More October 2023"Have seen Goodfellas Before and knew they were going to perform. Wasn’t disappointed – amazing performance and showmanship – people were talking about them for weeks! They also managed the whole music programme playing pre recorded wedding music between sets and taking the time to make sure that everyone’s favourites were on the playlist – even if they had to learn the songs! A total package you wont regret booking. "

More August 2023"I just wanted to send on our HUGEST THANK YOU to the band for contributing towards making our dream wedding day come true!! Goodfellas were absolutely amazing, words cannot describe how much they made our evening reception a complete success. EVERYONE has commented on how amazing the band was, and this is backed up by the jam packed crazy dance floor during their live sets, and also during the DJ sets! Family & Friends who never make an apperance on the dance floor were there too (unbelivable)!!! I could go on and on and on, but I am sure you have heard it all before if you pull out perfomances like this everytime. Please pass on our thanks to the boys and also MASSIVE thank you to you for helping us get it sorted in such a short time 🙂 "

More June 2023"When we began looking for a wedding band we knew exactly what we wanted, but couldn’t find one locally. We began looking further afield, but honestly didn’t think it would be feasible to fly a band from England to the west coast of Ireland. We contacted Goodfellas because (a) they sounded magnificent and (b) they had toured internationally before. Dealing with the lads was an absolute breeze and any reservations we had were quickly put to bed. And on St Patrick’s weekend, 2013, the boys flew over and squeezed themselves into a small room in a big old Father Ted-type house. There they transported us all back to the 80s & 90s and rocked until the walls creaked, windows warped and the sweat of a 150 people, in various stages of sobriety, soaked through the knotted floorboards into the ancient foundations. We can only imagine it was all part of their magnificent master plan. "

More May 2023"Thanks so much to Ian and the band for playing our wedding at Pangdean in Brighton on Sat 9th May. We have had so many positive comments from guests both on the night and since, they really made the evening into a great party. It was an amazing back catalogue of indie tunes that had the dance floor full and rocking all night! Goodfellas were flexible, polite and easy to contact throughout, even taking the time to learn our obscure favourite song! We can’t recommend them highly enough. All the best with your gigs for the rest of the summer. Cheers! "

More November 2022"They were fantastic! The guests loved them and they really helped make our wedding a success. They did a perfect job in picking the right songs, getting the crowd involved and all the guests dancing. Everyone was dancing all night and didn’t want them to stop playing. They also put together a great DJ set for us for the remaining hour after they finished playing. Finally, we were also really impressed with how they learned and performed our requested first dance song with only a couple of weeks’ notice – again, they helped make this very memorable for us! "

More October 2022"Booked Goodfellas having heard them at other events. Knew the performance was going to be excellent – but this was a more formal occasion with an older group. Needn’t have worried – the band brushed up on more 60’s music and read and performed to the audience in the amazing and intuitive way we had seen them deliver before. They got everyone, young and old onto the floor. Even pulled in some girls from a wedding in the hotel because our music was much better then theirs! "

More August 2022"It was really important to us to have a great band playing the music we love at our wedding, and Goodfellas did just that! Our first dance was not originally in their repertoire but they were more than happy to learn a new song and played it beautifully, including some unexpected but excellent trumpet work! As soon as the first dance finished the dance floor was packed and remained so until the end of the night. We have such great memories of dancing like crazy with all our friends and family to our favourites songs, played by a really talented band, so thank you for making that happen Goodfellas. We really cannot recommend this band enough, they are really talented, friendly and professional and really made our wedding reception very special. "

More August 2022"Goodfellas came all the way to Sweden to play at our wedding and though we knew they would be amazing, they exceeded all our expectations, providing an amazing 2 hour private concert. Goodfellas are certainly not your average “function band”! Everyone has been raving about the band ever since. To any bridezillas out there, I can not recommend them highly enough – professionalism and communication are exemplary, nothing is too much trouble and they are the loveliest of guys. "

More June 2022"Everyone we’ve spoken to since has commented on how much they enjoyed the band and what a great night it was. We hired the Good Fellas wedding bands to headline our mini-festival wedding – Wedstock. They absolutely blew all the wedding guests away, providing two hours of top-notch music that had everyone from the age of 7 to 70 dancing the night away. I have to say if you want a wedding or party band and music matters to you then look no further than Good Fellas – they are an awesome band, talented bunch of musicians and as it happens they are also a bloomin’ nice bunch of lads.

