Where to begin! Emma and I got married in October and we were lucky to have Splendid Gentlemen as our wedding band. Dee and the boys completely captured the dance floor and there wasn't a moment it wasn't full of folk jumping around! Our guests absolutely raved about the band and said that they were one of the best - which we agree! From having our first dance sang perfectly, to a wide range of tracks that kept the party going we really could not have asked for anything better! Thank you - E&R x

The Splendid Gentlemen played at my wedding on 07 Dec 25 at the Waterside in West Kilbride. I do not think there are enough superlatives in the English language to do these guys justice. What a band, super talented and lovely guys to boot. I would highly recommend.

Splendid Gentlemen did a fantastic job at our wedding. They read the room perfectly all night, delivered an excellent performance, and even managed to pull off a very fun ceilidh with our mostly non-Scottish wedding party. Could not have asked for better!

Splendid Gentlemen performed at our wedding on the 25th October 2025 and they were UNREAL. As soon as we viewed their demo videos ahead of booking, we knew they were the band for us. And they just took over at the event - keeping the floor full with a great mix of music that everyone loved - some of the crowd even asked if they had any albums they could buy. Who knew a rock band could perform Pink Pony Club! Dee - we can't thank you and the guys enough - totally made our day special.

It was an absolute pleasure having the Splendid Gentlemen as our wedding band. They are immensely talented. Our combined music tastes made for an eclectic setlist (with a rather unorthodox first dance request) and they NAILED it. The atmosphere was so positive and energetic, and had all the guests up enjoying themselves!
We honestly couldn't have asked for a better band. As well as being top-notch musicians, Dee and the guys are such pleasant, down-to-earth folk who we really enjoyed having there. Thanks so much guys!

The dance floor was never empty and they played a great mix of songs, including requests, that suited the wide range of musical tastes of the guests.
We had lots of compliments about our choice of band. I would highly recommend—especially if you don't want the typical cheesy wedding band.

The Splendid Gentlemen played at our wedding in Edinburgh, Scotland, and they were nothing short of phenomenal! From the very beginning, they were responsive, professional, and accommodating (honouring every request we had and communicating with ease). They arrived on time, full of energy and enthusiasm, and completely rocked their performance.
Throughout the night, countless guests came up to us to say how incredible the band was and how much fun they were having. Every song was performed with passion and precision, and they truly made the evening unforgettable. Our first dance was flawless, as were our special dances with the father of the bride and the mother of the groom.
Their repertoire is extensive, covering a wide range of genres, and they seamlessly moved between styles to keep everyone on the dance floor.
We highly recommend The Splendid Gentlemen for any wedding or event. They exceeded every expectation and made our special day even more memorable. Thank you again for an incredible experience we'll never forget!

Our first dance song was perfect and the DJ set afterwards kept everyone going until the early hours. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone, genuinely lovely guys, and will definitely be looking to see them at a gig sometime in the future.

The Splendid Gentlemen were the absolute best! We had a small wedding of only 20 people, and the band had us all up and dancing the whole night! They took all our requests and even learned a song on the spot for one of our guests, which was so impressive!
They were also just an extremely nice group of guys and were really communicative throughout the booking and leading up to the wedding. Dee was even responding to our emails just days after having his baby girl! Seriously, such a great band—we can't recommend them enough :)

If you want your event to be the best night ever, you need to get these guys - the floor was FILLED from start to finish - just what you want for your celebration! If you don't have these guys play at your wedding/event then you are missing out.
Thank you for making our day feel like it was about us, and keeping the energy (and amazing tunes ) going from the moment you arrived - our wedding would have been nothing without you ❤️

Everyone who has spoken to us since have all said that the band were phenomenal (even my 65 year old mother!)
Definitely wouldn't have been the same, successful wedding without these splendid gentlemen. Do yourself a favour and get these guys booked!

Splendid Gentlemen performed at our wedding on 16th August and they were absolutely brilliant! They are super talented and their repertoire is so vast! They had the dancefloor full the whole night and knew exactly how to please the crowd. They were even patient enough to try to teach a large majority of our English guests some ceilidh dances - a great feat!
Dee is very professional and his communication was great throughout the whole process, which made everything stress free on the day. Their energy was infectious and they brought such an incredible vibe to the night (which resulted in quite a few mosh pits from our guests). We cannot recommend this band highly enough!

