Be a Rock-star or Soul Diva on your wedding day!
A great wedding entertainment idea to complete your big day?
The Bandeoke Experience is a specialist show providing a fun interactive way for you to party and celebrate your big day, where you and your guests have the opportunity to be singing super-stars for the night.
It's a more unusual wedding entertainment idea that works a dream for bride & grooms and their guests, leaving everyone with amazing memories to treasure forever.
The Bandeoke Experience leave's hype for others and instead delivers real substance - a very slick, fun, alternative wedding show, where you and your friends and family can perform to the musical backdrop of a top-flight professional band and live the dream.
Could bandeoke work for your wedding?
An original and unique idea bandeoke, or live band karaoke, has so many things going for it (provided it is delivered well). Why sing to a machine when you can have a fully fledged, extremely experienced band, helping you deliver adrenaline filled, emotional performances for and with all of your friends and family?
It’s big.
Maximum Audience Participation
...If you want to maximise the chances of your wedding reception going with a bang then hiring 'The Bandeoke Experience' could be a great option for you.
...It's all about engaging as much of your audience as possible & having the biggest impact we can in the allotted time...
...It's one thing to perform with us in front of your friends & family but it's also very engaging to see your friends & family up on the stage singing their song & shaking their thang! This is way more fun than watching a normal band...you are part of the show and the star!
…We often split our show between a floor-filling dance set for you and your guests to dance like crazy, and a bandeoke set so you can all sing like crazy, it’s a magic combination. If you have plenty of willing singers, then we can concentrate on the bandeoke for most of the night, however you wish to design the night is good for us.
How Does It All Work?
In a nutshell:
1. Ask us for specific advice regarding how our show could work at your wedding and book 'The Bandeoke Experience';
2. We'll work with you on the run up to your wedding to ensure everything goes smoothly;
3. Choose songs either before your wedding (via email) or just before and during the show (via our sign-up sheets) or both;
4. Guest bandeoke singers can come up as solo, duo or small groups to sing their favourite songs;
5. Everyone loves it and there is never enough time to fit everyone in!
6. Don’t book us again for your wedding because hopefully you will only be getting married once, so book us again for special birthdays and your work’s staff party to enjoy more 'Bandeoke Experience' action!

