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

Couldn't of asked for a better experience. The band was amazing and definitely got the dancefloor full. The band are really approachable and accommodating with any requests on the night and were flexible with the sets to work with the flow of the evening. Great quality music, which got our guests wanting more. A special thank you to Ben, who is most genuinely the nicest man, who can also belt out some tunes. Our wedding day was perfect, and Run For Cover definitely contributed to making it that way. We cannot recommend enough. If anyone is wanting top quality music for their event, then get in touch with Ben and the band. We wish you guys all the best, and hope to use you again in the future.

Booked for Birthday party

When I went looking for a band for my husband's 60th Birthday party I didn't have a clue where to start. I discovered Poptop and searched through the bands available for the date. What helped me choose The Wonder Whys was their demo and the reviews they had on the site. It is always a leap in the dark when choosing a band for a one off event but I need not have worried. Contact via phone and email directly with the band prior to the party was friendly, timely and informative. I cannot praise the band highly enough, they obviously enjoy performing and their enthusiasm is infectious, their music was exactly what I wanted. Ours was a small event with a range of ages, but they got people up and dancing and the made the party complete. They have a fabulous sound, are lovely people and I cannot thank them enough for making the party perfect, would highly recommend. Husband was delighted and family and friends impressed.

Booked for Wedding

We booked run for cover for our wedding back in 2019 and due to covid we finally had our big day in June 2022. They stuck by us for all that time and we're very accommodating and professional and kept in touch throughout. We opted for the band with their DJ service in between. The Song choices were discussed with us in advance, and the band even played our first dance Live, and provided the audio to us for the videographer to get better sound quality. The guys were so friendly and down to earth and sounded amazing on the night. They really made the night stand out and we had loads of comments saying how good they were. We are very glad we decided to opt for this band instead of just a DJ as the atmosphere was fantastic. Couldn't recommend these guys highly enough. Thanks run for cover.

Booked for Celebration

Will and Dan are very organised and talented duo that is very rare to find. Great singer and guitarist complemented my party perfectly. They have very relaxed attitude and great song repertoire that is also customisable. They are smiley, friendly and sound great. I can’t wait to hire them again!

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.