Splendid Gentlemen played our wedding reception, and they were sensational. Dee has a fantastic voice, and they learned and performed our first dance song beautifully for us. The repertoire is so varied, and they do them all so well, that there's something for everyone - even my 88 year old gran was loving them! Dealing with Dee in the lead up was a pleasure, he was professional throughout and his approach kept the process simple.
On the night, they were brilliant and they were experts at keeping the energy in the room - we even had a power cut for a few minutes, but Dee and the band were able to recapture the vibe and get everyone back up straight away. I've had so many guests comment on how good they were and some have already told me that they'll be booking them when they get married! In all sincerity, I couldn't have asked for more from them, and I'd go as far as to say that booking the rest of your wedding around their availability is a good shout.
Thanks again to Dee and the rest of the band for playing a huge part in an amazing night!

The band did a Ceilidh set and coached all of our guests through a few dances (which was a real highlight!) and then finished the night with a DJ set to keep the party going until 1am. They had people on the dancefloor all night and I've had so many of our guests mention that they were the best band they've ever seen at a wedding! Thank you so much Splendid Gentlemen!

In June, we were lucky enough to have Splendid Gentlemen perform at our wedding. We knew they were the ones for us when we saw bands like Linkin Park and Rage Against the Machine in their repertoire, which perfectly suited us and our music taste. We requested an acoustic version of Follow You by Bring Me the Horizon for our first dance, and it honestly could not have been more perfect. The set list they played was also incredible and accommodated all music tastes, keeping the dancefloor packed all night. Their energy and talent were second to none, creating an unforgettable experience for us and our guests. Everyone who attended our wedding was raving (and still is!) about how unbelievable and professional the band were. Thank you Splendid Gentlemen for making our day so special!

We had the pleasure of Splendid Gentlemen performing at our wedding back in May. We had absolutely no doubt they were the right choice having gone to see them perform at Maggies in Glasgow around two years beforehand, however, they still exceeded our expectations. Aside from performing a fantastic rendition of Love You 'Till the End for our first dance, they kept the tunes coming, and most importantly kept our guests dancing. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend Splendid Gentlemen to anyone or for any occasion and look forward to seeing them perform in Glasgow again soon.

Splendid Gentleman were absolutely out of this world. We were looking for a band that suited our vibe and we saw these guys' picture and went.... that's the guys. We then went to a wedding fayre and saw their set up before realising who it was. After a chat with Dee, we both walked away and decided it was a definite. We requested Blink 182 - First Date for our first dance and it honestly couldn't have been any more perfect. This band are incredible and I cannot wait to see them again. 100% recommend, you will not regret your choice. X

I genuinely don't think we could have got a more perfect band for our wedding 31.05.25. My Maid of Honour and I went to watch the Splendid Gentlemen play back in August 2023 at one of their gigs and I just knew instantly that these guys were the one for us!
The full band were so friendly and communication was great. They even allowed my Maid of Honour to sing with them and this memory is something both my Husband and I will cherish forever. Their cover of our first dance was better than we could have ever expected and we absolutely loved it.
The set list they played was also perfect, accommodated all music tastes and had plenty of people up on the dancefloor! We have had so many guests asking just who these guys are and raving about how good they truly were.
I would highly recommend The Splendid Gentlemen and we cannot wait to hear you guys again!

Splendid Gentleman was everything we hoped for and more! We knew they were the one when we saw Deftones on their set list – not your typical wedding band, and exactly what we wanted. Their energy and talent were unreal, and they brought such a fun, unique vibe to the evening.
They also had an amazing ability to read the room, playing exactly what the crowd wanted and keeping the dancefloor buzzing all night. It felt so personal and true to us, and so many guests told us how much they loved the music.
If you're looking for something a little less traditional, more personal, and seriously fun – this is the band to book. They're something special.

