Ed & Shelley wanted live music to play quite a significant role in their big day and were looking to a hire a wedding band who could provide music during the meal as well as for the evening reception. 21st Century Riot played an early acoustic set to set the relaxed tone during the wedding breakfast followed by 2 full electric sets in the evening. To kick off the evening reception the guys also learnt the couple's first dance, You Are The Best Thing by Ray Lamontagne, which went down brilliantly - great track!! Thanks so much Ed & Shelley for your kind words below, so honored to have played a part in your special day.
Hi Helen,
Thank you so much for getting everything arranged so smoothly for our wedding knees-up last week. Having the band available to play both acoustic and electric sets was fantastic for breaking up the evening and we had so many compliments from guests about how great they were. The guys were so professional and easy to work with, setting up in good time and staying with us right until the end of the night – they certainly put in an impressive shift!
I should mention how special it was that the band learnt a track to play for our first dance and we appreciate that they really went the extra mile. Given that the dance floor was full for so much of the evening our other guests clearly enjoyed themselves too!
Best wishes,
Ed and Shelley
