Steph Cox20 May 2025

Amazing band. Read the atmosphere and the style of the party so well. Really responsive to queries. Invested time in meeting me and my partner to understand what we like/don't want in terms of music. I couldn't ask for more.

Emily Lamb1 Oct 2024

The runaways were amazing! Amazing performance and lovely people! Very kind and even didn’t mind moving when the cold weather was against us. Thank you for making our wedding so special. Also made our first dance wonderful. Would definitely book again. Great communication and personalised playlist for us. Many thanks😊

Emma Keet24 Jul 2023

They were even better in real life! Pitch perfect and beautiful! Really lovely, friendly happy people and all our guests commented on how great our music was!! Would not hesitate to recommend!!! Just super sad when they finished! Thank you so much ☺️

Sylvie Tucker17 Aug 2022

We had a great time and the lovely music was not too loud which means that the less young guests enjoyed their evening too! Thank you so much!

Caroline ABBASSY4 Jul 2022

A wonderful time was had by all. The vNd members were super friendly and professional . I would definitely book them again for future events. Great fun!

Mark Jones29 Jul 2021

We hired the Alchemists to perform at our wedding, and they were fantastic. They did an amazing set full of suitable songs for the occasion which had people up and dancing but were also relaxed enough for others to mingle and chat. We had to cancel our wedding 3 times over the lockdown and communication with Ryan was excellent over the year from when we first contacted them, till the big day. If your looking for a classy, professional and above all entertaining band these guys would be your best bet.

We delivered next level parties for exceptional companies

We also did more than 40,000 birthday parties. Probably, including your neighbour’s recent big bash.
