I knew when I heard the Britney Spears cover that you were going to be our wedding band!!! Not only are Zazu the slickest band I've heard at a wedding, but you made our wedding so much fun and personal. Mike and I thank you so much - you gave us the most incredibly fun and energetic evening to our wedding, our guests cannot stop talking about the music!! The choices of songs were just perfect and your rendition of our first dance just made it for us. Thank you Zazu for making our night! And thank you to band manager, Ollie, for a seamless experience behind the scenes - you were ace! - Sarah & Mike Thornely - Booked Zazu for their wedding.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐It occurs to us that we haven't been in touch since our wedding on 7 July and we just wanted to drop you a quick line to say thank you. Your help in booking a band was really appreciated and we were so glad that we booked The Flyaways. Not only were they really friendly, but their music was incredible. They created the perfect party atmosphere and our friends were going crazy on the dance floor. Exactly what we'd hoped for and a brilliant way to end the day. Please pass on our thanks to them and we wish them all the best. Thanks again, Lisa and Doug Booked The Flyaways for their wedding

Why Hire a Live Band For Your Wedding?
Great and memorable weddings have incredible receptions that go on into the late hours. When you hire a great wedding band your guests won't be able to leave the dance floor. You need the energy and electricity of a live wedding band to wow the crowd and get the party started.
Our bands have played hundreds of weddings and really our absolute professionals. They cover everything including learning your first dance song, bringing fully PAT certified PA and equipment, and also providing a playlist for between their live sets so you don't need to hire a DJ. You can't beat the spontaneity and intimate nature of live music at a wedding.
Compared to recorded music, a live band on your big day truly sets the tone and is hugely impactful and impressive. Our performers have the experience to sense the mood of the room and change the tempo or tunes to make sure the dance floor is full and all your guests are having a great time.
If you have a wedding or event and aren't quite sure what sort of entertainment you're looking for, please don't hesitate to give us a call or email with your venue postcode and event date and we'll find something perfect for you.
How to Make Your Party or Corporate Event a Success
People attend corporate events for all sorts of reasons, and one of the most important is to mix, socialise, and make new contacts. Live music can help everyone to relax at a networking event and help break the ice at company parties. So why not hire a band?
Booking a band takes the pressure off you and allows you and your guests to really let your hair down and have a good time. It also says a lot about the host, that they went to the trouble of hiring a live band to entertain everyone. This is something your valuable clients will surely remember.
