Stuart and Alison Bell (Piersland House Hotel, Troon) Feb 24

"Splendid Gentlemen were an absolutely fantastic choice!

The communication before the wedding was excellent and very personal. They were open to any ideas my wife and I had and really just made the whole experience very easy.

Then on the actual wedding day they were over and above what I expected (and I’d seen them before and knew they were excellent). They really were fantastic!

So many of our guests mentioned how amazing they were. They really catered to the full wedding audience and played a flawless set of amazing rock and pop tunes. The dance floor was never empty and they clearly read the room well as it really just seemed like hit after hit,classic after classic for the whole room.

If you are looking for a great band for your wedding then this is your choice. They are anything but your typical wedding band, with a cool edge to them and managed to play everything from Foo Fighters to Shania Twain to Arctic Monkeys to Def Leppard to Taylor Swift…the list goes on!

Absolutely made our day even more special and memorable!”

 

Melissa and Andrew Black (Cornhill Castle, Biggar) Feb 24

“What can I say? We were all entertained from start to finish. Excellent band and a lovely group of guys. They played all of our favourite songs and had really energy and enthusiasm throughout the whole wedding. I would highly recommend Splendid Gentlemen to anyone seeking a wedding band for their big day. They are competitively priced and their communication was great all the way. Highly professional band. Our day was all the better for having them!”

 

Savannah and Gee Save (Comrie Croft, Perth) Nov 23

“We booked Splendid Gentlemen for our wedding and it was perfect! We highly recommend you booking them for your events! Great communication before the day, listened to our wishes and gave us recommendations too. The minute they arrived at the venue they managed to turn up the atmosphere around! Our guests had a blast dancing on their songs. They are super talented and we loved their performance for all songs played. They even took on requests which was a plus for our guests! Special mention for their patience when teaching us the Ceilidh danses, a group of Frenchies who never did Ceilidh before but they took the time and everyone had a super fun time learning and dancing! Thank you again for everything and we will definitely come see you play again when the occasion comes!”

 

Stuart and Kim Morris Don (Balmule House, Dunfermline) Dec 23

“Hi Dee thanks very much for being our Wedding Band at Balmule House, Dunfermline on 16/12/23. We had a fantastic time. 5 star performance by you 3 guys. You had everyone dancing all night. I would highly recommend you to everyone. Nothing was a problem, the best band, you don't need to look at any other band. Kind regards Stuart & Kim”

 

Adam and Roslyn Clarke (House for an Art Lover) Dec 23

“We booked Splendid Gentlemen to play at our wedding reception on 30th December 2023 at House for an Art Lover in Glasgow.

The band were fantastic and great to deal with from initial booking through to the performance.

We had seen them play a few times at Maggie May's in Glasgow and knew roughly what to expect, but on the night they exceeded those high expectations and put on a brilliant show.

The guys know a massive range of songs and even learned our first dance - 'I was made for loving you' by Kiss. They have a great ability to adapt their performance on the night and play requests to make sure everyone has a great time and enjoys the music without feeling left out.

The guests were hugely complimentary of Splendid Gentleman, with many commenting it was the best wedding band they had heard.”

 

Megan and Matthew Wiseman (Enterkine House Hotel, Ayr) Dec 23

“We had splendid gentleman play at our wedding reception recently, they were absolutely fantastic and everything we hoped for in a wedding band. Timely replies to our emails in the lead up and nothing was a bother. They learned the song we had requested and did a fabulous job with it. They played a wonderful set with such a variety of music genres and were so happy to take on our guests requests too! I did not leave the dance floor for most of the night and all the guests said the smile did not leave my face! Lots of good feedback from our guests saying they loved our band! A personal favourite from most was “killing in the name” and the mosh pit Thank you!!”

 

Alexa and Kevin Flynn (Drumtoochty Castle, Aberdeenshire) Nov 23 

“Splendid Gentlemen performed on November 7th 2023 at our wedding located at Drumtochty Castle in Aberdeenshire. They were so much fun and everyone mentioned how talented they were. Throughout the whole process (planning a destination wedding), Dee was communicative and reachable which I thoroughly appreciated. Even during the evening, they were so fun to talk to and very down to earth.

My biggest concern was hiring a "typical" wedding band and I can assure you, they are not! They are a fun rock band that plays weddings and take requests!

My only negative is that we are now back in Canada and were are unable to see them perform again. We would highly recommend them if you are looking for an authentic, party, live band experience.

Thank you Splendid Gentlemen!

The Flynns”

 

Jordan and Hannah O’Neill (Double Tree By Hilton, Westerwood, Cumbernauld) Nov 23 

“Splendid Gentlemen were incredible! Every single song they played was perfect, from blink to rage against the machine they made our wedding day all the more special and unique to us as a couple. Cannot express how amazing this band was and to anyone looking at bands for their big day….look no further you’ve found the band for you!”

 

Liam & Suzanne Morton, (Barony Castle, Peebles) Nov 23 

“Wow wow wow you guys were incredible!! What an amazing job you did with our first dance song and all other songs into the night. All night long you smashed song upon song and were incredible. You had the dancefloor packed all night and everyone was telling us how fab you were. The ceilidh was hilarious and also went down a treat! ???? Well done on rounding everyone up for that as well as couldn’t have been easy haha. Sincere thanks guys. You were awesome!!x”

Stacey and Alex Harkness (Dalmeny Park Hotel, Barrhead) Oct 23

“Splendid Gentlemen are class!! would highly recommend for your wedding, especially if you want to spend all night on the dance floor! They played a great mix of songs, some ceilidh numbers and even the clash request from my dad which he loved ????.

All our guests agreed that Splendid Gentlemen were fantastic.

Thanks again guys x”

 

Peter and Jillian Hoben (Bowfield Hotel, Johnston) Nov 23 

“We had the pleasure of the Splendid Gentlemen playing at our wedding recently and by God they were amazing, everyone commented on how awesome they were. They learnt our first dance and absolutely nailed it. They played all our requests along with their own set list and they really knew what to play to get the crowd dancing, even my brother who has never danced made it on to the dance floor. Great entertainers and wonderful with the children. This felt like we had our very own rock gig dedicated just to us and our family. The bride also got some nu metal and a very good rendition of Tribute. The under 10's got their first taste of Metallica and a mini mosh pit and loved it. As per all the other reviews.... book them!”

 

Rebecca And Paul Harkness (Bogbain Farm, Inverness) Sep 23

“The absolute best!

Booked Splendid Gentlemen purely off videos online, then went to a gig and actually cried because both me and my partner adored every single song!

Communication with Dee was bang on from start to finish, our first dance was probably done even better than the original and they even learned another request for the groom which went down class!

My husband and I didn't leave the dance floor all night, they picked up the vibe of the crowd pretty swift and I've had countless messages telling me that hearing Offspring at a wedding was a highlight!

On top of being superb, they're genuinely lovely lads too, and I can't wait to catch them at a gig or ten as soon as possible!”

 

Catriona and Andy MacGregor (House for an Art Lover, Glasgow) Sep 23

“Splendid Gentlemen are highly recommended for a wedding. They were so helpful during the planning stages, with quick replies and replying to any questions asked! On the day they were fantastic and delivered exactly what was asked. They were so friendly and approachable, and all of our guests commented on how great they were on the day. We wanted an evening band that kept the dance floor full all night and they absolutely delivered, I'm just gutted our attention was stolen so many times and I missed even more time dancing!! Family members who'd normally sit in the corner were fully involved and it was just fantastic. Thanks so much guys and can't wait to come to more of your gigs!”

 

Tracy and Jamie Rivett (Fruit Farm, Loch Lomond) Oct 23

“Hey guys,

Just to say a massive thank you for playing Fruin Farm last night for the Rivetts, you guys were amazing and absolutely knocked it out of the park, our own personal gig on the best day ever. So many compliments and even Wayne, the owner of Fruin Farm, loved it.

As soon as we saw you in Maggie Mays we knew we were in good hands, and I think the sore necks and sore feet from headbanging and jumping around is really the best testament we can give you!!”

 

Sarah and Stuart Gray (Harlow Farm, Ayr) Sep 23

“What a night! Splendid Gentlemen did more than deliver at our wedding. From learning our first dance to closing with some absolute anthems rather than the usual Loch Lomond. Couldn’t have picked a better band. Everyone had a fantastic time, the dance floor was jumping and the song choices were just spot on. Could not recommend these guys enough. Everyone was asking us who they were and saying that they were just superb. Thank you so much to Dee and the boys for making sure married life started off with a party for the ages. My wife and I love a good gig… that’s basically what our reception turned out to be, could not have been any more perfect! Not your typical wedding band.”

 

Rachel and Matthew Reid (Cardney Steading, Perth) Sep 23

“Would highly recommend booking Splendid Gentlemen for your wedding. We had SO much fun and the dance floor was full all night - there have been a lot of complaints about sore legs since!! Guests commented on how great they were and how they’d never heard Rage Against the Machine played at a wedding before - a personal highlight of the day! They were able to learn our first dance too which was just amazing. Not your typical wedding band which is exactly what we wanted - thank you guys so much! X.” 

 

Lauren and Nicholas Lindsay (Radstone Hotel, Larkhall) Sep 23

“Splendid Gentleman played at our wedding last weekend & they were absolutely fantastic. They were able to learn our first dance with only a few weeks notice and also slow the tempo down a little so we could dance a bit better to it! Guests were on the dancefloor the whole night and being able to incorporate a little bit of ceilidh for 30 mins was perfect for us!  If you are thinking about booking these guys - do it. 100% recommend. thank you again!”

 

Pauline and Drew Higgins (Huntingtower Hotel, Perth)  Aug 23

“The Splendid Gentlemen are an amazing band that everyone loved, freinds and family are still talking about them a month and more later.The dance floor was always full and the ceilidh set was good fun. They would definitely be top of the list if we ever need to book a band in the future.

Thanks again, Pauline and Drew.”

 

 Mel and Yasmin (The Weaving Shed, Dundee) Aug 23

“When we started looking for a wedding band, as soon as we stumbled upon Splendid Gentlemen we knew that we didn’t want a band that wouldn’t be up for playing Hole or The Distillers, so it had to be them.

Dee was great to communicate with in the booking process and in the run up to the day.

The set the guys played was brilliant (actually maybe too good as I don’t think we sat down from the time they started) every song was a banger, and the highlight was definitely our first dance Heaven is a Place on Earth which they more than did justice and now we need to come to a gig to hopefully hear it again!!

Thank you so much for giving us the most ‘us’ set we could have asked for.”

 

Connor Wilson and Zoe Whitley (Hartree Estates, Bigger) Aug 23 Part 2

100% recommend. Played our wedding and were phenomenal had the crowd up all night. We particularly enjoyed the rock songs including Rage Against the Machine, Foo Fighters, AC/DC etc instead of the typical stuff you here more often. They are open to requests and let me join in for a couple of songs too for some impromptu Karaoke ???? cheers guys we will come see you when you play in Edinburgh!” 

 

Zoe Whitley and Connor Wilson (Hartree Estates, Bigger) Aug 23 Part 1

“They played at our wedding and they were absolutely incredible. Throw backs to some absolutely decent tunes but not your typical ones and we absolutely loved it. They are the best wedding band I have heard and I am not being biased. Will be recommending to all going forward.”

 

Honestly couldn't recommend these guys enough get them booked in early as there diary is always full!” Julie and Tom McManus (Seamill Hydro, Seamill) Jul 23

“We booked these guys for our wedding at seamill hydro in July 2023, it was one of the first things we secured after the venue as once I heard them, I knew they had to be at our wedding, and I wasn't disappointed!

Dee and his band were so accommodating and professional in terms of there set up and how long they actually played for, they even learnt a new song Lumineers sleep on the floor especially for our day.

The dance floor was full all night and all I kept getting asked from our guests was "who are the band!?" They even asked me if I had any requests but there own repertoire was so good, I just said keep doing what your doing!

 

Lauren and Matthew Gallagher (Seamill Hydro, Seamill) Jul 23

“Incredible Band. Family and friends haven’t stopped complimenting how amazing the music was and it was impossible to leave the dance floor - what a beautiful atmosphere this made! Top that off with them being the loveliest group of gents, cannot recommend them highly enough ????”

 

Shakira and Kyle Allen (Meldrum House, Aberdeenshire) Jul 23

“Splendid Gentlemen played at our wedding on 30th July 2023! They were absolutely fantastic and we would highly recommend them to everyone! 

They played the selection of songs we wanted and mixed in some cèilidh dances too! Everyone was up on the dance floor and there was just one great song after another! They even took some on the spot requests from our guests! 

Thank you guys again for making it such a fantastic evening.”

 

Nicolle and Ryan Shaw (Cottiers, Glasgow) Jul 23

“The Splendid Gentlemen played our wedding on 14th July and we couldn't recommend them more! The dance floor was full the whole night and we've had so many compliments about them. We chose to have them play live, do a ceilidh and also DJ the final part of the reception, and they were truly excellent the entire evening. The communication throughout the entire process was great too. Thanks again!”

 

Rosie and Peter Wall (Drumtochty Castle, Aberdeen) May 23

“We cannot say enough good things about the Spendid Gentlemen and its hard to even know where to start. They truly made our special day that much better. From the beginning of dealing with these legends we could tell that they were experienced, they were easy to book and responsive to emails, nothing was a big deal. They have a great selection of dance floor bangers, they can ceilidh and they learnt our first dance song. These guys sound amazing, they are very talented musicians and we had a lot of guests raving about them. The proof was in the dance floor, when they were playing it was full! Thanks so much Splendid Gentlemen we loved having you as our wedding band. R&P 31.5.23”

 

Tara and Jonas Ahern (Boturich Castle, Balloch) Jul 23

“Hi Dee,

Thank you guys so much for Sunday night!

We had the absolute best time. Couldn’t have asked for anything more. The first dance was just perfect and we got so many compliments from the guests for you guys. Everyone was really impressed-The photographer even said you were the best band he’d seen at a wedding venue. I am so grateful for you and your talent! It was a pleasure to meet you all. Thanks again!!!”

 

Jen Forrest and Stuart Blackwood (Byre at Inchyra, Perth) May 23

“We had the best party at our wedding with The Splendid Gentlemen leading the way! We gave a little bit of guidance on what music we liked (and hated!), and the type of party we wanted, and they brought the whole event to life. We didn’t want typical wedding music and The Splendid Gentlemen were perfect for this. Our highlights were Teenage Dirtbag (Wheatus), Everybody Needs Somebody to Love (Blues Brothers) and of course, their slowed down version of No One Knows (Queens of the Stone Age) for our first dance. There were always people on the dance floor, plenty of guitar solos (real and air guitars!) and we had so many guests tell us how much they enjoyed themselves.”

Tyler and Scott Mathieson (Meldrum House Hotel, Aberdeenshire) Jun 23

“Splendid Gentleman were absolutely fantastic. We booked them for our wedding after hearing great reviews from others attending another wedding, then checking out their videos and repertoire - which in itself is amazing! 

From the very first phone call to book them, through to their performance on the day, everything was faultless - even after we dropped it on them that we wanted a few ceilidh songs, with about half an hour before they started playing! 

They also offer to learn your first dance song as an alternative to playing the track, which we took them up on and it was fantastic!! We’re so pleased this will be caught on our video and we’ll have this version of the song to listen back to. 

Guests have told us how much they enjoyed our band, and a few commented that they were so good, they couldn’t get to the bar because they couldn’t bring themselves to leave the dancefloor - which was genuinely full for banger after banger. 

Couldn’t recommend them highly enough to anyone looking for a wedding band, and we are so hoping we will see them at another wedding soon!”

 

Lauren and Sean McGowan (GG’s Yard, Dumfries) Jun 23

“we hired Splendid Gentlemen for our wedding and what can we say, they were amazing! 

we asked for an old school Cathouse night and that was exactly what we got. A great mix of tunes and the dance floor was full the whole time. They took requests and their set up looked great. we can't recommend them enough and we will definitely be back to see them play in Maggie's and the Scotia. thanks guys for making our night!

 

Emma Connor, (Cancer Support Scotland) Mar 23

"Splendid Gentlemen are the go to party band for any occasion. Having booked these guys a couple of times to play Cancer Support Scotland’s Ladies Lunch, I guarantee they are able to fill the dance floor and play everything from the usual party tunes to Blink 182, so there’s something to suit everyone!
 