My wife and I booked them immediately after seeing them play one of their Maggie Mays gigs. They played tune after tune all night at the wedding, including nailing our first dance, which was a really special moment.
We also stuck mainly to rock-based songs, but they even managed to play Love Story exactly the way a rock fan would want to hear it! Our guests all made sure to tell us how good the band were. We highly recommend these lads if you're wanting a band for your wedding.

After working within the wedding industry for 10 years, there's no one else we could have picked for our evening entertainment.
We've had nothing but praise from our guests about 'how amazing the band was!'. You are a class and power house of your own genre, the band for those who want the anti-wedding band.

Hands down the best band I've worked with across 12 years in the wedding industry. Consummate professionals with an incredible stage presence, range and banter, all with a repertoire that would impress the most musically knowledgeable of clients. These boys are musical chameleons with band manager Dee leading you through your evening entertainment and being your reliable and friendly point of contact from the start. If you are looking for a band that will turn your reception into a self-sufficient gig that your guests will be talking about for years, your search is over. From one wedding vendor to another, you guys are the best.

Since the wedding, we've had so many comments about how much they enjoyed seeing a band that's so different from the old stuffy wedding bands they've been used to seeing.
We knew from seeing them playing at Maggie May's in Glasgow that they were going to be loads of fun and we loved that they put their own spin on everything, from classic rock to pop. Communication from the band was fantastic from the get-go and we loved their version of our favourite song for our first dance.
A truly splendid group of guys - get them booked!

If you are reading this review and considering booking the Splendid Gentlemen for your wedding or event, please allow me to save you the time and effort of making up your mind—just do it. You won't regret it. I had the pleasure of booking Splendid Gentlemen to play at my wedding in August, and they were everything I had hoped for and more.
From the very start, their professionalism and attention to detail were evident. Dee reached out well in advance to introduce himself and took the time to walk us through everything we needed to know about the setup on the day. His communication was clear, friendly, and reassuring, which really helped ease any pre-wedding jitters we had. On the day of the wedding, the band was punctual, organised, and fully prepared. But what truly set them apart was how accommodating they were. We had a special request for our first dance, and not only did they agree to learn the song, but they also performed it perfectly.
As for their performance—wow. The energy and talent they brought to the stage were second to none. They kept the dance floor packed all night long, and our guests couldn't stop raving about them. They nailed every song with style and flair. Their ability to read the crowd and adjust the setlist accordingly ensured that everyone, from the youngest to the oldest, had an unforgettable time. And beyond their musical talent, the Splendid Gentlemen were friendly, approachable, and genuinely nice guys.
In short, Splendid Gentlemen exceeded all of our expectations. If you want a band that is not only incredibly talented but also professional, accommodating, and a joy to work with, look no further. We couldn't have asked for anything more and will forever be grateful to them for making our wedding day so memorable.

They had the dancefloor going all night and our guests raved about them. We really didn't want a cheesy wedding band, and these guys did not disappoint. They played a wide range of songs from Foo Fighters to Britney, and even a few Ceilidh numbers (that our non-Scottish guests loved!). Super talented and really friendly guys, Dee was so helpful in all his communication too.
Thank you so much for everything, wish we could do it all over again! Looking forward to catching a Splendid Gentlemen gig when we are back in Scotland.

First and foremost, everyone needs to book Splendid Gentlemen if they're looking for a wedding band that stands out from the crowd and has outstanding talent. After booking our venue, our next step in our planning was picking our band. After coming across Splendid Gentlemen, we couldn't see past them, and very thankfully they were available for our special day. So many people commented throughout the evening how amazing they were and managed to cater for everyone in terms of music tastes. From our more rocky side to more 90s classics and modern hits.
We had so much fun and I couldn't leave the dance floor as it was awesome tune after awesome tune! It's a massive bonus that as well as their talent that they're all so lovely. The icing on the cake for us was that my husband played a song with them and that's something that will remain in our core memories forever!