Bandeoke Experience Wedding Reviews
“We can’t thank you enough for the massive part you played at our vegas party.
You were a massive hit and the way your vocalist helped us all along with the songs was incredible. She was amazing and so kind! And Ross, thank you for all your help and guidance from helping choosing the right venue to the order of the day. It was so much fun and truly a night we’ll never forget!!”
Lois & Sally post-wedding celebration, Avon Gorge hotel, Sion Hill, Clifton, Bristol - October 2024
“Brilliant, bloody good fun!
After experiencing The Bandeoke Experience at a friend’s wedding, we knew we had to have it at ours. And we’re so thrilled we did - it was such a massive hit, everyone loved it! Our circle of friends and family had no problem getting up and singing their hearts out, because the Bandeoke crew were incredibly supportive, gracious and generous on stage. We can only hope they had as good a time as we did. Thank you for helping make our day so special!”
Huw & Teia, Wedding - Witney, Oxfordshire - July 2024
“The Bandeoke Experience played at our wedding and they were amazing. Very organised and professional. The band sounded fantastic and our guests loved it!”
Georgina Ziff & Rebecca Jeffries - The Greene Oak, Oakley Green, Windsor, Buckinghamshire - July 2024
“Great wedding entertainment, perfect planning and communication.
The Bandeoke team were so brilliant, we couldn't recommend them enough for a wedding - it was such a perfect end to our special day :)
The band were a great laugh, they made all the guests feel so comfortable and the bridal and grooms party feel really special.
Before the wedding, Ross and the back office team were so easy to work with, responsive, organised and great communicators. A total relief when you are dealing with multiple vendors, guests and budgets. I felt totally confident and was right to because it all went perfectly :D”
Laura Walton & Richard Lemmer, Wedding - Sheepdrove Organic Farm, Lambourn, Hungerford, Berkshire - June 2024
“So Much Fun!
We booked The Bandeoke Experience for our wedding and had the most amazing day. We absolutely loved the bandeoke and so did all our guests! The band were just fantastic and everything worked really smoothly. Thank you for such an incredible, fun show!”
Sophie and Dave Hudson’s Wedding - Leigh Park Hotel, Bradford-on-Avon, Wiltshire - September 2023
“an excellent performance at our wedding…”
“We just wanted to thank you to you and the band on an excellent performance at our wedding last Saturday. Also the setup of the music during the drinks reception and wedding breakfast was perfect and so was the setup for the speeches. Myself and Anita had a great time and so did all the guests.”
Anita and Simon’s Wedding - Avon gorge hotel, Clifton, Bristol - September 2023
“We had such an amazing time, the band and show were 10/10,
so glad we went with Bandeoke! Our friends and family loved it as well. Thank you for all the hard work and your band members for their performances, they were fantastic.”
Jessie & Omar’s Wedding - Chilston Park Hotel, Maidstone, Kent - July 2023
“We booked the bandeoke experience for our wedding and they were AMAZING!
We were so pleased with them. We were originally going to have a mix of the band and bandeoke but we had so many guests want to sing, we just had the bandeoke set. Our venue had live music restrictions at 11 pm so they played a Spotify set list for the last hour which was also really good.”
Laura Poole’s Wedding - Lanwades Hall, Newmarket, Suffolk - July 2023
“The Bandeoke Experience made everyone's night.
We booked the Bandeoke Experience for our wedding celebration and they made the night a special one, not just for us, but for all our guests. From initial booking Ross was brilliant, helping with clear communication and a detailed plan that covered everything, which meant I didn't have to worry about organisation, he had it covered expertly. On the day Ross, Klaus and the rest of the band set up and delivered an amazing experience. Everyone had a fantastic evening that was filled with unanimously positive comments given to me about the band. I really hope that they got a sense of how much they were appreciated and the fun that was had by all.
I am really thankful for them also for being so accommodating of our home setup as I am sure they have played much more prestigious venues in the past and will do so again.
The Bandeoke Experience made the evening of our wedding celebration everything we hoped for and more. We wanted a night that all our friends and family would not only enjoy but that would stick in their memories as an absolute whopper of a party and they delivered this is buckets.
I will certainly be recommending them to anyone who cares to listen. If you're thinking about hiring these guys for your event, do it! They are super talented, hugely professional and a joy to work with.”
Stuart Blakemore & Joanne Tuvey, Wedding - Private marquee, Sevenoaks, Kent - June 2023
“Epic Wedding Party
Thank you to you all for being so brilliant on for our wedding. We had countless people come up to us on the day, and send messages after saying how they’d never seen bandeoke at a wedding before and how fun it was. You made it all very easy and slick on the day, dealt with all the ‘performers’ so well and kept to time which meant we could finish with all our favourites on the DJ set. Thank you for learning some of our songs for us & being super professional. Highly recommend.”
Max & Lucy, Wedding - Combe Manor, West Berkshire - June 2023
“Made our wedding extra special!
We booked the Bandeoke Experience for our wedding in Cornwall, and it was epic! The team were incredibly helpful in the build up to the wedding and were excellent during the event. Everyone that attended had a great time with a huge variety of songs sung. Many of our guests said it was the best wedding entertainment they have ever been part of. (I now want our other friends to book Bandeoke for their weddings!”
Amy & Jack Freeman, Wedding - The Driftwood Spars, Saint Agnes, Cornwall - June 2023
“Hi Ross, Hope you’re well. I just wanted to pass on our sincerest thanks to you & the rest of the band for your incredible performance at our wedding.
Our guests have all been absolutely raving about The Bandeoke Experience, every single one we have spoken to has said how much they enjoyed it. We’ve had a preview from our videographer and she has really captured the atmosphere on the dancefloor and what a fantastic conclusion it was to our wedding day. We loved every minute of it. We hope you guys enjoyed yourselves as well. Thanks again, Paul & Fran”
Paul & Fran, Wedding - Alrewas Hayes, Burton on Trent, Staffordshire - May 2023
“We absolutely LOVED the Bandeoke Experience and so did all of our friends and family.
It couldn't have been anymore perfect for our wedding and we just wished it could have gone on until sunrise! Thank you so much to you and the band - please pass on our thanks (and apologies for hogging the mic hehe!). We are very happy to leave a review also. Wishing you a great summer!”
Aimee-Claire & Jay, Wedding, Barley Wood House, Somerset - May 2023
“Great Wedding Day Entertainment
We just wanted to write to say thank you so much for being a part of our wedding day. You really provided a fantastic experience. Your communications leading up to the big day were impeccable and you were very friendly, flexible and understanding. The guests absolutely loved it, and Magda was incredible as the frontwoman, providing support and encouragement when needed, and letting guests shine when they were more competent (or at least they thought they were!). Some of the most memorable moments of the day came from the Bandeoke, so thank you so much for that. My only wish is that it could have gone on for another few hours!”
Leanna & Nathan O’Neill, Wedding - Rivervale Barn, Yateley, Hampshire - April 2023
“We had the Bandeoke Experience for our wedding and they were incredible from start to finish..
both on the evening and importantly in all the pre booking engagement. Ross & team could not have been more helpful and responsive and helpful with any and all questions and queries. The main thing was the delivery on the day which was also first class and all our guests had an amazing time and loved every minute of it.”

