Absolutely superb, accomdating of our overrunning wedding, judging the tone and style of the audience perfectly to ensure that the dancefloor was packed from first to last song.

Thank you so much for contributing to our special day. Best wishes, Matt & AaronMatt & Aaron - Wedding - Macdonald Frimley Hall Hotel and Spa

5/5 - Firstly can we say how amazing Folk Junkies were! Thank you for being part of our special day. You guys were exactly what we had hoped for and you delivered an absolutely fantastic set throughout the whole evening. The acoustic duo set during the wedding breakfast was brilliant with several guests commenting how beautiful the lead singers voice was. Then the after dinner music....awesome! From the off Folk junkies set the right tone and delivered a set that got literally everyone on the dance floor. Not at any time was the floor empty and the tunes just kept coming. We have since had countless guests saying how great the band were. Secondly to Amy Roberts from Tailored Entertainment thank you so much for all you did in the lead up to the day. At times we were bombarding you with several emails a day and you always responded promptly. Thanks for putting up with all the last minute stressed emails and ensuring that the sets all went off without any glitches!!!Katie and James - Wedding, Froyle Park, Guildford

The band were absolutely sensational. I'm probably a bit biased but I genuinely think they were the best wedding band I've ever seen.

Cannot thank you enough, we hope you also enjoyed it. Hopefully see you again soon - All the best for the future!Will & Harriet Solomon - Wedding, Bonhams Barn, Alton

We booked the Folk Junkies for our tipi wedding back in June, well, what can I say that will possibly do justice for how fantastic they are! Not only are they sublime musicians they are also warm and kind people. They got everyone on the dance floor and kept them there. I would hire them over and over and over and over and over again!!! If their videos get you going you need to book them because they're even more incredible in real life! Nearly 2 months on from the wedding and we are still getting compliments and people talking about the band. The band spoke to some of the guests whilst they were on their intermission, and every single person they spoke with had nothing but compliments for genuine they are. They are just a super, cool, funky, fresh group of people! I cannot thank you guys enough for how you made my wedding incredible!Poppy Witts - Wedding, Dilton Vale Farm, Wilts

Folk Junkies' set list was a great mix for both younger and older generations and their vocals and performances were such high quality - our first dance in particular was played so beautifully and learnt by the band specially for our day. The lighting set up was also great for our venue and added such lovely colour and atmosphere to our dance floor.