We had Splendid Gentlemen at our wedding in June 2024. There are no words for these guys! Absolutely incredible. I challenge anyone to find a band who can jump from the Spice Girls straight into Rage Against The Machine and keep the dance floor bouncing.
Incredible job and thank you for being part of our big day! Paul and Keira x

We cannot say enough nice things about the Splendid Gentlemen. Their performance at our wedding reception was truly the icing on the cake of such a spectacular day! The guests were absolutely thrilled with the music, and there was nonstop dancing until the very end of the night. They were great at reading the crowd and choosing songs that kept the energy going, and they even took requests.
The Splendid Gentlemen are friendly, professional, fun, and incredibly talented. We are so glad they were a part of our celebration!

Splendid Gentlemen played our wedding at The Gailes in June 2024 and everyone was blown away! We were so happy they could learn our first dance song and they were able to start it off slow which was great!
Everyone was up dancing from the end of the first dance and the partying did not stop! They took requests all night and everyone had a ball. Thank you for making our wedding night one to remember??

They played a wide range of songs, helped with our requests and they had everyone up dancing all night! They are such a professional group. We've had so many guests comment how amazing our band was. Highly recommend if you want your guests on the dance floor all night!

Splendid Gentlemen played for us at Old Manor Lundin Links on June 21st. Beautiful day, enjoyed by all our friends. From the very first song – Barry White's "Your My First, My Last, My Everything" – right through to the end of the DJ set with Runrig (classic closing song). They had the floor bouncing, every single person there was raving about the tremendous band.
Even had a wee ceilidh in between which gave good entertainment. Dee was very easy to contact from the start and learned that fantastic song for us, absolutely nailed it.
If you are looking for a band, look no further than these guys, we just hope they are playing at the next wedding we attend. Class guys and thank you so much again.

Splendid Gentlemen played at our wedding on 5th May 2024. They were my only choice when it came to booking our band, and thankfully were available to make our day extra special. I first became aware of them when they played at my son and his wife's wedding in July 2018. I never checked out any other bands. When you've seen these guys on a stage, what's the point in looking at other bands!
They had us all up on the dance floor with a variety of songs that catered for all ages. If you're looking for a band, look no further as Splendid Gentlemen. These guys are brilliant. Thanks again, Margaret and Richard.

Dee was very accommodating through email in regards to first dances and requests. If you are still searching for your wedding band, look no further, get the boys booked!

The Splendid Gentlemen played for us at our wedding in April. They were fantastic. Everything was easy to organise and they were professional from start to finish as well as being a great bunch of guys. We'd seen them play at a couple of friend's weddings before so had already seen their ability to keep the party going all night and read the crowd down to a tee – they did not disappoint.
The music was excellent with all tastes catered for. The dancefloor was never empty. I cannot recommend them enough.

We had the Splendid Gentlemen play at our evening reception at Cornhill Castle and they did not disappoint! All our guests and myself were raving about them throughout the night and after. They read the room perfectly with their extensive repertoire and mix of songs in their own style and were happy to take on requests.
Communication with the band was nothing but easy and welcoming and they learned our first dance song, which was perfect!
We'll definitely be coming along to one of their own gigs to listen to them play again. Thank you for making our evening reception one to remember, absolute highlight to our wedding day!

Splendid Gentleman did an absolutely amazing job at our wedding reception, keeping the energy high and the dancefloor packed all night!
We're both big rock fans and really wanted a band who had a rawer and more powerful sound than the traditional wedding band, could belt out our favourite numbers but also play all of the wedding classics. To say the guys exceeded expectations would be a massive understatement!
We've had no end of positive feedback about the band and their set, which had something for everyone and really made our evening!
In addition to absolutely smashing our first dance, the band took it off their own back to learn an extra song which went down great with the groomsmen and which hasn't been shut up about since! Also, thanks to the band for putting on a ceilidh - a few of our guests hadn't done one before and we had a good laugh "gently" introducing them to some Scottish traditions!
We honestly couldn't recommend Splendid Gentlemen enough and we can't wait to come along to one of your gigs soon!
Cheers gents!

