The Rivals

Choosing The Rivals for our wedding was hands down one of the best decisions we made! From the very first inquiry, their communication was absolutely amazing!. They were incredibly responsive, helpful, and took all the stress out of the planning process. On the day of the wedding, their professionalism was unmatched. They arrived on time, set up seamlessly, and kept the energy alive the entire night. We loved that they played our custom playlists during the breaks, ensuring there was never a dull moment or a quiet dance floor. The Rivals are exceptionally talented musicians and total professionals. If you want a band that is easy to work with and will have your guests dancing all night, book them immediately. Absolute perfection!

Wow is all I can say. The Rivals played at my wedding and what an atmosphere they made. They played our first dance song and it was absolutely perfect. They also played some Taylor Swift songs for me as I am a huge Swiftie which was a massive bonus. Couldn’t recommend them enough.

If you are looking for a wedding band that completely delivers on every level, look no further than The Rivals. They brought an incredible vibe to our reception and kept our guests on the dance floor from their very first chord to the final encore. Behind the scenes, they were a dream to work with. Their flawless communication and organised approach beforehand gave us total peace of mind during the chaotic wedding planning. On the night, they were the epitome of true professionals managing everything perfectly. They aren’t just highly skilled musicians; they are fantastic coordinators who know exactly how to run a crowd. Our friends and family are still raving about how incredible the music was. Thank you for making our big day so unforgettable!

We couldn't have been happier with The Rivals and would recommend them to any couple looking for a wedding band. From the very beginning, the team were friendly and responsive. Communication was excellent throughout the planning process, and everything ran seamlessly on the day itself. On the night, The Rivals created such a fun atmosphere and kept the energy high from start to finish. Despite it being one of the hottest days of the year, the dance floor was packed all evening, which shows how fantastic they were. So many of our guests have commented on how much they enjoyed the band and how great the music was. They played a huge part in making our wedding celebration so memorable, and we are really grateful. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

Exceeded all expectations. The Rivals are a exceptional band and was a total pleasure to work with. The music sounded incredible—high-quality, perfectly balanced, and a massive hit with everyone in the room. They brought such a great attitude and energy to the event, making the entire process completely stress-free for the organising team. We couldn't have asked for a better experience.

I can’t recommend The Rivals enough. We had a bit of a chaotic schedule with outdoor fireworks during their set, but they were so accommodating and kept the vibe alive regardless. The music was top-tier and they really knew how to read the room. April 3rd was the best day of our lives, and the performance they provided was a huge part of that!

Five stars for The Rivals! We've had DJs in the past, but nothing beats the live energy these guys bring. They kept the dance floor full all night and really knew how to interact with the crowd. If you want your Xmas bash to be more than just 'drinks in a bar,' hire this band.

Organising a Christmas party for 200+ people is stressful, but The Rivals were the easiest part of the whole process. They were professional, worked perfectly with the venue’s sound limiters, and were so flexible when our speeches ran over time. Their performance was tight, high-quality, and full of festive spirit. Can’t recommend them enough!

Finding a band that is both professional and entertaining can be tough, but The Rivals nailed it for our annual gala. They arrived on time, set up discreetly, and the sound quality was perfect—loud enough to party, but balanced beautifully. We’ve already had requests from staff to book them again for next year!

We hired The Rivals for my 35th birthday party and they absolutely smashed it. Their setlist is incredible—hits from every decade but played with so much modern energy. They really knew how to read the crowd; by the second set, even the 'non-dancers' were up. Professional, punctual, and incredibly talented musicians.

The Rivals recently played at our wedding and were awesome. They created a wonderful atmosphere and the dance floor was full all night. We received lots of compliments from our guests on how great they sounded. They were also easy to communicate with and accommodating of our requests. We would recommend them wholeheartedly.

The Rivals are superb! A great selection of tracks for any party. They sound fantastic and bring a great vibe. They have a professional set up and are very accommodating. Everyone had a great time.

They arrived calm and prepared, cases down, cables neat, no drama. The Rivals hit the first chord and the night found its pulse. The set moved cleanly through decades tight playing, vocals clear, lots of energy. They read the room well and played some bangers.
Book them, you won't be disappointed.

I hire entertainment for corporate events, and The Rivals went above and beyond. They showed up on time, looked sharp, and sounded amazing. They knew how to read the crowd and created the perfect vibe for our gala. Couldn’t have asked for better—absolutely outstanding.

The Rivals were AMAZING, they played at our Wedding in the Cotswolds and we had the best time. The dance floor was packed with our guests from start to finish, everyone LOVED them. I’d highly recommend! Thank you so much for making our day so special and enjoyable!

THE BEST BAND WE'VE HAD FOR OUR CHRISTMAS CORPORATE PARTY! Great guys, quality music, really friendly and professional! Will hire again in a heartbeat.

The Rivals played at our wedding in September and they can only be described in one word…. Phenomenal! They were professional and efficient in the lead up to the day and absolutely smashed it on the day. We had so many guests telling Us how much they enjoyed it. We wouldn't think twice about recommending you.
Thanks again!

It's incredibly hard booking a band for what is the biggest day of your life, especially when you're unable to see them beforehand. That being said, The Rivals were on point and were even better in person than the video, and the videos are amazing!

Words can't describe how amazing The Rivals were at our wedding on Saturday! The musicians were so good, not to mention super friendly and professional. From the first dance to "one more song" you absolutely smashed it!
Thanks again!

Thank you so much for playing at our party! Honestly, you guys were beyond brilliant! If I had a pound for every person that said how amazing you were I'd be a very rich man. I hope we get the opportunity to book you again and we'll be recommending you to everyone. Thank you once again!

I wanted to say a huge thanks for playing at our wedding. You guys were unbelievable and were exactly what we hoped for and more. So you know l've passed your name along to a friend who will be in touch to enquire about her wedding

We just wanted to get in touch and express our thanks to The Rivals. We were so impressed with them! From start to finish they had everyone going. They really did make our day special.