These guys show up on time, come prepared for any requests - and even sing happy birthday to anyone celebrating!


They are amazing, I would highly recommend them” 

Melissa and Tristan Osborne (Drumtochty Castle, Aberdeenshire) May 23

“What an absolute blast of a wedding night thanks to Splendid Gentleman. At our request, on came Rage Against the Machine and the mosh pit was insane, soooo much fun. Thanks guys, you rocked!”

Fiona and Richard Stoddart (The Waterside Hotel, West Kilbride) May 23

“we had been looking for our band during lockdown, and when reviewing on various wedding sites, Splendid Gentlemen were the ones we kept coming back to. We had watched some of their YouTube videos, and followed on Facebook as couldn't get to see them live anywhere during that time, but I had faith they were the band for us!

Fast forward a few months after booking and I had heard reviews from a couple of people who had been at different weddings, and couldn't have been more complimentary!! We were really excited to have them be part of our wedding party and the guys did not disappoint.

with the varying age range of wedding guests, everyone was catered for, and even got my big brother up on the dancefloor which is no mean feat!! honestly, you will not be disappointed if you book SG, and we will definitely be going to see another gig or two for more singing and dancing!”

Claire and Stuart Money (Lyndhurst Hotel, Johnston) May 23

“I found SG at one of the wedding shows (my bridesmaid was taking to the drummer and he mentioned Blink182, so she grabbed me and informed me she had found our band. Job done!)… 

Communication was excellent from start to finish, including regarding a date and venue change.. we really wanted to retain the band and they made that happen! They truly made our wedding reception the best fun. Our first dance was incredible (we couldn’t decide what we wanted and Dee was v helpful with suggestions! ) they played an amazing range of music we loved, took requests etc… we also gave them free reign for the final song as I cannot stand Runrig… so Rage Against the Machine it was!! 

(my father in law did say I was weird after that but hey, all the best people are! Our wedding was non-traditional so it really fitted with what we had done (fu I won’t do what you tell me) 

Anyway, everyone has commented on what a brilliant band they are and how much fun they had dancing to them! Will be coming to Maggie Mays asap to enjoy a show 

if you’re looking for your band, look no further!!!!!!”

Josie and Gavin Faulkner (Roodlea Barn, Ayr) May 23

friends wedding, where we danced all night and did not sit down! After that we decided it literally couldn't be anyone else to play our wedding. Dee's communication and organisation is wonderful, and on the night they were just perfect. They played songs we'd requested, called ceilidh dances, and played with so much love, energy and enthusiasm people literally couldn't stop dancing! So many of our wedding guests have said that they're the best wedding band they've seen. Absolute legends, and cant wait to see them play again!”

 

Selina & Lewis Forsyth (The Den, Culross) Apr 23

"These guys are absolutely brilliant with a fantastic choice of songs to play. They played our wedding for us and didn’t disappoint and played loads of requests too so we had a happy bunch on the dance floor and something for everyone. They are very professional and communication was fantastic on the run up. They even learnt our first dance song. We will definitely come to a future gig to see them again”

 

Jamie and Nicola Cairns (Bowfield Country Club, Howwood) Mar 23 

“Splendid Gentlemen played our wedding on 4/3/23, even prior to this we watched them and spoke to them performing in Maggie Mays and they were very welcoming and friendly! 

Words aren’t enough to describe these guys, they are professional, friendly, funny and know how to keep a dance floor full all night long!! If you are thinking about booking do it now you honestly will not regret it!! They catered to our crowd as it was very mixed and were fab with the guests and taking requests playing everything from Steps to Tenacious D (insane btw) and Green Day. We had compliments all night long. 

We can’t thank them enough for the effort that went into our first dance and last songs which were a bit quirky, they even joined in with wearing hats and getting some pictures after, they were performed tremendously and made our night, literally blew us away, couldn’t have asked for anymore. 

Cannot wait to see you guys live again, thank you very much! A very delighted Mr and Mrs Cairns.”

 

Jane and Iain Beckett (Rufflets Country House, St. Andrews) Feb 23

“We recently hired Splendid Gentlemen for our wedding in St Andrews and we thought they were absolutely fantastic! The dance floor was never empty as they played a great mix of both recent and classic songs (and a few left field requests ) that appealed to all generations. Our guests all commented on how good they were. Not only are they excellent musicians but they were always prompt and professional when responding to any emails in the run up to our wedding. Splendid Gentlemen also played a half hour ceilidh set which was very popular with our guests. The dance floor wasn’t big enough for everybody! Our friends and family members who had travelled from other countries had an absolute blast! Thank you for making our wedding reception unforgettable.” 

David and Lori O’Donoghue (The Gailes Hotel, Irvine) Feb 23

“We had Splendid Gentlemen play at our wedding in February in 2023, it was their first wedding of the year with their new drummer and and they were fantastic!

We had a mixture of older and younger people and every one of them said how great they were. They played a mixture of music, a lot of requests and played some ceilidh music, which our Irish guests really enjoyed.

We booked this band from reading their great reviews and listening to them online – and we are so glad we did! From booking them right up until the end of the wedding night they were faultless, and we would 100% recommend them to anyone who wants a night of dancing!”

Blair and Hayley Stewart (Old Dr. Bell’s Bath House, Edinburgh) Dec 22

“The Splendid Gentlemen are a top tier wedding band. Professional but fun, with a huge back catalogue of tracks, and above all else, very talented musicians. We booked them on reviews alone, then saw them for the first time at a pub in Glasgow the week before our big day. They were just superb; taking requests and the vibe of the crowd in their stride, and seeming to adapt their set lists to make the best night out for everyone there. We requested a few tracks that weren't on their website for our own wedding, and they played them without fault. It really helped knowing that our band would take care of themselves and smash our wedding night, without us having to do much at all. We highly recommend!”

Luke and Kirsty Scholfield (Carberry Tower, Musselburgh) Dec 22

“We booked Splendid Gentlemen for our winter wedding on 4 December, and they were FANTASTIC! Everyone loved hearing songs that we grew up with and knew all the words to - from Blink-182 to the Fratellis to Tenacious D. The band have such an amazing variety of music that every single guest at your wedding will love them, we promise! We had so many compliments. 

Dee kept in touch throughout and nothing was too much trouble. The band also did an INCREDIBLE cover of our first dance, Sway by Bic Runga. 

We would recommend Splendid Gentlemen to anyone, thanks so much guys!

With love. 

Mr and Mrs Scholfield x .”

Ryan and Rachael Denny (Oran Mor, Glasgow) Oct 22

“We cannot recommend these guys enough! They were amazing playing at our wedding in October in Oran Mor and the dance floor was never empty which was exactly what we wanted. So many guests commented on how brilliant they were and one even said he felt like he was at a gig in King Tuts!

Thank you so much guys

Rachael & Ryan”

Declan and Hannah Noble (Cornhill Castle, Biggar) Dec 22

“We booked the band for our December wedding this year and we are sooo happy that we did! We had listened to so many bands online but it was an easy decision once we found Splendid Gentlemen. They were even better in person and we had so many people compliment them after the wedding! They cover such a great variety of songs and know how to get people on the dance floor!

Thanks again”

Alasdair and Amanda Weir (Cornhill Castle, Biggar) Dec 22

“The Splendid Gentlemen played recently at our wedding in Cornhill Castle- and they absolutely made our night! 

The communications from Dee were always so efficient from booking to introducing the band on the night of the wedding. They engaged with our guests throughout the 'gig' as we called it, taking requests and providing the banter. We had so many guests tell us how fab the band were on the night, and messages for days after asking for the name of the band.

The guys read the room, playing a brilliant mix of classics, floor fillers and rock. The dance floor was literally full all night! 

We can't thank the guys enough for providing absolutely epic entertainment. We will be sure to recommend them in future and attend any gigs when we can!”

Christopher and Elen Kulagowski-Heron (Dunblane Hydro, Dunblane) May 22

“We booked Splendid Gentlemen for our wedding back in May. The communication was great, and their repertoire was vast to suit our varied music tastes. During lockdown we enjoyed watching their liveish streams and by the time the wedding came it felt like friends were playing for us. They learnt our first song for us and everyone commented on how great they were. Highly recommend.”

Emma and Darren Barclay (Barn at Barra Castle, Aberdeenshire) September 22

“It would be easy to say that we’re biased but Splendid Gentlemen are hands down, the best band that we’ve seen perform at any wedding!

Dee, Scott and Michael were extremely easy to work with in the lead up to our big day. The guys put on a performance that we’ll never forget!

The night was full of Indie, Pop Punk, Rock and Metal classics. They were also more than happy to accommodate further requests from our guests.

We can’t wait to see Splendid Gentlemen perform again so we’ll be making sure to attend one of their gigs, in the near future!

Darren & Emma”

Aaron and Rachael Duff (Turin Castle, Forfar) Nov 22

“We booked Splendid Gentlemen for our wedding and they didn't disappoint. We wanted to avoid the cliched wedding music and go for a band that would be happy to play some good classic rock, and these guys were great at getting the balance right. They kept people dancing all night and would highly recommend.”

Gordon and Steph Forsyth (The Vu, Bathgate) Oct 22

“I cannot recommend Splendid Gentlemen enough. Due to planning our wedding during covid we had not met or seen the band live. When booking we just went with what we listened to online, from other people's reviews just our overall interaction with the band. We emailed the band over a few months before the wedding to ask if they would be able to learn our first dance song and father daughter dance song, which they agreed to with the amount of notice etc. We are very thankful they did as we like a very strange mix of country, pop, rock and metal music and both these songs were country and not very well known. Our wedding was very relaxed and we really just wanted everyone to have fun, that was all we wanted from our guests. Now when the guys arrived I was definitely a few cocktails in but every interaction I had up until I have blanks was great. They were lovely, approachable and the most important thing they sounded amazing! Our first dance song and father daughter dance song were incredible, they put their own spin on it which worked so well and was just perfect. I may have a few blanks but I do know that I was dancing and jumping around a lot to the music (so thankful I wore docs!). They played songs that catered to all our guests, and every guest has commented on how awesome the band was and how great the music was! Thank you for helping us create exactly what we wanted for our wedding & ensuring everyone had fun! I am gutted I either missed or don't remember (pretty sure I was put to bed by this point) the heavier music later on in the night, but my husband and our friends loved it so much! 

Thank you 

Mr & Mrs Forsyth” 

David and Alana Pollock (The Carlton Hotel, Prestwick) Oct 22

What can I say about these guys, they played our wedding on Sunday and were absolutely amazing!! 

They played every single song to perfection and have a range of songs under their belt, including (much to my delight) pretty difficult songs to sing like Tenacious D Tribute.

If you are considering booking this band for a wedding (or any event) do it now, you won't be disappointed! My husband and I are looking to see when we can maybe go to a pub gig soon to see them again and they've even promised us a wee picture with them as we forgot to get one.

Great bunch of guys and super talented!

Oh and all of our guests have been raving about how good they were since Sunday!

Thank you so much

Mr & Ms Pollock x”

Connor and Heather Ross (Dalmeny Park Hotel, Barrhead) Oct 22

“the absolute best band about . i first heard splendid gentleman at my brothers wedding back in 2019 & knew as soon as i got engaged the following year i wanted them as my wedding band . 3 down to earth , brand new guys with the best taste in music not even exaggerating when i say the dancefloor was absolutely packed the full night at my wedding last week . they really made it the best night i could of asked for . thanks so much guys . heather & connor xx”

Adrian and Kayleigh Rietveld (The Busby Hotel, Busby) Oct 22

“Splendid Gentlemen are an amazing band. so friendly and had the dance floor packed all night. Our wedding guests thought they were amazing. Our first dance song sounded brilliant. 100% recomend these guys- best money spent.”

Lynne & Julie Mitchell (St Lukes and the Winged Ox, Glasgow) Sep 22

“I cannot recommend these guys highly enough! My wife and I first met them at a wedding show over 3 years ago where we had a chat about the kinds of music we liked. We then were lucky enough to see them play in Maggie May's pre-pandemic and we knew they were the band for us! 

They have a fabulous mix of genres and songs, were happy to take any requests and even threw a bit of ceilidh in the mix! They did an amazing job of our first dance song and we have had so many people tell us how much they loved the band.

They are professional and friendly and made sure that we had a fabulous night. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a wedding band.  

Thanks Dee, Scott and Michael, you guys are awesome!”

Jamie and Katie Kang (Carlowrie Castle, Edinburgh) Sep 22

“Hi Dee & Splendid Gentlemen :)

Just a quick message to say thank you so much for the brilliant set at our wedding at Carlowrie Castle on Friday. We had so many people say how great they thought you were! Our first dance was perfect, thanks so much for playing it for us.”

Scott and Gemma Kirkwood (Glencourse House, Edinburgh) Aug 22

“These guys were just amazing!!! Booked them blind during covid based on their online content alone, and they certainly didn’t disappoint! Great mix of songs and genres, huge selection of tunes in their repertoire! Dee and the guys were so obliging to all our requests and we honestly had the best night with them. Super friendly, easy to communicate with and all our guests have been raving about them since! Would definitely book for any other events in the future! Loved them from start to finish! Thanks again guys.”

Sam and Jodi Barras (Old Dr. Bell’s Baths, Edinburgh) Aug 22

“Unbelievable wedding band! We didn’t manage to see them live before our wedding due to covid but knew from online videos and joining them in the live sessions on Facebook we had picked the right band for us!

Nothing was too much hassle and the communication before the big day was fantastic! They were so helpful when we told them what we had planned for our first dance and it worked perfectly!

On the day they were professional and friendly and kept people on the dance floor the whole night. Love that they took requests to make sure there was something for everyone! Still to this day we get comments from people about how much they loved the band.

Would 100% recommend them to anyone looking for a wedding band and we’re so glad we chose them!

Thanks again guys! You made our wedding reception perfect!”

Lewis and Shannon Rose (Maryculter House, Aberdeenshire) Aug 22

“I will try to keep it short and sweet. But… these boys are the absolute best at what they do.

Nothing was ever a problem, they were flexible about doing some ceilidh tunes even at short notice. I asked if they’d learn a song for us, wasn’t an issue. Can you play some metal for us? Not an issue. 

“Play some metal to keep the groom happy”

Had a mini set of metal tunes to really keep me on my toes and the dance floor full.

They played my brothers wedding in 2019 so I was lucky to have seen them before and they blew the crowd away on that occasion so I didn’t think they could get any better.. but by god they were even better. 

What a band, what a day.

Book them!!!!”

Jenni and Fi McGinty (Greenbank Gardens, Newton Mearns) Aug 22

“We wanted to book an actual rock band for our music festival themed wedding, and Splendid Gentlemen did not disappoint!

We booked the guys in late 2018 for an original wedding date in 2020, however Covid rudely got in the way and we postponed twice in that time! The guys had zero issues moving the date and we made sure we got them for our final date- August 12th 2022.

Safe to say with a festival theme, the guys were the best choice especially having such a varied arsenal of tunes, it was a no brainer.

We went to Dee with the theme - ‘Mid 2000’s Cathouse Belters and Mosher Tunes’ and we were NOT disappointed!

Keeping a casual gig attire and playing tunes such as Dragula, Buddy Holly, No one Knows, Teenage Dirtbag, Rolling, Tribute, Girl All the Bad Guys Want (to name a few) it’s very safe to say we were dancing most of the night!

The guys learnt and played live a beautiful cover of me and my wifey’s fave song (Jenny’s Song - We The Kings) for our first dance and we could not have been happier with it!

Music makes a night? Absolutely it does and we wouldn’t have had half as much fun if we didn’t book the guys to play. Safe to say we’ll happily support them in the future and should anyone we know need a band, we’ll personally be recommending them!

Thank you again lads for making our wedding reception EVERYTHING we wanted as much as we can’t remember the exact playlist, we know we had a blast and it was exactly how we wanted the night to go!

You are absolute legends ????”

Calum and Harley Sherret (GG’s Yard, Dumfries) Aug 22

“These guys are simply awesome!! The nicest blokes and they really put everything into making your night as memorable as possible.

We had them play at our wedding and they were fantastic, everyone was raving about them during & after!

They know how to keep the dance floor jumping and really put on a hell of a show!