We booked Splendid Gentlemen for our wedding on 8.4.24 and they did not disappoint!!
These guys are so talented and on the ball, everything ran so smoothly from the first point of contact to the end of the wedding night. Dee came to have a chat with us before the first dance to check in with us and stayed for a bit after to chat too which we really appreciated.
We requested our first dance song to start slow and end with high energy to kick start the night and they delivered this perfectly!
Their repertoire and performance is amazing and kept the dance floor jumping all night. Everyone was commenting on how great they were and were impressed with the variety of rock, pop and indie songs they performed.
We even requested to end the night with Metallica - Enter Sandman at the last minute with which they happily obliged.
If you are looking for a wedding band get these guys booked or you'll be missing out!!
Thank you so much. Our wedding wouldn't have been the same without you guys.
We will be sure to come and see you in Maggie Mays soon!

They created a great energetic atmosphere and had our guests dancing all night and did not hesitate to take requests! All of our guests have been raving about them.
We would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a wedding band, particularly those looking for someone who can accommodate the classics and also something a bit different. Dee and the boys done an amazing job in performing our first dance also! Thank you so much again boys! - The Olivers

We had Splendid Gentlemen play at our wedding just last night and I couldn't recommend them enough. They were so accommodating with our first dance and father/daughter dance songs and timings and kept the crowd going all night. Ceilidh set was great and so much fun and requests were no problem at all.
We had said we were indie/rock fans but also that we wanted crowd pleasers too and every song that came on suited us perfectly - the guys are great at reading a crowd and playing what they think will suit. A huge thank you to you guys as it honestly made our wedding reception amazing and the compliments from guests were endless.
We'll definitely be coming along to one of your gigs at some point soon!

Splendid Gentlemen kept the dancefloor at our wedding full from the moment they took the stage until the lights went out! Dee and the Gentlemen's set was a non-stop, high energy celebration of just the kind of music we love – songs that make you cheer when you recognise them, demand you grab someone for a dance, and make you want to sing along as loud as your voice will let you.
Our guests have not stopped telling us just how much they enjoyed the Gentlemen and their set-list of absolute bangers. Splendid Gentlemen took our guests on a rip-roaring musical tour through classic rock and roll, modern alt rock, and iconic sing-alongs – all whilst maintaining levels of energy, style, and connection with their audience that should not be possible by mortal men.
They're also just lovely blokes. The Gentlemen were super duper organised in the planning stage and asked all the kind of questions that really showed they care about their clients' experience on the night. Totally stress free booking experience.
I cannot recommend Splendid Gentlemen enough. Book. Them. Now.

The dance floor at our wedding was full the entire night and all of our guests commented on how amazing they were. All our requests were played (making one of our groomsmen a very happy man by playing Alice in Chains) and we enjoyed every minute of their set, dancing and singing along all night.
1000% recommend anyone looking for a band - look no further and book Splendid Gentlemen, you will not be disappointed. Dee, Craig & Steven thank you all for playing at our wedding, from the new Mr & Mrs Davidson!

Splendid Gentlemen were our band for our wedding reception and they were absolutely insane! We both loved how they were more indie than other bands and their repertoire consisted of songs we love rather than all the usual wedding songs. On the night they were fantastic, every guest complimented the band to me and how every song they played was amazing. They interacted with our guests and even managed to pull out a random request from my dad from the band Five. They catered to everyone's tastes and made it a perfect night for our wedding celebration!

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!

We booked Splendid Gentlemen for our wedding and it was perfect! We highly recommend 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 to 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 dances, 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!

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 Gentlemen, with many commenting it was the best wedding band they had heard.

We had a 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!

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 we 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 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!

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!

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!

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!

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.

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!

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 to 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.

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 their 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 their own repertoire was so good, I just said keep doing what you're doing!
Honestly couldn't recommend these guys enough. Get them booked in early as their diary is always full!

We cannot say enough good things about the Splendid Gentlemen and it's 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

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.

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!

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!

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.

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!

I found SG at one of the wedding shows (my bridesmaid was talking 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!

I cannot recommend Splendid Gentlemen highly enough! We first saw them play at our 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 can't wait to see them play again!

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.

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.

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.

We had Splendid Gentlemen play at our wedding in February 2023. It was their first wedding of the year with their new drummer 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!

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!

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.

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!

They learnt our first song for us and everyone commented on how great they were. Highly recommend.

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!

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, and 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. 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 and 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

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.

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!

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.

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 brother's 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!

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!

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!

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.

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.

