“White Men Can't Funk were off the charts good, and the service provided by Tailored Entertainment was flawless. We had to reschedule our wedding twice from March 2020 and Erin and Rya were both very helpful in sorting out the new date and making arrangements for the day. They also did a great job working with the venue and DJ to ensure everything ran smoothly - we didn't have to get involved at all! The bands set was incredible! So much better than your standard wedding-band-by-numbers. They nailed our request for our first dance, and then played almost the entire repertoire across the 2 sets. They had everyone up and dancing, including my mum (who had her hip replaced 5 months ago!), and it was great to see the band having such a good time too. There are too many song highlights to mention and we've had so many compliments from our guests! A truly memorable part of an amazing day, can't recommend them enough.”
Will & Laura - Wedding, Pheasentry Brewery, Essex“Great guys! Absolute rocked the room and we’re so accommodating learning new songs etc before the ceremony. Would have no hesitation to book them again.”
Charlotte & Liam - Wedding, Gara Rock, Devon“The band were an absolute pleasure on the evening. All of our guests went home raving about them, and a few of friends and family have requested their details for future events! A great bunch of lads, an awesome sound, they were everything we’d hoped for and more!!”
Alan & Amy - Wedding, Blakelands Country House, Staffordshire“From the booking of the band through to the event and after the correspondence and communication was so helpful and quick to respond to any questions I had, the band themselves were absolutely amazing from the time they arrived through to leaving such a great bunch of people and the music was out of the world gave our wedding party the entertainment we wanted! Would recommend 100% to anyone wanting a unforgettable experience.”
Joanna & John - Wedding, Private Address, Basildon“The most amazing band. Polite, on time, amazing performances. Loved every second!”
Eleanor & Matthew - Wedding, High Grosvenor, Shropshire“White Men Can't Funk! Thank you for putting on such an amazing show at our wedding evening party. The choice of songs were great and the energy was fantastic. We loved you and most importantly our guests loved you too. We had the best time singing and dancing and you completed what was a perfect day! Thanks again, we only hope one of guests book you in the future so we can do it all over again!”
Luke & Samantha - Wedding, Brinsop Court, Herefordshire“The service provided was exemplary from start to finish and the band's performance was excellent. All the wedding guests commented on the high quality and showmanship of the band. We all danced the night away.”
Julie & Brendan - Wedding, Hodsock Priory, Nottinghamshire“Wow what can we say? Amazing. 100% awesome. White Men Can’t Funk. Well yes they certainly can. They had people up dancing that we’ve never seen shake a hip before. We got married in Vegas and decided to have a last minute party and it was just incredible. The band went above and beyond. Even the sound check was brilliant. The kindness of the guys was just so genuine. They gave their everything to us and to our guests. We wanted a band with character, to make people stop talking and ask - who are these guys!? The talent White Men Can’t Funk brought to our party was unbelievable. So many people have commented on the band, asking where we found them. It’s all thanks to Tailored Entertainment. You guys recommended them to us. We cannot thank White Men Can’t Funk enough for everything. You guys are truly wonderful and more than we could have wished for. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.”
Laura & Daniel - Wedding, Village Hotel Chester St. David's, Deeside“Fab band, absolutely fantastic music xx”

Ben - Wedding, The Great House, Berkshire“White Men Can’t Funk were absolutely amazing! Every song was performed so well and we did not stop dancing! A really lovely bunch of guys who got the party started. We would highly recommend them (and will do) to anyone ever looking for a band in future. Thank you for making it a night to remember!!”
Phil - Birthday Party, Moseley Golf Club, Birmingham“Thank you so much to you and to the band for all the hard work. They were absolutely amazing, I would hire them again in a heartbeat. The whole process from booking to the last dance was perfect, and I really appreciate the professionalism and care you put into working with us and the venue.

Can’t thank you all enough!”
Mr & Mrs Shenton, Wedding Hilltop Farm“Rugby Music Festival featured 17 acts and White Men Can't Funk were one of the stand-outs. Great sound and a great fun performance from the guys had the crowd with them all the way. They were the first band we invited back for the following year, we love it that they’re a band that don’t take themselves too seriously yet still produce some serious funk!”
David Head, Rugby Music Festival“Well what can we say, the funk made our Wedding/Halloween celebration the best party we could ever have hoped for. The lads got really into the spirit of the night & funked the hell out of us. Our new favourite band by a long shot. Long live the mighty White Men Can't Funk, you made our party extraordinary & memorable for all the right reasons. Big love to the funk.”
Barry & Tina Purcell, Wedding High Wycombe“White Men Can’t Funk have never failed to amaze us. Each show we’ve booked has been better than the last with the band pulling out all the stops. The upbeat mood created by the bands unique take on well known songs is great for everyone (as well as the bar take!). If we could book them every weekend we certainly would.”
Mike Leonard, Owner, The Vault“Massive thanks to White Men Can't Funk for being the cherry on top of our perfect day!!! Absolutely amazing gig!! People just couldn’t get enough! Awesome. Can’t recommend you enough.”
Joe Palmer, Wedding
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 modern day dance floor fillers to your favourite guitar-driven 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.
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 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 acoustic live lounge-style 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 Rugby. We charge travel costs for venues further than 30 miles, and if your venue is more than a 2 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 standard rider is for a hot meal and soft drinks for the band members or a £25 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.
