“We booked the Cheers Band for our wedding in Bentley on 12 September 2026, and we honestly couldn’t have made a better choice.
Steve & Jo (Wedding)12.09.2026
The communication throughout was absolutely spot on. We had the saxophone and acoustic guitar playing during our drinks reception, and everyone was so impressed — it created such a lovely atmosphere.
Later in the evening, the band performed as a six-piece, and they certainly got everyone up on the dancefloor! The energy was fantastic, and they really helped make our wedding evening so memorable.
We can’t thank Ben and the whole band enough for everything. They were brilliant from start to finish, and we would highly recommend the Cheers Band to anyone looking for an amazing wedding/function band!”
“The Cheers performed at our daughters wedding, firstly with the acoustic duo at the afternoon drinks reception and later with their six piece band for the evening party. They took care of all the live and manned playlist/back ground music for the whole day and were even able to learn and perform the song for the first dance to perfection. They kept the dance floor packed all night and are truly a class act from the planning stages right through to the performances. We cannot thank Ben, Becca and the rest of the band enough for helping to create some wonderful memories on such a perfect day!”

“From my first enquiry to our post event conversations , Ben Thornton, Cheers Band Manager has been a joy work with. He has a very friendly manner and was happy to discuss ideas in detail in order to create a bespoke event. He provided very clear written information as well.

We opted for a five piece band to include a female and a male singer . They were absolutely fabulous! The dance floor filled as soon as they started playing. The atmosphere in the room was happy and electric and we had a wonderful party! Thank you so much Cheers, I would recommend you wholeheartedly.

“We booked The Cheers for a birthday party in our garden this month. I specifically wanted a disco/Motown vibe and definitely delivered. The sounded fantastic, got the party going but in addition they were all lovely to deal with. I would happily book them again without hesitation.”
Marcella (60th Birthday Party)11.07.2026
“The Cheers played our wedding on 4th July 2026 in Greenwich London and were fantastic. Everyone had a great time and commented how good the music was.
For us the interaction was easy in the build up to the day. Communication was clear and the band were very accommodating with music choices, learning our first dance and music schedule. When you’re organising many things is nice to work with people that are friendly and helpful.
One highlight for us was our 8 year old daughter joining the band on stage to sing love story. It was a lovely memory for her and us as a family and we a thankful to the band for allowing that impromptu moment.
In short, we would definitely recommend The Cheers for weddings and any other functions for that matter.”

“We booked The Cheers for our wedding in the Cotswolds and they did an amazing job - we've had so many compliments about the band and the music, and had so much fun dancing! They catered their repertoire on the night well to the audience, and matched the energy in the room, and took into account some suggestions/requests we had made beforehand. Speaking about the logistics with Ben before the wedding was nice an easy, which meant no stress on the day! I wouldn't hesitate to recommend The Cheers, or book them again for a future event - thank you so much for a brilliant evening!”

Emma & Justin (Wedding)28.03.2026
Ben, your timely communication, support and advice throughout the process were incredibly appreciated and meant this stressed out bride had a lot less to worry about!
We would love to do the whole thing again and will be looking for any excuse to have a party in the future and get you guys back!”

George & Juliet (Wedding)02.08.2025
“Thank you so much to the whole Cheers band for the incredible music you performed at our wedding. It was absolutely amazing and I cannot fault it at all. A true highlight, with many of our family and friends commenting on it both on the night and since then as well. The musical ability on show was fantastic, delightful instruments and wonderful vocals. Also a big thank you for how easy and straightforward you made the communication throughout the whole process, which is massively appreciated.”
Rebecca & Charlie (Wedding)26.07.2025
“These guys rock, they played hit after hit and they were incredible. We spent most of the evening on the dance floor, their set list is huge and they had us all up and singing along. We opted for a 6 piece band and it was well worth it, the added musicians really filled out the sound experience. Totally recommend these guys. Even their sound check was quick, they made no fuss, no issues, turned up, rocked out and then left. We loved it! Thank you.”
Rebecca & Andrew (Wedding)25.07.2025