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 solos that were completely spot on, and the music really made the day, giving it the festival feel we were looking for. 10/10 would recommend!

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!

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!

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 father's football victory lol!

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, Green Day, 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. Splendid 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.

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 a great addition to our night and I would highly recommend! Don't just think about booking them… get them booked!

Splendid gentlemen played at our wedding at Cornhill castle this year and they were 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!

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.

We booked The Splendid Gentlemen back in 2016 as our wedding band. Obviously due to Covid lockdowns and restrictions, our wedding was postponed 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 postponements, 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!

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!

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 again xx

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 lovely 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 come up to us and said it was the best wedding they had ever been to. We really hope to see the guys again at another wedding as they were just mindblowingly good. Rock on.

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!

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 won't 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 normally 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.

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 guests commented on how brilliant the band was.
Totally recommend them for any event. First class and very professional throughout the whole booking process. ?? xx.

We booked these guys after listening to them 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 their reviews—they were amazing! During lockdown we listened to them on their lives on Facebook. We even got a request on our first date; they sang Ed Sheeran's "Thinking Out Loud" for us! We requested our first dance song as this wasn't on their list, and all I can say is they were amazing at it. 100% recommend these guys; you will have a great night xx.

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.

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!

Splendid Gentlemen 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!!!

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!

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!

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.

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.

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

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 and 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 Isbell's "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 and my dad – lovely lovely guys!

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!

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 have 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. ;)

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…

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.

Finally getting round to doing our review! I cannot 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

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.

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.

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!

Splendid Gentlemen played at our wedding on Friday 8th June at 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,
Rory and Emma

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

Splendid Gentlemen played at our wedding on 26th May and we have just returned from our honeymoon to a huge amount of compliments about the band from guests of all ages. It's great to know that everyone loved them as much as we did. The band had to compete with football playing and good weather but still managed to win and the dance floor was never empty! The guys were amazing and made my reception very special by learning my requests and playing them like they had known them forever! Definitely the best decision to book Splendid Gentlemen and would recommend anyone to do so. We could not be happier with the success of our reception all thanks to these guys!

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,

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 recommendd 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 genuinly 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 plus in a phoone to play it through their break. This mean a lot to our guests.
I strongly believe a band makes or breaks an evening wedding reception and this band MADE ours. We are still receving compliments about the boys. True professionals worth their talent in gold! Thank you for helping to create memories that will last a lifetime. Mr and Mrs McCombie. X

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 from a bit of Metallica. You can not go wrong with these gents!

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!

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. 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!

No words to describe how phenomenal these guys are. Their down to earth personalities and good banter are reason enough to book them let alone their fantastic ability to get the dancefloor up and going all night long. Their consideration for a range of ages is fantastic and they play a whole range of songs to suit all guests. Dee even offered to play a song in my dad's memory which was very touching and meant a lot to me. If you are looking for a band then really look no further as these guys tick every box. Looking forward to see you all at our friends wedding in July!

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.

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.

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!

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.
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.

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.

The dance floor was never empty - literally every song there were loads of folk up dancing! I think every one of the 200 guests raved about you and so many said you were the best band they had ever seen and we agree!
We cannot thank you enough for creating an amazing atmosphere and finishing off our wedding day in style. Everyone loved that you took requests and you gauged the music type that everyone loved to perfection! What a brilliant night!
Thank you again to the three of you! You are amazing singers and phenomenal musicians! We have brilliant memories of our reception to cherish forever. Anyone who manages to secure you for their special date is so lucky!

I have never ever written a review of anything but feel I need to now. Splendid gentlemen played at my wedding last night. Unbeknownst to them, they were playing in front of a room full of musicians. In attendance were London west end performers, recording studio owners, amateur musicians, a 20yr plus vet from the queens grenadiers guards band and many more. Anyone who knows what it means to play in front of a room of musicians (as I do) will understand what this means.
Everyone and I do mean everyone absolutely loved their set. Their variety and ability stunned everyone. They kept the pace of the evening going and even once they finished playing live, their short DJ set kept the correct genre and everyone remained on the dance floor. All of these guys are genuinely nice guys and will do anything to please their audience.
I, before the day, had wanted to ask to sing and play with them on one song on the drums as a surprise for my wife. Their pace and energy meant that was never an option and I was happy to just pay them and enjoy their set. This is by no means a criticism and more of a complement.
I know my wife wants to see them again soon playing in Maggie May's, but as she is a tone deaf musically inept sort of person, I wouldnt take that as the biggest complenent of this review.
If you're after a bloody good wedding band with the ability to play a variety of rock heavy tunes (emphasis placed here), crowd pleasing cheese and wedding formalities then look no further.
With our greatest appreciation
Steven & Fiona.

