On WeddingWire since 2018

Introducing The Gloves, Italy's original wedding band based in Florence, Italy that's been active since 2002 with over 1,800 successful parties and numerous international awards and accolades under their belts.

Prepare to be blown away by our eight-piece band featuring a live horn section and dynamic male/female lead vocals for an unforgettable performance! Our specialty lies in delivering an engaging and interactive party experience fueled by the infectious energy and charisma of our band members, who know how to connect with and involve the crowd.

Our extensive repertoire spans from the timeless rock 'n' roll classics of the '50s to the legendary pop hits of the '60s, the iconic rock anthems of the '70s, the disco dancefloor-fillers of the '80s, and the chart-topping hits of the '90s and 2000s. From Stevie Wonder to ABBA, Whitney Houston to Bee Gees, Diana Ross to Van Morrison and Tina Turner, and all the way to the more recent Katrina & the Waves, Spice Girls, and Eiffel 65 – we'll keep your guests dancing for over two hours with an electrifying music whirlwind!

Amazing wedding band

We got married in Rome in October and had the Gloves perform at all the events throughout our wedding day from our ceremony to our post wedding aperitif to the reception party, we also had them perform at a party on the evening after our wedding day. The band were fantastic, our guests commented on how good they were and they were so easy to work with to plan their performances at our wedding. They are absolute professionals and know exactly what they are doing. We highly recommend!

An Unbelievable wedding experience with The Gloves

We booked the Gloves for our wedding party and DJ set, at Borgo Di Tragliata in October 2024, and they did not disappoint. They were exceptional from start to finish, driving the energy for all our guests. They started with the party train which was such good fun, getting all of our guests involved and onto the dancefloor. From then on they entertained us for the night and into the early hours of the morning. The music, along with their energetic frontman, was excellent and we had so much positive feedback from our guests about the night. We have so many great memories from the photos they took throughout the night as well. They made the evening very special for us and we were delighted that they were able to help in the celebration of our wedding day with us.

The best band in Italy

We got married in Borgo di Tragliata in October of this year and we had The Gloves as our wedding band. Wow doesn't even begin to cover it, weeks later and people are still raving about the amazing band we had! Not only were they great musicians but they were such nice people and really great craic, I was so nervous to do a first dance and almost wasn't going to when Leo suggested one and made me feel so at ease with it and so many said it was the best first dance they'd seen!
The dancefloor was CONSTANTLY full with hit after hit, the energy was electric and the crowd interaction was second to none!
Can't recommend more!