Courtney & Gavin (Wedding)11.12.2024
“Absolutely exceptional. We hired The Cheers for our wedding evening reception and they were superb - our guests loved them and we had the best time. Ben was incredibly responsive in the lead up to our wedding, and nothing was too much trouble - including learning our first dance song. We can't recommend The Cheers enough - thank you Ben and the band!”
Chris & Lucy (Wedding)23.11.2024
“The Cheers were amazing, I hired them for my wedding and I cannot recommend them enough.
From start to finish there communication was excellent. They spoke with the venue directly and created a stress free experience for me. They answered any question I had, and had a very handy guide to use for timings and common questions from their previous experience. They were brilliant.
The band itself is awesome, everyone at the wedding came and asked me where I found the band, they got everyone up and dancing. We had a male and female singer, both were excellent. The song choice they made, had everyone laughing, and bouncing around.
You know there brilliant when the venue asked for their details to recommend them to other couples 😀
I have nothing bad to say, professional throughout, great communication and the music was just perfect. They also learnt our 1st dance song and smashed it out the park.
Thanks Ben and the whole band, It was magical
Roxanne & Matthew Langley”
Roxanne & Matthew (Wedding)12.09.2024
“We needed a band to suit ages from Uni graduates to wedding guests from 30yrs ago. The Cheers were amazing, all ages are still talking about them now! We had a marquee, stage, suitable electrics and dance floor, and wow, did they made the party rock. Ben was great with communication, very professionally documented and clear about their needs which was all reassuring. We booked well in advance... and so pleased that we did as it was fantastic! If only we could have more reasons for parties.”
Alison (Private Party)31.08.2024
“We hired The Cheers for a joint 50th birthday party on 10th August 2024 and were super impressed with the band from the very start of communication with Ben to the very end of the party.
Charlotte (50th Birthday Party)10.08.2024
A big thanks to Ben for making the organisation process so easy and creating a really personable experience; and thanks to the rest of the band who were incredible and extremely talented! We got so much good feedback from everyone throughout the night and the biggest tell tale was the amount of people up dancing, smiling and having a fantastic time, so much that they didn't want the band to stop playing - the saxophonist was also a fabulous way to start the evening off - music can make or break a party and we definitely got it right by going with The Cheers!”
“The Cheers were absolutely incredible! We booked them for our wedding evening reception and they created such a fun atmosphere and got everyone on the dance floor. The communication we had beforehand was so helpful, they send through a questionnaire so they’ve got all the information they need and they were really helpful in advising what songs would sound best with the vocals we had chosen. Our wedding was in a marquee and we were a bit concerned about the band setting up in the same space as the wedding breakfast but we honestly barely noticed them arriving. They also paused the music and announced our cake cutting when we were running behind schedule. Would 100% recommend.”
Olivia & David (Wedding)06.07.2024
“Thank you performing at our wedding at Montague farm last night Sam and I LOVED the music, you were all brilliant, and the female lead singer was particularly fantastic. We loved the audience participation and all of our guests commented on how fab the music was. Thanks for making our night!”
Rosy & Sam (Wedding)18.05.2024
“The Cheers provided exactly what we were looking for from our wedding band. We were attracted to their option of having up to three singers present and really varied repertoire. This meant that energy was really strong throughout, the increased size of the band adding to the sense of occasion and spectacle. The variety of tracks from disco, classics, rock and pop meant that there was something for everyone throughout the set. The band's experience and expertise meant that genres flowed seamlessly from one to the other. The Cheers were also very flexible both in advance of the performance and on the night. They were happy to accommodate requests for new songs in the repertoire beforehand and were also very patient as the day ran behind schedule, pushing back their start time.”
Joe & Lisa (Wedding)04.05.2024