We had a very mixed crowd of ages and musical tastes but went with the band we enjoyed listening to the most who weren't too cheesy /weddingy. They didn't let us down... The dance floor was filled all night with our guests, young and old, enjoying the music and fun. We had so many comments on how great the band were. Anyone out there looking for a genuinely brilliant wedding band with their own unique sound still intact, go with Splendid! Thank you lads for making our celebrations go off with a bang.

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!

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

They played the songs we requested with aplomb with lots of people commenting on how good they were (dance floor was never empty!).

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!

Hi Sharon, Our wedding has now been and gone! I just wanted to leave a review of the band - they were amazing!
A few months before the wedding, we emailed Dee to see if there was any chance that the band could learn our very obscure first dance song. To be honest, we weren't really expecting a yes and had some back up songs prepared just in case! To our surprise, he emailed back saying that him and the guys loved a challenge and they would give it a go. They played the song for our first dance and it was even better than the original :-) They were amazing all night long and had everyone up dancing. I had so many people say to me that they really enjoyed the music. So thanks guys, we really appreciate that you took the time to learn our song and helped make our wedding day the best day ever!

Hi Sharon'
Just to let you know that Splendid Gentlemen put on a fantastic performance at our wedding last night. They allowed us to request songs on the run up to the night, it was possible to contact them via email, and they always provided a response.
On the night they also allowed a few requests. We got a lot of very positive responses from our guests on how good the band were.
Spoke to the guys at the end of the night and was good to let them know how impressed we were of them.
10 out of 10, would recommend the band as we thought they were brilliant.
Thanks for Coast Entertainments role in organising the recommendation and booking the band.

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 couldn't 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

"Hi Dee and the Splendid gentlemen, Just wanted to say you guys were fantastic at our wedding on Saturday night. Such a great night and to say you rocked the house would be an understatement. Also thanks for letting myself Kilian and Eoghan take the stage to relive our glory days again! ( last gig was 10+ years ago!)."

Thanks for making the evening so special! We would definitely recommend you to anyone!" Aneta & Stewart MacPherson (Drumossie Hotel, Inverness, July 2012)"Well what can I say?? Amazing just amazing myself and the lovely mrs currie would love to say thanks for making our wedding so so good.For anyone else looking for a band I would highly recommend these guys my wife said to me the only things you need to arrange are the band ( my response was well people only ever remember the band and the food haha) and I'll pat myself on the back and say I did a smashing job these guys don't just look at it as a booking they go that extra mile and it doesn't just end after the party they keep in touch after really nice guys. P.s will virtually play anything once even seen them play/sing "I've got a feeling" by the black eyed pea's lol very entertaining haha All the best and thanks again :)"

It's Jillian Moon here, you guys played at our wedding at Loch Green on September 21st. I have been meaning to email you for ages but just haven't found the time until now sorry. We wanted to say a massive thank you to The Splendid Gentlemen for making our wedding so special and the best party EVER!!! The band were incredible and everyone has been raving about you guys - you most definitely got the party started! The dance floor was packed from the moment you began and still had guests dancing after you finished, a sign of great music and a great night. Mrs Towndrow would be proud! Thanks again for adding to an incredible day, we had so much fun singing and dancing the night away, as well as watching our usher turn into your biggest groupie! You're all lovely people and we really wish you guys every success for the future.”

We booked The Splendid Gentlemen for our wedding party at Pollokshields Burgh hall and they exceeded our expectations! Loads of our friends commented on how good they were and everyone, young and old, loved their choice of songs. They are friendly, polite and I would highly recommend them!
