Funk City Band Reviews

Don’t just take our word for it — hear it straight from the people who’ve danced, laughed, and partied with us. Here are real reviews from couples, clients, and partygoers across weddings, corporate events, private gigs, and festival-style bashes. (Spoiler: there’s a lot of happy foot-stomping involved.)


1. Emily & James – Orchardleigh House Wedding

“We had the 7-piece band and OH. MY. GOD. You absolutely made our wedding. The horn section was killer and the dance floor was never empty. So many guests said it was the best band they’d ever seen. Couldn’t recommend more!” – See our 7-piece line-up

2. Tom – Corporate Summer Party, London

“You brought the fun, the funk, and the fireworks (musical ones, anyway). The boss is still raving about your Stevie Wonder cover. Seriously professional, ridiculously fun.”

3. Hannah & Lucy – Grittleton House Wedding

“Thank you, thank you, thank you! You made the whole night. From our first dance to the last chorus, it was perfect. We loved the singalong moment halfway through. Funk City are the ultimate wedding band.”  From a wedding at Grittleton House

4. Jess – Private 40th Birthday

“What a night! I’ve had friends texting me all week asking who the band was. You turned my garden into Glastonbury. And the sax player?? Legendary Thank you!”

5. Mike – Festival Wedding in Berkshire

“You understood the vibe completely. I said we wanted a ‘mini-festival’ and you delivered in full. We even had a conga line! Perfect for festival weddings.”

6. Sarah & Daniel – Coombe Lodge Wedding

“We booked the 4-piece to fit the venue and it was spot on. You packed a punch for a smaller line-up and the interaction with guests was next-level.” – Explore the 4-piece band.   From a wedding at Coombe Lodge

7. Laura – Corporate Christmas Party

“Honestly the best decision we made. So much more engaging than a DJ, and you absolutely brought the room together. Still laughing at the impromptu karaoke moment.”

8. Ellie & George – Priston Mill Wedding

“You made the reception unforgettable. Everyone danced, even Uncle Pete (and he never dances). The vibe was spot on. Highly recommend the 3-piece if you’re tight on space.” From a wedding at Priston Mill

9. Nathan – Charity Gala Event

“Classy, fun, and seriously good musicians. Great transitions between songs and a real sense of knowing the audience. We’ll be booking again for next year.”

10. Zoe & Matt – Rustic Marquee Wedding

“From the acoustic drinks set to the final encore, you nailed it. Such a lovely group of people too. Made everything so easy and stress-free. You were very helpful”

11. Lucy – Corporate Retreat

“Wow. Just wow. Every single person was up and dancing, from the interns to the CFO. Loved the energy, loved the playlist, loved the band.”

12. Adam & Grace – Somerset Wedding

“We were after a local band with real talent and charisma — Funk City Band were all that and more. They were the highlight of our day.” From a wedding in Somerset

13. Nina – Birthday Bash in Bath

“You guys were outrageous (in the best way)! Still can’t believe you played all my favourite songs and had everyone screaming along like it was 2005.”

14. Charlotte & Ben – Hotel Du Vin Wedding

“Your acoustic duo during dinner and then the full band for dancing? Genius. Seamless transitions and a setlist that absolutely rocked.”

15. Paul – Networking Event Afterparty

“Incredible musicians and even better entertainers. You were the glue that brought the whole room together.”

16. Katie & Dom – Tipi Wedding in Wiltshire

“The weather tried to ruin it but you guys turned it around. We ended up with a rave in the mud and we’re not mad about it. Brilliant night!” From a wedding in Wiltshire

17. Alex – New Year’s Eve Bash

“Funk City Band = instant party. Countdown, confetti, and pure madness. You delivered everything we hoped for and more.” (Here is an Instagram Link of this very party)

18. Emma & Jack – Cotswolds Wedding

“We knew you’d be good. We didn’t expect to still be dancing at 1am begging for one more song. Magical stuff.”

19. Rob – University Alumni Ball

“Mixed crowd, mixed ages… but every generation was on that dance floor. Great pacing, incredible musicianship, and a real connection with the audience.”

20. Olivia & Mark – Festival Style Wedding

“Absolute fire from start to finish. We planned a wild one and you matched our energy beat for beat. We didn’t want the night to end!”

If you’re having a party and want a brilliant band that actually gets the vibe and gets people dancing. This is really important to us. If that sounds good— get in touch. We’d love to be the fun part of your night. If you have a wedding or event in a different place we are local to Bath, Wiltshire, Bristol, Somerset and Reading too although we travel absolutely everywhere. *Except the moon*. When people dance too much in zero gravity they have a tendency to float off which can cause problems with our insurance.
