“They were amazing! Banger after banger, and the guests didn't want to leave the dance floor they were so good. Thank you so much to them all, they really brought the vibe and were exactly what we wanted from a wedding band. THANK YOU THE SKIP JACKS!! ”
Kimberley & Matthew - Wedding, Hyde House, Cheltenham, Gloucestershire“Thanks so much for the performance on Saturday, absolutely smashed it and we got a lot of compliments from guests and staff alike! You made our first dance very special and we'll gladly share the videos once they land.”
Laura & Peter - Wedding, The Manor Estate, Salisbury“We had the best day ever and The Skip Jacks were incredible probably my favourite part of the day, they were incredible. The Skip Jacks were incredible and made our day, we had SO many comments about how amazing they were and truly got the party started inside the pub before our wedding breakfast! I wish we had booked them for the whole day. We would totally recommend them for anyone who loves music and their selection of songs were brilliant. They also sung and played beautifully during the ceremony, memories we will cherish forever. Thank you so much. Tailored Entertainment were great to work with and made the booking easy and stress free!”
Tiia & Martin - Wedding, The Bull Hotel, Wrotham, Kent“We LOVE the Skipjacks! They were one of the absolute best bits of our whole day and I couldn’t be happier with how amazing they were. I only hope that they are as happy as we are with how it went!!”
Sam & Daisy - Wedding, Hockwold Hall, Brandon“The Skip Jacks were fantastic and we are so pleased to have had them at our wedding! The acoustic duo sounded fab. The evening was amazing and they looks great, they performed a great variety of songs and their talent was brill - the singers especially sounded excellent.”
Ellie & Michael - Wedding, De Vere Horsley Estate, Leatherhead, Surrey“We booked the seven piece version of the Skip Jacks for our wedding and they were great! They were prompt, their set up was really seamless, and they truly kept the party going until midnight. All I wanted for the evening reception of my wedding was a full dance floor, and it literally was not once empty - their set was incredible and really just kept people on their feet!”
Bethanie & David - Wedding, Longton Wood, Kent“We loved the Skip Jacks Duo and are so happy we booked them! It was fantastic to have great quality live music at the wedding and we (and our guests) had a great time dancing. We also appreciated them learning our first dance song and it was lovely to be able to (awkwardly) dance to a live version of it. I didn't have the chance to speak to them much but the band were very professional and arrived on time and contacted the venue staff to sort set-up etc. The only thing I would change is booking the band for longer, or arranging for the sets to be later in the night. It was a warm day so I don't think the first set was that busy (people were outside cooling down) but the second set was amazing. I did have a look for videos but couldn't find any good ones. We are still waiting for the photos from the photographer so if there are any of the band we'll send them through.”
Khally & Ian - Wedding, Lindon House, London“Thank you so much to the Skip Jacks for being such a fantastic addition to our wedding day! We couldn't have asked for a better band! Our guests absolutely loved you- from the acoustic sets in the afternoon to evening sets, we were all blown away! You kept the dance floor full! Thank you so much for making our day extra special!”
Sophie & Tom - Wedding, Lovelocks Barn, Fareham, Hampshire“Absolutely amazing! So many compliments about the band throughout the evening.”
Ryan & Priyanka - Wedding, The Elvetham Hotel, Hook“Utterly brilliant. Every song had the crowd going. Kept to time and were very helpful during playlist moments too. Would recommend!”
Natasha & Owen - Wedding, Ashridge House, Hertfordshire“We are very pleased to report the band were great and everyone really enjoyed their set. They were also kind enough to let one of my friends butcher a song and deafen all those with in-ear monitors in the process.”
Dave & Hannah - Wedding, The Farmhouse at Redcoats, Hitchin, Hertfordshire“The act were exceptional, and we even had guests who knew them for booking The Skip Jacks for other weddings.We couldn't of asked for a kinder and more talented group to perform at our wedding. Everyone had a great time and the vocalist was fantastic.”
Phoebe & George - Wedding, Oxnead Hall, Norfolk“The Skip Jacks were amazing at our wedding party! They had the dance floor filled from start to finish which is just what we had hoped for. Couldn't be happier with them.”
Rachael & William - Wedding, Rutland Water Golf Club, Rutland, Leicestershire“The band were excellent on the night got the party going, involved the attendees and had a great sing-along at the end of the night. Everyone enjoyed the evening and the band were a big part of making the party a success. They were very easy going and lovely to work with.”
Newson Health - Corporate, Riverside, Warwickshire“The band arrived on time and set up in no time at all. They were very professional and their music was superb. I would have them again anytime.”
C.A. - Wedding, Rose Cottage, Dorset“Just wanted to say thanks so much for the band for the brilliant music on our big day - both the acoustic duo and full band in the evening were fab! We’ve had lots of great comments from our guests about the band! We were delighted and it was great to see so many of our guests on the dance floor…it speaks volumes as to how good they were!”
Ali & Nicole - Wedding, Chafford Park Estate, Kent“Absolutely first class performance! It made our wedding day and the bonus that they kindly learnt our first dance song and sang it so wonderfully! Thank you so much!!”
Keileigh & Craig - Wedding, Layer Marney Tower, Essex
Absolutely! 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 modern day dance floor fillers to your favourite rock and pop anthems, 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 8pm and midnight.
We perform 3 x 45 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 duo or 5-piece 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 5-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 hour 30 minute 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.
