“We wanted to share our experience with Light Years, and in particular Thom, following our wedding at No42 By GuestHouse. We hired the band for the whole day - ceremony, reception drinks, and three 40 minute sets in the evening, as well as DJ’ing in between the live performances…. they were just incredible from start to finish. For the ceremony, two of the artists performed (keys, bass, and vocals), creating a beautiful and intimate atmosphere. They were incredibly flexible, splitting their hour (live lounge set) into two 30 minute sets - one for the ceremony and the other for the rooftop reception drinks. Later in the evening, the full band joined, and the energy they brought completely transformed the space into exactly the kind of party we had hoped for. Thom and the band went above and beyond by learning two songs for us, our aisle walk and first dance. One of which was complimentary. They also adapted their set seamlessly to match the vibe in the room, keeping the energy exactly where it needed to be throughout the night. Thom himself was outstanding. He was at the venue from midday through to 1AM, and his enthusiasm never dropped once. His energy, professionalism, and passion were evident all day and night, and it made a huge difference to the overall atmosphere. One of the standout moments was how Thom and the band worked with the singing waiters we had also hired. We chose to incorporate them into our first dance, and the execution was perfect. As the moment unfolded, one of the waiters “fell” towards the end of the dance, and Thom cut the music at exactly the right time for dramatic effect whilst saying ‘are you alright mate’, completely selling the moment before the performance kicked off. It was flawless and created such a memorable surprise for us and our guests. We always believed that music makes a wedding, and Light Years proved that completely. We woke up the next morning with zero regrets, both agreeing it truly was one of the best days of our lives and the band played a huge part in that. The number of guests who commented on how amazing they were says everything. We would 100% recommend booking Light Years for any wedding or event. They absolutely made the day and we’ll be booking them again for our 10 year anniversary party.”
Jack & Zowie - Wedding, No42 by GuestHouse, Margate, Kent
“It was incredible, they really brought the party and insanely positive energy. Nailed the first dance, even with our little addition last minute, took it in stride and ran with it. Couldn’t have been any better! If you want really well played music at your wedding, these are the guys.”
Callum & Bethany - Wedding, Farbridge, West Sussex
“Light Years were amazing, Tommy and the band were all incredibly talented and made our night so amazing. The band were very accommodating to any request or change of plan we had. Since the party we have had multiple people say how impressed they were with the band and that they would love to see them again live.”
Jordan & Alicia - Wedding, The Friars Aylesford Priory, Kent
“Light Years were both epic and amazing at our recent wedding! The dance floor was packed for the whole evening and I (the bride) did not leave the dance floor for the whole night. All of our guests have been talking about the band and how they are one of the BEST wedding bands they've seen! Light Years read the room incredibly well and each song had our guests singing and dancing the night away. A bit of Jamiroquai even got my mum up on the dance floor! The Sandstorm/Alice Deejay/Faithless medley at the end of the evening was a real highlight. I don't think our guests were expecting it but it was amazing! A special thanks to Light Years for playing our First Dance request. We only requested this 4 weeks before the date and it was just brilliant. We wish we had recorded it! Thank you for making our wedding reception one to remember!”
Natalie & Alistair - Wedding, Farnham Castle, Surrey
“A year and a half after our wedding and our family and friends still talk about how good our band Light Years was!”
Stacey & Will - Wedding, Ardington House, Oxfordshire
“Light Years recently played at our wedding at Bisham Abbey, and they were absolutely phenomenal. Their extensive and diverse song list kept the dance floor packed all night, catering to all tastes with infectious energy. The band's ability to read the room and maintain an electric atmosphere was impressive - our guests were ecstatic, almost too happy if that's possible at a wedding! Not only were Light Years outstanding performers, but they also offered excellent value for money. It's rare to find such top-tier talent at such a reasonable price point. I wholeheartedly recommend Light Years for any wedding or event.”
James - Wedding, Bisham Abbey National Sports Centre, Slough
“Great event, Tailored Entertainment was brilliant throughout and communicated well. In fact the team was very patient with me as you can imagine planning a wedding yourself is quite a task. The band performed all our favourites and did a great job towards the end as we all sing along. I would definitely book again.”
Rai & Namita - Wedding, Lingfield Park Hotel & Country Club, Lingfield, Surrey
“The band were absolutely amazing on our wedding day! We were so happy with their performance and DJ set - the set list was amazing, the staging looked great and everyone commented on how incredible they were. Please pass on our thanks to the band for making our wedding evening so special. We had the best time!”
Sophie & Ashley - Wedding, Fidelio Cafe, London
“Light Years were fantastic. The best wedding band we've experienced and we were lucky enough to have them at our wedding. Every guest specifically mentioned how good they were and a special mention to Thom for the DJ session at the end and listening to all the requests we made throughout the day. Couldn't recommend them any higher! Thank you”
Rob & Hannah - Wedding, The Bull on Bell Street, Henley-on-Thames, Oxfordshire
“Light Years were nothing short of incredible. We, and all our guests, absolutely loved their performances. They set the perfect vibe for both our reception drinks Live Lounge session and the evening party sets, they're incredible musicians with such versatility across several music genres - all so much fun. As the bride, I thought I'd be off chatting to guests throughout the night but I spent a solid 3 hours on the dance floor! We had such great feedback from our guests on how much they loved the music, and I should mention a special thank you for their performance of our first dance for which I'd requested a combination of two versions of the same song, an acoustic version transitioning into an upbeat version - it was perfect. Couldn't recommend them highly enough and already thinking of other parties I can throw to book them for! As for Tailored Entertainment, again absolutely faultless. It was a really smooth booking process, with lots of information about how the events work, clarity on what is and isn't covered in your fees and in the months running up to the wedding Chloe was super communicative, did lots of liaising with the band for all our music requests and was generally so lovely to organise this part with, keeping me well-informed of all the steps and helping everything go smoothly. Thanks to everyone from both of us!”