Can't recommend them highly enough!!”

Jennifer and Claire Murphy (Lochside House Hotel, New Cumnock) July 22

“Absolutely fantastic! We were so pleased with Splendid Gentlemen. Excellent communication right from booking all the way through until after the wedding. They were very accommodating to any of our requests and learned our first dance song for us, even changing a few words to make it more personal. On the night they played a variety of genres to suit our guests from old school pop to pop punk to a ceilidh set. The dancefloor was full all night and we have received many comments from guests about how good the band was and have even had friends express interest in booking them for their own wedding. The guys are all so friendly and created such a fun and welcoming atmosphere for everyone. I would recommend them over and over again without a doubt!”

Michael and Lauren Smith (Rowallan Castle, Ayrshire) July 22

“We were so excited to have Splendid Gentlemen play at our wedding! We had booked them without seeing them live based on their online content and great reviews, then after seeing them at Stramash we knew we'd made a brilliant choice as they totally smashed it. Ahead of the wedding they were easy to communicate with, really positive and reassuring. On the day they blew us away - our first dance was perfect and from there they had the dance floor filled all night. So many of our guests commented on how amazing the band were and asked how we had found them. If you're considering them for your wedding (or any other function), book them!!!! Cracking variety of songs that cater for everyone, ceilidh was great fun, they were incredible at any genre from Bon Jovi to Britney Spears  - we'll definitely go and see them again in Glasgow or Edinburgh. Thanks so much guys - Mr and Mrs Smith, Rowallan Castle 16/7/22”

Calum and Jen Milne (Seamill Hydro, West Kilbride) July 22

“The Splendid Gentlemen performed at our wedding reception and were absolutely amazing! They played a diverse set of songs, with covers ranging from Fleetwood Mac to Wheatus. Their unique sound created a great atmosphere for our wedding, kept the dance floor packed and all of us thoroughly entertained. They also squeezed in a half hour ceilidh set, which was a huge crowd-pleaser! Several of our guests, both on the night and since, have commented on the brilliant performance.

Dee, Scott and Michael were incredibly helpful and friendly, even managing to learn a last minute request for us with just a few days’ notice. Communication was great throughout and we always felt we were in good hands.

If you are looking for a band that are perfect professionals, but also great fun, friendly and a bit different, then look no further!”

Dominic and Heather Deeny (Carberry Tower, Musselburgh) July 22

“A fantastic performance for our wedding! The band were happy to practice our requested wedding song and played a superb mix all evening! We cannot wait to see these guys again in future." 

John and Stephanie Innes (Borthwick Castle, Edinburgh) July 22

“These guys are incredible - so much fun and so talented! We booked them for our wedding and I was nervous at first since they're more "rock forward" and I wanted to be sure that everyone could enjoy and get on the dance floor...but they honestly blew everyone away. Grandparents, folks who don't normally like to dance, kids, friends - I can't tell you how many times our guests came to up to us to say how talented they were and what a great band we had gotten. Honestly, book The Splendid Gentlemen. They're great to work with and I would recommend them to absolutely anyone.”

Graeme and Nicola MacGregor-France (Comrie Croft, Crieff) July 22

"Splendid Gentleman played our wedding on July 1st at Comrie Croft and their performance was outstanding! We are not ceilidh people and knew we wanted a band that would play the music we knew our guests would love. 

From Britney to Nirvana, they played one banger after another that kept people on the dancefloor, myself included to the point that I had to ask them to stop for a minute so I could go outside to cool down! They were game to play requests from guests, including Metallica and Tenacious D and even learned Paramore super quick for us when we asked! 

We were blown away by the fantastic guitar solo’s that were completely spot on, and the music really made the day, giving it the festival feel we looking for. 10/10 would recommend!”

Alyson and Barry Holmes (Carlton Hotel, Prestwick) July 22

“What a performance by Splendid Gentlemen, they put the effort in to learn our first dance request and performed it magnificently! The dance floor was full all night! We have had nothing but positive comments from our guests about how good the band were. Good variety of music including a ceilidh. Thank you so much for helping to make our day so special!

Mr & Mrs Holmes”

Andrew and Emma Mitton (Pitordrie House, Aberdeenshire) June 22

“We had Splendid Gentlemen play for our wedding reception in June this year and I can honestly say it was one of the highlights of our day. We’d watched their live-ish shows during covid and were so excited to see them in person and they certainly didn’t disappoint. We danced all night, they catered to everyone’s tastes and were more than happy to take requests all night. We’ve had so many people comment since on just how good they were and one of our guests is now planning to book them for their own wedding! Can’t wait for a chance to see them play live again. Thanks so much for making our reception the best night ever!”

Ricky and Roisin Little (Oran Mor, Glasgow) May 22

“Such a brilliant band. Dance floor was never empty. Asked for them to play a specific version of a song for our first dance and it was perfect. Would highly recommend. Thanks again!”

Chris and Claire Straiton (The VU, Bathgate) May 22

“Wow what a band. I had Splendid Gentlemen as my wedding band and they really are amazing. The band were attentive to all my requests before and during the wedding and even my rock request which was just superb. I wish i could do it all over again just to hear then play. Highly recommended!!!”

Matt and Lisa Ford (The Walled Garden, Alloa) May 22

“Anyone looking for a band to make your reception and pack your dancefloor NEED to book Splendid Gentlemen. We honestly had the most amazing night, from Spice Girls to Nirvana they covered everything and were more than happy to accomodate requests from guests. Our dancefloor was packed the whole night and everyone we've spoken to since has raved about the guys! The banter was brilliant and they were more than happy to chat with us during their break too. Special thanks to them for taking on our odd first dance request (2 songs really) and making it amazing. Cannot recommend them highly enough!”

Stuart and Vhari Beattie (Airth Castle, Airth) May 22

“Just a wee note to say how blown away and priveledged we were to have the Splendid Gentlemen as our wedding band!!

Each and everyone of our guests continually came up to us asking where we found them and how utterly amazeballs they were!!!

Fantastic night woth not one single guest without sore feet from dancing! 

You guys are phenomenal at what you do and we couldn’t have asked for better!

Lots and lots of love and THE BEST MEMORIES!! Mr and Mrs Beattie!”

Lisa and Paul Meenan (Cardney Steading, Dunkeld) April 22

“Splendid Gentlemen played at our wedding in April 2022 and we cannot recommend these guys highly enough.

Choosing a band was one of the hardest things for us to do until we listened to SG's Medley videos on their Youtube channel. These guys are unlike any other band we've heard, their ability to play absolutely any genre is unreal. They can instantly read a crowd to know what will get people up dancing and keep them up dancing all night. They happily took requests which saw them go from playing Nirvana to Blink 182 to Oasis to Avril Lavigne to the Spice Girls (yes, you read correctly) and it all just works. They had all our guests up dancing, even those who usually enjoy a quiet seat in the corner of the room!

They learned our first dance song for us with no issues at all and we love it just as much, if not more, than the original.

Thanks for playing at our wedding Dee, Michael and Scott. We had the best time and so glad we had you guys as our band!”

Emma and Craig Dolan (Cotters, Glasgow) May 2022

“Splendid Gentlemen played our wedding on Sunday night May 1st and they were honestly incredible from start to finish! They smashed our first dance song and I now am more fond of their version than Taylor Swift’s (so let me know if it’s ever on Spotify lads!!). Everyone loved You’ve Got a Friend In Me second to get everyone on to the dance floor and it was such an amazing mix of songs to tailor to all tastes. We had a lot from England up for the wedding and they had an absolute blast at the ceilidh. My friends and family all have very varied tastes and everyone loved you so thank you so so much, you made our night so extra special we can’t wait to come see you play in the future! Love from the new Mr and Mrs Dolan (and our Toy Story mad child Ellie) xx”

Debbie and Roy Donnachie (Enterkine House Hotel, Ayr) April 2022

“Our wedding was the most special day. It was made amazing from start to finish, partly because of the love and company from our friends and family, but a large part of that was down to our AWESOME suppliers. You guys. Absolute belters. I mean is there even a word that covers how grateful we are? I’ll need to find that thesaurus and check!

The music was out of this world, top notch skills from you guys. And as my dad pointed out, very accommodating for a swift 7.15 exit for my faithers football victory lol!

Yous best believe there will be some super enthusiastic recommendations coming from me left right and centre in the days, weeks and months to come! Keep them peepers peeled.”

Lucy & Brian Ramsay (BAaD, Glasgow) March 2022

“Splendid Gentlemen were absolutely amazing! We had a call with them to discuss our music tastes and likes/dislikes and they absolutely nailed it. The dance floor was full all night. Our guests loved the band and we got so many compliments on how fantastic they were. Definitely not your typical wedding band, which suited us to a tee! Thank you Splendid Gentlemen for a fantastic night!!” 

Ceara and Fiona McAuley (Lodge on Loch Lomond, Luss) March 2022

“Just WOW. These guys played at our wedding recently and totally MADE the full night, the atmosphere, the song choices, the pure talent, quality and professionalism of the guys was just outstanding!! They had a laugh with the guests too and took time out to come and congratulate us personally which was lovely. Nothing was too much hassle for them they even learned a song for us that we requested, and very reasonably priced too. Myself, my wife and our guests had an absolute ball and everybody was full of compliments on the band, absolute 10/10 would HIGHLY recommend Splendid Gentlemen to anyone!!!!

Thanks again guys!! :).”

Claire and Zach Kilday (New Cumnock Working Man’s Club, New Cumnock) April 2022

“What can I say? My now husband and I wanted nothing more than good music and an absolute party on our wedding day and these guys exceeded all expectation. Never have we heard of a wedding band who play Limp Bizkit, Greenday, the Offspring and even System of a Down - with songs that aren't easy to play! These fellas nailed every single song, I genuinely would like their setlist to put in a frame to remember forever (can we please have it?) Highlights included Tribute by Tenacious D with me, my husband and two of our friends performing as a quartet, our stage dive into the crowd and my husband and his best man ripping it up to Chop Suey..Spendid is a total understatement guys, we are literally thinking of booking you for every anniversary for the foreseeable. Thank you so much for making our night. Hope to meet you again sometime at one of your gigs. If you need a band for any event, this is the one.”

Alan and Hannah Chapman (Drumtochty Castle, Aberdeenshire) March 2022

“We booked splendid gentlemen for our wedding on 12th March 2022 at Drumtochty Castle and my god are we glad we did! We were looking for a non-traditional wedding band and they nailed this for us! The guys were lovely and took requests during the night which our guests loved! We had some absolute rock bangers played which our guests and us loved along with the odd classic! 

We sent the guys an acoustic and normal version of our first dance song to be blended which they did perfectly - it was exactly what we had asked for! They are a great band with a large selection of music.

The guys were are great addition to our night and I would highly recommend! Don’t just think about booking them…get them booked!!”

Steph and Ross Davison (Cornhill Castle, Biggar) March 2022

“Splendid gentlemen played at our wedding at Cornhill castle this year and we’re everything we expected and more. We had to postpone in 2021 due to covid and the band were extremely accommodating.

Dee and the guys kept the dance floor filled all night, taking requests and just generally being all round good guys.

Thanks again! We might just need to get married every year from now on so we can have a massive party”

John and Laura Farquhar (Banchory Lodge, Aberdeen) December 2021

“Splendid Gentlemen played at our wedding on the 19th December 2021. It was overwhelming looking for the a band and someone recommended Splendid Gentlemen to us. We are so glad they did! We watched some videos and had a look at their repertoire and we were sold. Genuinely so glad we booked these guys. The performance was amazing and they managed to keep the dance floor full all night. So many guests commented on how much they enjoyed their perormance. Thank you guys and hopefully we will get to see you perform again soon! Will be recommending you to any couples we know planning their wedding!”

Kieran and Stuart Thomas-Courtney (Western House Hotel, Ayr) December 2021

“You guys were absolutely amazing, we can't thank you enough, you played something for everyone, and I don't think there was a time where no one was on the dance floor.

These guys are the band for anything, if anyone is looking to have an amazing event, book Splendid Gentlemen, you will not be disappointed.

Thanks again guys.”

Kirsty and Kris Wallace-Boyle (The Gleddoch Hotel, Langbank) November 2021

“We booked The Splendid Gentlemen back in 2016 as our wedding band. Obviously due to Covid lockdowns and restrictions our wedding was prospond twice and we finally got to have our special day in December 2020 and carry on our celebrations through to 2021 by having our reception on the 18th November when finally we could have this amazing band play! Throughout all the changes of prosponements these guys were so supportive and so understanding. When it finally came to our wedding reception they were so amazing all the guests loved them and the dance floor was never empty. I could not recommend them enough.

Thanks Again Guys!!”

Erin & Ryan McFeeley (The Caves, Edinburgh) October 2021

“Ryan and I couldn’t have booked a more perfect band for our wedding reception. The guys were epic and were happy to take all our Pop Punk requests on the night which had us and our guests on the dance floor all night! Their repertoire throughout the night was varied and had a bit of something for everyone - even my Grampa was up dancing to a bit of Stacy’s Mom! 

Truly a fantastic band to round off such a great day! Highly recommend for any special occasions - great communication from the start and our guests were so impressed with their performance. 

Will keep in touch and hopefully see you guys at your local gigs in the near future!” 

Stephen and Tracy Kerr (Dalmeny Park Hotel, Barrhead) December 2021

“Where to start! What an amazing band, Splendid Gentleman's performance made our Wedding Day all the more special. Tracy and I had a wonderful day at Dalmeny Park Hotel in Barrhead and we actually changed the date of our wedding so the band would be available. There are thousands of bands on the circuit but I have no doubt Splendid Gentleman are the best out there. Dee and the guys played an incredible set and every song was an absolute banger. The dance floor was full all night. So please, do yourself a favour and book this band to play at your event. They are amazing and we can't rave about them enough, we are already looking forward to seeing them play againxx”

Liam and Catherine Carle (The Cowshed, Banchory) November 2021

“Apologies for the late review Dee! We hired Splendid Gentlemen for our wedding at the Cowshed YEARS ago before Covid was even a thought. What licely guys they were - totally understanding when it came to the several postponements. And simply amazing on the day itself - Our family loves a dance (especially oor Jack!) and so many people have came up to us and said it was the best wedding they had ever been too. We really hope to see the guys again at another wedding as they were just mindblowingly good. Rock on.”

Colin and Sarah Houston (Gleddoch House, Langbank) November 2021

“Splendid Gentlemen were the first supplier we booked for our wedding roughly 4 years ago. After someone recommended them we went to see them play at Maggie Mays in Glasgow, after they played 2 songs we couldn’t book them fast enough. Throughout the planning process, a pandemic and the postponement of our wedding, Dee was great with communication and also got back to our emails. In the run up to the wedding they asked if we had any requests etc. but we knew from previous reviews that these guys knew how to start the party. And wow! Immediately after our first dance, the band played their first song and the dance floor flooded with people, it didn’t empty the rest of the night. I honestly cannot praise these guys enough, so professional and talented. I’ll be recommending them to everyone I meet. Thanks again for making our special day so brilliant!”

James and Atalia Cassells (Garfield House Hotel, Glasgow) November 2021

“We booked Splendid Gentlemen for our wedding at Garfield House Hotel and honestly couldn't imagine anything better, Dee and the guys played everything from the spice girls to Metallica and the dancefloor was never empty. The guys already had our first dance song on their set list and were happy to learn some extra songs we requested, they took requests all night and nothing we asked was too much trouble. We couldn't recommend enough, thank you guys x”

Sam and Elaine Carter (Dalduff Barn, Maybole) November 2021

"Hi Dee,

Me and Elaine, and everyone who was at the wedding would like to thank you guys for Saturday! 

From start to finish, you guys have been fantastic. From first booking, rearranging during the lockdown, providing gigs in our living room and then our wedding. 

As soon as we saw you guys in Maggie May's we knew we had the right band for us, and as everyone we have spoken to on the night and afterwards have said, it was spectacular! 

The mixture of music and the requests were a great touch, Elaine is still a bit concerned that she was dancing with my nana shouting "Fuck you I wont do what you tell me!" 

I have never been to a wedding before where everyone was dancing from start to finish, and there have been loads of dancing related injuries reported as a result. 

