Lauren Kidd29 Jun 2026

Booked for Wedding

The breeze were absolutely fantastic. Communication was brilliant from booking right up to the big day. Nothing was too much trouble and they even learned a new song from quite a niche artist to perform our first dance. They performed it perfectly and made it so special. All the guests loved the whole set. Thank you do much

Booked for Wedding

We booked RFC to play two sets at our wedding reception - they were fantastic from start to finish. Ben was great at answering all of our queries prior to booking and after, and their performance on the day was brilliant, everyone loved it! Great guys and very professional. I would definitely recommend, and would have the band play at future events of ours! Thank you!

Booked for Wedding

We hired Rock The Night for our wedding in May and they really brought the energy! Jake was very professional and communicative with us throughout the process making the admin feel effortless and putting us at ease from the start. The band were kind enough to learn our lesser-known first dance song and performed it brilliantly. They brought a real energy and buzz to the evening and the music and singing was fantastic. Their knowledge and flexibility was great when arranging the setlist and the DJ playlist in-between sets to suit our preferences. We had lots of compliments from our guests on how great the music and energy was which kept the dance floor busy all night. Rock The Night made the evening feel so special, I would definitely recommend them for your event! Thank you from us and all our guests.

The band were quick to contact me & kept me informed maintaining regular emails & calls. They played a varied playlist that was perfect for a party where there were very different age groups. An excellent band that I would happily use again.
