Beth Goddard wedding at Dunwood Hall Estate, Stoke-On-Trent, UK

Out of this world! The Ferrymen played at our wedding and they definitely got the party started with everyone singing and dancing! We couldn't have asked for a better bunch of people to have for our daytime entertainment. The songs were varied to suit all of our guests and the planning and run up to the event ran really smoothly - thank you so much!!

Sonya Laswed 60th birthday party in Chichester, UK

We hired The Ferrymen for my husband’s birthday party and they were just perfect. Even though it was a small and intimate group of about 20, they were able to match the vibe perfectly and played the right songs at the right time. I also requested a song outside of their repertoire which they learned especially for the occasion. They performed it beautifully and really managed to engage everyone from start to finish. I highly recommend them and can vouch for their reliability, professionalism and positive attitude. Don’t hesitate - they were a highlight in our special celebration!

Rebecca Hammond wedding at Sandon Manor, Buntingford, UK

What can I say? Zack - thank you for your help and support leading up to the big day. You are so lovely and made the whole process leading up to the wedding, a joy. The Ferrymen are absolutely incredible at what they do. My partner and I watched and listened to so many bands/singers to try to find the best fit for our day and our impulse decision with this band was the best and easiest decision of the whole planning process. We have had non stop compliments since and you guys were truly a highlight. Cannot recommend the Ferrymen enough!

August 2025

Band replied:

Bless you Bex, thats very very kind of you to say! Thanks so much for the kind words on the band, and I'm so glad I was helpful in the leadup. Getting the feedback of guests is also so sweet as well :) Honestly speechless, it means so much to myself and the band that we added to make your perfect special day, it really does. Another massive congrats to you both and hope the rest of the celebrations were epic! :)

Alex Radcliffe wedding at Bingham Riverhouse, Petersham Road, Richmond, UK

Hi Zack, I just wanted to drop a note to say a massive thanks for yesterday. You guys sounded superb, really lifted the atmosphere, and were loved by the guests. Thanks again, Alex.

Jane Parker wedding in London

I hired The Ferrymen to play at my wedding. They were amazing and got everyone (which was a fairly international crowd) on the dance floor in no time! We picked our songs and they came up with the rest. Logistics was also quite straightforward, they just sort of appeared on the day without us having to stress having a million things on our minds being bride and groom. They were also really friendly and smiley with everyone - most of our friends thought they were guests! I highly recommend these guys, Jane.

January 2025

Cheryl Clark party at Hotham Hall

From start to finish these guys were simply fantastic. Zack was a pleasure to deal they - arrived on time & even after a long journey to the venue. They entertained our guests perfectly. Everybody commented on how fantastic they were they even learned a special song for me. I could not recommend them enough and I hope to have another party in the future so I can book them again. Thank you so much. You were just amazing!

December 2024

Band replied:

Thanks so much for the very kind words Cheryl, was a pleasure to be a part of your celebrations! We’re so so glad we got the dinner after party going like we did, what a group of guests :)