“I hired The Cheers for my wedding and they were absolutely fantastic. Not only were they incredible on the day, with so much energy, exceptional performances, and friendly vibes, but they were so flexible and practical leading up to the wedding. I really appreciated how approachable and communicative Ben, the Band Manager, was and how he made me feel that we could figure out some of the practicalities as the wedding plans chopped and changed. A superb band, well organised, professional and got everyone on the dance floor every minute they performed. I would recommend to everyone and will be using The Cheers again, no doubt.”
Joel & Isodora (Wedding)20.04.2024
“The Cheers performed at our Christmas party, they arrived on time, were very organised and gave a great performance. Particularly liked their version of American boy! Would certainly recommend them to anyone requiring a band at their event.”
Schindler (Corporate Christmas Party)08.12.2023
“Super lovely band, easy to deal with, great set list and repertoire, very flexible with line jus and options and most importantly, a great sound and vibe. Thanks for a great evening guys, you were fab!”
Laura (40th Birthday Party)14.10.2023
“My husband & I booked The Cheers Function Band for our wedding on the 05/10/2023. After searching for hours and hours for a band they stood out the most as they had so many 5* reviews! And now we know why! We spoke to Ben throughout the whole process and his communication was excellent.
We booked an acoustic duo set for our welcome drinks and the quartet band + saxophone for the evening! We were super keen to have a saxophone finish after seeing this at our friend’s wedding. It was a great addition and a fantastic way to end the night.
The band was absolutely fantastic on the night. We would like to say a special thank you to our lead singer Seonaid - she was brilliant & really engaged with the guests. We had so much complaints about how amazing she was!
We would highly recommend The Cheers Function Band for your Wedding / Event! Thank you so for being part of our special day!”
Charlotte & Bradley (Wedding)05.10.2023
“The Cheers played for our wedding and were absolutely fantastic. The dancefloor was packed for the whole night and we had so many compliments from our guests about the quality of the music. Ben, their manager, is excellent at communication in the lead up to the day and so I didn't have any worries at all. Once again, the music was amazing, the band were so professional and we had the BEST evening. Couldn't recommend them highly enough.”
Liv & Will (Wedding)02.09.2023
“We had the cheers at our wedding in September 2023 and they were outstanding.
I booked them because they played at another wedding I attended and loved them.
Ben and the team never fail. All our guests had the best time and I’m sure the Cheers will be attending a few of their weddings too.
10/10 couldn’t recommend enough.”
Kieran & Amy01.09.2023
“The Cheers played at our wedding in August this year and were absolutely phenomenal from the first set to the last. They were new to the venue but you wouldn't have known. Fuss free, fantastic attitude and with the perfect amount of stage presence for a wedding. Furthermore, Ben, the band manager, was easy to contact, always engaging and friendly, and on-hand for anything we needed. I can't recommend these guys enough. Book them and you won't regret it!”
Will & Aimee (Wedding)13.08.2023
“Thank you!
Lizzie (70th Birthday Party)08.07.2023
The Cheers band were fantastic and haven’t got a single negative to say. They were all highly professional and so approachable from start to finish if anything needed to be adapted it wasn’t a problem. The quality of the live music was faultless and we all really enjoyed it. Highly recommend.”
“Just wanted to say a big thank you from both Kerry and I, you guys definitely exceeded our expectations! It was so great to have some acoustic music for our wedding blessing, and we had so many positive comments from our guests that they loved the live band in the evening! The communication with you via email has been great, so thank you!”
Will & Kerry (Wedding)20.05.2023
“Just wanted to say Thankyou for Saturday. It was really awesome and everyone loved the band so much. The first dance song was incredible and it was just a really fun and awesome night!
You kept us dancing all night and that was what we wanted so we are so grateful for that! And all the song choices were great!”
Rhiannon & Alex (Wedding)13.05.2023
“What a great party! The Cheers band were just amazing and there was never a time when the dance floor was not buzzing. Special tribute to your lead vocalist as they were just amazing, but also to the whole band for a just exceptional performance. We hope they enjoyed playing for us as much as we loved having them perform for us. And thank you for very professional and efficient organisation of the evening which ran like clockwork.”