You nailed the first dance, and we loved that everyone joined in quickly as they were clearly just desperate to get on the dance floor. Thanks again for the Joan Jett song! I think you guys did it brilliantly.

You were so good, you made normaly reserved people break out some moves we have never seen before, please see attached a short video of Elaine's brother pogo-ing around the dance floor! 

Thank you again, and we can't wait to see you guys next time you are gigging, whether it be in town or our living room!

Love and such,"

Stephen and Erin Shevas (The Caves, Edinburgh) November 2021

We booked Splendid Gentlemen for our wedding after going to see them at the scotia bar. They were brilliant and when they nailed Muse - Hysteria we knew they were the band for us. 

They were brilliant at the wedding and even learned Richard Ashcroft for our first dance which was brilliant. They kept the dance floor full all night and all our guest commented on how brilliant the band was.

Totally recommend them for any event. First class and very professional through out the whole booking process. ?? xx.

Ailie and Lauren Cameron (The Waterside, West Kilbride) October 2021

“We booked these guys after listing to them on online we had booked to go and see them live at Maggie mays but this is when Covid first hit and the show was cancelled. We have never heard them live but online and read all there reviews they were amazing! During lockdown we listened to them on there lives on Facebook we even got a request on our first date they sang Ed -Thinking out loud for us! We request our first dance song as this wasn’t on there list and all I can say is they were amazing at it. 100% recommend these guys you will have a great night xx.”

Steven and Joanne Cowie (Ballogie House, Aberdeenshire) October 2021

“Splendid Gentlemen played our wedding October 16th and they were incredible! They played a wide variety of music, and the dance floor was never empty. We have had many compliments for our guests since our day and we will definitely pop along to a SG gig! Highly recommend!”

Blair and James Morris Anderson (Norwood Hall Hotel, Aberdeen) October 2021

“These guys are absolute legends! Through lockdown we watched their “Live-ish” streams and loved their personalities and the way they could go from Metallica to Steps. How many other bands can do that? When they played our Wedding on 15th October we were all fangirling over them and they had the whole crowd on the dance floor at one point of the night due to the range of songs they can do. They are definitely a crowd pleaser and I would book them for any other event at the drop of a hat. 

Thanks again guys for an awesome night my legs are still aching as I don’t think I missed dancing to one song.

All the best.”

Andrew and Nicole Westcott (The Chester Hotel, Aberdeen) October 2021

“The Splendid Gentlemen played at our wedding at the beginning of October. Dee was so lovely to deal with and also very accommodating throughout covid, a new date and then later a venue change. They were also the perfect volume - loud on the dancefloor, and the oldies could still have conversations at their tables throughout the dance which was great. After a last minute change of heart from us, they also learned our first dance at short notice. Overall great experience booking these guys! A lovely bunch, looking forward to some gigs in future. Thanks again!”

David and Chantal Walker (Lodge on Loch Lomond, Luis) September 2021

“Splendid Gentleman were our evening entertainment for our wedding at the Lodge on Loch Lomond on 26/09/21. We got so lucky finding these fantastic guys to play at our wedding. We chose them because they can play Spice Girls for me and Pixies for my partner and a whole range of requests in-between for our guests of various ages....I knew they would be awesome but I think they were actually better than that! Also throughout lockdown Dee was quite entertaining over email....lovely guy :) they learnt our random first dance songs and kept us on the dance floor all night! Thank you Splendid Gentlemen!!!”

David and Danielle Paxton (Drumtochty Castle, Aberdeen) August 2021

“In a sentence - hire the Splendid Gentlemen for your next event!

We booked the Splendid Gentlemen for our wedding on August 25th at Drumtochty Castle, outside Aberdeen. They played for our 50 guests, with half attending from the US. Dee and the boys did an amazing job getting everyone on their feet - with their energy, showmanship, ceilidh and choice of songs. Having been to 20+ weddings in both the UK and the US they are hands down the best band we have seen at a wedding. Several of the guests shared the same sentiment with the band as they were wrapping up and with us the following day.  They mingled with the guests during their break during wrap-up and were a pleasure all around.

Beyond the performance itself, Dee was a true professional in the run-up to the event. He was responsive, informed of the latest on COVID, was willing to learn a song for our first dance and more than understanding when we had to push multiple times. 

A personal highlight was their rendition of the macarena (a guest's request). For an ask on the fly it was not half bad and was certainly a sight to behold.

Thank you to Dee and the guys again for making such a great evening!”

Craig and Jennifer Simpson (Alskeith House, Aberfoyle) August 2021

“To have you guys play on the most memorable day of our lives, was something up until that point i could only have dreamed about. Everything was perfect and this culminated in a perfect end to the night with you as the soundtrack. Nailed our first dance, and nailed every song after it. Consummate professionals from the day we first got in touch, I couldn't rate a band or an experience higher. Thank you so much for everything! No one that attended will ever forget and that's the highest praise i can say. Never stop rocking !”

Scott and Vanessa Cameron (Engine Works, Glasgow) August 2021

“Splendid Gentlemen lived up to their hype; they aren't your typical wedding band.

From meeting Dee at the Wedding Fayre, through to learning a new song for my wife and I's first dance; it's fair to say SG also rocked in the preparation department. 

On the day, the band made sure people were always dancing–playing a range of classic floor-fillers in their unique style and even taking a few requests from my wife and I for the second half of the night. Three more down-to-earth guys you could not find. We would gladly have SG play again at any other big events we host in the future.”

Doreen Hillis  (Aswanley, Aberdeenshire) August 2021

“Hi Guys

As mother of the bride I would like to thank you for your amazing contribution to making Lauren and Scott’s wedding day so special.

From the minute you started playing the venue rocked.

The playlist continued to impress  throughout the evening and it was a sad moment when you had to pack up and leave.

Can I also just say that not only was the music incredible but you guys were so accommodating and engaging in making the reception such a success.

You were great people also to speak to and I would thoroughly recommend you to any couple looking for a great band for their special day

Thanks once again.”

Alana and Iain MacLennan (Lodge on Loch Lomond, Luss) June 2021

“I found Splendid Gentlemen at a Wedding Show and instantly felt they were the band for the wedding, the reviews were fantastic and they have a very unique sound, which is exactly what we were looking for.

On the day of our wedding, it was announced on the morning that live bands could play at a normal sound level, which I couldn't have been happier to hear. We had decided all along we would still have Splendid Gentlemen at the wedding, regardless of restrictions because we wanted our guests to be entertained, and they certainly were.

My husband only seen the band perform on the day and was blown away with how good they were and how they could perform something at the drop of a hat! He agreed that my choice was a very good one to have picked such a first class band!

Every wedding guest who attended our wedding commented on how amazing Splendid Gentlemen are and how well they engage with the audience. So much so a lot of the guests are trying to find out when the guys are performing in Glasgow so they can go along and see them live again.

Although we had restrictions and although no one could really get up to dance, the venue was alive from the minute the band started. You could see guests wanting to get out of their seats to get on the dance floor. Looking around and seeing so many happy faces, singing along and chair dancing to some epic songs was all we could have asked for on the day. 

We made the right decision with the band we chose, they delivered on the day and brought so much excitement and happiness to our guests, who hadn't seen live music in a long time and so many other humans in one room for a long time! We had literally the best day we could have asked for and Splendid Gentlemen were the icing on the cake! If dancing was allowed there wouldn't have been a single seated guest on our day! 

Thank you guys so much for an evening to remember, we could not recommend you guys highly enough and we hope to see you again around Glasgow when we're back up that way! 

Alana & Iain

Thank you again for coming to our wedding and being so brilliant. We literally had the best day!

Take care.”

Chris and Kellie Duncan (Glen Tanner Estate, Aberdeenshire) February 2020

"Dee,

You rock.

Thats all. 

Thank you so much for coming along and playing at our wedding, our guests won't stop banging on about how good you were and you surprised a few of my friends with the shawn michaels entrance music ha! 

Hope you enjoyed your night, all the best.

The Duncans"

(Preeti Jassal, Event Organiser, Scottish Green Energy Awards) December 2019

“Thanks again for the amazing music on Thursday night. You guys all smashed it - we have received nothing but compliments from our 1,200 guests! It was a very large room to keep occupied but you all managed to keep their attention and most importantly played all of the crowd favourites! You guys are definitely my go-to-band as you are always so easy to work with, so thank you very very much.”

Sheryl and Ross Cupples (Bothwell Bridge Hotel, Bothwell) September 2019

“Hi Dee, you played at our wedding on 21 September this year and I think I said at the time that yous were amazing but honestly, I still can’t get over it. Having Splendid Gentleman as our band was by far one of the top 3 purchases that we made for the wedding. Every time someone mentions our wedding, they talk about the band. Looking back at our pictures/videos of our day, that dance floor was like nothing I’ve ever seen before. It was like we had our own superstars playing a private gig for us. It’s honestly mind blowing the energy, excitement, electricity and overwhelming happiness that you guys created, so much so, I couldn’t not tell you (again)! Keep doing what you’s are doing because more people need to see your work and book yous in. They will not be disappointed xxx”

Caroline and Jonathan Taylor (Glenskirlie Castle, Bonnybridge) November 2018

What can I say... this band were genuinely the best supplier we booked for our wedding Nov 2018! Splendid gentleman were not only so friendly & approachable but bloody hell are these guys talented! What initially attracted me to the band was their awesome playlist, which included ‘stars go blue’ by Ryan Adams- one of my all time favourite songs. This band are not afraid to be different and it definitely pays off to those interested in a unique wedding band. Dee learned and sang the most beautiful rendition of Jason Isbells ‘cover me up’ for our first dance, something which, I could never imagine anyone but the artist performing so well but he really seemed to belt out that song and give it the meaning it deserves- for that I am forever grateful. The band as a whole were fabulous and had the dance floor filled all night. They even stayed at the end to chat with me & my dad- lovely lovely guys!

Emma and Chris Dancer (Roman Camp Hotel, Callander) November 2019

SG played our wedding on 01/11/2019 and were superb - highly recommend!

Rachel and Colin Stewart (House for an Art Lover, Glasgow) November 2019

We booked Splendid Gentlemen for our wedding having seen them live at Maggie May’s. Their style and set list suited our taste in music perfectly and the guys clearly love what they do.

We couldn’t have asked for a better night thanks to the band. The song they learned especially for us was extra special.

Everyone had an amazing time, from floor fillers to our favourite tunes. A number of our guests travelled from outside of Scotland and so the ceilidh music went down really well and there was something for everyone.

The dance floor was full all night and guests kept commenting that the band were so good that the songs sounded like the original artists playing.

Thanks so much guys, we’re already on the lookout for your next gig venues!

David and Laura Glass (Lodge on the Loch, Loch Lomond) November 2019

We were so impressed with Splendid Gentleman at our friend’s wedding, we just had to have them play at our wedding on 9th November at the Lodge on Loch Lomond. Quite simply, they did not disappoint and they were absolutely amazing! The guys certainly went above and beyond and learned our first dance song which wasn’t on their repertoire of songs - it was delivered perfectly – and we could not of asked for anything better. Throughout the night they were fantastic and played a varied mixture of music that ensured the dance floor was full all night. No song was too challenging as our countless guest requests were always met, which pleased the crowd and created an unbelievable atmosphere. Since our wedding so many guests have been in touch to say how good the band was; from their song choices to the interaction with the crowd.

On another note, as over half our guests came from out with Scotland, Splendid Gentleman had a real challenge of playing a Ceilidh set. However, the guys were amazing and took time to explain all the dances and delivered a great Ceilidh. This was thoroughly enjoyed by all guests and we can’t wait to see the video of this.

We would absolutely recommend Splendid Gentleman to anyone and we would definitely book again. They really were Splendid. ;) 

Kirsty and Steven McCarroll (Lodge on the Loch, Loch Lomond) November 2019

We had Spendid Gentleman play at our wedding on 08.11.19 at the Lodge on the Loch and can honestly say they were amazing! They were lovely guys and the music was exactly what we wanted! A good mix and played loads of requests. The dancefloor full all night so our guests loved them as much as us! Would recommend to anyone and would definatley book again. They are brilliant :) x

Amy and Sean Collins (Glenskirlie Castle, Bonnybridge) October 2019

We had Splendid Gentlemen play at our halloween wedding and it was amazing. 

we have been asked by so many people who the band were as they were amazing. Their song choices were fantastic and we everything from cheesy classics to metallica and rage against the machine. Fantastic band and such lovely guys too! 

If we ever need a band booked again we wont hesitate to ask Splendid Gentlemen. They really are amazing!!

Liz Burns (Mother of the Groom) October 2019

my son and daughter in law hired these guys for their wedding.

what a band, fabulous crowded floor from start to finish. would highly recommend them.

Thomas & Kirsty Burns (Glenskirlie Castle, Bonnybridge) October 2019

Cannot thank you guys enough for playing our wedding on 25 Oct 19 at Glenskirlie Castle; from the first moment we spoke the communication has been outstanding and everything was made very easy!

You really did go you above and beyond for us by moving your holiday to make our wedding date!

We struggled to whittle down the playlist as you have an amazing repertoire, but you worked wonders with the list of artists we gave you!

The dancefloor was packed all night, and all guests were commenting on how unbelievable the band and playlist was; some saying how they've never seen a dancefloor packed with all the guys before!

We will definitely be back to see you at every opportunity; Keep on rollin' baby…

Joanne and Gavin Mackie (Dalmahoy Hotel, Edinburgh) October 2019

I just wanted to say a big thank you to yourself and the rest of the band for being so amazing at our wedding at the Dalmahoy on Friday 4/10/2019. You guys had so much energy and kept the dance floor full all night!

So many of the guests commented both on the night and the next day how great you guys were. You had a varied repertoire and managed to fit in a lot of our favourites which was great. You also did a bit of ceilidh which our guests loved!

Thanks again! We will certainly recommend you guys.

Sheryl and Ross Cupples (Bothwell Bridge Hotel, Glasgow) September 2019

Splendid Gentleman played at our wedding on 21 September 2019 and they were absolutely amazing, they are such talented and unique musicians. I wouldn’t be surprised if they get pick up with a record label at some point. Our dance floor was never empty and the atmosphere was everything I had hoped for. We are still having guests comment on how amazing you were. I am so grateful that we managed to secure you for our wedding. You guys really were one of the main highlights of my day! Thanks again for everything! Xxx

Fionnuala and Steven Roberts (Kingsmill Hotel, Inverness) September 2019

Splendid Gentlemen played for our wedding in Inverness on the 12th September and they were fantastic. I was slightly worried as it was quite a small wedding in a fairly big room though it might feel empty but Dee and the guys played such a fantastic range of songs that everyone was up dancing at some point. They were really friendly and happy to take requests. All our guests thought they were brilliant and we’ll definitely be going to see them when they play in Glasgow again. 

It’s always a chance when you book a band you’ve not heard play before but it’s definitely a chance worth taking on these guys. Highly recommended.

Elizabeth and Andrew Rae (Hamilton Town Hall Theatre, Hamilton) September 2019

Dee and the gang were our fantastic wedding band. They fitted our style perfectly, and owned the massive theatre stage we had them on. The only complaint we had from our guests, was our selfie lovers were enjoying the band so much they forgot to take pictures!

Natasha and Paul Toner (The VU, Bathgate) August 2019

Hey!

I would just like to say a massive thank you for playing at Paul and I's wedding back on the 1st August. The only job Paul had was to book a band - and he did a brilliant job! He came to Glasgow to see you both play and met you all. I had only seen videos online but was very excited. The day of the wedding came and you were phenomenal! EVERYONE spoke about the band, how amazing you sounded and how nice you all are. We cannot thank you enough! We are currently trying to organise a date night to come see you play again. Highly recommended. Thanks again ???????? 

Louise and Tim Freed (The Cruin, Loch Lomond) March 2019

Finally getting round to doing our review!! I can not recommend Splendid Gentleman enough - they were amazing at our wedding at the Cruin back at the end of March.

Music is so important to my husband and I as we go to loads of gigs and festivals so really wanted a band for our wedding that didn’t play your standard wedding music. They were recommended to us by someone at our venue and we listened to them on the way home from our viewing and knew they were the band for us.

