More February 2023"The communication with Matt at Seventh Second before the wedding was great. We were able to pick songs we wanted and they were able to play our first dance. The Wildlings were one of the highlights of the whole wedding. The dance floor was full all night and they played songs suitable for all our guests. I had lots of messages from guests to say how much they enjoyed them. One of my favourite memories of the wedding was when they played champagne supernova and asked guests to make a circle round us.

More October 2019"The band was fantastic and made the evening! They arrived on time, were set up before the scheduled time so not to interfere with dinner and speeches. They were approachable and flexible, the speeches took a bit longer so they adjusted their set to fit in with the rest of the program. In between sets, they were very accommodating to the Dutch with foreign requests. The dance floor was never empty and the music was fantastic sound and quality! "

More September 2019"The Wildlings were absolutely phenomenal for the 3 sets they played at our wedding. They were so upbeat and got everyone dancing and having the most amazing time. They are also the nicest people and took time to make sure that they were playing songs from their repertoire that they knew we loved. To cap it all they also agreed to play our first dance even though it was outside their repertoire and needed to learn it – all for no extra charge. They gave us the best party and we can’t fault them at all! "

More September 2018"The band were excellent, so much better than they sounded in their MP3’s. They kept the dance floor filled all night, so many of our guests are still commenting on how fantastic the band was. We wouldn’t think twice about recommending them or having them again. In fact our videographer, who’s seen quite a few live wedding bands asked for their contact details for his own wedding! They made our evening! Thanks guys! "