More June 2022"We booked Goodfellas for our company christmas party, in 2012, based on a referral from a colleague who raved about them from her wedding! As we normally book disco’s for our party we were a little aprehensive about how a band would go down but I have to say everyone had a blast! The band were brilliant, played great music and kept everyone on the dancefloor all night -even those who don’t normally hit the dance floor! We would definitely use again and I know colleagues have asked for the details as well! "

More May 2022"Goodfellas were absolutely fantastic at our wedding and definitely one of the highlights of the day, in fact several of our guests have booked them for their own weddings! They were punctual, well presented and effortlessly set up their equipment without being intrusive. The performance was superb, definitely a step up from your normal wedding fare but still playing well known tracks for all ages, the dancefloor was packed throughout both sets and they even learned a new song at our request for our first dance. I can’t recommend them strongly enough! "

More January 2018"Good Fellas played our wedding in Wales and you really did rock the place. It was such a great night and our friends talked about the music more than the dress. I cant recommend you highly enough. Most brides and grooms spend the night talking to their guests but we really wanted to party on our wedding night and dont think we left the dance floor. It was just what we wanted and we wish we could do it all again. "

More May 2017"We booked the fantastic wedding band Good Fellas for our wedding after being very impressed when we saw them play in Worthing. Their sets at our reception were amazing, a real highlight of the day, helping to make it even better than we could have hoped. They got everyone dancing to all our favourite Britpop songs and more, and we were very pleased that they learned and played brilliantly the obscure song we’d picked for our first dance. "

More April 2015"Had the absolute pleasure of having Goodfellas at our wedding this weekend. Every single person there commented on how good they were and even those who can’t dance (myself included) couldn’t help but get up on the dance floor. Seamlessly shifting eras and genres they managed to find a little something for everyone , even dropping some heavier stuff towards the end! All in all, book Goodfellas… They’re more than a bit good "

More October 2014"Hannah and I just wanted to thank you (and the rest of the band) again for ROCKING IT at our wedding. We can’t even begin to count the positive comments we’ve had about your performance! Thanks for being so accommodating with regards to our choice of first dance song and learning ‘You do something to me’ at such short notice. On tidying up the hall the following morning we found a copy of your setlist. With me being a fully fledged ‘gig geek’, this was a pleasant surprise as I have countless playlists on my ipod of concert setlists that I’ve had the fortune of attending. So you’ll be pleased to know that I’ve created one of your show so Hannah and I can re-live the experience time and again. "

You were all absolutely fantastic and we have been overwhelmed by everyone saying how amazing the band were. Please accept my apologies for my crazy mates who got you to do another set though but I am glad you agreed to it as I don’t think anyone was ready to call it a night. We have passed your details on to a few friends and I know Mum has given your details to a few neighbours who were listening in their gardens! "

More April 2014"Simply brilliant! Exceptionally talented musicians offering a top draw repertoire with great flexibility. They captured the atmosphere that you’re so desperate for at a wedding perfectly. Dance floor was literally bouncing all night long! I honestly lost count of how many guests commented on how amazing they were. Absolutely one of the highlights of our day and 100% gave us everything we asked for and more. Highly recommended – we’ll never forget it! "

More September 2013"I had already seen them before perform at a friends 40th and they were outstanding so were the obvious choice when it came to organizing my 40th with my brothers 30th joint party. I cannot fault them. They are just amazing! There were about 200 people at the party and I think most of them were on the dance floor most of the night. They played all of the songs that we requested and we gave them a playlist of recorded songs to play in the intervals and they learnt my favourite song! 10/10! "

Many thanks for getting us to do a first dance (for the last dance of the evening). You really made our wedding!! "

More July 2013"Goodfellas are quite simply the best wedding band around! As performers they are brilliant; they’ve got a massive repertoire and absolutely nailed every song they played. The way they interacted with the guests was great – they were really friendly off stage and thoroughly entertaining on it – and the dancefloor was jam-packed all night. We did a lot of research in to bands before the wedding and Goodfellas were hands-down the best we found. Cannot recommend them highly enough! "

More June 2012"Just wanted to drop you a quick email on return from our honeymoon today.

You kept the choones rocking all night and were perfectly paced – my only regret is that I don’t have any parties currently planned when I can use you again! "

More August 2009"The Good Fellas wedding band were recommended by a friend and we went to see them play a gig in Worthing. After three songs we knew we wanted them at our wedding. The sets at our reception were fantastic with everyone dancing from the beginning. It was the music we wanted played by a talented band with so much energy. We will never forget everyone going crazy, jumping up and down to Nirvana and dancing to Live Forever at the end of the night with the music playing out over the Thames. All our guests absolutely loved the band and they made our wedding party one that we will never forget. We would absolutely recommend Good Fellas, who delivered everything we could have wanted and were very professional and decent too. "

More May 2009"An amazingly talented and professional group of musicians who made our wedding even more special than we could have possibly thought. All of our guests were up on their feet dancing and we have had so many comments complimenting Good Fellas wedding band and their music. We would recommend them to anyone wanting something that little bit special. Thank you so much for travelling up to the Midlands, never has a 16th century house rocked quite so much. "