Communication was brilliant which was really useful as we actually live in Gloucestershire but I made everyone go back to my hometown for the wedding. Everyone on the night commented on how good the music was and you guys coped amazingly considering the very random requests you kept getting!! Thank you so much for helping to make our wedding day a success- don’t suppose you fancy a trip down to Gloucester to play at my 40th next year ...... x

Lianne and Martin Blair (Lynnhurst Hotel, Johnstone) September 2019

The guys played our wedding on 06.09.19 and were honestly amazing dance floor was full all night and sang literally everything there version of our first dance was amazing !! Thanks so much again guys everyone is talking about how good our band was !!! X

Elaine and Paul McGrory (Lochside House Hotel, New Cumnock) August 2019

The perfect wedding band.

Being music lovers, finding the right band for our reception was a hugely important part of our wedding planning and from the first time we heard The Splendid Gentlemen, we knew we were on to a winner. From day one Dee’s communication was fantastic and left us in no doubt that we’d entrusted a huge part of our wedding day to the right band

We went to see the band numerous times in different venues around Glasgow and always came away delighted with the choice we had made. We can honestly say that rather than having any nerves about an empty dancefloor, we couldn’t wait for the band to get started. When they did, their hugely diverse repertoire kept the dancefloor filled and they even threw in a short, but very popular, ceilidh set which highlighted the band’s range of abilities. Always willing to take requests and with a fantastic ability to read the room, the band’s set list received compliment after compliment from our guests and set the tone for a fantastic night.

We couldn’t have been happier with our choice of wedding band and really can’t thank The Splendid Gentlemen enough for the perfect ending to a perfect day.

Rachel and David McLean (Duck Bay Hotel, Loch Lomond) August 2019

You guys are amazing! Thank you so much for playing our wedding (15.08) you kept the dance floor full all night and learnt and played our first dance song like you had known it forever. Everyone has been talking about you constantly and how amazing you guys were. We can not wait to see you play again. ????

Amy and Paul McIntyre (Greenock Town Hall, Greenock) July 2019

The guys played at our wedding on 13/07/2019 and they were amazing. Everyone has been talking about how great they were

Rachael and David Sullivan (Gleddoch House, Langbank) June 2019

These guys played our wedding in June and I can not recommend them enough. Our dance floor was full all night and everyone loved them. They are also super genuine nice guys into the bargain and were a dream to communicate with in the lead up to the big day. Thanks guys ????????

Erin and Sean O’Neill (Gleddoch House, Langbank) July 2019

genuinely amazing band, we wer blown away with how easy these guys were to deal with and there music is outstanding!!!

Chloe and Ross Cerretti (Forbes of Kingennie, Dundee) April 2019

We had Splendid Gentlemen playing at out wedding back in April. 

Everybody commented on how good our band was and the dance floor was full the whole evening. 

I would highly recommend this band for weddings, they certainly went above and beyond our expectations.

Caroline and Phillip Learmonth (Glen Tanar Estate, Aberdeen) June 2019

We booked these lovely guys for our wedding and they did not disappoint!! Can't recommended them highly enough! Thank you for making our wedding absolutely amazing!!

Nicole and Darren McFadyn (Lochside House, Ayrshire) June 2019

Great group of lads, knew what to play to get everyone in the dance floor.

Totally professional and made it a great evening!

 

Jenn and Adam Foster (Banchory Lodge, Aberdeen) June 2019

Unbelievably talented musicians and such nice guys. Rocked our wedding. Dance floor full all night. Guests are still talking about them. Absolutely splendid! 

 

Michelle Connelly June 2019

We couldn’t get Splendid Gentlemen for our wedding as they were already booked for our date in 2020! Highly recommended by friends who have seen them make many wedding nights fabulous at their wedding venue! They were so helpful despite not being available, these guys would make your wedding night one to remember!! 

 

Mandy and Alex Brown (The Gailes Hotel, Irvine) February 2019

Wow!! Splendid Gentlemen played our wedding back in February at the Gailes Hotel. They were absolutely amazing, guests are still raving about them. Nothing was too much trouble for them learning our first dance for the evening and when chatting to Scott during their short break on the evening I realised i had completely forgotten to ask them to do a short ceilidh section and this was done quite happily for me and our guests loved it. Communication was fantastic with Dee and before leaving we had a twenty minute blether too and loads of my guests popped over to compliment them on how bloody good they were. I really can’t recommend them enough if you are reading this and haven’t booked them - WHY NOT? Get them booked immediately ????
I also should have left this review weeks ago but that’s my bad! I’m still not ready for it all to be over.
Loads of love and thanks so much again

Debbie and Richard Craig (Brigg O’Doon, Ayr) April 2019

You guys ROCK! Literally! What a fantastic group of talented gentlemen! You had the dance floor filled at all times for our wedding last night.

Dee, you made everything so easy, from start to finish, and I knew from day one after meeting you that I had nothing to worry about and everything would be flawless.

 

Fiona and Duncan Stewart (The Dalmahoy Hotel, Edinburgh) February 2019

Thank you so much to splendid gentlemen for playing at our wedding on 16/2/19. We thought they were brilliant and our guests have been commenting on how great they were too. They were just the loveliest guys as well and made the booking process so easy and relaxed for us. We would highly recommend!

 

Amy and Craig Douglass (Kinkell Byre, Fife) February 2019

We recently had Splendid Gentlemen play for our Wedding and what a great choice it was. 

The booking process was made easy, and Dee was an absolute pleasure to deal with. They accommodated our first dance requests… and filled me with confidence prior to the day.

On the evening they were prompt and discreet with their setup, and received compliments from the venue team, where they had not played before, about how good they were to deal with.

Most importantly for a band, they were absolutely amazing live, even better than their showreels! They hit just the right tone with our guests, dealt with requests suitably and kept the dancefloor bouncing all evening.
I have heard nothing but praise for them from the guests and would not hesitate to recommend them. Will be keeping an eye out for their gigs as we would love to listen to them all over again!
Thanks again,

Derek MacPherson (Whistle Binkies) February 2019

Seen the guys at whistle binkies in Edinburgh last night and they were off the scale!!!!!!! Amazing!!! #shirleybassey

 

Stephanie and John David Hardie (Airth Castle, Airth) December 2018

THANK YOU SPLENDID GENTLEMEN! You guys played our wedding 21/12/18 and absolutely smashed it! Learned fairy tale of New York with only one weeks notice and everyone loved it. Your versions of Beyoncé and Little mix were just amazing! Can’t thank you guys enough! Amazing to deal with and true gentlemen! Even when we cut you short for the rave ???? sorry! Thanks again guys xxx

 

Lisa and John Lang (Cannonball, Edinburgh) November 2018

Thank you so much for playing at our wedding a few weeks back. You were exactly what we were looking for, no cheese in sight (except when demanded)! All of our guests have said how fab you were, played a fantastic range of music, even pulling off a request for the Spice Girls to great effect ????. We had a smaller reception in a smaller venue but you created a great atmosphere and had people up dancing all night. Great musicians and lovely guys to deal with! Will definitely recommend. Thanks again, 

 

Jessica and Allan Bews (Piperdam, Dundee) November 2018

Jessica Bews and I got married at Piperdam on the 09/11/18 these Splendid Gentlemen played at our wedding. They were absolutely incredible, I've never seen a band manage to get everyone at the wedding up and dancing. The dance floor was never empty from start to finish. Everyone couldn't stop talking about them. Highly recommend them!

 

Sophie and Keith Clark (Cullen Bay Hotel, Cullen) October 2018

Splendid Gentlemen played at our wedding on the 20th of October at Cullen Bay Hotel. When we first started looking at bands they stood out as the band for us. The dancefloor was never empty and the communication was really good as well - Dee was always helpful and quick at responding to any questions we had. They played a great selection of songs throughout the night that really played to the crowd. We are still getting guests who are commenting on how good a band they were. Offspring and Blink 182 went down particularly well! Thanks for being part of our wedding and help making it so memorable.

 

Laura and Gary Preston (Airth Castle, Airth) October 2018

Splendid Gentlemen played our wedding on 14/10/2018. When we were looking for a wedding band 2 years ago we knew we wanted something different we weren’t into the normal cheesy wedding singers/band. I was given their details and as soon as we listened to them on you tube we knew they were the one. From the start dee got back to us straight away and communication was great throughout!

Our first dance was The One by Kodaline and the boys covered amazingly - prefer their version of it now!

The ceilidh was brilliant fun and everyone loved it the boys had great banter with all my guests and even though we had just met it felt like they have been friends for life. No request was too much we went from Metallica / bon jovi to Swedish house mafia and avicii !

Thanks again boys you gave us a night to remember, and our guests loved you!

 

Nicola and Matthew Herd (Old Course Hotel. St. Andrews) October 2018

Absolutely amazing band from start to finish, so many guests commented on how good they are.

 

Karyn and Alan Sherriffs (Banchory Lodge, Aberdeen) October 2018

Definitely a 5 star review for the Splendid Gentleman...they played at our wedding at Banchory Lodge (Aberdeen) on October 21st and did an AMAZING job!!! We hadn't seen them live before but after reviewing their videos online we knew they would be great and they certainly didn't disappoint. Everyone commented on how good they were and the dance floor was hardly every empty! The guys were really lovely too and would definitely recommend them to anyone, thanks again guys!

 

Ewan Rowe (Wedding Guest)

was at a family wedding reception.

This band was exceptional. 

A massive range of music all well played and performed. 

Great with requests, stamped their own style on several songs and wonderful entertainment.

 

Lynsey and Ian Stewart (Brig O’Doon, Ayr) October 2018

Well well well what can I say these guys played at our wedding on Friday 12th October 2018 and they were brilliant! They played our first dance (one direction - little things) perfectly! I think they played little mix and Beyoncé to Metallica so they had such a wide range of music to play! There so good and I highly recommend them to anyone as they had everyone dancing all night! Thank you so much for making our night perfect!! 

 

Ryan Graham (Wedding Guest) September 2018

I was at a wedding on the 29th September. The guys were playing and the dance floor was full the entire night. Fantastic variety of songs and even took a request for biffy clyro which they played to perfection. I would definitely book them for any event. 10/10

 

Nicola Mills (Wedding Guest)

Had such an amazing time at the Matthew Wedding in Elgin 06.10.18

I was up dancing all night???????? yous are a fantastic band, with a wide range of music to suit all tastes. Definitely recommend, very talented bunch, ???????? xx

 

Mhairi Curran Marshall (Mother of the Bride)

Hi Guys, sorry it has taken so long to Thank You all so so much for the excellent “music” at my Daughters Wedding on Thursday 9th August at Lochside, Cumnock.. the dance floor was never empty, you certainly kept everyones feet tapping... till the next time

 

Paula & Andy Christian (Pollokshields Burgh Hall, Glasgow) September 2018 

Splendid Gentlemen played at our wedding at Pollokshields Burgh Hall on September 1st 2018. They were the very first vendor we booked after the venue as music is such a big priority to the both of us! Communication with Dee was great and we always had swift replies with nothing being too much trouble and noting our song requests.

On the day we both can't thank the guys enough. You really made our night, catering to our rockier tastes, some celidiah and also some more wedding traditional songs. The dance floor was busy all night. The Offspring (twice), Angus Young guitar moves during AC/DC and Purple Rain are the favourites! The guys really know how to work with the crowd they've got on the night. We've had nothing but great feedback from our guests. Really friendly guys who were happy to chat away with us and the guests.

Thanks guys you made our night and hopefully catch you at one of your gigs some time. 

 

Jade Ritchie (Wedding Guest)

i hoped to get splendid gentlemen to play at our wedding in june but they were unfortunatly booked but i was OVER THE MOOON to find out they were playing at my friends wedding at the weekend and they really live up to expectations! the dance floor was full the whole night and they did not dissapoint! x

 

John & Nicola Hunter (The Cruin, Loch Lomond) June 2018

Splendid Gentlemen played at our wedding on June 7th of this year.

I (bride), along with my Bridesmaid Aimee, first came across Splendid Gentlemen at the Scottish Wedding Show, held at the SECC Glasgow. Although the band did not play at the showcase on that particular day, we did get the opportunity to have a chat with them at their stall. We thought the guys they were great, so we really hoped that their music lived up to their fab personalities. We were not disappointed!! John (Groom) and went along to one of their gigs and knew straight away that they would be the ideal fit for our wedding. Dee made the whole booking process so easy and the communication was excellent. We loved how they played lots of rock classics along with music that suited everyone’s tastes, not your stereotypical ‘wedding band’, which we loved!! Our guests are still talking about how great they were and how they danced all night because it was just great tune after great tune! Our first dance was the Sleeping At Last version of ‘500 miles’, which they played superbly. They also kindly played a song for my dad and I to dance to (as a complete surprise to my dad), Heartlands, ‘I Loved Her First’, both songs were so special to us and something which we will always remember.
John, myself and our guests would highly recommend these guys!! Thank you so much to Splendid Gentlemen for a fantastic evening!

Brian & Jen Mitchell (The Caves, Edinburgh) April 2018

Sorry it's taken me so long to review. Splendid Gentlemen played at our wedding on the 6th April at The Caves in Edinburgh.

Right from the start, their communication and professionalism was superb.

On the night, they kept the dance floor full and bantered back and forward with everyone. Great range of tunes and you can see they play to the crowd. 

Everyone at the wedding all complimented how good they were.

If you thinking of booking them do not hesitate, I could recommend the highly enough!
Thanks for making our special day even more special with your performance.
Hope to get along to one of your gigs soon.
All the best.

 

Suzanne and Mark Golder (Rowantree, Edinburgh) June 2018

Brilliant band! Played at our wedding on the 20th of June at the Rowantree and everyone loved them. Had a brilliant night thanks to them

 

Rory & Emma Allardice (Double Tree by Hilton, Dundee) June 2018

Splendid Gentlemen played at our wedding on Friday 8th June at the Double Tree by Hilton Dundee and were all we could have hoped for and more! They went out of their way to learn our first dance song and made it their own which was absolutely fantastic. The dance floor was never empty once all night!

Dee and the guys were also as their name might suggest perfectly Splendid Gentlemen and were brilliant with us and all our guests - everybody loved them.

We can't thank the guys enough for supplying the soundtrack to our evening!

Thanks again,

 

Amy and John Fraser (Marycutler House Hotel, Aberdeen) June 2018

Absolutely amazing band! We had them at our wedding on Friday and I'm still having our guests comment on how good they are! I was extremely picky when it came to choosing a band to play at our wedding being big music lovers, but Splendid Gentlemen ticked all the boxes! The guys themselves are so down to earth and lovely, nothing was a hassle for them! They gladly accepted requests from us and our guests which made it that little bit more personal too and covered a variation of genres which I loved! I honestly cannot recommend them enough. A massive thank you for playing for us & I hope to see you all again in the future! Love, Mr & Mrs Fraser x

 

Caryn and Gary Edwards (Piperdam, Dundee) June 2018

Splendid Gentlemen played at our wedding at Piperdam on 1st of June and they were fantastic. One of the easiest decisions we made when planning our special day and they did not disappoint!! 

Although it was unbelievably hotthey were amazing! We've had so many compliments from so many guests! 

Genuinely could not have asked for a better band for our wedding, they truly helped make our day

 

Daniel and Emily Ferguson (Kilconquhar Castle Estate) June 2018

Amazing band and amazing group of guys. Genuine friendly bunch of guys who were very accommodating throughout our wedding reception. Were more than happy to cater to our needs even though we asked for a last minute request for a song a few days prior to our wedding, they had no issues with barely any notice and delivered this with 100%. The band were excellent from start to finish and the dance floor wasn't empty once. Catered to all our guests playing a great range of songs through the decades. Highly recommend these guys as their sound is fantastic and they are generally lovely guys.

Thanks again, all the best for the future,

 

Dionne and Gavin McCombie (Fairmount Hotel, St. Andrews) April 2018

Dee and the boys played at our wedding on the 7th of April at the Fairmont, St Andrews and what a bunch of genuine, talented gentlemen they are. We were recommended the band from friends and although we never saw the band live before our wedding this was never a worry in our minds. As soon as we booked we knew they were the right band for us.

