Jane and Paul couldn't have been happier with The Wild Nights Duo at their rustic wedding in Herefordshire, who entertained all the guests Glastonbury-style with an outdoor set on the grass.
Our wedding was held at Lyde Court in Hereford. We chose the venue because of its stone barn, gardens and its beautiful countryside location.
The band made my night! We have to think of a reason for another big party now so we can invite them back.
We had our ceremony outside in the sunshine. We went for a rustic theme of hessian, lace and wild flowers...
....and a really relaxed family atmosphere with plenty of things to keep the kids entertained!
After searching for wedding bands in Herefordshire, we finally chose The Wild Nights Duo when we saw their repertoire and heard their demos – they cover all the music we love to listen to.
This band made my night! The music was amazing – both of the guys have talent in spades!
They played our first dance (Need Your Love So Bad) amazingly! What a great start and it got everybody up dancing!
For the second set, because the weather was so great they moved the party outside for us without a second thought. It was just perfect!
During the outside performance the owner of the venue received a phone call from a lady living 3 fields or so away – not to complain no, no, no – she wanted to know who the great band were as she's throwing her own party soon and wants to book them!!
We danced along, sang along and I even did some backing singing at the end! We have to think of a reason for another big party now so we can invite them back!!
Best moments of the day? Walking down the aisle, outside in the sunshine with all our family and friends there....
...and our first dance, just taking the time to enjoy the moment...
...and finally, of course the band playing outside for us all to sing along and dance like mad on the grass!
We found Function Central online and once we had heard The Wild Nights Duo, we knew we just had to have them for our wedding.
If I could give one piece of advice to other couples, I would say make sure you make decisions and choices to please yourselves!
If you are enjoying the day then so will your family and friends.