Jo & Roy Hawkes, Wedding - Colchester, Essex - August 2022
“Well let me tell you that it was an AMAZING outstanding night! Everyone attending was up and singing! Sometimes more than once! The band members themselves were fabulous, fantastic, they were really accommodating and created a brilliant atmosphere…”
Everyone was asking where I found you guys from, they’re 10 out of 10, we’ve raised the bar in entertaining and run up to a wedding. It was just the best at qqq. I’m gutted I didn’t sing more but the fuzz may have shut us down then ? I have two family members who have milestone birthdays next year and have taken your details. My brother comperes for weddings and he said that this was ‘next level!’ Thank you so much Ross for remaining committed to us throughout the pandemic and ‘delivering’ on your promise of a fantastic night !
Raheela Rasheed (daughter Zara's) Wedding - High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire- July 2022
“…It was such a fantastically fun evening…”
We just wanted to drop an email to say a huge thank you to the band last night! It was such a fantastically fun evening, absolutely made by having bandeoke. Everyone I’ve spoken to this morning has had an absolute blast and even some of the more shy members of the party felt so buzzed that they got up and sang too, so thank you for providing such a great atmosphere!
We would do it all again tonight if we could!
Lauren and James, Wedding - Bristol - July 2022
“5 stars! We were told by many of our guests it was the best wedding they had ever been to. Having the fantastic band, the lights, the sound, it all completely transformed what could have been quite cringy karaoke to such a spectacle. We all had so much fun, and it made the wedding much more exciting than the usual wedding evening recipe of a covers band and DJ. Thanks.”
Jaz & Matt, Wedding - Clifton, Bristol - July 2022
“We had the most amazing night! The Bandaoke Experience went down a storm, I believe we had waiting lists after the sets finished. The band were amazing and professional and we can’t thank you enough!”

Hi Ross, everything went superbly on the day, thank you. Ben and the team were amazing and the crowd absolutely loved it! Thank you for everything. I am happy to leave a review online somewhere - just point me in the right direction. Or I can just email you a quote/paragraph for you to put on your site, just let me know. Thanks again, James

Hi Ross, just wanted to send a belated thank you to yourself and the entire band. You played for us on 11/9 and I have to say it was incredible. We had the best time and cannot thank you enough for your talent, organisation, tolerance and incredible skill. I wish you all so much love and joy in the future. Thank you for making our day unforgettable.

“We couldn’t have asked for better entertainment for our guests!”
Thank you for the amazing experience - it was like nothing we’d been to before! We loved the bands great energy, they were all so professional and very talented musicians. Would 100% recommend to anyone getting married or throwing a party!
Laura & Nathan Ashley, Wedding - Clevedon Hall, Bristol - August 2021
“The Bandeoke Experience did an amazing job… The band were great fun, really encouraging to our guests and super tight. Would absolutely recommend you.”
We just got back from our honeymoon and wanted to say how amazing the bandeoke was last Saturday. Our friends really loved it and we had loads of people signing up who we would never have guessed would be into it. You guys also did a fantastic job of adapting to when we and our guests accidentally "improvised" a little with the song structures - really impressive.
Iain & Lyndsay Ure, Wedding - Wilton’s Music Hall, London - August 2021
“We LOVED having bandeoke at our wedding and our guests had the best time!”
Amelia & Sam Butler, Wedding - Eastfields Farm Barns, Bedfordshire - August 2021
“The band were ace and our guests loved having them as part of the event...”
The band were ace and our guests loved having them as part of the event - it certainly added to the feel we were aiming for. The song list was great. The band were unflappable as I minded my drunk uncle during a more rock and roll moment. We also appreciated them learning a song so close to our evening. The band were extremely relaxed with our schedule running behind time and we loved having them!
Francesca & Matt Lacey - Wedding - Turner Contemporary (Museum), Margate, Kent - August 2021
“Brilliant night at our recent wedding. Thanks to Ross and the rest of the band. You would not believe the number of guests that have commented on how much fun they had! Thanks again”
Richard & Kirsty, Wedding - Ashridge House, Hertfordshire - November 2019
“We booked the Bandeoke Experience for our wedding and could not be happier.”
Ross was absolutely on top of all the pre-wedding prep which really took any potential stress away; on the night itself he and the band (special mention to Julie the compere) directed the evening with so much professionalism and joy - making sure that everyone from my six-year-old niece to the slightly rowdier guests felt like an absolute rockstar with the microphone in hand. Will be booking them again for the anniversary party for sure!! 😄
Woon & Juliet Lee, Wedding - Ashridge House, Hertfordshire - October 2019
“Everyone wanted to do it. The band made it completely accessible for everyone and it really made the night…”
The standard of the band was so high. They were all super friendly and very impressive musicians. I was a bit worried that our guests would be a bit intimidated to do Bandeoke, but I was completely wrong. Everyone wanted to do it. The band made it completely accessible for everyone and it really made the night. It was such a fantastic evening thanks, in a major way, to The Bandeoke Experience. I would definitely do it again. Loved it!
Carly & Mike Crockford, Wedding - Bath, Somerset - September 2019
“Hi Ross, just to say a HUGE thank you to yourself and the band for your efforts on Saturday. It definitely surpassed our expectations and all of the guests loved it which really added to an already special day. Thanks again! Phil”
Phil & Rosie Benton - Wedding - Oxon Hoath, Kent - June 2019
"I think this was the perfect choice for our wedding and meant loads of people got involved…"
Hey Ross, thanks to you and your band for a terrific evening. All our guests had an amazing time and so did we. The band were great! Very positive and friendly people who all played really well. I loved that you guys entered the spirit of the performance and made our guests feel really welcome when it was their turn to sing. The communication all the way through to the lead up to the day was great and put me at ease which was one less thing for a bride to worry about. All our guests really loved the Bandeoke and had a wicked time at the wedding. I think this was the perfect choice for our wedding and meant loads of people got involved. I would have no hesitation in recommending the Bandeoke Experience for other events.
Thanks for all your hard work and for making our wedding a night to remember!
Leonie & Rob - Wedding - The Landmark Arts Centre, Teddington - September 2018
"It really is a once in a life time experience that you should book every year!"
If you want to guarantee your party goes with a swing book these guys. We booked them for our wedding reception as we really wanted to have a band and the option for guests to join in. Like all couples getting married you worry about people having a good time and getting on the dance floor. The opposite happened thanks to Ross and the team. From the first song there wasn't enough room on the dance floor and so many people wanted to sing with a live band we had to extend the night. In truth we wanted to extend all night! The booking communication was great and they can play anything! The equipment and sound was fantastic but it is the band members that make it. Friends came to us the next day to thank us because when can you sing with a massive band at full volume! It really is a once in a life time experience that you should book every year! Thank you Bankeoke Experience!
Gordon & Jan Tait - Wedding - Lainston House, Winchester - July 2018
“Exceptional from start to finish”
Hire these guys! I had a party after our wedding, on a Mississippi steamer down the Thames. I looked at a lot of rockaoke bands, including a more popular one regularly used by the boat company, but I have to say, from the first email, the Bandeoke Experience stood out and I was convinced they would deliver. On the night, my confidence was repaid: they delivered a stunning night, and being the organiser I really appreciated the regular
And professional contact. Exceptional from start to finish, I cannot recommend highly enough.