Dee was fabulous in the planning of our day. The boys kindly learnt an old Australian family song for my family, which was extremely nostalgic for us. This song was so greatly appreciated by my family, my dad is still raving about it! The band brought a fantastic fresh vibe to our wedding and our dance floor was never empty, I genuinely mean that! We couldn't get some people off the dance floor!
They were super accommodating to any requests and those they couldn't fulfil they were happy for us to plug in a phone to play it through their break. This meant a lot to us and to our guests.
I strongly believe a band makes or breaks an evening wedding reception and this band MADE ours. We are still receiving compliments about the boys. True professionals worth their talent in gold! Thank you for helping to create memories that will last a lifetime. 

 

Fiona MacKenzie (Mother of the Bride)

Fantastic night (01.06.18) with these guys last night at my daughters wedding. Everyone commented on how good they were. Would highly recommed them! They were recommended to us by a friend and they didnt disappoint! Thanks guys!

 

Mary and Andy Blatchford (The Signet Library, Edinburgh) May 2018

Dee, Craig and Scott were absolutely fantastic!

Quick to respond when we were planning, super flexible with our requests and really took the time to understand of what kind of music we wanted to hear.

On the day, they read the small crowd brilliantly and kept the classics coming and the dancers dancing.

Couldn't have been happier with our choice!

 

Stephanie and Donald Watson (Brigg O’Doon, Ayr) May 2018

Splendid Gentlemen played at our wedding on Friday 18th May and what a band! They were excellent. The dance floor always had someone on it. They created a great atmosphere. Would highly recommend them. The band were a great bunch of guys. All up for a laugh. Thank you very much for playing at our wedding. And nailing Ram Jam Black Betty

 

Hannah and Fraser McGowan (Dalhousie Castle, Edinburgh) May 2018

My new wife and I had the absolute pleasure of having Splendid Gentlemen play at our wedding two days ago. They were absolutely phenomenal and everyone was up dancing by the middle of the first song, and kept going until the end of the night. Dee is a class act, keeping in contact on the lead up to the night and even honouring my request of a bit of Metallica. You can not go wrong with these gents!

 

Irene Pate (Mother of the Groom)

A great big thank you for playing at my sons wedding on Saturday at Dalhousie Castle. Everyone still talking about how good you were , wonderful wedding band.

 

Kirsty and Dean Logan (Dunblane Hydro) April 2018

I don't even know where to start with these guys! It has been an absolute pleasure dealing with these gents from day 1 for our Wedding on 3rd April 2018. I did not stop dancing all night and all my guests could not stop saying how amazing a night they had. The guys chose the best music that worked so well and were even doing songs that were just released! As well as that the banter and atmosphere was so relaxed and I honestly couldn't have asked for anything else. I could honestly not rate these guys highly enough and trust me, you will definitely not be disappointed!!! You would be silly not to book this band for your event!

 

Justine and Graham Weaver (Lynnhurst Hotel, Johnstone) March 2018

A real band who just so happen to do weddings! Everyone at our wedding including suppliers commented on how good these boys are! Their name says it all, we could not be happier with the performance they put on for us. Many wonderful memories made thanks to them.

 

Rhona and Martin Ferris (The Cruin, Loch Lomond) March 2018

Splendid Gentlemen played at our wedding in March 2018. We weren’t keen on booking a band at first as we didn’t really want to listen to the same sound all night and we struggled to find a band that we could agree on. We saw Splendid Gentlemen at Maggie May’s one night last year and decided to book that night. The variety that they can pull off totally put me at ease - it’s not “same sound” at all. Really nice guys, booking was easy and communication was great throughout. Our dance floor was full all night and we have had so many compliments since - the atmosphere the guys created in the venue was brilliant. I’ve recommended them to anyone who’ll listen and will continue to do so!

 

Vicky and Chris Robinson (G.G.’s Yard, The Borders) February 2018 

Just where do I start! You guys are amazing and totally rocked our wedding! Our guests have been extremely complimentary. Nothing was too much trouble, even when we requested a Father of the Bride & Daughter dance medley you came up trumps! Thank you so much. We would highly recommend.

 

Jeniffer and Gearin Meader (The Cruin, Loch Lomond) March 2018

What can i say.....these guys were absolutely amazing from start to finish at our wedding!! They played our first dance song and we could not of been happier with it!! The dance floor was never empty and all of our guests loved these guys!!! Splendid Gentlemen have that something extra that makes them stand out. We did not want a cheesy wedding band and we certainly were not disappointed. 

Would recommend these guys to everyone....Thank you so much!!!!!!

 

Allan and Lisa Davidson (Crear, Tarbet) March 2018

Splendid Gentlemen played at our wedding at Crear in 10/03/2018. Having been given the responsibility of choosing the band the pressure was on.

I stumbled across Splendid Gentlemen and after hearing them at gig I booked them straight away knowing that a delay could mean us missing out.

In the lead up to the wedding I was in contact with Dee on a couple of occasions, confirming he knew the venue and 1st dance song, his replies were always prompt and nothing seemed like too much trouble.
On the night the guys turned up very prompt, they had a brief chat with my wife and I and then got to work.
After our first dance they just played one cracking song after another, every cover was absolutely spot on.
The guys play music with passion and are complete opposites to many a wedding bands I have seen who are too busy giving it big fake smiles and cheesy dance moves.
Our guests all loved the band and the staff at the venue were also very complimentary.

If you are thinking of booking Splendid Gentlemen then do it. You will have no regrets and can thank me later.

Fantastic musicians and great guys.

Thank you very much.

 

Stephanie and Chris McColl (The Alona Hotel, Motherwell) February 2018

Been trying to find the words to describe just how amazing these guys were last night as they performed at my wedding. From the get go they were professional and just different class. Having a live band I was worried they wouldn't and couldn't play songs for all the different guests that would be attending, how wrong I was!! All my guests haven't stopped taking about how phenomenal you were and I simply cannot thank you guys enough. 

Only negative....is you are all my new wife could talk about before AND after the wedding. It was everything she had hoped for and more.
To anyone out there who are thinking about hiring a band for any event....these are your guys! 100%, no hesitation! They can take your night from great to unforgettable.

Thank you guys so much again. 

And me and the new Mrs McColl wish you's all the best for the future. 

Cheers.

 

William Rodger (Entertainer)

Absolutely outstanding is all I can say, supremely talented band who did the best cover of Acdc I ever heard.

 

Susanna and Craig Ruddy (Airth Castle, Airth) December 2017

Splendid Gentlemen really made our wedding day perfect. Read our crowd really well and kept the dance floor packed the whole night! They rocked on past their scheduled finish time and interacted with the crowd throughout the night, taking requests and playing some less typical songs to keep in line with our theme. I'm pretty sure our first dance choice was a first for them and everyone agreed it was pretty spectacular. We loved the version they played, making it their own! During the evening they took time to speak to us and had a great chat with them at the end of the night. We could tell this is more vocational than anything else for them. Thanks again for a brilliant night guys. Anyone searching for a band for their special day look no further than these amazing guys!

 

Del Cotton (Owner/Founder of Hire a Band, Agency) December 2017

We were lucky enough to be appointed agents for Splendid Gentlemen very early in their career and have had the pleasure of watching them grow to become one of Scotland's most in demand wedding and function bands. They are professional, organised, polite and above all, superb musicians. Hireaband Scotland are still associated with the boys; they are indeed Splendid Gentlemen.

 

Tracey Ann Wishart (Wife of the Birthday Boy) December 2017

Can't thank you enough for making my husbands surprise party a amazing night.

 

Chloe and Martyn Emslie (The Torrance Hotel, Glasgow) November 2017

I got married on 25th november 2017 at the Torrance hotel east kilbride. Me and my wife chose splendid gentlemen as we had been recommended by a friend.

The band were very professional from the moment of enquiry to the actual event. Communication with Dee was brilliant, any questions we had were answered quickly.

We have had nothing but compliments from those who attended our wedding. Everyone was impressed by the variety of songs played. Vocally the band is pretty spot on and the dance floor was not empty the whole night. The band’s repertoire is very impressive and that shows how serious splendid gentlemen take there music. I honestly cannot think of anything I would have changed from the whole experience.
Keep up the good work guys and i will be recommending you to everyone.

Thanks again for topping off a wonderful day.

 

Sandy & Emma Auston (Radstone Hotel, Larkhall) October 2017

The Splendid Gentlemen played our wedding on the 28th October and we can't recommend them enough. The dance floor was full all night and they played some absolutely brilliant songs as well as a few requests! I don't think I've ever heard The Offspring and Queens of the Stone Age played at a wedding.

The guys finished our day off with a bang and we will definitely be seeing them again! Thanks again to Dee, Scott and Craig for making our night unforgettable.

Thanks Again,

 

Ross & Claire Hassard (Carlowrie Castle, West Lothian) November 2017

What can I say that hasn't been said before? These guys live up to their name! They played at our wedding at Carlowrie Castle on Saturday and rocked our socks off the whole night!

Taking requests, throwing in some ceilidh numbers and entertaining all the age groups, these guys can do it all and to top it all off they are genuine decent blokes!

Cheers fellas, we'll catch one of your gigs real soon!!

 

Jackie Loi

A splendidly amazing band. Great guys. Got their autographs

 

Heather and Craig Ridley (Howie’s, Edinburgh) October 2017 

Splendid Gentlemen are an amazing live band! They played at our wedding in October and ensured our day finished in style. They played a range genres and every song was phenomenal. They had everybody up and dancing all night - including my Mam, who never dances! Particular highlights were their versions of Billie Jean, Johnny Be Good, Laid, Wonderwall, and an amazing rendition of Purple Rain! We would recommend them to absolutely anyone and we can't thank them enough for an unforgettable evening.

 

Jenny and Jamie McGrail (Glenskirlie Castle, Bonnybridge) October 2017

Nicola and Ewan Stuart (Banchory Lodge Hotel, Aberdeen) September 2017

We had the most amazing night ever at our wedding with Splendid Gentlemen keeping our dance floor filled from beginning to end.

The guys were fantastic to work with from when I initially booked them until they were packing their can to leave. They were great at responding to emails and letting me know when they required any requests and a first dance song for. They played songs that suited our friends and family and were happy to play suggestions on the night. 

The guys were amazing with my attention seeking guests who love a microphone and even let them sing! 

My friends and family cannot stop talking about how great they were and how much fun they had.

Would recommend them over and over again a fantastically talented and professional band.

 

Lauren and Craig MacFadden (House for an Art Lover, Glasgow) September 2017

The Splendid Gentlemen played our wedding at the start of the week and they were absolutely fantastic! They did an amazing job with our first dance song and had the dance floor full from when they started until the end of the night. Our guests were commenting all night on what a great band they are. They are really nice guys and are very easy to deal with and promptly reply to emails and messages. We would definitely recommend them!!

 

Laura and Chris Murray (Balmoral Hotel, Edinburgh) September 2017

Can't thank the guy's enough for playing at our wedding. Nicest bunch of lad's you could meet! They put on such a fantastic show for us. It really made our evening perfect! Would recommend these guy's 100%!! They listened to everything we asked for and went above and beyond! All of our guests raved about the band and there was something for everyone. Definately a highlight of our day, thanks again guys! 

 

Claire and Darren Murphy (Lochside House Hotel, New Cumnock) August 2017

"Hey guys, just wanted to get in touch to say thank you so much. You played at our wedding on the 31st August at lochside and were amazing.  Dee from our first meeting, to all our chat over email about our first dance song and then on our big day, you put my mind at ease and I had no worries at all about having yous on our night. Yous played our first dance song and from that point on there was no doubt that everyone loved yous. Yous had the dance floor full all night which we can not thank you enough for everyone had an amazing time and everyone was singing your praises the full night and the next day. Our guest loved the way the music flowed from one song into the next. Thank you so much for giving us the best night of our lives. We will definitely be back at Maggie Mays soon to listen to yous. We can not recommend you enough and will sing your praises to anyone who ask. Once again thank you so much for making our wedding night so memorable." 

 

Theresa and John Lynch (Kincaid House, Glasgow) August 2017

So this brilliant band played at my wedding on Saturday and they did not disappoint one bit. I booked Splendid Gentleman without seeing them play live, and they were everything I expected and more! I can't recommend them enough! The guys are total gents and even politely stood and listened to my drunk chat at the end of the night lol. Thanks guys you were amazing!

 

Suzanne & Martin Aitken (Norton House Hotel, Edinburgh) July 2017

These guys played at our wedding and were fantastic. The dance floor was never empty. Everyone raved about how amazing they were. 

They did an acoustic set as per my husband's request and played a whole range of genres and decades to suit everyone. For my dance with my dad, they spliced two songs together perfectly. They played a requested song from a guest on the night with no problems whatsoever. The guys even got on board with our (surprise) Lip Sync Battle for our guests. For the DJ set it was more Nirvana, Limp Biskit which everyone loved. Great communication from the moment we booked and they chatted away to our guests during the break and at the end of the night. We would highly recommend them.

 

Colin and Tori Reid (Lodge on Loch Lomond, Luss) July 2017

“Splendid Gentlemen played our wedding on 6th July 2017 and no review we could do could truly explain how amazing they were. Prior to the big day, the communication with Dee was fantastic. As we live in Australia, we didn't get the chance to see the guys live and based our decision on the videos on YouTube - although we were never worried about that. From the first dance to the very end the dance floor was full.We also had a few ceilidh dances which the lads were able to explain very well - especially considering it was the first time for half of our guests. During the break the boys were really friendly and happily chatted to everyone. All of our guests gave us glowing compliments about the band and we wouldn't hesitate in recommending them to anyone else looking for a wedding band!I wish we could afford to fly them over to play at our Australian celebration in a couple of months!”

 

Nicola and Michael Ewen (Ugie House Hotel, Keith) July 2017

“The guys played our wedding on the 1st July and we couldn't of dreamed of a better band! They were absolutely fantastic, the loveliest group of guys ever and nothing was a problem for them. They played our first dance which they learned amazingly and took requests from our guests with no problems at all, even playing a bit of a song the didn't actually know! I cannot recommend these guys enough. We have had so many of our guests asking who they were cause they were so good! Thank you so much for finishing off our day so well, the dance floor was never empty and my husband and I certainly enjoyed ourselves along with all our guests! 5 stars is not enough for you guys!”

 

Darra and Sarah Gill (The Glasshouse, Edinburgh) June 2017

“The Splendid Gentlemen played at our wedding in Edinburgh last month. For our wedding we wanted current music that would keep the dance floor filled. The lads didn't disappoint and were absolutely fantastic. Many of our guests still comment on how good the music was and ask where we found the band. My uncle owns a bar in Dublin and is talking about bringing the Splendid Gentlemen over to Ireland for a gig!! I have never seen a crowd so disappointed when a band stopped playing! Thank you Splendid Gentlemen for making our night so special and enjoyable! You were awesome!”

 

Dana and David Hill (Busby Hotel, Clarkston) July 2017

“Splendid gentlemen played at our wedding on 7th July 2017 and I danced the whole night! You are all so talented and every single person commented on how amazing you were. You were so down to earth which made everything so relaxed. Thank you for making our wedding reception so magical! Our first dance 'Friday I'm in love' was absolutely amazing. I will remember that moment for the rest of my life!”

 

Dana and David Hill (Busby Hotel, Clarkston) July 2017

“The band played at our wedding and couldn't have asked for better.

Dr. Gary Reid Hughes and Dr. David Reid (Royal College of Physiciand and Surgeons of Glasgow) June 2017

“The guys played at our wedding on the 24th of June. I have nothing but praise and thanks for the band who were fantastic from start to finish. There wasn't a moment of the night where there was space on the dance floor and so many of our friends and family commented how "splendid" they were!! 

The choice of music was a triumph from modern to old-faves and it suited everyones tastes. 

Our first dance was "Ho Hey" and they did such a great version it was one of the best moments of the whole day for both of us! 

Thank you so much to Dee and all the guys!!”

 

Catriona Mc Entee (Wedding Guest) June 2017

“Not only did you rock the dance floor at my sisters wedding in The Glasshouse on 9th June, you also gave my lil dude a drum lesson! You made his night, he's whacking the drum sticks off every surface at home! Fantastic night, you truly are gentlemen! Next time, you come to Ireland!

 

Craig and Gemma Bryson (Brig ‘O’ Doon) June 2017

Beth and Callum Simpson (Portavadie Marina, Loch Fyne) June 2017

“We hired Splendid Gentlemen for our wedding on Friday and they were absolutely incredible! The energy, passion and amazing playlist kept everyone on the dance floor all night and we couldn't be happier! Thank you so much!”

