and most people didn't notice until they started playing which was nice that there was no loud banging and no distractions. We had a bit of a delay for them starting but they where highly professional when adapting. Our first dance was perfect, after choosing a song that I would imagine that isn't really used for a first dance.
All our guests complemented us on our choice of band. They filled the dance floor the entire evening, and played songs that people reacted to with smiles, (and some screaming and wooing). When we thanked them after they were so kind and friendly too. We've had a lot of people asked if we can throw a party down the line and hire the band again!
Feel very lucky that we had them, it honestly made our reception one to remember!
Big big thank you to them once more.”
“Thank you so much to the amazing band Smith and Sons. They performed brilliantly, the guys were so professional and personable and everyone commented on how good they were.

Anna Whayman - Wedding, Aynhoe Park“‘Absolutely bloody brilliant! From the moment we booked we had excellent communication, all our questions answered. The actual band itself was fantastic and made the evening of our wedding what it was. All of our guests loved it and everyone was up dancing. They performed their own version of our first dance which is something we will remember forever. The band themselves spent time chatting with us at the end which was a really nice touch. Thank you so much ????’”
Helen Winter & Emma Perry - Wedding, Farbirdge Barns, Chichester“We can definitely say our wedding day was the most wonderful day. The Band were absolutely brilliant. You could not have asked for a more polite group of young men. They were totally customer focussed and everyone thought they were outstanding. I wish them every success in their endeavours. Thank you does not convey how we felt about their performance but it is a huge THANK YOU .....”
Sharon Cheetham - Wedding, Langar Hall“Just a quick email to say that the band were spot on and everyone at the wedding reception loved them and had a number of them ask me for their details.
If you could pass on our thanks to them.”
“Smith & Sons were a great wedding band, they really cared about getting our first dance song just right for us as we had choreographed a dance and even phoned me to double check they had the correct version.

They were most efficient and courteous, turning up on time and being most obliging. But of course of most importance was the music which was fab and enjoyed by all. I have had several thank you letters, amazing in itself from this generation of electronic communication! to say how much they liked having live music and that it was fun to dance to. Anyhow please pass that on and certainly by the end of their session all was swinging! I would certainly recommend your company again and the band.””

Charlie and Jimmy - Wedding, The Althorn Coaching Inn, Northampton“We really wanted to express just how over-the-moon we were with Smith and Sons, they were absolutely fab! We were expecting them to be good having had a listen online, however they exceeded our expectations and were absolutely brilliant! We had originally booked a different band that we had seen play live already, however after some hesitation took the risk and cancelled the original band for Smith and Sons (a band we hadn't seen live! Eeek!) With my partner being a musician himself with lots of musician friends we did feel quite nervy about this...but we really had no need to be! There wasn't a moment during the evening when the dance floor wasn't occupied! Our guests (young and old) loved them :) We've had so many lovely comments from our guests who were extremely impressed. Not only did the guys sound great but they were also lovely chaps, very professional and talented. We would highly recommend them, I work in events and am looking for an excuse for when I can next hire them! A huge thank you once again.
Phoebe - thanks for your help too :) It was lovely dealing with you, you were a great help with answering our queries and requests, we did very much appreciate it :)”
“We were thoroughly impressed by 'Smith & Sons' who played for our wedding. Their acoustic day set was so lovely and really added atmosphere to the day whilst guests mingled.

Joanne Crane - Wedding, Peterstone Court, Llanhamlach, Powys“I want to say that the band were amazing they were everything I wanted and more, all of them were really nice lads, on time, nicely dressed and fitted in with the venue. The quality of sounds, singing, atmosphere was brilliant 10 out of 10, I would recommend them to anyone to have at their wedding as they won’t be disappointed. The fairy lights around them just finished off the whole scene, they did the first dance song perfectly as I know they were worried if the music was going to be loud enough but it was and they set a magical scene for us.
Thanks for all your helpful organisation and prompt clear emails it makes a big difference when you are trying to organise a large event with lots of moving pieces. All the best,”
“We are enjoying the sunshine in Puglia at the moment but just wanted to take a couple of minutes to say a huge thank you for Saturday! You were all brilliant and everybody loved you!

Jerry Bamford - Bourne Festival , Lincolnshire“Hi Amy, I'd like to say a big thanks to the band for everything on the day, the guys were friendly and really professional and ensured everyone had a good time. I spoke with Joel I think it was who was in charge, and he was more than happy to play the music for the ceremony itself and for putting up with the registrar who was a bit of a registra-zilla!!! People have commented on how good the guys were and it was great to be able to have a selection of country style and an electric set. The dance floor was buzzing all night, and despite having what seems a case of short term memory loss (possibly alcohol induced). A number of pictures show Amy and I dancing the night away. Thanks to all of them again, I speak for both of us when we say we'd definitely use them again for parties and recommend them.”
Rob and Amy Brice - Wedding , The Great Barn, Kent“Hi Amy, It’s been a pleasure doing business with you guys. Smith & Son were fabulous. Thank you.”
Fiona & Mellie - Wedding , Hope Street Hotel, Liverpool.“Smith & Sons were fantastic. They were extremely professional, great musicians and great guys. They managed to get all their kit down a cliff (no easy feat even without instruments!) to the venue, setting up and sound checking with no disruption to evening at all (even though the whole days events were in one room!) Smith & Sons played a great range of music and were really flexible, making changes on the night to fit in with what we wanted. They kept the dance floor full all night from the first dance to the final song, I can’t thank these guys enough! Smith & Sons are a brilliant band and they helped make the evening a great night to remember…..all the guests were commenting throughout the night and afterwards about how great they were too!”
Mr & Mrs Mills - Wedding , Cornwall.
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.
Up to 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 live lounge-style 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 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 London. 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.
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 £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.