Wedding - Thames Luxury Charters - London - February 2018
"We just wanted to say a huge thank you for all your hard work on Saturday (and the lead up to it). We had such an incredible day and amazing evening singing and dancing with you guys!"
The set up on the night looked and sounded fantastic and the star cloth absolutely transformed the room. All our guests loved the Bandeoke experience, and even though not everyone was brave enough to get up on stage they all enjoyed singing along in the crowd! You really made the evening flow and all of our guests enjoyed themselves. The ending was perfect and a moment that will stay with us forever.
Ross, thank you for all your help in the lead up and for putting us both at ease. We didn't have to worry at all about the band set up, which made everything that little bit easier! Everything was so smooth and professional, we really appreciated it.
Once again thank you so much for making our day awesome!

"...A thousand thank you's to you all for helping us have such fun and take away so many brilliant memories of our big day..."
We wanted Kareoke to feature in our wedding and loved the idea of singing with a live band.. ..through the whole process you were timely, supportive and generally excellent. You really flexed according to the ability of the singers so no-one felt like an idiot up the stage. Apart from weaker singers (ourselves) we also had some really gifted singers at our reception and we loved how much you riffed with them and helped them shine.
Our guests all loved Bandeoke and have made reference to how much they enjoyed it in the messages we've received since our big day. Our guests having their 5 minutes of fame have also given us some of the best photo's from the day too. A thousand thank you's to you all for helping us have such fun and take away so many brilliant memories of our big day.

Bandeoke Wedding - The Garden Museum, Lambeth Palace, London - Sept 2014
"…The show was brilliant.."
We liked the idea of Bandeoke and wanted something fun for the wedding. Communication before the wedding was excellent and far exceeded expectations with good advice on things we hadn't even considered.
Apart from being excellent musicians and providing great music, the way they supported those who got up to sing was brilliant, picking up the lyrics if someone lost their place until they got themselves together again.
The show was brilliant, everyone commented on how good it was. A big thank you to you all from my initial enquiry, the good advice given and the great fun everyone had on the night!

Hi Ross,
I just wanted to say thank you for your extremely professional bandeoke show for our wedding earlier this month, everyone is raving about it and I'm sure you'll be getting lots of enquiries from the night. If anyone want's a reference i'll be happy to give it if you give me their contact info.
Thanks again.