Graeme and Cheryl Crawford (Seamill Hydro, Seamill)  April 2017

“Splendid Gentleman rocked our wedding in April this year at the Seamill Hydro. We couldn't have asked for a better band to guide us through the night.

Dee made the whole booking process so easy and even changed the date and venue with no bother. Communication leading to the big day was great and very helpful, advising on song choice etc.

We asked them to learn a Powderfinger song which they pulled off without a hitch, the Aussie contingent were well impressed!

I had asked Dee for a rocking night and these gentlemen certainly obliged. The floor was full all evening, more so with the rock songs opposed to the classic wedding songs, so much so that the second half of the night was just rock hit after hit. They even played Pearl Jam - Even Flow twice just for me as I missed it the first time around.

Everyone was saying how great these guys were, one of my mates saying, "If there was ever going to be a mosh pit at a wedding, it'd be yours!".

Thank you gents for a fantastic night and friendly banter. You truly are Splendid Gentlemen.”

 

Kevin and Nicola Murray (Dalmeny Park Country House Hotel, Barrhead) May 2017

Everyone who came to the wedding have and I am sure will continue to compliment us on our choice. Thank you guys  love Jenni and Dale”

 

Therese and Craig Allan (Colzium House, Kilsyth) July 2016 

“We had the Splendid Gentlemen playing at our wedding in July 2016.

Thank you millions for making our wedding day perfect guys!  Xx”

Brendan and Kareen McDonald (Balbirnie House Hotel, Glenrothes) April 2017

“The Splendid Gentlemen played a great set at our wedding on the 12th of April. They arrived on time, with a quick and professional set-up. The band is genuinely interested in providing entertainment and this came across in abundance, they’re fantastic musicians and lovely guys, too, keeping in touch with them was very easy. They played the songs we requested with aplomb with lots of people commenting on how good they were (dance floor was never empty!). We were really touched that they made the effort to say goodbye before their drive home and also saying they had enjoyed themselves. Dudes, we thank you.”

 

Tom and Kirsten Buck (Logie Country House, Aberdeenshire) April 2017

“Splendid Gentlemen played at our wedding a week ago today, at Logie Country House in Aberdeenshire. Our day was incredible, and Splendid Gentlemen were the perfect band to get our guests dancing and celebrating all night long.

After booking the band, Dee was really helpful in both confirming information and advising on first dance choices. On the night, all three guys were extremely personable, professional and not to mention talented. Thanks for being part of our wedding!” 

 

Mark and Louise Elizabeth Scoular (Lochgreen House Hotel, Troon) March 2017

“Splendid gentlemen played at our wedding on 11/03/17. These guys deserve 10 stars - absolutely brilliant. The three nicest guys, very talented musicians and great singers. It was tune after tune and the dance floor was full all night. All our guests commented on how great the lads were. We ended the best day of our lives on a massive high because of these guys and we can't thank them enough. They were the first and only band we looked at before booking because they ticked all the boxes and so much more. Dee was really great at keeping in touch and such a fantastic help with all the little details. Thank you Splendid Gentlemen! Absolute legends!!”

 

Joe and Jennifer Callaghan (Airth Castle, Airth) March 2017

“Amazing band. Myself and my wife booked them for our own wedding and the Dancefloor was packed all night. Also found Dee to be incredibly and responsive, nothing was too much to ask of him. Everyone commented on the band the night of the wedding, so much so two different guests asked for their contact details afterwards for their own weddings.”

 

Callum and Melissa Adam (Marycutler House Hotel, Aberdeenshire) February 2017

“Splendid Gentlemen played at our wedding last month, to say they were amazing is an understatement! I am so glad we chose these guys and would recommend them to anyone and everyone looking for a brilliant band. Everything that I asked for was granted and they went above and beyond to not only make sure myself and my husband were happy on the night but also all our guests who were complimenting the band the whole night :) they were very polite and friendly and absolutely amazing singers and musicians. Can not say enough great things about Splendid Gentlemen!! Thank you so much guys for making our day even more special ”

 

Scott and Megan Drummond (The Waterside, West Kilbride) March 2017

“Splendid Gentlemen played at our wedding last week & they were everything that we wanted and more! When we got engaged we knew that we wanted them to play at the wedding after seeing them play live a few times & luckily we managed to secure them! All of the chat leading up to the big day was brilliant - nothing was a problem at all. Our first dance song was perfect & my wee request for Brown Eyed Girl for the father daughter dance was granted without a problem either. The dance floor was never empty & the amazing mix of songs/genres was outstanding. We loved every second of your guys set & hope to see you again soon! Thanks so much!”

 

Wayne and Tasha O’Hare (Double Tree by Hilton, Dundee) August 2014

“Splendid Gentlemen played our wedding on 09.08.14 - reading through their other reviews I can relate to every single one. The guys are absolutely fantastic, so down to earth and very accommodating. They made that much of an impression that people still ask us who our wedding band were 2.5 years later! What really made our day was them allowing my Father-in-Law to sing our first dance, a request they had every right to refuse but were so on board with it they sat back and watched him, then congratulated him on his performance!”

 

Pat Wishart (Wedding guest) February 2017

“My granddaughter and her husband had the band play at her wedding on 4th Feb at Drumtochty Castle. They were AMAZING!!! Everyone raved about them and they played a great mix of music,something for everyone. If you book these guys you will not be disappointed.”

Great down to earth guys as well. Couldn't recommend them enough. Thanks again for a great night.”

 

Andrew and Claire Graham (Ingleston Cuntry Club, Ingliston) December 2016

They also learnt our first dance and it was amazing - exactly what we wanted. Thanks so much guys.”

 

Ann Kerr (Mother of the Bride) November 2016

“Excellent. 

Very professional guys and great music (& banter).

We had a great evening celebrating the marriage of our oldest daughter Lauren to one of the nicest/coolest guys you could wish for a son in law -Daniel.

The guys played a fantastic set including Thin Lizzy, Led Zep and Metallic. Sadly no Scissor Sisters though :-) Filthy/Gorgeous would be great rocked up!

Highly recommended for a fantastic time. My legs were aching the next day from dancing all night and I was the sober one!
Thank you again guys x”

“Me & my husband Scott booked Splendid Gentlemen for our wedding on 5.10.16 and these guys deserve more than 5 stars! 

Not biased because we are old friends from school - I had been following them on social media for a while and got back in touch after years and was send a very professional promo video to get a taster as to what they are like. We booked them straight away! On the night they were just fab! EVERYONE, and I mean everyone was up dancing - grannies, mums, pals, kids, me! Everyone was asking me who and where I found them. They chatted with my guests, and even took a back seat when my husbands grampa got up to belt out 'My Way' haha! Not only was it great to see old pals, they were just on point with reading the crowd and playing the perfect mixture of music. Always communicating in yhe build up to the day as well, asking if any specific requests etc - nothing was a problem. Highly recommend and make sure you get in early and book them! There is a reason they are so busy...

Thank you again guys for everything!”

Ross and Patricia Crombie (Auchen Castle, Moffat) October 2016

“This is band played at our wedding on 24/10 and they were phenomenal! They played the type of music we wanted (70s 80s vibe) and even played some ceilidh for us! They walked us through all the steps even though we were terrible at dancing to ceilidh they made it fun . We had such an amazing night . Thank you for not being a cheesie wedding band and making our wedding reception we won't ever forget !”

 

Darren and Julie Ingram (Meldrum House, Aberdeenshire) October 2016

“After hearing Splendid Gentlemen play a couple of times at our local bar in Aberdeen we were delighted to book them for our wedding on 8th October 2016 at Meldrum Country House. The guys were brilliant and it was great that they were part of our special day. Many of our guests young and old were commenting on how good they were. The guys played a varied mix of tunes which had the dance floor full all night. Julie even had the Gents playing some Metallica and ACDC during the night much to her delight. The 3 lads really are Splendid Gentlemen and we can't wait to hear them again. Thank you.” 

 

Kirsty Dall (Dumbuck Hotel, Glasgow) October 2016

Andrew and Gillian Dickson (Fenwick Hotel, Kilmarnock) September 2016

“We had Splendid Gentlemen play at our wedding on the 9th of September. I can honestly say they are by far the best band out there. The guys were relaxed, a lot of fun and played the type of music we wanted. For us the best comment from one of the guests, "I feel like I'm at a gig and don't want to sit down". What a response 

We asked the band to play a Bob Marley song and the guys performed a brilliant rendition of the song perfectly. My husband sang a song with the band which was really special and was then upstaged by our 6 year old son. The band were amazing at going at the pace of our son and it was a moment, I'll never forget. 

Our guests all said how amazing and different you guys were. 

Guys, keep doing what you're doing. A life without good music is not worth living. ❤️ 

Much love from the Dicksons"

 

Grant and Rachel Adam (The Mansfield Hotel, Elgin) September 2016

“Myself and my husband booked splendid gentlemen through coast agency and we were not disappointed!! 

Having listened and sang along to their music on YouTube we were excited to have them at our wedding in Elgin on 17/09/16. 

They learnt our first song (a Celine dion track) and sang it fantastically!! It was great having their own sound to it also. 

Very quickly everyone was up dancing and we had hard core ACDC fans telling us that they loved the bands cover and who were they! Compliments were flying around the whole night and every song was catchy and well sung! This band is extremely talented and I would recommend them to anyone and everyone! thank you so much guys!”

 

Martin McLaughlin (Fellow musician) September 2016

“These guys are fun friendly and super talented. In fact they are just splendid. Don't hesitate to book them for your wedding or event. 5 thumbs up.”

Steven & Kayleigh Bannachan (Auchen Castle, Moffat) August 2016

“We had the pleasure of having the Splendid Gentlemen play at our wedding at Auchen Castle.

Although we had a relatively small crowd of 50, the Splendid Gentleman made it feel like 500 and totally ran the show all night. The dance floor was packed the entire evening and everyone was loving the music, grannies and kids included. By the looks of some of the moves, there were people up on the dance floor that had never danced before.

Almost all of our guests have since commented on how excellent the band were and we’re all in agreement that the only disappointment was that we didn’t have more time!

Aside from being great musicians these guys were super nice, easy to talk to and made us feel at ease throughout the booking process and at the wedding. It was like having another 3 friends joining in.

If you’re thinking of booking the Splendid Gentlemen, you won’t regret it. Get them booked now before someone else gets in there first. We’re already trying to think of an excuse to book these guys again.

Thanks again for helping us take things up a notch and contributing to an amazing night!”

 

Jacqueline Steven and Dave Millard (Venachar Lochside, Callander) September 2016

“Splendid gentlemen played at our wedding on the 1st September 2016. They were AMAZING! Everyone who was there has said how good they were and not your typical wedding band, they make everything so effortless cool and take away all the cheese with still playing your wedding must haves! They learnt our first dance song and played it soo beautifully that everyone listened to every word and understood why we chose that song. I would not hesitate in recommending these guys and will have to plan a big party again soon just to have them play! 

Thank you for being a part of our day xx”

 

Melanie and Brian McConnell (Sherbrooke Castle, Glasgow) July 2017

“Brian and myself just wanted to say a huge thank you to yourself and the band for last night, we had a fabulous time. The music was fantastic and so many guests commented on your performance! The words the best wedding band I've ever heard were used by my friend who is a huge live music fan and a frequent wedding attendee lol Your version of can't help falling in love was beautiful and to be able to jive with my dad to Sweet Caroline was the icing on the cake!!” 

 

Nicola and Martin Hillhouse (Lodge on the Loch, Loch Lomond) June 2017

“We just wanted to mail to thank you's again for playing at our wedding on 29.06. You's where outstanding. I'm still getting folk commenting on how amazing you's where. The version of I will wait that you done was just perfect kinda feels like our own song now. You'll deffo have to let us know when you's are in the Clippens playing so some of us can come along. Thank you again could fault you's in the slightest and would highly recommend to anyone.”

 

George and Andrea Burt (Piersland House Hotel, Troon) May 2016

“Thank you very much for being our wedding band on Sunday 21st May at the Piersland House Hotel. Scott, Craig and yourself were fantastic and we loved your rendition of Shinedown's 'I'll Follow You' for our first dance. You kept the dance floor going from Shinedown to The Proclaimers at the end. One of Andrea's friends was there who has you guys playing at her wedding in September - she wasn't disappointed! 

Once again, thank you very much - we'll be sure to recommend your services to friends and family.”

 

Lindsay and Rory Brand (Meldrum House, Aberdeenshire) October 2016

“Splendid Gentleman played at our wedding in Aberdeen in October. These guys were amazing! The dance floor was never empty and so many guests commented on how good they were. 

Dee was great to deal with in the run up to the wedding, we found him to be quick to respond to emails, helpful, friendly and organised – nothing was too much trouble for him. 

On the day the band were professional, well dressed and most importantly lovely people who took time to speak to both my husband and I during the night. The guys were genuine and I loved the fact they took an interest in us, asking why we had picked our first dance and what some of our favourite songs were. 

We quickly realised all 3 members of the band are very talented musicians, as we asked the band to take quite an up-beat song and slow it down for our first dance. I had no idea what to expect, but I can honestly say we were blown away with the arrangement they came up with. The great thing about Splendid Gentlemen was they were so good at judging their audience - it felt like I was saying “I love this song” every time a song started! We also had a couple of ceilidh dances throughout the evening and again, this is something that worked really well.

Splendid Gentleman made our wedding, and looking back at photos it is obvious all our guests had a brilliant time!” 

 

Louise & Paul Simpson (Canadian Hall, Haddo, Aberdeenshire) November 2014

“So just wanted to say from us both, thanks so much for being our band at our wedding in November 2014, such a professional band from the start when we first got in contact and to finish at the end of the night, everyone was gutted when you finished!   We absolutely thought you guys nailed our first dance and so glad you learned this as it’s not a song you hear at weddings.  All our guests commented on how brilliant you were and how there was always people on the dance floor.  Was great to come along and see you guys playing at Mains of Scotstown and Newburgh after the wedding, great live band!

Couldn't highly recommend you guys enough and couldn’t have wished for a better band for our wedding.

Thanks again”

 

Joanne and Daryl McIntosh (Dalmahoy Marriot Hotel, Edinburgh) August 2016

“Our amazing wedding day continued into the evening thanks to Splendid Gentlemen. Every one of our guests commented on how good the band were. Fantastic musicians and absolute stellar guys anyone reading this who are looking for a wedding band should look no further and book them just now. An absolute pleasure to deal with from the start right through until they packed their van to head home. Again a big thank you from us and especially for performing 'the secret song’." 

 

Jenna and David Baillie (Westerwood Hotel, Cumbernauld) September 2016

“You guys truly are splendid, best wedding band we've heard by a mile. You are do talented and the dancefloor was full all night. Lots of guests commented on how good you were and also how good you guys looked - totally unique style! Thanks again for making our reception perfect.” 

 

Jennifer and Callan Cormack (The Mansfield Hotel, Elgin) August 2016

“Thank you so much!our guests loved you as did we.you played our first dance brilliantly, dance floor never empty.would recommend this band to anyone. Really friendly and took requests!amazing band. Thanks again.”

 

Fiona and Graeme Watson (Barra Castle, Old Meldrum) August 2016

“We originally found and booked the gentlemen on the strength of the videos on their website and their repertoire. They did not disappoint at all.

Dee (the front man) was really nice and was genuinely excited about learning and playing our first song and also playing some sound garden for us, which I believe was a first at a wedding for them.

The guys turned up and got set up on the day quickly and discreetly. They were all really friendly, funny and frankly I'd easy have a pint and a laugh with any of them. then we get to the best bit, they are all really damn good musicians!

Ok it was my wedding and I'm bias, but they really are the best band I've ever seen/heard play at a wedding. They may not be a 'traditional wedding band' that's a very good thing! they still took some requests, let me tell you they can smash a Beyoncé song as well as grunging it up and getting down and rocky.

We loved them and all our guests loved them, we could not have asked for anything more in a wedding band.

Splendid service, splendid music and truly Splendid Gentlemen!”

