Amazing band!

We had the pleasure of having The Waistcoats at our wedding as well as the day after too. They are simply amazing and had everyone up dancing as soon as they started, so many of our guests are still talking about how good they were!

They were so easy to communicate with and were so helpful which made planning a wedding from abroad much easier. We booked The Waistcoats back in 2019 for our original date in 2020 and when we had to reschedule 3 times we always made sure The Waistcoats were available for the new date before finalising. The guys moved dates for us each time with no issues.

We were so lucky to have The Waistcoats, not only are they amazing at what they do they are genuinely nice guys and so down to earth, we could not recommend them enough. If you want amazing music, singing and good fun at your big day get The Waistcoats booked you won't regret it!

The best wedding band!!

We spent weeks looking for our wedding band, and when we found the Waistcoats we genuinly thought it was too good to be true. They ticked literally every one of our boxes! Paul was incredibly professional and prompt in his communication from day one, something that is very appriciated in the wedding planning chaos, and he made the whole process leading up to the wedding very smooth. On the actual wedding day they were truly amazing; their songs during our cocktail hour where perfect to set the mood and the party after the dinner was just great! We had SUCH a good time and many of our guests still talk about how amazing the band was. Even the less noticable things around the actual performance were great; arranging microphones for speeches, making sure everything was set up in time in all different venue locations, incorporating our guests in their performance and recommending a great DJ who kept the party going after they were finished. They really made our day and we can not recommend them enough!!

Amazing wedding band in Italy!

What can I say...the Waistcoats couldn't have been more amazing! From the first correspondence with Paul, who was extremely professional and accommodating, we knew they were exactly what we were looking for in a band for our wedding. They have an amazing range of songs to choose from (something to suit everyone) and played everything we requested. My uncle even got up to sing with them! We danced the entire night (my feet are still sore). Our guests are still taking about how brilliant they were, which is just amazing to hear. I couldn't recommend them more! If you are looking for a wedding band in Italy, look no further than the Waistcoats!
