Alongside a vast repertoire of wedding and party classics across every conceivable genre, Parklife offer an optional Britpop tribute set, covering 90s indie bands such as Oasis, Blur and Supergrass, as well as 60s British rock acts such as The Beatles, The Rolling Stones and The Kinks.

Along with countless weddings and parties, Parklife have an impressive history of corporate bookings having appeared regularly at Hyde Park's Winter Wonderland, Big Feastival and The Epsom Derby - so you know your event is getting truly experienced professionals.

Parklife have spent the last six years performing in venues all across the UK and abroad. From locations including Bush Hall in London, Lulworth Castle in Dorset, Roundhay Park in Leeds and even a castle in the south of France, Parklife have experience across hundreds of weddings and private functions to know how to deliver a good time.

You might even recognise Parklife yourselves after their appearances on ITV's This Morning, Loose Women and The BBC's coverage of the Oxford & Cambridge boat race!

We didn’t stop dancing from the first song to the last and all our guests were talking about you for weeks afterwards. Tom & Rachel's Wedding

So, Parklife can roll in as a trio with vocals/guitar, bass, and drums or amp it up to a quartet by adding a keyboard player. They bring all their gear, have it fully checked and insured for public gigs.

Parklife pride themselves on being friendly and very easy to work with. As a smaller act this enables them to play smaller venues and stages with ease (however they also like big stages too!) and as Parklife never really have to use deps or session musicians you can rest assured what you see in their videos and photos is what you will get on the day.

Parklife a must-have for any occasion, whether you're after danceable anthems from across the decades, or a 90s themed sing-a-long!

Book with confidence! After events, we ask our clients what they thought of our acts. We publish what they say here, so you can read genuine, unbiased feedback before booking.

“I could not be happier with everything from Function Central and our band. The customer service from Function Central was immaculate, they were on hand to answer any questions and were super helpful and understanding when I had a venue change. I dealt with Beverly who made everything super easy and straight forward which made the whole process so smooth. The band themselves were just unreal! I spoke to Rhys a few weeks before the date to select our preference for a set list and they nailed it! They even played our first dance song which wasn't on their list. Everyone at our wedding said how good they were and we thought the same! They brought the energy and life to our evening party and I could not have been happier with them. Highly recommend them and will definitely use them for future events!! Just brilliant!!! Thank you so so much to everyone!!! What an absolute dream you have been.”

Ellie, Wedding, The Lion Brasserie, Colchester, October 2024

“Thank you for an absolutely awesome night. We both said the quality of the evening is driven by the entertainment and you guys put on a fantastic show. Our guests were gobsmacked that I got up and played with you. Most of them didn't realise I could play guitar! My best man said it was the single greatest thing he'd seen a groom do at a Wedding!”

Alex & Zoe, Wedding, Cirencester, September 2024

“Just wanted to say a massive thank you for an amazing show at my brother's wedding. You were true stars as ever and everyone was in awe of your talents. I just need more excuses to book you again...”

James & Layla, Wedding, The George Hotel, Chipping Sodbury, April 2024

“Absolutely brilliant band. I searched high and low for a great band as we really love music and it’s the one of the most important aspects of our wedding. I found Parklife having listened to their demos and they were really exceptional at our wedding . Thank you so much”

Sara, Wedding, Linden House, Hammersmith, November 2023

“Parklife were fantastic. I think just about every single one of our wedding guests commented on how great the band was. They kept the dance floor busy and made wedding reception extra special. They were super communicative in the lead up as well. Can not recommend them enough!”

Laura, Wedding, Horsley Towers, Leatherhead, October 2023