 

Debbie and James Hooper (Fernie Castle, Fife) July 2016

“We had Splendid Gentleman play at our wedding on 30th July and were extremely happy with them. From the first time I contacted Dee he was helpful, friendly and responded very quickly to any emails. We chose this band from videos we had seen online as were not able to see them live beforehand - they did not disappoint on the night. They have a huge range of songs to choose from, they managed to fit in all of our requests as well as requests from people on the night. They were professional, polite and most of all the music was amazing. We had many comments from our guests telling us how much they loved the band. I would definitely recommend Splendid Gentleman to anyone looking to book a great wedding band.”

 

Laura and Wilson Raphel (The Eglinton Arms Hotel, Eaglesham) August 2016

“My wife Laura were married on Sunday 7th August in Eaglesham and we were extremely pleased with the entire splendid gentlemen experience. From excellent two way communication on the run up to our special day, their extensive repertoire of outstanding musical taste, their ability to become flexible and learn a new one if needs be, right through to ease of payment and of course making certain that all of our guests had a fabulous time. Which they clearly did as the dance floor became utter mayhem after the first dance which is exactly how we like it. All of our guests have since commented how great the splendid gents were and I have to fully and take credit or finding these guys in a sea of wedding bands. I couldn't reccomend them enough, truly!”

 

Susannah and Joseph Moffat (Glencairn, Glasgow) August 2016

“Wow how amazing are you guys u made our wedding a night to remember you had everyone up dancing all night! Few people didn't seem too keen on the wedding band idea from some seen in the past but you guys definitely changed that! So professional and such lovely guys. The variety of songs where amazing from start to finish played all song requested by guests everyone was really impressed with you I'll defo be seeing you at another wedding/party I'm sure and will be looking forward to it. Everyone wants your details. Thank you so much again you made our night. X

absolutely brilliant from start to finish. full of energy, super talented and genuine great guys. every single guest at our wedding has mentioned the band!!!!

absolutely brilliant thank you guys we will never forget our big day!!!”

 

Catherine Bruce Shields, (Guest at Glencairn Wedding) August 2016

Was at a wedding in the Glencairn club tonight where you were playing.

Would definitely recommend this band as their music and vocals were amazing, great band.”

 

Kate and Bob Clark (The George Hotel, Edinburgh) July 2016

“Splendid Gentlemen played at our Wedding last month 23rd July at The George Hotel in Edinburgh.

During the build up to the Wedding Dee was always happy to help and discuss any questions and queries which made the pre Wedding process simple and enjoyable. The Gents arrived in plenty of time (early even) and were set up and looking good with time to spare!

Although we wanted to play an original recording for our first dance the guys took no offence and were still more than happy to learn a song we wished to have as our second dance which wasn't within their existing repertoire! (Excellently delivered) They also did all the introductions for the first dance regardless of the recording and played it through their own system to get the best sound quality!

The bands repertoire is extremely impressive and equally so is the way that they deliver each song! The performance from all three of the Gents is professional and quality! They seemed to be enjoying playing each and every song as much as our guests for who they were playing too! The dance floor was full all night and full of energy!

All in all we couldn't have been happier that Splendid Gentlemen were with us to celebrate our big day! It was like having 3 additional friends rather than a band we hired to do a job. The Gents mingled with the guests during the break took requests and dedicated songs as and where we asked for!

Top guys - Top Performance, couldn't recommend Splendid Gentlemen enough!”

 

Zoe and John Bicocchi (Hotel Colessio, Stirling) July 2016

“Splendid Gentlemen played at our wedding on 15th July! They were great! Really chilled out and professional and played a good mix of music to keep everyone happy! Would definitely recommend them! Thank you! X”

 

Therese and Craig Allan (Colzium House, Kilsyth) July 2016

“Splendid Gentlemen played our wedding recently, and we couldn't have been happier with their performance. From the moment we booked them, they were approachable and prompt with their responses to any queries, and on the day turned up in plenty of time to get everything set up. In what wouldn't have been an easy venue for sound, they got everything perfect. They were very professional but also looked like they were enjoying themselves as well, which you don't always get with wedding bands. They have a great and varied set list - and even threw in a short ceilidh section at a moments notice after a request from one of the guests. Ours was a fairly small wedding so it was a worry beforehand that the dance floor might appear empty at times, but they had everyone up dancing all night. From the youngest guests to my old grandparents, everyone had a great night and having been praising the band since. Would definitely recommend Splendid Gentlemen to anyone looking for a wedding band.”

 

Selina and Jed Van Hagen (Broxmouth Park, Dunbar) June 2016

“Splendid gentlemen men played at our wedding in June and kept the party alive all night. Dee was very organised in the run up to the wedding answering my many questions quickly and patiently. On the night they were on time and friendly to everyone. They played a great mix of songs and we're happy to take any requests we had. Thanks again guys!”

 

Emma and Scott Rollo (Seamill Hydro, Seamill) June 2016

“We were lucky enough to have Splendid Gentlemen play at our wedding on 11th June 2016 at Seamill Hydro. 

My husband and I went to see the guys play in a showcase and instantly booked them. So glad we did!!!

Dee, Craig and Scott are lovely, friendly guys and brilliant musicians!

They learned our first dance 'Al Green- Lets stay together' and it was perfect. Dee has an amazing voice and he sang our first song so well. 

Our guests are still commenting on how good the band were. 

They managed some requests on the night too which was great and had even learned a Wet Wet Wet song for me as my husband had told them I was a fan! ????

They played such a variety of songs to suit all age groups and the dance floor was full all night. 

Can't recommend Splendid Gentlemen enough. We had such a great night. 

Thanks again, hope to come and see you guys play again soon. x x x”

 

Amy and Mark McGuigan (Lochside House Hotel, Ayrshire) July 2016

“The boys were first class, would recommend them to anyone!!

We had a perfect night of entertainment thanks to the lads and can't thank them enough! Easily a 5 * performance.”

 

Kelly and Chris Paterson (Maryculter House Hotel, Aberdeen) June 2016

“The Splendid Gentlemen were absolutely brilliant at our wedding on Friday! They played all of the songs we asked of them and we're happy to take requests. All of our guests were up dancing the whole night and it was just perfect so may compliments and people are still saying to us how much they were loved!”

 

Tracy and Peter Lewin (Private Residence, Biggar) June 2016

“Splendid Gentlemen played at our wedding on 18 June 2016. I've got to start by giving full props to Dee for dealing with all of my pre-wedding emails - I was asking questions about how much space the band would need, electricity requirements, lighting, PA equipment etc - and throughout all of this, Dee got back to me quickly and with all of the information I needed - honestly, during all of the wedding preparation madness, this was absolutely invaluable - cheers Dee!

When it came to the actual day, the guys turned up on time and got set up quickly and quietly while we were all having dinner - they were always super considerate of the rest of our guests and accommodating re fitting around everything else in the marquee. Our first dance was a cracking rendition of an old classic that got everyone on the dance floor and set the pace for the evening. It was fantastic to get a setlist mixing in songs from the 1960s, Blink 182, Electric 6 and even a bit of ceilidh! Seriously, don't try to control the whole evening's set list for these guys - pick some faves and leave the rest to them - they know how to gauge the room and even took requests! The dance floor was full throughout the entire evening which alone should be testament to how rocking these guys were! =)

All 3 of the guys were super friendly and stuck around chatting with us after the rest of the guests had gone home. They're all really down to earth, friendly and have some great stories! =)

TL:DR - Amazing musicians; friendly and professional; accommodating; stress-free and 100% worth every single penny.

Cheers, Splendid Gentlemen”

 

Kerry and Kris Adams (Atholl Palace Hotel, Pitlochry) May 2016

“Splendid Gentlemen are exactly that - 3 lovely guys who are very talented! They played a fantastic set at our wedding and were exactly what we'd hoped for in a wedding band. They played all our requests and our guests are still raving about them! Would highly recommend and would definitely book them for another event or party in the future. Thank you guys - you made our night!”

 

Michaela and Sean Loughlin (Melville Castle, Edinburgh) May 2016

“Splendid gentlemen are and amazing wedding band! They played at my wedding 21st May 2016 and I honestly couldn't fault them, they sounded amazing and created a great atmosphere, had everyone up dancing. Lovely guys who clearly take pride in their performance. Friendly and professional, I would highly recommend. Thanks for making our wedding reception so great.”

 

Lesley and Jason Campbell (Best Western Park Hotel, Falkirk) June 2016

“Me and my husband had booked splendid gentleman for our wedding reception. The guys are so down to earth n really nice guys. They were absolutely amazing such a good band they play a mixture of different music all my guests had a good night and thought the exact same about the band. If you are looking for a band a would definitely recommend them.”

 

Louise and Allan Williamson (Tillmouth Park Country House Hotel, Cornhill On Tweed) June 2016

“We booked Splendid Gentleman for our wedding on 2nd June. Dee maintained contact with us from the outset. We had chosen a new track for our first dance which the band were happy to learn beforehand. All three guys are friendly, polite and professional, they are real musicians who clearly enjoy what they do. The music sounded great and they catered for all ages, everyone was up dancing until midnight.  Look no further, these guys rock!”

 

Lesley and Jason Campbell (Best Western Park Hotel, Falkirk) June 2016 

“Me and my husband had booked splendid gentleman for our wedding reception. The guys are so down to earth n really nice guys. They were absolutely amazing such a good band they play a mixture of different music all my guests had a good night and thought the exact same about the band. If you are looking for a band a would definitely recommend them.” 

 

Sophie and Patrick Lambert (South Lissens Pottery Marquee, Buckie) May 2016

“Delighted that Splendid Gentlemen made the long (looong) trip north to our wedding last weekend! The guys were brilliant at staying in touch and had the whole crowd up and dancing all night long. Professional and plenty of fun, I would definitely recommend them for any event!” 

 

Alyson and Charles Edward Brooker (Forbes of Kingennie, Dundee) May 2016

“Splendid Gentleman are the perfect wedding band! Dee is a hilarious yet professional manager and frontman, as well as an incredibly talented musician, as are all the boys. Their repertoire is just that little bit different to your traditional wedding band, making them perfect for real music lovers. My groom and I were convinced we didn't want a band at our wedding, as I was determined to avoid 500 Miles and Charles was going to walk out if New York, New York was played, but Dee jumped at the chance to play all the pop punk tunes we grew up with - in fact there's a great video doing the rounds of the groom going mental to Blink 182. Still, they mixed in the right amount of wedding favourites to appeal to the older generations, it was the perfect balance, and they were happy for us to put an embargo on a couple of personal disliked tracks.

Not only that, but they completely rearranged our favourite song to make it first dance worthy, even adding a little guitar solo so it could compete with the original. Astounded. Our guests are still not done complementing us on our choice of band, saying they all had a great time, and a number of them left with flyers. We're determined to make a trip to see the guys at Whistlebinkies before too long.

Thank you so much!” 

 

Sydney and Stewart Ritchie (Oran Mor, Glasgow) May 2016

“What a great group of guys, thank you so much for playing at our wedding reception last Saturday! My husband and I thought you were fantastic as did our guests, we all had a blast and you handled requests brilliantly.

PS- you totally rocked Fat Lip.” 

 

Lucy and Peter McLeod (Mains of Teymouth, Kenmore) April 2016

“We had Splendid Gentlemen at our wedding in April 2016 and we could not have had a better band! They sound amazing and were so interactive with the crowd, everyone danced (and sang) the night away. For a small wedding we were worried the dance floor would be empty but with constant great songs no one sat down!”

 

Zoe and Nicky Lister (Drumossie Hotel, Inverness) April 2016

“The band was fantastic. They was preforming at are wedding on the 29th April. The selection of music they played kept everyone up on the dance floor. And even the following day people from wedding was asking about this band.hopefully they play up in inverness soon so we can go watch this band again. Thank you so much for making are day even more special than what it was.” 

 

Kerr and Sherry Brown (Runningburn Farm Marquee, Kelso) April 2016

“Splendid Gentlemen played at our wedding on Saturday 23rd April. They were absolutely fantastic from start to finish,so good that people are still talking about them days later. They made a two hour journey to be with us and arrived in plenty of time to get set up and ready to go. They played our first dance song perfectly and continued to impress us throughout the evening. They are a lovely group of guys who chatted away to us after they had finished and didn't feel like they just wanted to rush away. If you are looking for a band that won't disappoint then look no further than Splendid Gentlemen. Thanks guys.”

 

Lisa Simpson (Work Training Day) December 2015

“Guys, thanks for playing at my work away day – it was an awesome set.  There was something for everyone which kept the dance floor full all night and it was great to see everyone having so much fun! Everybody has been raving about you since.  I'll definitely recommend you to anyone looking for a band and will be sure to give you a call myself should I be arranging any other events.”

 

Diane and Gordon McMahon (Cornhill House Hotel, Biggar) March 2016

“Look no further , YOU WANT THIS BAND - I had the guys for my wedding on 27th March, they were spectacular! The band was full of energy, talented and friendly, the entertainment was top notch. The mix of music catered to everyone's tastes and my family and friends commented on how great they were, asking their name and saying how much they enjoyed the amazing entertainment. I could not have chosen a better band for my wedding and I am so happy with their performance. The guys played really well, chatted to the audience and were clearly enjoying their 'job' as they played. A must have addition to your wedding, I am 100% happy and would definitely recommend.”

 

Sarah and Adam McDonald (Moorpark House Hotel, North Ayrshire) February 2016

Carol Reilly (Charity Ball, Fraserburgh) March 2016

“I could not recommend this band highly enough. They played at our "Forever 50 Ball" in aid of cancer research last night. Every song they played was amazing! the dance floor was always full.

Thanks guys - wish you all the very best.”

 

 Paula and Martin Brown (SWG3, Glasgow) October 2015

My husband and I have very different music taste but they accommodated us both perfectly and they even allowed our friend from The Temperance Movement to sign which was really special for us. Thanks guys for being such a huge part of our special day.”

 

Mikey and Lynsey McLean (Cottiers Theatre, Glasgow) October 2015

“Hey Dee,

Gents, it was a pleasure having you at our Gala Dance....not 1 person has said anything remotely negative about you guys..quotes like "best band I've heard" and "what a brilliant band" were resounding in our ears that night...there were a few more but they had sweary words in an posh lads like yourselves dont need to hear all that!

If you need to use this as feed back on websites or if you have a rating form to fill in then I'd be happy to 5 star it no problem!

Thanks , not just from the Trust Committee but the village of St Combs, you lads brought the curtain down brilliantly on what was an already great Gala Afternoon.”

Alistair and Jenifer Lawrie (Grand Central Hotel, Glasgow) February 2014

“Booked Splendid Gentlemen for my wedding (Feb 2014). I went to see the band in a pub and right away I could tell these lads could play their instruments. No backing tracks, they are a 3 piece but by far and away one the best bands that I'd looked at for my wedding. I booked them more or less on the spot (without the mrs seeign them)

The band turned up very promptly on the day and were really quick to get set up. They happily learned our first dance number (which was more of a leftfield request) and I was super impressed at how tight a band they were (given they only practiced the week before). Dee has a great voice, the drummer was a class act and its rare in this day and age to find a bassist that plays proper bass (muse- hysteria should be played at all weddings as standard!).

I saw a few bands in the run up, Splendid Gentlemen were easiliy the freshest band I saw, they had good energy and looked to be enjoying themselves (a lot of other wedding bands just looked stale from doing the same set for x years)- these guys are relatively new on the scene and looked hungry and eager to put on a good set and please the audience

They played a great set (they were happy for me pick songs on their setlist), which they tailored to the audience and the dancefloor was full all night. We had an issue with the dress just before the first dance- they were happy to play some hendrix-redhouse until the dress issue was resolved. 

I really couldnt fault the lads at all. Easily the bargain of the century.

Great band, great performance, great communication in the run up and really friendly guys and loads of guests (most of whom play instruments) said they were one of, if not the best wedding band they had ever seen

Thanks guys made the night”

 

Chris and Alison Herriot (Ingliston Country Club, Bishopton) February 2014

"We recently booked Splendid Gentlemen to play at our wedding at Ingliston Country Club, Bishopton. We couldn't be more pleased with how much they appealed to both us and our guests. Their fantastic set list had everyone up dancing all night. So many guests passed comment on how good they were. They are really nice guys, very approachable but more so, very talented musicians. We would definitely recommend them!" 

 

Jillian Moon and Gareth Steven (Loch Green, Troon) September 2013
